recovered from burnout. interestingly wanting to draw up a fakemon again comes in waves

not that im policing it, i just have a ton of work/freelance/personal art in the pipeline. but fakemon/making a fictional world always finds its way

Riding the hype from the Pokemon ZA news revealing the comeback of the first starter I finished a Pokemon game with!

This one a Grass/Ghost type based on oud! Oud scents are rly dark & heavy. I wanted to show just how thick that scent is by making its mega a fragrant spirit coming from the wood

All starters of the Tonbi region 300 years into the future 🥳🌋

Eh just three of them together, running out of what else to say lol what they do is pretty straightforward for your journey! Can't go exploring the world if the water you drink is contaminated

And lastly the water starters! They provide safe drinking water for tribes everywhere.

Drivil goes from a simple weevil, to stickbug, and finally a Saiga antelope 🔫

Apart from color switching is I wanted to try the Digimon route out and make Pokemon that evolve more unexpectedly from where it starter. Since the world and the laws of nature have been messed up it seemed like a good time/era to push how weird/strange animals there could get.

Fire starters! Each of the starters provide something essential for both your journey and the recovery of civilization.

Strobee's line focuses on light and energy, making expeditions much safer especialy when it gets dark.

They came in to help restore once nutrient-deficient land back into shape so plants can thrive.

(typos + edited color and template) OK starting with the grass starters of the Tonbi region 300 years after an apocalypse 🌋

Squinpik is a squid + bag of fertilizer, which slowly gets more botanical features into Squtrient, and ends with some jellyfish inspiration as Nurishmane.

right,

trainer/character sketches

base character - water tribe person - sand tribe person

meiker.io/play/13840/o...

in hindsight maaaybe this one was maybe too ambitious in 2022 lol but it was fun and satisfying to compile. happy Meiker is still up and so is this particular character maker i made with it

yeah i hope so too!!

thanks!

initial direction for the post-apocalypse region that i'm kinda carrying! these would've been the starters – midstage evos become stage 1

zweizard (grass) draklight (fire) and puritar (water)

the 3 starters i have now still carry their 3 main functions

The Other Loyal Three but using the animals from the legendary sannin of naruto – Okicroki, Gunkidori, and Serpendipiti

thank u kind sir! 🫡

unfortunate wide dragalge 😔

walucario from @bromojumbo.bsky.social 's old goofy pokemon evo challenge

an old grass/fire poltchageist variant made from slimming/diet tea + a style exploration. shading was fun but was a bit limiting for me

para sa tiyan na sexy

in the meantime enjoy future raticate and its evolution, eraticate.

things got bad so it had to adapt to dark environments but centuries later it realized it could do better off without sight.

anyway here they are again in a fun new goofy style

in hindsight i took that last attempt too seriously. same plot but now 90% just in it for funsies

balancing personal art, a job, freelancing, life-life, and now dusting off the ol fakemon google sheet is this the type of greed they talked about in the bible
