Phoenixsong does fakemon arts.; Why, yes, as a matter of fact, she does.

The head the colours and the concept are great.

Though I think the wings can use just a tad more definition. I also think you can give him a leener body. Right now his belly hangs down really low (or might be the opposite seeing how he has just a tad of a hump kinda thing going).

Still a great job. I wish I could do what you do.

He's not supposed to be lean like Rapidash; Belezas was based on bulkier draft horses. Everyone does skinny fakemon horses, and I wanted to do something different. Besides, this way he can be louder, mightier, more like thunder. The hump, eh; there isn't one, but I can sort of see what you mean. That blue part is the base of the wing, not his back. I guess that isn't perfectly clear, though. It might've been more obvious with shading, but shadows right next to bright, glowing wings doesn't make any sense. Hm.

Also, the wings are pure electricity, not feathered or anything. I don't really know that more definition would work.

Thanks, though.

I've been volunteering on a horse farm for a while now, and it's given me a great appreciation for equines in general. And I must say, Belezas is FUCKING AWESOME.

You should sell it to Budweiser, to replace their Clydesdales.

Thanks, you guys. Again, I will insist that I'm really not the best pseudomori artist out there by a longshot, but I do appreciate the compliments.

I haven't done anything recently, mostly because my fakemon mood is starting to ebb a little bit. I do have some unfinished ones that I might finish up soon, but not for now.

There *is* one more older one that I really want to show you, but I can't. :/ Soon, hopefully, soon...

Rrrr I thought I was *this* close to being able to show you that other older picture, but, alas, it has to wait. In the meantime, though: Here, have a faceless badger.

:ghost:


This here is Noperajina, the No Face Pokémon. (Okay, okay, technically the mouth is part of the face, but it just looked like it needed a terrifying grin so shut up.) It's based on the two Japanese spirits the noppera-bo and the mujina; the two are apparently often confused, but I combined them intentionally. Because faceless badgers with terrifying grins make everything better.

Would've replied to comments and posted more pics sooner than this, but up until today my internet connection has been... less than cooperative, shall we say. But ahem, yes, anyway, I appreciate the points. Actually, Verdeguar and little dinosaur guy (Floradon's been finalized as the name now, right?) were supposed to go in the Zen Forest banner--that was why TX asked me to draw them. But apparently it ended up not working out. Shame, but what will be will be, eh?

So that the epic bump is not without merit, I come bearing new stuff! And also old stuff I'm pretty sure you haven't seen yet!


Posted Image
:ice:

Arctangel. No, it isn't really any sort of angel, but then Milotic isn't a statue of a topless woman. Arctangel is more or less supposed to be a cute-contest Milotic and the world's most wubbable little arctic fox. The baby blue fur wouldn't provide very effective camouflage in the snow, but Arctangel doesn't care--it's just so damn adorable that it can charm all of the more efficient hunting Pokémon to go get food for it. Haven't designed its prevo Cubly yet, but I'll get to it.


Posted Image
:water: :fire:

Have I seriously not posted this anywhere yet? Huh, I suppose not. Anyway, giant tube worm Pokémon called Ventorm, my take on the coveted "Water/Fire-type that is actually semi-logical". More dragonish and serpentine than a real giant tube worm, but real giant tube worms, while awesome for their extreme hardiness, are generally boring. Also real ones can't breathe fire. I love this guy.


Posted Image
:normal:

My most recent one (colored, anyway, I drew it months ago). As part of one of my region projects I decided to give evolutions to all of those poor, unloved early rats/cute normals/Rattata-thingers/whatever, and this is Raticate's evo, Ratiking (based loosely on a rat king). I like how this one turned out, too. It looked really crappy while I was actually coloring it in, but now that I step back and look at the finished product I find that I'm rather fond of the pestilent little vermin.



Busy with a lot of stuff, but hopefully I'll get around to drawing some more OI/Amaya Pokémon so that my new pink name isn't a waste of TX's time.

Thanks, guys! I'm glad Arctangels ubercuteness came across well. I was worried it wasn't sickeningly adorable enough. Not really sure what's going on with the tail, though, IB. I mean, I know I did that intentionally, but for the life of me I cannot remember what those intentions were and whatever they were I'm sort of regretting them. :/ Oh, well, too lazy to fix it anytime soon.

And sorry to distract you, Dahlia (although I guess that's a pretty nice compliment!)... I know how that goes, though. I do that to myself whenever I find an interesting webcomic at two in the morning >>;

:fighting: :flying:

...at least, I think it's fighting. Could be anything, really. Still have to decide what the real one is before I can finalize the simulated one.

Anyway, this is Simaruda. He's not part of one of my usual regions, but rather a part of... a different project, shall we say. Technically it isn't the real Simaruda; the real one supposedly appeared to a man hundreds of years ago and inspired him, and now centuries later that man's descendant has created this "synthetic Simaruda" as an homage to the original and as the protector and mascot of his private region. There's still a few bugs in it and it is as yet untested, but the guy is mighty proud of it and its copious amounts of badassery.

SUBMARINES ARE FUN!

YOu know where i've been? Dead. THat's where. I died after seeing that epicness. THE CONCEPT IS FANTASTIC. So it was created and... Wow. I can picture some dark room, everyone has gone home for the day. The room is metal, and the only thing that lights it up is an eerie glow from a huge tube. A man stands there, looking up into the tube. The tube is almost as high as the ceiling, which itself is at least 15 metres. The guy turns away and begins to leave, as he closes the door of the lab, the beast within the tube opens its eyes...

:3 Love it... I wanna see the real one now, and i know what th story would be if it was me. This one goes all crazy and the real one appears to save the region from the fakes destruction. But that's me. YOu probably have an epic story to go with them.

That sort of thing is a possibility, and now I think about it something like that might just have a place in a later part of the story, but he's got other jobs to do for now. :P Glad you like it.

New arts. Probably won't be any more for a bit, though (except maybe the water starters that go with these guys if I can figure out how to work with them), lots to do, lots to do.

Asgolan, the final-stage fire strater. It's supposed to be an elf, durr, and it's been through about five million redesigns ever since I came up with it, like, 5-7 years ago or whenever it was because it always looks too damn human. :/ I think it's the nose and the hair--most humanoid Pokémon don't have hair, and none of them have anything resembling a nose short of maybe two slitted nostrils--but it looks dumb without them. Alas, I guess this is the best it will get. I like it, anyway.

Bumpity-bump-buuump. Gonna put the ones I posted back on PKMNDex here, ho-hum. Won't bother reposting the old ones, though, since now they're all in the same thread and you can just go look for 'em if you want to see 'em that badly.

:grass: :flying:

Gowatu, a cute little chicky based on a bird called a turaco. Turacos and their relatives, the go-away birds, are really really noisy when they want to be, and Gowatu and its as-yet-undesigned evo are no exception: they scream and shriek and rattle their grassy feathers and generally make a pretty big noise for pretty small birds. I even gave them poor, unloved Cacophony as an ability, lol. (why the heck did they take out Cacophony, I mean, really... it fits the Whismur line so much better than Soundproof, and it's not like there aren't any other clone abilities in existence >>;)

Posted Image
:normal: :flying:

Auriole, the Pidgey thinger of my main region and the basic stage of the desperately-in-need-of-a-revamp Icauriole that should be on the first page.

Posted Image
:grass:

The grass starter of a different region and the basic stage of that sexy Mandragoon a little ways up *points*. The lineart looks kind of chalky, I know, but this was lineart I drew maybe five or more years ago before I knew it was a bad idea to draw small, and I'm too lazy to actually redraw it anytime in the near future when there are plenty of other things that look a hell of a lot worse. :/ (hey Tedigrae line and Hisalion I'm looking at you)

Posted Image
:grass: :flying:

Flytragoon, Tulisard's evo and Mandragoon's prevo. Don't remember whether or not I posted him before but oh, well, here he is again. This lineart is also several years old, fyi, but it just happens to have been larger as luck would have it.

Posted Image
:fire:

Fire starter adorable elf thing named Telerond, lalalala. Ends up as Asgolan, which is in the same post as Mandragoon if you want to go see it again.

Posted Image
:fire: :psychic:

Halray, intermediate stage between Telerond and Asgolan.

Posted Image
:water:

And the newest of the bunch (maybe a month old by now but still comparatively new), Finolt, the water starter. The Finolt and Telerond lines have probably gone through a hundred different redesigns over the years, but I think I've finally found some I like.

Posted Image
:water:

Hisalion, a.k.a. Finolt's evolution and the fugliest piece of art I've ever showed you guys; crit and comment on anything else I've posted all you like, but please don't bother critiquing this because I am fully aware of how hideous it is and how it needs to be brutally murdered with a Revamp Chainsaw, kthx. I only went ahead with actually finishing the picture because I was feeling impatient and just wanted to bang out the design, which I really like. I'll redraw it later so that the pretty design has a proper concept pic with significantly reduced amounts of fugly.

Posted Image
:water:

Final stage water starter, Takhampos, who thankfully is gorgeous like Finolt and not eye-bleedingly fugly like Hisalion. Takhampos and its prevos are based on the campchurch, the lesser-known cousin of the hippocampus--also "sea horses", but with four finned horse legs instead of two horse legs and a fish tail. Mm, obscure fantastical creatures. The breakfast of champions.

Posted Image
:fire: :dragon:

Torranel, a sexy rare Pokémon designed because I felt like the world needed more non-grass, non-Groudon Sunny Day abusers that were actually semi-decent. They collect sunlight in their sails and then go into overdrive and kill everything, either with a base 120 special attack augmented by Solar Power, or with a base 120 special attack tossed around by something with up to 568 calculated speed after Solar Boost (Chlorophyll clone since the effect is perfect but Torranel is clearly not a plant ><). Giant terrifying sunnybeaming dragon rawr.


Will bring back Dustley and Aculago (Dustleeeey :3) later, as well as a few others I managed to forget. Hurr. But before I go, I will proceed to blow your minds with some contest entries that are *le gasp* not Phoenixsongmori art! Whaaat, I draw pokeymans that are not sugified? Shock! Horror!

Viva la Lyrebird!

Absolutely adore Torranel...
Hisalion is not bad at all, in my book.

The only thing I think may need a bit of work is the progression of the tails in the grass starter, the one that finishes as Mandragoon.

See it goes from a closed rose, to a flytrap, to a long thorny vine.
Bulbasaur goes from bulb, to unopened flower, to opened flower.

In other words, I think progression should follow suit. i.e. bulb, unopened flower, flower...or clsoed bulb, flytrap, multiple flytraps...or tail with bumps, tail with a few thorns, and tail with lots of thorns.

That's it.

The thing about the Tulisard line is that the plant part isn't supposed to be what progresses gradually--they're intentionally three different types of tricksy plants because I had three different ideas and wanted to put them together. The general idea of their behavior is the same (which, admittedly, you wouldn't know because I didn't post it here), but they accomplish it in progressively more aggressive ways. Cohesion in the tails isn't what I was going for.

Thanks for the feedback, though.

Novoni: Yes, yes, rockstar Farfetch'd. Actually I was thinking a little more along the lines of calypso when I first designed him, but I'm sure Rapscalion is versatile enough to drum out any beat. XD And I'm glad you think the elves work. Five years the little suckers have plagued me... five long, hard years... argh, humanoid Pokémon are so hard to work with, I totally agree with you there.

Pikang: Milotic? I don't know what you're talking about. XP Nah, I just used the off-white because that's what color giant tube worms are. It's not my fault that Milotic stole their colors.

Roxas: Thanks! Which fire starters do you mean, by the way? The hyenas or the elves?

And so now I bring to you Pokémon that are even more out of left field than rockstar Farfetch'd (drum soloooooo), flaming elves, hallucinogenic tree cows and water bear bears:

:ground:

Lamlie! If it looks like a Mareep (from a distance, anyway, that's all that matters), is fluffy like a Mareep and is adorable like a Mareep... you should probably double-check anyway, because by the time you let it creep close enough for you to get a good look at it it might just be snacking on your Mareep.

...it also looks like a bee, but shhhhh who cares bee wolf lambs are still cute.

Posted Image
:ground:

...and Lobovo looks like a Chinese Crested dog, but it isn't my fault Flaaffy has such a ridiculous color scheme/design. Naked pink rubber Q-tip sheep what. They're cute and all but they deserve to be deceived and eaten for forcing such an awkward design on poor Lobovo >|

Posted Image
:ground: :fighting:

And the final stage, Luvaris, is designed to look like Ramfere, my fake Flaaffy evolution posted somewhere around the first page (in the event that any of you haven't seen it). When it's on all fours, of course. I know they don't look like Ground-types, but then if they looked like Ground-types then they wouldn't look like Electric-types, would they? And what self-respecting Mareep, Flaaffy or Ramfere doesn't look like an Electric-type? But yeah, I made them Ground so they wouldn't meet death by Thunderbolt every time they went sheepy hunting (and Luvaris is Fighting to trump Ramfere's Dark-type).



Last ones for a little bit, as I'm not sure when I'll have time to work on any more.

If it looks "devil-like" then I guess Ramfere does, too. It's just supposed to look like Ramfere. *shrug*

Ha I like that. The Marrep dogs that is. The idea is fantastic, real live animals tend to look like their prey or like predators to confuse animals, why shouldn't Pokémon?

I've never seen anything like those, so kudos to you, not only are you great your original too.

Lamlie line is pretty awesome. I really like Lamlie and Lobovo's poses!

Why don't you make an alt-evo for Lobovo for Ampharos?

Let's see if I can praise you without going "Like O-M-GEE! I Love your stuff!!"

Anyways, these are probably the best fakemon I've ever seen. No joke. Your shading is as close to perfect as I've seen. It looks very clean and I love the highlights. Shading is very hard for me to do and is one of the reasons that prevents my art from being anything above OK, but you pull it off great. Tips? Your concepts are creative and actually resemble their base (unlike some of the crap I've seen from Nintendo namely Poochyena, which does NOT resemble a hyena), but still have their own flair to them that makes them stand out. I also like the poses. They're exciting and I have yet to see a Pokémon that is merely sitting their, which helps show your pokemons personality and body shape. There also seems to be something in some of your art that makes them feirce without preventing them from looking like a Pokémon, which is amazing.

The only form of critisism I can offer is that some of your typings are confusing. Ramfere honestly looks Dark. I doesn't seem bulky enough of human-y enough to be fighting. Ratiking seems to Dark to be Normal. Normals are very bland and have tanish colors (usually). Lamlie and its evolutions look Electric. I get what your trying to do, but its a tough sell. Perhaps you could make it electric and give it Volt Absorb or Lightningrod?

Well, I'm done talking. Keep it up. Can't wait to see what new ideas pop out of your head. I'm also interested in any tips you can give to a rookie about shading and posings. What program do you use?

First of all, blanket thank you to everyone.

IB: Eh, yeah, I've thought about it. The problem is that Ampharos isn't a sheep, and a "wolf in dragon-lighthouse-thing's clothing" just doesn't have the same ring to it, I'm afraid. Furthermore, this particular region's Pokédex is currently more or less finished, and I'm not sure I'd want to take something else out at the time. Still, if I can find a way to sort of make it work, I might try it for fun or something, I dunno.

Flygon: Wow, thanks for the detailed comments! I really appreciate it, and I'm glad you find most of the designs so effective.

As for the typings, yeah, I can see where you're coming from. First of all, to clarify, I hadn't definitely decided on Fighting for Ramgere, and have since settle on making it Dark after all. The thing is, though, that decision had very little to do with its design; it was just a concept idea I came up with after the fact. The Fighting-type idea was actually just as much of an afterthought as Dark, because I'm pretty sure I'd intended it to be straight Electric when I first drew it. But then it occurred to me that there aren't any Electric/Fighting-types, and I figured that, given how naturally strong and aggressive rams are supposed to be, I could translate that into Fighting. In the end it didn't work out that way, and as I said I came up with a "use" for the Dark-type that I liked, but that was the idea.

Ratiking, well. It does have the tan belly to tie it in, and that's really as far as it could go. To me it just wouldn't look like an intimidating rat king if it were "tan and bland", as you put it; besides, Rattata is purple, so at least one member of the line doesn't adhere to the color scheme anyway. Had I made, say, a Clefairy evolution that was black and not Dark-type then it might have been different, but if the mold's already broken then I have a little more wiggle room. The idea behind the Raticate evolution, as well as the evolutions for the other four Rattata-like lines, was really just to take the same Pokémon and improve them statistically so that they weren't the sorry little laughingstocks of the Pokémon world any longer. Raticate is Normal-type, so "Raticate 2.0" will also be Normal-type.

And while I agree that the Lamlie line might also work as Electric, I simply can't do that. There are already 17 Electric-types in this particular region as it is, which is a lot for that particular type, while there are only 12 or so Ground-types including these guys. I didn't want any type for this particular region to have fewer than 10 or so representatives, so I'm afraid that changing their type is out of the question. Which is a shame, because Motor Drive would be a great ability for these guys and I can't think of one to give them otherwise that isn't a complete cop-out, but they *do* still work to a degree as Ground-types and so they're going to have to stay that way.

You're right, ideally a Pokémon's design should work clearly with its stats, typing, all of that, but it just doesn't always turn out that way. Since I generally create Pokémon with entire regions in mind, I can't just make up whatever and include it in that region; there are certain "quotas", if you will, that have to be filled out before I feel like everything is properly balanced. And if the best design I end up coming up with (because trust me, I do try several for most Pokémon *stabs Asgolan*) doesn't obviously match the typing, well, that's unfortunate, I guess. But if Nintendo can see fit to do it (Mawile doesn't look like a Steel-type, Gligar and Gliscor don't look like Ground-types, etc.; I can only imagine that they chose those typings based purely on some intended purpose, because otherwise why not just make Gligar a Poison-type?), then as long as I don't go sticking flames on a Water-type then it's just going to end up looking however I feel looks best, and hopefully the idea will work just as well for others with a tiny bit of extra imagination. I do try to keep things consistent where I can, but not to the point of compromising what I feel looks and works best for me. Hopefully that explains the method behind my occasional madness.

I draw and ink the lineart by hand, scan it and then do all of my coloring and shading in Photoshop 7.0. I'm really not doing anything special, though, so it's not program-specific; any decent art program that supports layers could produce an identical result, I'm sure. As for tips, eh... I dunno. If you're interested in the Sugimori style specifically I can point you in the direction of a few tutorials; really, just looking at those, studying Sugimori's artwork itself and practicing, that's all I've been doing.

Ah, Zangoose and Seviper. The Pokémon embodiment of the eternal, natural rivalry between the mongoose and the snake, represented by two oddly-patterned but undeniably badass-looking pocket monsters. So many fakemon creators find them badass and interesting that they all want to find ways to weasel them into their regions along with even more badass and interesting evolutions. And so they do--bigger mongooses and bigger snakes battle it out from fakedex to fakedex.

Now, bigger mongooses and bigger snakes are great and all, but what does this conflict really all boil down to in the end? A big, angry fluffy mammal and a big, angry rather lengthy reptile attempting to murder one another all the time. Hm... you know, when you word it that way, I think I've seen that somewhere else before...



Posted ImagePosted Image
:poison: - :normal:



Oh, yeah! Tigers and dragons! :D

Zanthera and Seviron, New Logora's answer to all the big mongooses and big snakes out there. After doing a little trading shuffle with some special items, you get these adorable, sociable little kittehs and dagroms. Don't they look so happy to see one another? Awww, best friendies.

Oh, and you can't really see it clearly from these angles but Zanthera has a "T" for tiger on its back and Seviron has a "D" for dragon on its... neck-chest-under-the-head-area, to go with the "M" and "S" on Zangoose and Seviper. Durhurr. These are some more designs that took forever to get right, by the way. Ugh. But they turned out all sparkly in the end, especially Seviron. Seviron is pretty. :3

There is, in fact, another potential spin to put on the Zangoose/Seviper rivalry that no one else seems to have thought of, but that's another region and another pair of prettypics for another day. ;)

Ah, whoops, I assumed everyone would know. Yeah, dragons and tigers are rivals/enemies/blah in Chinese mythology. Like... here you go.

I know I said "no more art for a while" and then the sheepwolves and all happened, but now there's actually something wrong with my scanner and so it's likely that there won't be any new art for a good while unless I can fix it or find an alternative in the near future. When I scanned the lineart for Zanthera and Seviron I scanned five or so other fakemon with them and so can work on those, but anything else I draw after that... meh. Which is a shame, because I was working on a special surprise and now it'll be forever before I can show you all. D:

*Reads through entire post only looking at pics.* Omg these are so awesome, i wet myself. Not really. But these are awesome. If i have to be honest, i dont really like the fire elf line, i mean the most humanoid ones i can think of are probably the machop line and mr mime and his son.

The bullthorn Pokémon thing whos name i cannot remember because it is so epic would definitely be on my dream team, along with the fully evolved water horse type thing. Its prevo isnt that bad, you can never have too many fins, unless your not drawing a fish >-<.
I have some drawings of a small dragon line i was doing, with the final evo being Lethagon ot Lethaligon. Must have... moar ... pix!

Scanner is still dead (although I should be getting a new one soon), but I managed to use the school scanner for this li'l piccu right hurr. Needed scanning rather urgently and all as it's a contest entry (the same "King's Rock" contest that Ricee and TaintedICE entered, actually). It's not Sugi art or the lineart I still haven't colored or the surprise I mentioned, but it's something?

Ahhhh... It's so beautiful Phoenixsong. Although, are those ears or horns on Shikaizar (Who happens to be oh so epic!)?

A'right, so! New scanner, internet is fixed, moar pickchers!

:fire:

Finally got around to the Sugi version of Shikaizar. Slight design changes and took the ghost type off of it; I wanted it to be Fire/Ghost but I didn't like any of the designs I came up with, so when I entered it into the contest I used the not-very-ghostly design and just said it was a ghost anyway because I figured the judges wouldn't care. (They didn't, lol.) But now that I lost the second round and don't have to worry about the contest anymore I can focus on the version of Shikaizar that will actually go into New Logora, so ghost-type go bye-bye (it'll probably still keep a few moves, though).

Posted Image
:fire:

Kitsami, an alternate Vulpix evo to go with the alternate Growlithe evo, alalala. Based on the amagitsune, an elevated type of kitsune. Halfway through drawing it I realized that drawing those hellish tails would be easier if I made them detached and will-o-wispy; gives it a "spiritual" look and means that I don't have to struggle with connecting them to Kitsami's ass and that they don't have to be perfectly uniform. So it has one normal tail and eight cop-out tails. Halfway through coloring it I realized that it looked like the demon spawn of Amaterasu from Okami (still haven't played that, need to reeeent) and Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia, but oh, well. Ammy is supposed to be awesome and Zelos kicks ass, so it's not like it's a bad thing.

:water: :poison:

If you'll look somewhere around page 2 or 3 you'll see the original sketch version of this, which I finally got around to retracing, inking and coloring while my internet was MIA last week. Its name is Kraitra and it is a three-headed sea krait of awesome.

Posted Image
:water:

Tedigrae revamp/redesign! OMG DRASTIC IMPROVEMENT! And now I don't loathe this Pokémon anymore! Next I need to redraw its evolutions, which are not ugly and don't need re-designing but could probably be drawn and colored better. (And Hisalion. And Crocoal. And Feucrota. Ugh.)

Posted Image
:electric: :flying:

Humbuzz, a fun little hummingbird Pokémon that evolves into what is essentially a special Ninjask. I haven't finalized the dex entry and all that, but I am pretty sure that Humbuzz and its evolution flit around power lines and drain the electricity out of the wires. :O

Posted Image
:electric: :flying:

Klaitning, Humbuzz's evolution. And I guess I already said most of what needed saying in Humbuzz's description, so :I



And a link to a special little non-Sugi for those of you who haven't seen my post in the HGSS thread: You Will Never Look at Tyranitar the Same Way Again

A few more new Phoenixmon and the surprises coming soooon~ Oh, and before I forget I'm going to take a moment to pimp that big, superdelicious link in my sig. It's a project I could really use some help with, so please... if you've got a little time for a puzzle, give it a look and let me know what you think.
