I Plan To Make A Fakemon Inspired By Wolfwalkers, Their Humans Who Can Leave Their Bodies And Become
I plan to make a Fakemon inspired by Wolfwalkers, their humans who can leave their bodies and become wolf-like pokemon when they sleep.
How would I design them
Oh, thats a really cool idea!! โก I'm not really one for giving advice on design principles, but I'll try and jot down some thoughts on what I'd do if I were to design that sorta fakemon... :]
Suppose you'd still wanna keep the pokemon-style. In that case, I'd look at some already wolf-ish pokemon as reference -- if you would like for them to be quadrupedal (on four legs) like poochyena or lycanrock, or bipedal (on two legs) like zoroark or lucario? Figure out how human you'd want their pokemon-forms to be! This is also a great place to take inspiration from other sources too; digimon or other media, fantasy creatures, historical depictions of werewolves, mythical wolves in general, etc! You can make them more wolf-like, or try exaggerating some of the features - longer or shorter legs, bodies, extra appendages, ears, tails - whatever you want! Next, I'd go for themes- would you want for them to have a typical sort of full-moon, uncontrolled transformation? Would this show up in their design in any way (scraps of clothing, stretch marks, or more human-like base features)? Or would you rather have it more fluid and magical, like in Wolfwalkers - and how would this relate to their design (swirling patterns like Robyn and Mebh when they use druidic magic, some sort of magical aura, or other magical traits)? You can also go for more common themes like sleep, the moon, plantlife, claws, and eyes, and try to make this something that stands out for your fakemon! - Like if you look at lycanrock's base form, that's very clearly a wolf with rocks. Meanwhile, a pokemon like Musharna doesn't really... seem like a tapir - the animal it's most likely based on - but it very well conveys the aspect of Sleep in its design!
The themes and source material can also influence a lot of your color choices! (warm like the woods in Wolfwalkers, or more cold like the night-sky) Figuring out the limits and how far you can stretch your design while keeping it recognizable is a really fun challenge, and something that doodling could help with! References, feedback and multiple iterations are also a great part of the process!
Anyhows- hope that helps a little, and thank you sm for sending over the question! โก

thought you all might enjoy some older art - the crow father himself, Philza Minecraft!!
i really enjoyed watching his content during the d/qsmp era, though i wasn't too interested in the rest of the lore/happenings/drama surrounding the servers :] should pop by his streams again nowadays, i think..
going for something a little different, but- we'll see who this reaches!
a lil sneak-peek of a google docs im working on! i've been a bit of a hard time trying to find materials in Avatar Frontiers, and the fact that all the maps are half fogged-up on every website kinda annoys me ^^' so i planned on making my own!
every single item will be on the docs, and right now i have almost 70 items on the list! (still gotta do full wiki pages like with the two images on top...)
anyhow! send over a message if you want early access to the docs! โก
most of the pages look like the image on the right- but i think its plenty of info to locate materials! (the rest of the stuff is mostly descriptions/technical info from the hunter's guide)
i am weak for these bastards U_U'

Watched the first ep of the new Hilda season with my bf- as a treat- and I have so many thoughts ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
spoilers under the cut for the 1st ep
First off, I truly wonder how much of a challenge the Pooka was to design for the animators :'D just trying to get all of his shapes right- to keep it consistent, yet still, always, looking like him...
Second, theres something wonky going on with Johanna and Astrid ๐ค the note at the end about Johanna forgetting- and Astrid's awfully convenient little distraction... Somethings up ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ

You're about to close on your very own, suspiciously affordable and comfortable house. Just before you sign the contract, the realtor shows you the required legal disclosure: your new house is haunted by the type of presence you'll get from this spinner wheel.
Of course it is.
