Note: Woopsie, I meant for this to come out earlier, but accidentally set it to schedule a month from now! That's never happened before!
Did I say the Mega Charizard set would be our final releases for the Year of the Dragon series?
Yeah, I lied.

The finale of our Year of the Dragon series is here!
We reserve the right to release additional dragons outside of the Year of Dragon series, including, but not limited to, any additional Dragon-Type Moemon that receive new sprite work.
There's some additional added effects with these two dragons, including some physics, although ...

I'm not even going to begin to describe the process with this one, because it's definitely one of the few Moemon that took way too long to make, even though I still got it out on time. Roaring Moon holds roughly 50 accessories, and that's after I trimmed it down a bit.
Unlike the actual Salamence family, Roaring Moon's crescent wing uses a different shape model so...

This is the first Mega I've ever felt wasn't really that complicated in creating, since it's really a simple design. Even the actual Pokemon isn't much different than regular Salamence, but like them, this one bears a crescent wing rather than two scythes or whatever the shape is. I'm not particularly happy with the thickness of the wings on either, though. Stil...

Few things are as soul-crushingly painful as working on something for several hours and going to hit "Save" but instead clicking "Load" and losing all that work. That's when you just turn everything off and go cry in the corner. It's a really good thing that Material edits are saved locally or I would've really freaked out.
There's two ...

Happy Easter everyone! Bunny Regigigas is here!
Hope everyone is enjoying your Easter weekend! I had a tiny bit of extra time, so I decided to whip something up last minute. This isn't actually a new card, it's a simple themed outfit for the previous Regigigas release, which I think is maybe the very first time we have had an outfit card available.
However, for simple convenience, the o...

This is a bit of an unusual post as it's more of a preview for next month's releases, while also containing a slight update for Zinnia, as she's our featured Trainer this month, with her signature Moemon being updated / released, starting with Rayquaza.
First off, Zinnia contains an updated base model, complete with all of the minor adjustments such as the O...

The final piece of the Tao Trio fusion set is here with White Kyurem! Similar to Black Kyurem, the main outfits are mostly the same, with a few tweaks, and if you have not noticed by now, the body is exactly the same, by design (the Tao Trio are meant to be split from one original dragon, after all). The main difference is with the accessories, of course.

I wanted to release both Black and White Kyurems at the same time as a sort of package deal, but after finishing Black faster than anticipated, I decided not to hold off on releasing her since White is definitely going to take a bit longer due to her design, and I at least want something out right now.
Black Kyurem has mostly the same outfit as Kyurem, al...

The third and final Tao Dragon is here!
I had to use a lot of liberties with Kyurem as her design is very unorthodox compared to other more simpler Moemon. In particular are Kyurem's "wings", which in this case are made of multiple fragmented shards. Included with her is a custom Spear weapon as well, which sub accessories turns off.
Of course, this is simpl...

I just wanted to give a small update given some real life problems recently. The other day, I was taken to the ER and hospitalized for several days. It was brutal. I felt like death. Fortunately, I've managed to recover from immediate risk and have been released, but it's been a slow process recovering at home, as I since developed more traditional flu-like symptoms on top of the critical issue I was brought in for.
All of this is to simply say, work on the next re...

It took some time, but the second Tao dragon is finally here!
Zekrom took a considerable amount of work since I had to add a ton of emission maps to her outfits, and not just her default outfit, but all of her outfits have some emission maps (except her Sleeping outfit), which I hope you'll like.
Her design above is modified, of course, to be a bit more sexy, but ...

It sucks losing 8 hours of work due to random power outages, but sometimes starting over brings new perspective, which in this case, gave me the chance to bring a little more "oomph" to Reshiram's design and some sensible changes, like replacing the unattachable gem on her chest to a necklace, and moving her wings to her back instead of arms; even though that departs from t...

We're taking a step back from our Year of the Dragon series to push out some Gen 8 Moemon as they all just received some new sprites and I absolutely wanted to dive into them straight away. They're technically Lizards anyways, so they might as well just be wingless dragons.
Toxel has a very slight difference in her design. I ...

Mo'o is Hawaiian for Dragon.
Another tedious set is finally finished. I think overall we're banking on nearly 80 accessories across the three, with Kommo-o having over 40 by herself, and I certainly could have used more, but I didn't have all month to work with.
While I'm fairly satisfied overall with this set, p...

I'm actually mad that I couldn't get this out as early as I wanted to and promised I would, but I was really unhappy with the initial design of Naganadel, so I entirely redid her.

I really convinced myself that doing entire 3-set families of dragons one after the other wouldn't take that much time, as if I haven't been doing this for a couple of years and should know better.

You may notice that Hydreigon has a different sprite since the preview a few weeks ago. There happened to be a last minute update to her sprite, and I decided to design her off that. Mainly because the outfit was much easier than the long-dress the other sprite had.

Yes, they're Dragons.
Once more, I wish I documented the work behind these ones, because it was one long struggle session filled with dead ends and lots of trial and error to get something that truly captures the essence of these 'mons.

It's been quite some time since we've visited Johto, much less the actual Gym Leaders, and I really want to take some time this year to renovate all the old Gym Leaders to a proper standard. In this case, being the Year of the Dragon series, who is more appropriate than our Petty Dragon Princess, Clair?

Hello everyone!
We've wrapped up our second set of Legendaries following the recent release of Keldeo as the fourth member of the Swords of Justice, and although we will return eventually to do the Paradox forms of them when their sprites eventually finish (hopefully someday soon), it's time to look at what the next month(s) have in store.
Back in November I asked which Legendary sets you'd li...

I'll never stop complaining about the fact that, despite KK for being modded for several years now, we still don't have any accessories that resemble a fiddlehead. Lapras ears work close enough, though, I suppose.. So we gotta use what we gotta use. I like how they came out for the hair, at least. Actually, I really like the hair overall. It's always fun putting different p...

Based on popular demand, our next Legendary series is beginning with the Swords of Justice Legendaries from Gen 5 - starting with, of course, Cobalion. These Legendaries are based off the Three Musketeers so their design is actually fairly straight forward, though there were a few minor things that required some adjustment, overall this is a rather simple design.
