Kalosian Milcery & Macaremie

Finished! Barely just in time for ZA's release date lol

Ended up removing the drizzle on the top of the hat/shell because it felt too cluttered and reduced the recognizability of the macaron parts in my eyes. Theoretically it would have multiple other flavor colors with all possible combinations of sweets, but I don't have time for all that lmao. Still, of these 7, have any favorites?

Kalosian Milcery & Macaremie [Final Sketch]

Updated take on the previous sketch of this design! I think I'm happy enough with it to call it final, so rendering comes next. Plus various different flavor forms just like the original Alcremie!

(Recap from previous post)

Will be doing a little mini-series inspired by ZA this month. All signs are pointing to no Kalosian regional forms so it's my job now!! Starting out with an egg-based Milcery and a regional evolution named Macaremie, based on macarons! (which are meringue-based...

Kalosian Milcery & Macaremie [WIP]

We are so back 🫡

Will be doing a little mini-series inspired by ZA this month. All signs are pointing to no Kalosian regional forms so it's my job now!! Starting out with an egg-based Milcery and a regional evolution named Macaremie, based on macarons! (which are meringue-based, hence the egg theming of Milcery). Probably Fairy/Rock with some flavor text about its shells being stiff and hard, like stones. There will of course be various color forms and one for each type of sweet, com...

Yorica Starters, but Crunchy

Happy October!! Finally back and I'm definitely feeling a little more refreshed. Here's something a bit different from the usual that I was working on, sprites! Fun fact, my first ever art program was MS Paint and I actually started out doing dinky little Gen 5-style Fakemon sprites when I was like, 10. Always fun to go back and try pixel art every now and then. Also, let me know if you guys would like to see more sprites in the future! 👀

In other news, I have a couple plans for art ...

Billing Pause For Sept 2 - Oct 2

Hi everyone! Just writing a status update, I'll be taking a break from updating my page this month to rest and recharge! A few months back I got a job working on creature designs for a game project (which I'm not allowed to share unfortunately), so I've been a bit stretched thin lately and figured it was time for a break. I've paused billing for Sept 2 - Oct 2, so you won't be charged like usual until next month when I'm back! I believe your billing date will not change, so t...

Elemental Regis

Another set of old commissions I did in ~2021 but never posted - Grass, Fire, and Water type Regis! No clue why I did so many different concept sketches for them lol, but they are neat to look back at. Now if I remember right... Water was designed after a water molecule with hurricane-shaped hands, Grass was designed after ancient plants like ferns, and Fire was designed after volcanoes!

Mega Victreebel

Finally, another new Mega to draw!! Might try to make a series out of this for all the future Megas, maybe. Anyway I felt pretty indifferent to Mega Victreebel when I first saw it, but it really started to grow on me after I saw it hop around in the gameplay trailer lol. What a freak!!

(Also threw in the WIP Mega Dragonite I started a while back. I never really felt like cleaning it up much and decided to just call it done lol)

Regional Hattrem Line

Another one of the commissions I did back in the day but never posted - a Hattrem regional form/evolution based on the tree octopus hoax!! Final stage was designed to look like a tree on top of being octopus-like lol. Not sure what actually came of these guys or if they were ever used in a region project or anything, but at least you can see em here!

Regional Impidimp Line

I was looking through some old files and stumbled upon these fellas, a gargoyle-themed regional variant/evolution for Impidimp that I designed as a commission back in 2022. I never did share them publicly but I figured here would be a great place for them! I do have a couple more commission designs from this time period I never posted either, so stay tuned! 👀

Yorica: Gym Leader Moira

Another trainer design I cooked up a while back, this time a Ghost-type leader for the region! Since its a California region, having a Hollywood (aka Pokestar Studios) section of a Los Angeles-inspired city is a must, and we figured it would make for fun theming for a gym leader. Moira here is a famous horror movie director and her gym would have you wandering through a movie set as she watches from the director's chair. Her team would have some classic horror movie monster-inspired Fakemon d...

Yorica: Evolving your Starters!! Again!!

Time for the final evolutions!

These have been in the works for SO long so I'm happy to finally say they're done!! And now that you've seen their final forms, I'm wondering if your starter choice has changed at all! Were they what you expected or did they surprise you?

Design credits:
Desperrodo - designed by both & rendered by Gooompy
Smoldursa - designed & rendered by Gooompy

Yorica Region Outline [WIP] (Part 1)

Surprise! We're planning a region map too!! I originally wasn't even going to do one, but I got convinced lmao.

So I've been going on and on about Yorica being based on California (+ bits of Nevada and Arizona), but now I can actually SHOW that lol. I'll be giving a brief rundown on the region so far! First off, the region is organized into several sections - Northern Yorica, Central Yorica, Southern Yorica, and the Great Yorican Desert - but today we start with the North!

Yorica: Evolving your Starters!

Next Yorica update just dropped!!
Since last time, we finally started officially posting on our socials (Instagram/Twitter/Bluesky/Tumblr), so that's progress! This time we bring you the middle-stage evolutions of the starters. For those of you who have't seen the WIP sketches yet, I'm curious to know what you think the final evolutions will look like. 👀 And for those who have, do you think you would have been able to guess right?

I also forgot to include design credits initially,...

Mega Dragonite [WIP]

A little WIP piece of fanart this time to celebrate the momentous occasion!!! I actually quite like Mega Dragonite... I was a little lukewarm on it at first because I thought it seemed a little bland, plus I really dislike the official render of it. But seeing it again in-game and in fanart helped it grow on me. Curious to know what you guys think of it!

Yorica: Capyterra [WIP]

An older design I forgot to share! One of my personal favorites and a pretty simple little guy - Capyterra! A little Ground type capybara made of soil! We had this dumb idea where it becomes a stack of capybaras as it evolves lmao

Yorica: Starter Evolution Recap [WIP]

Since the starter sketches have been super scattered around, heres's a quick recap of the starters, now finalized! Only thing that's really new are the Grass and Water middle stages. We kept going through a billion different designs for them but I'm happy to say we finally settled! Now it's just time for the final renders, 4/9 done so far. 🫡

Just wondering... which starter are you choosing? (Poll)

Now that these guys are 100% fully and completely done, for real this time, I'm curious to know which of the three you'd choose in a hypothetical game. And explain why down below if you'd like, I'd love to hear your reasoning! 👀

Yorica: Introducing the Starters!

Ultraviolet's not the only starter set + new layout combo post I have to show... 👀 Finally made some good progress on the Yorica project, we're getting ready to finally post stuff in the coming weeks! As a brief refresher for those that are new or have forgotten, Yorica is a collab region project from me and Fimbo, based on California!

New since last time:

• Finalized layout design...

Ultraviolet Starter Evolutions

Continuing from last time, presenting the evolutions of the starters! Now with the new layout! New from the last time you saw these fellas:

• New Naganadel art!! This was actually one of the ones I wanted to update the most... While I really like the official art, it has a very dynamic pose that really stands out against my art of the other 2 starters. So for my render, I decided to give i...

Yorica: Cookreep & Lifetover [WIP]

A really dumb idea I had - haunted fortune cookie and Chinese takeout box, complete with receipt! The idea came from learning that fortune cookies were invented in California, which led to a general theme of American Chinese food tropes. Which brings us to Cookreep and Lifetover, pure Ghost types! I don't do obect-based designs nearly as often as I want, so this was a nice experiment. I definitely imagine some silly folklore for them, like they're the souls of kids who didn't finish their din...

Staryu Line Ultra Variant? [WIP]

Some more rough sketches today, it's a bit of an out-there idea but hear me out!!

Ultra variants of the Staryu line based on sci-fi starships and comets? I'm thinking of a spacey overall vibe for each of them - a falling star Staryu, spiral galaxy Starmie, and a sleek starship as a new evolution. Tentatively I have it jotted down for Ultra Crater, mainly because Celesteela is a rocket, though I don't think it fits all that well either. If anyone has better ideas please feel free haha 2025-06-30 01:52:31 +0000 UTC View Post

UB Jet & UB Sprite [WIP]

Rough designs for a concept I've in my mind for a while! Names are UB Jet aka Bzzip (Electric/Fairy) and UB Sprite aka Bzzoom (Electric/Fairy)! They're from Ultra Plant (Xurkitree's world) and live high up in the atmosphere, galloping through the sky.

They're based on different types of upper atmospheric lightning which I find really visually interesting. For whatever reason, the people wh...

Ultraviolet Starters (REBOOT!!)

Pokemon Ultraviolet, my Fakemon project set in Ultra Space, is back for real this time!! It's been quite a while, so if you're newer and/or unfamiliar, see this intro post to catch up!

I got pretty distracted and sidetracked over the past year and ended up taking a break from it, but I'm finally ready to return. I'm considering this a semi-reboot as I'll be taking some time to rework and up...

Ultraviolet: Starter Concept Sheets! [WIP]

I'm almost finished with the layout, I can taste it... Last real thing I want to do is to include some small concept sheets in the corner for certain designs, starting with the starters of course! It was nice to revisit these 2 again as it's been a while since I first designed & drew them. Probably won't be doing a ref sheet like this for Poipole since it's an official design, but I do plan on doing some new sugi art for it, coming soon... 👀

Ultraviolet Layout Test 2 + Poll! (vote if you dare)

So I'm back from my trip, which means I can finally resume working on some stuff again! Starting off by continuing this new layout template I've been planning for Ultraviolet. It may not look like it, but I kinda redid all the individual parts while keeping the same basic plan as before. 2025-06-10 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Miscellaneous Sketches 2 [WIP]

Some more rough sketches I've been thinking about recently! These ones are much rougher than the other ones but I thought they'd be interesting to show off early. These are actually all UB ideas I'm exploring for the Ultra Jungle! 👀 I'm going for a literal "jungle gym" theme for the location, so I've been trying to think up some ideas with that in mind.

Muscle cell Reuniclus variant is self explanatory. Then there's a Steel-type themed after weight racks - haven't thought of the exac...

Miscellaneous Sketches 1 [WIP]

I am still away on my trip to Hong Kong, so until then I figured I'd share some rough sketches I had lying around but never posted! Decided to group them together because I felt the individual sketches didn't have enough substance haha

Not sure when or if I'll finish these, but all of them are just random ideas that came to me. Maybe if any of you like a particular one and want to see it finished I could do it? We've got a razorbill, a medusa lion, a haunted takeout box / fortune cookie...

Yorica: Water Starters

I forgot to mention Yorica is still being worked on, just been a bit slow lately! We finally decided on the the middle stage design for this family, meaning our region's Water-type starter is basically done (minus the final sugi render)! They're named Spritsit, Hydrench, and Hydraconda, designed after California garter snakes, garden hoses, fire hydrants, and firefighter gear! Now all that's left is the Grass starter middle stage and then we're finally ready to get the show on the road...
