Fifth tells me that the pen-looking tool in Photoshop is like GIMP's path tool. It's really different though and I haven't played with it enough to really learn it.
Ivysaur. I only really drew him for the character selection portrait and hadn't really thought of what sort of direction I'd take for him appearance- or character-wise. I like
the Red/Blue sprite so I stole some stuff from it. I proceeded to revamp the stylized Ivysaur texture by adding the white underside, lines on the leaves and flower petal spots. I'll show that off after I fix the skin colors of Captain Falcon, Ness, Mario, and get rid of the dust/fog in my stylized 1-1/1-2.
Several Yoshis.
