Designs like the H-bug I got right on the initial drawing. Although, some like the Dragon and Knight I keep constantly having to redesign. :{ Although, I think its safe to say the Dragon is finished in terms of design, I finally got its head right. It was always off before due to being unable to grasp what I was seeing in my mind. :}
Anyways, now its the 'knight' and 'princess' that I'm trying to redesign. :{ They just seem off somehow. The 'knight' is suppose to be a high speed armor type, which is why it has thin limbs, although it makes it seem alien in some way. Here are some of the re-designs.
Basically, a more epic version of the sprite design. If in game, its target size might still be small, but most likely medium depending on height. Targets like H-bug are considered tiny, which is less than small. Targeting size affects the % of attacks and effectiveness of some attacks.

This new design is what I'm thinking of going with, with some adjustments. Later on. It looks less like an alien, and in some way more epic. Although, if done in a game, its target size would be medium instead of small like its sprite design.

Original design which I redrew a version of at the bottom middle of this image. Doesn't seem high speed, but looks monish, which works with the other cast of mons. The blank stare type eyes looks neat too.

So far, I'm debating which to pick. For the 'Princess', just the hat/head ornament design and hair type are what I'm debating about myself. Long hair would work with her telekinesis type energy that inhabits her frame. To me, her short hair would seem like homage to some other female character I had drawn when I was younger, although I realize now that its probably originally homage to sabrina and whitney from HeartGold SoulSilver. {Well, this time it was anyway when I designed her with that hair this year. That short hair that Sabrina and Whitney have that sticks out to the sides in points is so weird. @ x@ It's kind of equal to the design prowess of long flowing hair on girls.}
