More Vivos (+ Some Extra Funsies)

Got yet another batch of drawings for y'all, including some new vivosaur ideas that I'm stoked to share with y'all.

First up we have Jinfryx, a Fire attribute vivosaur based on Jinfengopteyx, the Golden Phoenix. A small relative of Troodon that had the ability to fly. This would be a vivosaur with amazing support potential, both giving off high support effects and also having powerful utility moves to give any allies a much needed boost in battle.

And from some of the best support effects to what may end up having the absolute worst we have Saurax, a Neutral attribute based on the maybe allosaurus or maybe its own fellow, Saurophaganax. I wasn't originally going to add this dinosaur to my list because of how many large carnosaurs the game has already, but I recently found out the bones of this guy are actually heavily radioactive, and I couldn't pass up the idea of a radioactive vivosaur now could I! This guy of course would be able to dish out poison and even infection with its skills, and while the vivosaur itself isn't going to give you radiation sickness just by standing next to it (don't want to be letting a real health hazard into a fair fighting tournament now do we), its support effects sure do make allied vivosaurs feel like that's what it's doing.

BONUS

I'm gonna be starting a secondary series where I take selected Super Evolver vivosaurs and give them personal touchups, while still keeping the core concept of the vivosaur alive. Starting with Bulgon and Marple, two chibi vivosaurs who while cute, I personally think could've been made even better with minor adjustments, in Bulgon's case it was just a case of it trimming away anything that made it distinctly feel Tsintao related (i.e. the crest). So I decided to give it a sharp horn in the touchup in order to evoke the same vibes that the crest did, while also still being different enough from Tsintao for Bulgon to feel like an actual upgrade.

Marple on the other had does a fine enough job of looking like a Plesio Super Evolver, but it's hard to see any of the floral patterns due to its solid yellow colouring, and therefor the design looks a lot more bland that it actually is. That being said I could not resist the urge to turn Marple into a marketable plushie so the little guy did end up getting a bit more of a notable change, with pink flowers and added stiches and orange bits to make it pop a bit more.

Will probably at least draw every single Super Evolver even if some of them don't receive touch-ups, there are a couple like T-Rex Lord, Lugmos and Ryden that I honestly think were basically perfect for the animal they represent, but still look pretty fun, if a but dauting to doodle. As for recolour SEs I'm honestly not sure what to do with them but I'll figure something out eventually.

Bulgon GX! What a weird idea for a Super Reviver. It’s adorable, but I opted to stick with Tsintao, even if Bulgon IS the stronger Vivosaur.

FOSSIL FIGHTERS EARLY MORNING HEADCANONS PART 6 MY TORMENT IS EVERLASTING :D

Radox is one of the worst pet Vivosaurs. It's not their fault, they're rather social! It's just that between their blades and their tendency to spawn copies of themselves when stressed, they can be... destructive.

Bulgon and Hibigon are cute, yes, but they are also incredibly destructive. They like fighting. They are also good at fighting. They wouldn't be good pet vivosaurs even if getting your hands on them was easy.

FossilDig is the second most popular company for Fossil Fighters-related products, second to, of course, the Richmond Foundation.

The Richmond Foundation was originally a more general company known best for Mr. Richmond being an actually decent person.

Mr. Richmond could be a billionaire but instead he decided to be a good person. He is still a multi-millionaire, but he uses that money for good.

Vivosaur Island, and more specifically Vivosaur Town was... kind of an accident.

Richmond did not expect how big Fossil Fighting would be.

And, by extension, as the sole provider of Fossil Fighting gear (at the time), how much money he'd get.

He was even a billionaire for a few days, to his utter horror.

Vivosaur town was largely an effort to put all that money into something productive.

And also to keep people from Doing A Colonialism by encroaching on Digadig land

When Fossil Fighting first became big, he expected to have to go apologize to the Digadigs and promise to steer people away as much as he could.

Instead they just pointed him to an area to the southeast that had no real cultural significance to them on which he could build a city.

Part of Nevada and Nick Nack's jobs is to work with the Digadig tribe to make sure no artifacts are unknowingly stolen. Any artifacts they find are sent through the Digadig tribe for permission before they can go to museums or Nick Nack's collection.

Rivet Ravine is also an area that has very little cultural importance to the Digadig tribe. Handy, since there are so many fossils there.

Most other areas hold at least some significance to the Digadigs, even if that significance was 'DO NOT GO HERE' in the case of Parchment Desert.

The only place that they really mind being encroached on is the deep parts of Knotwood Forest. And by that I mean significantly deeper than the Digadigamid.

Richmond was more than happy to oblige.

The Digadigs are actually remnants of the people Zongazonga ruled over.

Their ancestors knew it was unlikely that enough people would be able to survive the battle against Zongazonga for civilization to rebuild.

So while the hero was battling Zongazonga, the rest of the ancient Caliosteans fled, to either find and warn inhabited lands or settle in uninhabited ones.

Only a few of the fleets survived the storm.

One fleet, by a stroke of luck found an island that was hidden from the world by ancient technology.

This only happened thrice in total before the cloaking field was disabled - the other times being Woolbeard and the boat a younger Dr. Diggins and Mr. Richmond were on.

That first fleet, though, became the Digadigs. They hoped to record the horrors of Caliosteo as a warning. With them they carried two fossils - the skull of a T-Rex and the skull of an Apatosaurus - that they could resurrect if the worst should happen.

When nothing did, they thought they had found peace.

Then came the war between the mountains and sea.

While they were searching for a way to escape this, they came across the wrecked Dinaurian ship.

They found a holotape in it, though they didn't understand much of what was depicted, not knowing the language and all.

This is why one of the carvings that has to be made to reach the Lava Shut-Off Valve is of humanoid figures with dinosaur heads and tails riding on what are, in retrospect, obviously UFOs.

That disaster removed this group's only chance of fighting back against Zongazonga - the dinosaur skulls - and stranded them there for good.

They tried to keep the story of Caliosteo alive as a desperate warning.

Eventually, though, the memories of Caliosteo faded into myth, and were forgotten. All that remained was the fear of the giant dragons that tormented them.

Even so, the warning did, in a way, succeed. Nevada Montecarlo's notes on ancient Digidig language were what allowed Professor Scatterly to translate the Caliosteo Tablets, without which there would have been no chance against Zongazonga's return.

They were not the only fleet that survived though.

A second, much smaller fleet managed to make it to China, where they were met by an immortal sage...

Cowboys Future AU ft. mostly Max

[captainmvf]

Happy Halloween! Do you mind if you share another of your Fossil Fighters AUs?

You are in luck!

Future AU where these two cowboys get married and have a kid. Joe named him after a triceratops species.

I actually have a Halloween sketch I did months ago too:

[captainmvf]

what if joseph wild wild west by will smith had a pokemon

The easy answer is that his ace pokemon would be a slightly feather aerodactyl!

Though I also like to imagine he has a teddiursa that never chose to evolve and is a super powerful support pokemon (who doubles as a therapy pokemon later).

[captainmvf]

So you want some asks? Hmmm... How about your Future Cowboys AU? I've seen from your art that Max really admires his dads so I'd like to know more about what he admires and does with them!

Hi! ^^

This might get a little long but here you go:

From what I've drawn- Yes! Max loves his dads and looks up to them very much! Since Joe Wildwest is still a notable Master Fighter he gets to do some pretty intense vivosaur matches for TV broadcasts and Max loves watching his dad's vivosaurs kick ass and his dad look cool. He even gets to sit in VIP seats during a few tourneys to cheer his dad on. Since Mags has a more quiet job it can be a bit boring at the museums and fossil archives for Max but he loves his dad's cooking! Max's favorite foods have turned out to be hamburgers and stir-fried vegetables and he usually begs for his dad to make calzones and cakes for special occasions (Joe even begs for some other food than takeout and cold sandwiches since he's still a bad cook).

Other ideas I have include:

-Joe and Mags have a heated bed due to health stuff but Max and (later) Chomp get to crawl into the bed when they're uneasy at night due to nightmares or storms or even get to nap during the day when no one is home.

-Joe is usually the one to put Max to bed when he falls asleep elsewhere and even Max likes pretending to be asleep so his dad can carry him safe and securely.

-Although his parents were hesitant to introduce their vivosaurs so early to Max he was very very very persuasive (begging) to see the vivosaur family as soon as he learned how to open his mouth and now both teams are considered very tight babysitters to Max. All of the vivosaurs are very gentle with him and mindful of their size, teeth, and claws. Max likes to rest up against one of a few with some snacks before watching a movie. He likes cuddling up with Mari the Megalo and Davey the Heracules but his favorite playmates are Gwen the Aopteryx and Goliad the Bulgon. Sissy the Coatlus and Denver the Ptera are co-parents to him and Chomp and treat them like their own flapplings when they're out.

-Same sort of goes to the Patrol Team and ex-BB Brigade Executives. They're his babysitters and non-blood-related aunts and uncles and their teams like the lil Wildwest. Max isn't afraid of boneysaurs like the rest of his class and Dina's toothy vivosaurs don't roughhouse too much with him.

-Max loves his dads very much but he never gives them differentiating nicknames to the annoyances of those outside of this family. Since he goes to public school his teachers and classmates would get confused as to which dad he was talking about. (Teacher: "Okay Max, we need to know which of your fathers is picking you up this afternoon." Max, seven years old and doesn't know his dads first names: "You know! Dad!") Joe thought it would have been a good idea to try and teach Max that he was 'Pops' and Mags was 'Daddy' but it didn't stick and the teachers were just confused. Nowadays it's just a matter of tone with how Max says 'Dad'.

-Despite how well-known Joe and his family's last name is, Max doesn't really show off his home life. When he first invites his best friends Zoe and Drake to his house he doesn't get why they're so flabbergast to see all the Master Fighters that come and go and even finally get Max to notice just how famous his family is. This information goes to his head throughout the next few years.

-Max has also inherited Mags's own clumsiness and Joe's hotheaded habits from his younger years so it's a bit of a ride to have to unpack all of that. Both habits combined with a love of dinosaurs and fossil has him running into the nearest dig site and slipping into plenty of mud.

-Chomp was a gift from Joe and Max loves his little buddy with all of his heart and wants to make a full team to fill out his roster once Chomp is a fully grown Tricera. His only problem is that he has hard luck to finding fossils and especially head fossils. Sometimes he whines to his dads to literally throw him a bone but they've held tough to the belief that he should grow into his fossil hunting boots and raising Chomp if he wants to be a good vivosaur fighter one day. This has lead to some tears on Max's end but he's always more glad to get a leg, arm, or body fossil on his own merits. It's going to take him a few good years and a lot of adventures with Chomp and his friends before he gets a full team.

-When Max was little he would get to sit in Mags's lap at his job and watch him inspect fossils.

-Max sees Joe as the defacto vivosaur specialist in the family and always goes to him for vivosaur advice on battling and caring or just to ask curious questions.

-He gets plenty of rides on Denver the Ptera and Sissy the Coatlus but Max prefers flying with Denver since he's smaller. Max wishes he had a flying vivosaur.

-Mags dotes on Max whenever he wants a hug or gets scrapes or bruises. He even likes telling tall tales such as 'I built you out of clay!' to him that Max 100% believes without a second thought until middle school where he has to piece together that he has two dads and is blood-related to them both (fun angst times woohoo).

-Joe also dotes on him but in a more classic Dad way where he carries him with one arm and throws him up into the air to pretend he can fly. There's a lot of piggyback rides and clinging to his legs.
