UV-870 Chain (Polynks) [WIP]

Last design for Ultra Deep Sea finally sketched out! It's a pure Psychic Falinks convergent, based on siphonophores! (If you're wondering what the hell that is, I found this video really helpful!) Essentially they are colonial organisms (kinda) that are somewhat similar to jellyfish. If you're familiar with the Portuguese man o' war, that's a siphonophore!

Some of the different siphonophore species I ref...

Ultraviolet Layout Test [WIP]

So the first thing I want to get done is a new background layout template for all the beasts! I've got the design plan for the new one here, will still be tweaking the background elements and decorations before I call it fully done though. I also plan to give it some minor color variations for each Ultra Space world 👀

I liked the general vibe of the old layout, but there were some aspects that I really wanted to revamp before continuing. The general goal for this new one was to go fo...

Member Mons #8: For Mercury Druid

A shiny Furret requested by Mercury Druid! The sparkles were very much inspired by the sparkle animation from Gold/Silver in particular, they're just so satisfying to me lol

UB Fractal

One of my oldest designs, now finished and rendered! Replerplex (Ice/Electric), from the Ultra Deep Sea, based on fractals and starfish mainly! And one detail I wanted to include was making sure the design was radially symmetrical, so it looks the same no matter which way you rotate it.

(I am still working on a new background layout for Ultraviolet btw, so this current one is only temporary. S...

Ultra Deep Sea Recap

A lot of the stuff I've been planning and working on over the past year has been pretty scattered around, so I figured I should put together a nice and organized summary now that everything's almost finalized! You even get to see my stupid spreadsheets lmao

Beyond that, I am also reworking the background layout I use into something a bit more eyecatching, which should be soon! Consider this a semi-reboot of sorts, as I will be taking the opportunity to rework some old designs once I put...

UB Patient (Update)

A nice and simple revisit of this design from a while back! Nothing too crazy when it comes to changes, I mostly spent time coming up with a pose for the render, ironing out the details, and adding some more reference sketches. Grafaiaiaiai also brought up the idea of including the buccal cones real ...

UB Trance + Ultraviolet's Return!! [WIP]

Been a while... 👀 The return of Pokemon Ultraviolet!! Not gonna lie, I've been artblocked to hell with this project for the past 6 months or so, but I've suddenly gained the motivation and inspiration to finally continue. Not sure how long it'll last for so I suppose I'll just strike while the iron's still hot lmao.

First up is the last new and original UB I have planned for Ultra Deep Sea! A Rock/Psychic barreleye fish themed after the human brain and its contralateral organization ...

Commission: Legendary Quartet

Won't be posting these commissions for PragMagik publicly as requested by him, so enjoy this secret look! I assume they'll eventually be shown on his channel though, stay tuned maybe?

I gave this spiel already when I posted the sketches last week, but one more time: they're a legendary quartet based on Mimis, fairy-like shadowy spirits from Aboriginal folklore! They were described to me as a mix of the Tap...

Commission: Card Bats

Finally finished the renders for these - a set of commissions for Elijah!

General concept is a family of bats themed around performance and playing card suits! Starts as a whining, shouting baby with diamond patterns and evolves into a shy and awkward teenager type with clover patterns. And finally, a split evo between a hearts-themed singer and a spades-themed performer (very much Phantom of the Opera)!

Commission: Legendary Quartet [WIP 2]

After exploring some more sketch ideas, I've finally landed on some designs the client and I are pretty happy with! Had a tough time trying to make them look distinct from each other while simultaneously sharing the same body plan and aesthetics lol

As a recap: they're a legendary quartet based on Mimis, fairy-like shadowy spirits from Aboriginal folklore. They were described to me as a mix of the Tapus and Celebi design-wise, each representing an element of the marshlands (Ghost/Ground...

Yorica: Fire Starters (development sketches)

Compilation of all the sketches I explored and went through before reaching the final design. It originally started just as a redraw of the original design with some minor pose and proportion tweaks, but I wasn't really happy with it so I went back to the drawing board. Eventually landed on a rough idea, which I then blocked out with solid shape fills, and here we are!

Yorica: Fire Starters (redesign)

Finally got around to updating these designs and am happy enough with them to call them finalized! Also included the old WIP designs I shared ages ago for comparison. The main goal for the redesign was to keep the overall intimidating look while also balancing it with some more cute elements to fit the feel of a starter. Scary but still huggable! I personally found the cute little ears on top of the crazy feral bear face charming lol

The whole evo line is pretty much a Smokey the Bear r...

Commission: Legendary Quartet [WIP]

Starting my next set of commissions with a big brainstorming sketch dump! Gonna be a legendary quartet based on Mimis, fairy-like spirits from Aboriginal folklore. They were described to me as a mix of the Tapus and Celebi, design wise, each representing an element of a marshland (Ground - mud, Poison - miasma, Bug - bugs, Grass - plantlife) 🫡

Yorica: Lotus Swan [WIP]

Quick design I cooked up last night, based on an emoji prompt made by a friend that ended up becoming a cattail ugly duckling and a lotus swan! (This has now the 2nd pretty water lily themed design I've made recently lol) Grass/Water and unnamed, would love suggestions if anyone has any...

Commission: Bats Evo Line [WIP]

Final part of this set of commissions! Added in 2 pre-evolutions that represent diamonds and clovers. I went for a whining baby / awkward shy teen angle to contrast with the confident performer personality of the final stages. Designs are mostly done barring some potential color or pattern changes. Next up will be the final renders!! 🫡

Finally starting the next batch of requests, starting with this chocolate-themed bunny Pikaclone guy! Tried messing around with a bit of a different look for the shading this time.

Character Design Dump [WIP]

Time for something a little different: a set of character designs I was experimenting on recently. 3 for Ultraviolet and 1 for the Yorica region project!

First 3 are Ultra Megalopolis people (hence the outfit design and blue skin). The expedition captains are what I imagine to be the equivalents of a gym leader or warden in a hypothetical game. Acara was also designed by my friend okto who is an amazing ...

Kalosian Serperior [Final]

A comically edgy idea I had for a Grass/Ghost Serperior variant that was too fun to not do. Yes it's a guillotined French royal lmao. A bit poorly timed now that we know Snivy isn't a starter in PLZA but oh well!!

A few weeks back (when I first posted these rough sketches for $5+ members) I also had a rough idea for a Mega evo where the scars open up and vines spill out from them like guts...lmao. Maybe I'll come back to it if there's interest?

Commission: Hearts Bat [WIP]

Next part of this set of card suits-themed bats for Elijah, and the counterpart of the spades bat! This time the given concept was a glamorous performer with a hearts motif and wings folded like a fancy dress. Once again I made sure to hide as many hearts I could all over the design!

Next part of this set should be coming soon, they'll be diamonds and clovers themed pre-evolutions for these current 2!

Kalosian Serperior Take 2 [WIP]

Sooo Kalosian Serperior isn't happening, lmao. That's ok though, I still want to finish this!! Ended up giving this design a 2nd pass, with a focus on emphasizing the neck area and setting it further apart from the original Serperior.

Commission: Spades Bat [WIP]

A design I've been working on recently, as a commission for one of the Patreon members, Elijah! (hi!) Plus some of the early concept development sketches I went through.

The given concept for this guy was a Phantom of the Opera-inspired bat with a spades motif. I had a lot of fun trying to hide spade patterns all over its body lol. I'm quite happy with this one so far, with the only thing left that's somewhat undecided being the wing pattern colors. This guy's also part of a set (evo li...

Yorica Region Trailer

Finally finished up this little video project! An introduction to the Yorica region in the style of a reveal trailer, originally intended for Pokemon Day but instead will go up a little later today lol. Fim did a majority of the video editing work here so many credits to him!!

As a brief refresher/introduction, Yorica is a Fakemon region project based on sunny California, and a collaboration between me and my f...

Yorica: Starters

Happy Pokemon Day to all that celebrate!! Fim and I were working on a trailer video type of thing for today but didn't quite make it in time lol. So for now, have a little starter reveal!

Since the last update we massively overhauled the Grass-starter, so now he's a sneaky little guy up to no good. I'm also using this opportunity to test out this other new layout I came up with a while back for this project! It's also technically not done yet as it's meant to have art of the Professor a...

Kalosian Serperior [WIP]

A comically edgy idea I had for a Grass/Ghost Serperior variant that was too fun to not do. Yes it's a guillotined French royal lmao. But recontextualized as chopped up and scarred tree branches, connected by ghostly ivy vines. Plus a rough idea for a Mega evo where the scars open up and vines spill out from them like guts...lmao. Hopefully this ages well and Snivy ends up being a starter in the new game!! 🫡

I noticed I had a wave of new Patreon members joining recently, so first of all - thank you! And second of all - welcome and enjoy your stay! And third of all - I want to repeat that I'm still up for doing little request drawings like these for anyone interested! This was the previous set of member requests I finished:

Florges Line (final) + New Layout yay!!

Finally finished up the art for these Florges line variants and also took the opportunity to throw together a new background layout! I was aiming for something a bit flashy, but also easy on the eyes and not too busy. I think I'll be using this for random one-off designs as well as commission designs (such as those fossils mons from a while back, which I also included here to test out the layout).

Also, all the flower color variants for these 3! Personally, the blue and black ones are ...

Unnamed Region: Lao-Tu [WIP]

This is Lao-Tu, a legendary Pokemon and essentially the avatar of the spring season! It's a pretty old design of mine that I'm still really fond of. Although this was originally planned as one of the legendary mascots for my unnamed region project, plans changed! Originally I had the name "Pokemon Spring & Fall" in mind, but I came up with a different idea for a title, so I think I might rework this guy into a minor legendary group (like the Tapus or Treasures of Ruin) instead. The curren...

Florges Line: color variants + shiny

Been a bit busy this week, so just a small thing for now! Different flower color forms for each stage just like the original Flabebe line. Mostly based on real water lily colors + black because it just looks cool.

And also, the shiny palette! I don't usually do shiny palettes because I'm really picky when it comes to color palettes and I never have any good ideas lol. But this one was a friend's suggestion I really liked, pulled from the palette of the classic painting Ophelia...

UB Fractal (Update)

Slight update for UB Fractal! The design is mostly the same, I just wanted to redraw it to adjust the pose and revamp its overall body shape into something more starfish-like.

And as a brief refresher, this is UB Fractal, aka Replerplex! Based on fractal images, starfish, brittle stars. And now for some lore I wrote up for its dex entry:

Wild Replerplex are commonly seen laying flat on the ground while camouflaged among the crags and crystals of the Ultra Deep Sea. One individual ...
