Thank you! I have done the base colors now. As for the second piece I decided to make NOT a drawing but a sculpture of Death from the same game Super Castlevania IV!
@GrailUK Hey, man. That's a pretty decent doodle, alright.
@Zuljaras Well, you just seem to be improving every time you make something, so I'd figure you'd stand a pretty decent chance of winning at least something.

@MarioLover92 I decided to dump some of these old maps here in order to not make the Chit-Chat Thread too busy. Though "art" in this case might be stretching the concept a bit lol. I've forgotten a few details - it's been over a decade since I made these - but I'll try my best to describe what's in each map!
First, a bit of background: As mentioned in the thread, the region, Myora, was only half-settled; past a certain point, playable characters were supposed to work together to settle the region, found towns and gyms, etc. All official Pokemon at that point, at least up to Gen 4, were available, as were a few Fakemon that were native to the region. Not just anything could make it in; there was an approval process, complete with reasonable movesets, Pokedex entries, sprites, etc.
This town is Nalan. It's a small resort town set near a volcano that can be accessed after traveling through a difficult mountain pass + cave. If I recall, the town before this one/on the other side of the pass was small, but did contain a gym. The hot spring and resort are towards the top left. The town is also home to a famous small lake; it's the only place in the world where Lapras lay eggs that hatch into a pre-evolution that was created for the site (Don't recall the name, unfortunately). The fenced in area with all the "Pokemon" is actually a Pokemon statuary place. The creator is a famous sculptor, known for their life-like statues, who lives in the house on the far left. Unfortunately, I don't recall what the lab in the left-center there is for...to study the Lapras, maybe?
There's a small separate map of the crater of the nearby volcano that contributes to the town's hot springs, but there isn't much on it of note besides a lava pit, ice/snow (high altitude) and a lab to study the volcano.
This is Prisint Town. I feel like the name was changed to something less weird at some point, but I can't recall it. I'm going by the file names. This town is, quite literally, a mix of old and new. It's half-abandoned, as one can tell from the dwellings. A couple of the houses near the path are in one piece (mainly noted by functional doors) and have inhabitants. The big building with the double towers on the left...I don't entirely recall what it is, other than a large corporation somewhat similar to Silph Co. I think. The buildings in the pit on the right of the map are ruins that were discovered when the large business was originally being built. Instead, the building construction was moved to its present location while the site was excavated. The excavations are still in progress; the building with the orange roof is a lab where the archaeologists study the ruins and store their discoveries and equipment.
Some background on the ruins; this wasn't known to normal players, only staff. They were actually a way to set off a cataclysmic event that would, quite literally, start a sort of Armageddon between the legendary Pokemon of the region. There were six total, two trios each; three that were, essentially, hellish, dog-like demon beasts, and three that were angelic-like beasts. Unfortunately, while I can mentally picture some of the sprites, I didn't create them. I did, however, create some of the items that would summon them.
This is Croterom Town. If I recall, it was the last known settled area in the region before reaching the frontier. It's a farming community (The name tries to combine "crops" and "loam"; I think the final name might've changed a little at one point as well). The fenced-in area towards the bottom right is intended to be a Pokemon daycare. All the orange buildings towards the left are actually storage silos for grain, berries, and other crops. There isn't much else of note besides that red contest hall towards the center and the small pond surrounded by rocks; I feel like there's something significant about the pond, but I've forgotten all the details lol.
There are three other town maps I have as well. Two of them could be the town before Nalan; one has no name ("Pass"), the other is Etora Town. Then there's a city, Baertaria (I know this name also changed to something else) where I went completely...nuts. It's very busy lol.
