This is Ancient Onix but I've only got the front side and only this Onix. Don't worry, I will do the backside and all sides and forms for Steelix! What do you think?I do worry I added a tad too much plant and dirt debri falling/hanging off of Ancient Onix. Btw, I will update this thread when more work is done.
I've now made an Ancient Onix party/box Icon! So much easier to do!
Edit: I had to re-edit this post as I wanted to update the backside Onix because the plants on its head was bothering me and I already had an updated version made even if minor. But due to that, I had to delete and re-add all the sprites 'cause of it but I didn't mind.
Ancient Onix Form Update!! Ancient Steelix! Ancient Mega Steelix! I am NOT good with spriting crystals! XD I tried! Here's the new version, there's not much difference.
Ancient Onix Dex Entry: A very old and possibly even Ancient Onix that seemed to have survived it all. It also seems to have flecks and veins of gold on its body, but is hard to see due to the foliage it had gained throughout its' years of living and hibernating. It has gained a much larger body compared to regular Onix and is more durable despite its' ancient visage. Running into an Ancient Onix is nigh impossible due to its natural mossy camouflage and long hibernation that probably lasts for years at a time. Upon discovery, many people tried to search for one due to the gold on its body that it had probably gotten due to its' mineral diet, but many have failed thus far. It's unknown if anyone has managed to catch one besides the one specimen that was first discovered.
Ancient Steelix Dex Entry: Upon evolving, the Ancient Onix's mineral composition became more refined and hardened, and covers most of it's body now revealing all their glory while losing the majority of foliage, especially moss. However, it also gained a much more nastier disposition possibly due to the rust that eats away at Steelix's body compared to when it was an Onix, thus hurting it. Rust remover is now an itch and pain remedy to this Pokemon. It also enjoys a good polishing which is also quite the daunting task.
Ancient Mega Steelix Dex Entry: Mega Steelix doesn't mind the worse pain it experiences upon mega evolving if it's to protect it's beloved and well trusted trainer. It's also not recommended to let Ancient Steelix to be in mega form for too long due to quicker rusting and extreme internal body heat that causes this phenomena. It was shortly discovered to harbor some water and lava along with crystals within its' steely body that may have been there but not utilize since it was an Onix but now has upon mega evolving. What's usually diamond crystals on it's body can be other minerals depending on it's diet even when it was an Onix such as Amethyst, Citrine, Ametrine, amongst others. Due to the extreme heat, pressure within itself, and the heated water, the crystals continue to grow. It's not recommended to touch Mega Ancient Steelix unless with insulated gloves. Sometimes, lava leaks from the circle areas. Beware of the steam that comes from it's body and mouth.
