Flabebe, Floette, Florges Variants

Finally finished the full evo line! Fairy/Water, themed after water lilies!

Flabebe took some inpiration from tadpole tails and those pictures of jumping spiders with water droplets on their heads. Floette was inspired from photos of lily pads from underwater, which were also what gave me the idea in the first place! Florges wears the lily pad as a fancy sunhat, with a more mermaid-like lower body.

Florges Variant [WIP]

A random idea that recently came to me, a Fairy/Water Florges variant themed after water lilies! I had a lot of fun trying to think of ways to use the unique features of water lilies for this design! Haven't finished them yet, but Flabebe is going to be sitting on a lily pad floating at the water's surface, while Floette will be holding onto the roots of a lily pad like its an umbrella. And Florges here wears the lily pad as a sun hat!

Hydraconda (Sketchdump)

Compilation of most of the sketches Fim and I did throughout the design process! This one's been in the works for a long while and has gone though a lot of changes over time. The core concept of a water hose firefighter snake was always there though! For a while we were stuck on the tail design but ended up with something pretty simple and straightforward. The head is designed after firefighter helmets and safety goggles/visors. The front of its body is a pouch of sorts that stores water, whi...

Yorica: Spritsit & Hydraconda

The Water-type starter of the region! Based on snakes, water hoses, and firefighters. We finally landed on a design we're pretty happy with, though the middle stage is still in the works. Planned to be a little snake coiled up into the shape of a fire hydrant, which is proving to be quite a challenge!

Hextracts? [WIP]

Scribbled down some sketches of an idea I had for an original monster taming series (unrelated to Pokemon), called "Hextracts"!

Imagine Pokemon, but you're a witch creating magical familiars by brewing ingredients together in your cauldron! After gathering odd ingredients from magical monsters and plants, I like to think there's a some kind of potion brewing minigame similar to the poffin cooking game in the Sinnoh games, and the resulting monster you get depends on the ingredients you...

UB Dual (Sketchdump!)

Compilation of most of the sketches I did throughout the design process!
First one is after I had decided on the overall design and started figuring out the posing. The idea of them being back-to-back, hands clasped, and blades crossed was there from the start, but I wanted to keep tweaking it to make sure the silhouette was clear and readable. Ultimately went with the bottom left!

Second pic are the various design sketches I went through! Left was the original design from a few year...

UB Dual [WIP]

New UB just dropped!! UB Dual (Intwizzor), a Fire/Ice type from the Ultra Forest! This is one of the oldest concepts I had, a literal "pair" of scissors that act as a rival to Kartana. Also planning a third Rock type member so they form a rock-paper-scissors trio, each with a 4x weakness to another! Will probably share some of the progress sketches for this design too, as this is pretty much a total overhaul of the (years-old) previous design.

Some design notes:
The scissor handles ...

Tannenboom [WIP]

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Figured it would be a good time for a festive design, so meet Tannenboom (Grass/Fire)! Based on Christmas trees of course, plus the sandbox tree, a really odd species of tree with thorny bark and exploding fruits... This is one of those ideas of mine that were born from a good pun name and nothing else lmao.

Member Mons #5: For SDH!

Last one for now, a Serperior variant from SDH! Really loved the sharpness and blood red color scheme on this one! Original: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvpWr2dLwOi/?igsh=dHU0dW4zeDhrcTdo

As always, if anyone would like a request of Pokemon/Fakemon of theirs to be drawn in this style, feel free. (And if I already did one for you, don't be scared to submit another, I'd be happy to do mo...

Yorica: Grass Starters

Been a while since I shared anything from Yorica so here's a little something! We kinda slowed down a bit lately because we've been busy, but we reworked the grass starter design and have mostly finalized the evo line now! Meet Bukawoo, Rascowl, and Desperrodo (Grass/Dark), based on coyotes and cowboys!

Unnamed Region: Guardian Lion Dogs

Rock type chow chow that becomes a giant stone lion. The design of the head is a bit inspired by the Great Wall of China as well!

Unnamed Region: Pomegranni!

Figure I'd share a bit more from this unnamed Hong Kong-based region idea I had! Here's a kinda old design I did a while ago, an early grass-type family that I imagined would have a similar role to Bellsprout and Oddish in a hypothetical game. They're based on the life cycle of pomegranates!

(Also, my grandma had a pomegranate bush growing outside her house. I have distinct memories of being a little menace and throwing the pomegranates up in the air and watching them splatter on the gr...

Commission: Stegosolar and Lunadont

Finished up the evolutions to the fossils I posted earlier, Stegosolar and Lunadont!

Member Mons #4: For Grafaiaiaiai!

A request from Grafaiaiaiai, who gave the idea of "a bug and fighting type butterfly/moth where the wings resemble the Rumble badge." Went ahead and tried designing my take on that and then rendered it in the tone dot style I've been doing! Goal was to take the look of those cartoon fight clouds with fists coming out and turn it into a 6-legged insect body. Not to mention the black eye and swirly/dizzy antenna!

Commission: Sun and Moon Fossils

Some recent commission designs I just finished up, a sun stegosaurus and a moon glyptodont! Evolutions coming later!

Sunkern 3D Model [WIP]

Time for something a little different! I've been trying to learn Blender lately and wanted to try modeling one of my designs. Starting out real simple with the Sunkern variant since its basic and I can use the official one as reference! I'm currently following a guide and just finished the sculpting, so next is retopo, texturing, and rigging! I kinda am struggling with the retopo tho lmao

Commission: Lunadont [WIP]

Another commission design I've been working on, a moon-themed Glyptodont! It's back is the cratered lunar surface and the pattern on its head is meant to evoke an astronaut footprint!

UB Patient (Sketchdump!)

I ended up amassing an absurd number of attempts at this design and wanted to share some of them lol. The idea was always a sea angel + some transparent, glasslike aesthetic which I had trouble deciding on. Some of the ideas I tried exploring here were stained glass windows, those clear plastic rain coats, and more vague angelic looks. Will probably end up recycling some of these for future designs because I quite like a lot of them still, especially the bottom right fella!. The top left is w...

UB Patient

I've been incredibly art blocked lately when it comes to UBs, but I've finally landed on a design I like!!
Meet UB Patient (aka Gellumina), a Ghost/Electric type from Ultra Deep Sea! Based on sea angels, medical gowns, and x-ray imaging.

Commission: Stegosolar [WIP]

A recent commission design I've been working on, a sun-themed Stegosaurus! Its back is meant to be the surface of the Sun, with the plates being solar prominences. Also gave it little sunspot markings on its body. Next up will be a moon-themed Glyptodont, hopefully coming soon!

Karrablast & Escubalier

The counterpart to the Shelmet line, Hoennian Karrablas and Escubalier (Bug/Water)! Karrablast now gets a "natural" evolution, independent of Shelmet. Karrablast is based on a fishing lure, while the Escubalier is a diving beetle with a fishing spear horn that's meant to look like a swordfish when swimming!

Also want to mention that the collab project this is for - Pokemon Legends: Hoenn - is finally starting! These 2 lines were what I contributed but there's plenty more designs from va...

Shelmet & Ashellgor

Finally finished these guys up!
Hoennian Shelmet (Bug/Steel) for an upcoming collab project! They've adapted to volcanoes whereas Hoennian Karrablast (coming soon) have adapted to oceans. Since they no longer live in the same place together, Shelmet get a normal evolution that retains the shell (which it now uses as a lava boat). Based on scaly foot snails!

Member Mons #3: For Mercury Druid!

Number 3, this grass starter mouse deer design from Mercury Druid, hope you like! I enjoyed picking the colors for this one, went for a more goldish overtone.

(Again, if anyone hasn't submitted anything and still wants to, feel free to link it to me in the replies!)

Karrablast & ??? [WIP]

The counterpart to the Shelmet line from earlier, a Bug/Water Karrablast! These ones have adapted to oceans while the Shelmet adapted to volcanoes. Since they no longer live in the same place as each other, Karrablast gets a normal, non-armor-stealing evolution! Karrablast is based on a fishing lure, while the unnamed evo (suggestions extremely welcome lol) is a diving beetle with a fishing spear horn. And it looks like a swordfish when swimming!

Beta Peanut Pokemon!

Never thought we'd see beta Pokemon for X and Y but here we are!! I really love these 2, desperately hoping they come back one day...

Beta Hoenn Starters

Took one look at the original starter concept art and was enamored!! I still like Mudkip, but that bunny is just way too cute...

Beta Lickilicky & Rotom-Wash

A bunch of beta Pokemon leaks just came out today and completely threw a wrench in my plans LOL

Expect a lot more of these, I've always been really interested in the beta designs!!

Shelmet & Ashellgor [WIP]

I was really unhappy with the previous design (below) LOL, so I decided to rework it! If you missed it, the idea is a Shelmet that's adapted to volcanoes. Since they no longer live in the same place as Karrablast, they get a normal evolution that retains the shell (which it now uses as a lava boat).

Member Mons #2: For Beast-o-morph!

Next up, this dinosaur design from Beast-o-morph! Hope you like!! Went for a more muted pink and blue for this one, kinda iffy on it tbh but I'm happy with it for now!

(Again, if anyone hasn't submitted anything and still wants to, feel free to link it to me in the replies!)

Ultra Space Concepts

Been working on Ultraviolet stuff a little out of order lately! (sorry for the lack of updates, I don't have much that's presentable atm lol) One longer-term goal I'm thinking about is a hypothetical DLC "expansion" of sorts with some new Ultra Space worlds to explore. Still an early concept in my mind, but some details:

The Ultra Fresco: A painted canyon/plateau type of place, but all of the colored streaks are actual pigments or paints staining the terrain. Each of the plateaus have m...
