Iron Maidens II - Tempered Boogalo

Aron, Lairon and Aggron have been reworked!

What a long, busy week it's been. Aside from having some real life stuff like my niece's confirmation and my dad's birthday, I've been struggling to get these ladies up to shape. While their outfits in general were fairly simple, most of the work was done adjusting the armor plating. With Lairon and Aggron, I used a slightly different technique to c...

Alolan Roller Coaster Ride

Surfs up! Alolan Raichu is here!

I'm glad I put off making this one until the new sprite came out, as the old one was unfinished and a bit dated, but this one is absolutely superb. Although, as is usual, there are some unfortunate design limitations with the KK engine, most notably that she uses her tail as a surfboard, which is not technically possible without "faking it" in Studio. 

Gracidea Flowers

The Mythical Grass-type Shaymin is here! In two Formes!

Shaymin wasn't quite planned for this month but I decided to throw her together in celebration of the Moemon team putting forth a sprite-swap Moemon Platinum version over on their discord, which is essentially the base Platinum game, but with Moemon!

Since, as I've mentioned before, I never actually beat DPP/Gen 4, I'm actually tak...

~You Are The Dancing Queen~

Jynx is here!

Small release today. I actually thought about doing a Shiny version alongside this release, though the cannon Shiny version is essentially the same, but with silver hair. Which is a little.. lazy, I think. Might do a Dark version though, because there's something hot about a ditzy tan, California-blonde Jynx and a pale, white Goth-girl Jynx.

I can imagine it now and I want...

Rhino and Stag

Pinsir and Heracross are here!

While not officially related, these two are often seen as counterparts to each other with their opposite exclusivity in games like X/Y (along with their Mega forms), and it's generally agreed upon that since Scyther got it's Scizor evolution in Gen 2, Pinsir CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE EVOLVED INTO HERACROSS BUT MAYBE THAT'S JUST MY OPINION IDK.

Anyways, something...

Lickity Split

Lickitung and Lickilicky are here!

There's really only two things of note about this set worth mentioning: First, they intentionally have similar outfits (only different colors) and similar facial features specifically to give them a twin-like appearance, and secondly, their "tongue" scarf does actually have some buoyancy to them since I opted to use one of the unique "Shapes" accessory that ...

Drill Bits

Rhyhorn, Rhydon and Rhyperior are here!

Just a few things to note with these three.

I discovered a better way to utilize neck pieces with Rhyhorn's armored neck rings. Instead of attaching them to the Neck node (which is what I usually attach things like scarfs to), I've attached it to Mid-back, which keeps it stationary and allows you to move the head/neck without causing clipping. I d...

Mother's Day Date with Delia!

If you know, you know.

Thunderbolt and Lightning (Very, Very Frightening)

Electabuzz and Electivire are here!

Hey look at that, I'm not dead (although I felt like I was), and actually made some stuff! Yeah, as I mentioned on our Discord, I came down with a very nasty virus that just fucked me up for a few days, to the point I could do nothing. Then I got better and started catching up again. Then my brother visited.. turns out he had bronchitis. Thanks, asshole. No...

Team Galactic #1 - Admins

Mars! Jupiter! Saturn! Reporting for duty!

The Galactic Admins were an unexpected pain in the ass to make, particularly Mars. While these are relatively "simple" in design, there's a level of complexity to each that took a lot of time to get right. Add in a little bit of creative liberty and here we are.

Saturn was fairly easy, though the challenge came from translating "male" clothes o...

Magnetic Attraction

Magnemite, Magneton and Magnezone are here!

While all three technically have new sprites, I've actually modelled Magnezone off her former sprite, since I thought it looked a bit more inline with the others. That said, I do plan on remaking the old Magneton based on her previous sprite/outfit, as well as making the new Magnezone:

Galactic Threat

Team Galactic Leader Cyri is here!

This is an unusual one, since it's technically one of the few completely original designs from myself. There is no base card other than Cyrus himself, the design is 100% my own creation. Also unusual is that last time I released the lowest level gang members first leading up to the Leader, with regards to Team Rocket. This time, it's the opposite.

That...

Mega Bunny Milkies

Mega Lopunny is here!

BIG, FAT

MOMMY LOPUNNY

Buns and Thighs

Arms and Gains

Get swole my friends

Enjoy!

Happy Easter!

Easter Bunnies

Buneary and Lopunny have been reworked!

At a certain point I start to feel ashamed that I ever released some of these older versions since I was so wildly inexperienced, but I suppose it's true that everyone feels that way about their older works. I can safely say I'm really happy how the modern style I've developed comes out, but sometimes it's difficult created a similar outfit or design wi...

Update #50 - Mid-season Report!

Hey everyone! I wanted to do a bit of a progress report and update on a few things going forward since I still need a day or two to finish the next release, since there might be a bit of ambiguity as to what Moemon might be up to release. The main question is, are we still doing Gen 4?

Well, yes and no.

As mentioned before, the Moemon team have had to redo a ton of sprites since they spli...

Frosty Royalty

Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetales are here!

One of my all time favorites. Ninetales has always had a place in my heart, but the Alolan version was just *chef's kiss* mwah! That said, I had a lot of fun working on these, getting them just right. I have a custom character of my own that I made (and never released) as a sort of personal trainer of myself, and one of the 6 core members of my tea...

Shrine Maidens

Vulpix and Ninetales have been reworked!

Shiny, too.

Really only wanted to point out two things of note when I was making these. First, about halfway through Vulpix I accidentally just straight deleted her hair thinking I made a backup/copy of the accessories to her second slot (I usually do this...

Moemon Evolved!

After nearly 1,000 cards released so far between Gens 1 to 8, including Shiny forms, regionals, Megas, Dark versions, trainers, Gym Leaders, and others, it's time we take Moemon to the next level.

Ever wondered what a Moemon would look like in a more.. animal-like form? Instead of the typical humanoid appearance, what would Moemon look like if they were more like tiny Monsters? Perhaps Pocket-sized Monsters?

Well, no need to imagine. After hours and hours of work over the...

Lake Guardians

Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf are here!

If you're following our Discord, you'll have seen the WIP shot of this the other day and there's one substantial change I ended up making; their tails. While the Moemon artists typically make their tails a form of hairstyle like a ponytail or something, I tried this in KK and while it actually looked decent, I decided to simply recreate their actual tails ins...

Back to School #4 - Not Asuka Edition

Another Lass is here! Meet Megan.

No, this isn't Asuka from Evangelion. They're just, y'know, very similar. I mean, barely, but here's a bigger HD picture from the same Lass design but in Pokemon Masters!

Rapturous Raptors

Starly, Staravia, and Staraptor are finally here!

With these three out, we now have the first 21 consecutive Moemon of Gen 4 released. Which doesn't really mean anything. More importantly, this is now 62 out of 116 Moemon for Gen 4 (Not including the ONE Mega, Lucario), which is now over half of Gen 4.

Back to these girls. What can I say? I love them! Staraptor is so hot. I actually was a...

Once in a Blue Moon

Poochyena and Mightyena have been reworked!

It's been quite some time since these two saw their initial release (I swear I didn't plan this - it just happens to have been March 2 years ago!) and that was back before I really developed a consistent style. 

Like before, I'm using an older ...

Codename: UB-02 Absorption

Spawning from deep within the Ultra Jungle.. 

Buzzwole is here!

This is the first time we're using a special body type - so if you haven't updated your game in awhile, it may not be working properly for you. The body type, EV Muscle Arm, can actually be changed on the whim now, including in studio, in the Status menu.

Back to School #3 - Classy Lass

Trainer Lass (DPPt) Natalie is here!

Natalie here is a bit slimmer and taller than the other Lass girls, and yes, adjustments have been made to her face as well, though subtle, you can tell she actually seems to have a bit of eye shadow in her sprite.

You may notice the hair color is different than the puke-green coloring that the sprite has. The reason I changed it is because the sprit...

Back to School #2 - Retro Years

Trainer Lass - Dana is here!

GSC Version! Named after a particular Lass found on Route 38, which is the only Lass that can be re-battled in GSC (in fact, she has extended fights in Crystal with an Ampharos, but I haven't updated Ampharos' line yet so she's not included in the screenshot!)

While playing with her outfits, I ended up putting too much effort into her casual set, for some reas...

Card Front Pack v1.1.5 (+Minor Update Notice)

It's been a few months since the prior release, but personally it only felt like a few weeks! How time flies! This pack contains every card front from the last pack plus everything since then up to the last release, including the trainers and legendaries.

Here's a quick breakdown of what's added.

Moemon

• Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu
• Ponyta, Rapidash (+Shiny)
• Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Rapidash
• Carvanha, Sharpedo
• Milcery, Alc...

Buzzy Babes

Combee & Vespiquen are here!

Talk about an absolute pain in the ass to make. Literally spent like three days working on these, although the reason it took so long mostly had to do with external factors, Vespiquen was still a bitch to make. Crap, I actually just realized I made a tiny mistake too! But maybe nobody will notice and I can quietly fix it later :^)

Truth be told, I had se...

Re-Dawned

Dawn has been reworked!

It's actually been roughly a year since Dawn has been out and since then some mods have come out specifically for her - her own hat (well, a better designed one), hair clippings, her Poketch, and bag, which have all been added and fitted appropriately - oh, and her scarf, of course!

The usual face and body readjustments have been made.

Alongside that, her ...

Pachipachi

Pachirisu is here!

One of those Pikachu clones everyone seems to forget about, but nonetheless adorable. I mean sure, people will talk shit, but if you could own a freaking electric squirrel in real life, would you pass that chance up?

By the way, did you know Dawn owned a Pachirisu? You should, because it's one of her iconic members!
