>>25208410I didn't really base it off anything specific. I probably could make it more like a real bird, like a woodpecker, with some tweaking. Maybe a shorter beak would work better, and make it look broken/crooked. I was mostly trying to figure out how to make a boxing bird that isn't just a bird in a humanoid stance (Blaziken/Hawlucha). Probably should have put more effort into finding a bird species to reference.
>>25208332I'm sure there's some guides out there that would be a big help, both Pokemon-oriented and just in general. Some of the skills you use in splicing could help too, I bet.
This one's one of mine that I made from scratch. I posted one of the same mon but in 5th gen style the other day in the last thread, but I really do like the 2nd gen style too. I tend to reference off existing sprites for shading/shape/size help, so if that helps you could try that too.
