#194 (paldea) - #980. Unlike Their Johtonian Cousin, The Clodsire Line Prefers Wet Mud And Bogs To Bathe

Shooting Stars

Took a little break to draw this 👻✨💜💚🖤 it was fun!!!

Your goal should be to get weirder with age and im not kidding. Become that odd estranged extended family member that owns a whacky home wherein a powerful magical item is kept that is the catalyst for the story of a children's adventure novel protagonist

#543 - #544 - #545. As Venipede evolves, its carapace becomes a dull cocoon as its insides liquify, and if anything tries to break it, it'll stab them aggressively until dead. It regains its lustrous carapace after evolving and becomes docile, giving rides to smaller pokémon and humans it meets.

I had a pretty solid idea for scolipede itself: Make it more buggy, reference centipede anatomy, but keep its horse whimsy. I did many study of centipede faces and anatomy to figure out how to place their antennae and ultimate legs (thats what the final pair of legs that look like antennae on the end of centipedes is named!). I wanted to keep some of the horn shapes, and also have the tail look like a false head like it does in many centipedes.

The weird eye shape of these guys is referencing the ocelli of centipedes: forming compound eyes. The spikes are actually referencing a milipede instead of a centipede, Desmoxytes purpurosea, who have big pink spikes. The empty spot is meant to look like a little saddle :) and the difference in color is because i think bright green feels more toxic paired with red than the greyish purple the canon one has.

venipede was easy, adapting the canon simplicity and then just adding some centipede anatomy like the antennae below the carapace.

whirlipede however, was pretty annoying. I didnt know what to do with it! i didnt want to just make a wheel but didnt want for it to just look like a venipede curled up. i decided to go the cocoon route: the carapace is protecting the goo inside. centipede dont go through cocoon phases but shhh. made it dull to keep its unique color from the rest of the line that the canon one has.

trying ink medium (someone give me tips🥲)

heart shaped

"The sun sets on this side of my mind" I just finished watching the Bridon Arc of Link Click and my heart is broken 😭

So here is an obligatory fanart of these tortured souls. Now excuse me while I go cry in a corner...

Everyone’s doing Owl House Witchsona’s so here’s my hat in the ring; She lives out in the woods and is known for her strange but effective healing methods. She was on the Healer’s track in school but really wanted to study both healing and beast taming along with plant magic but never got the opportunity so she stuck with healing since it was a “safe” track. But once she got into the field she wasn’t happy and refused to join a coven and retreated into the deep woods to study the magic she wanted. Her Palismen is named Flurry and is a seaslug/cat mix.

She’s pretty grumpy but will lend her help if you need it, right now she’s trying to help a young witch over come his own curse.
