Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
hmm yea 3D art is really hard, i would reccomend 2D something like little fighter, that'd be stacks mad and im sure it wouldnt be that hard to produce but anyway good luck man.
id reccomend starting to draw some of the NPC's and other characters up on a computer and trying to make them 3D, you have to make sure they are engaging to the player.
man i feel really bad as i am never online when you VM me, what time some are you in, because i will try to sort out a time that is easy for the both of us.
