GSC-Style Steelix Mockup

Compare with the GSC Steelix sprites here: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wik…

First things first, I made a custom Steelix sprite within a size limit of 96x96 trying to imitate the official Gen IV/V Pokémon sprite style. Then when I was done, I thought "hey this might look cool with the GSC palette". And here we are. Since I figured posting just the Steelix sprite would be a little boring, I whipped up a very simple background and made the whole thing fit the Gameboy's screen size. Call it a mockup screenshot. Menu border is similar to the one in GSC but I decided to create a thicker border version.

I may post the full-colour sprite sometime, but I might use it in Pokémon Coral so I wouldn't want anyone to use it. This isn't really free-to-use either, but figured I don't need to watermark this since it wouldn't be usable in a GSC hack anyway due to its larger size (GSC only supports up to 56x56). So yeah, just a fun test.

Don't know what the Tournament could be, but since a single Pokémon wins it would most likely be a marathon of 1-on-1 matches like what you'd find in the Battle Frontier. Just had to type in something that fits without scrolling.

Classified under Pixel Art > Characters since the Steelix is the main focus here, couldn't find a better category.
