Oh look, even more pixel art.

From the Norrvalo region, we have the Grass/Electric Levinome and Arbithunder!

*dusts off art blog*

It's been 3,000 years since I posted something, and probably even longer since I've posted pixel art, if I ever did on tumblr – but since I've gotten into an absolute whirl of those in the last few days, good an opportunity as any - especially since what started this whirl was this art blog's namesake!

So here's the Grass/Crystal-type "pseudo-legendary" Pokémon line of the Miato region: Wisprite, Wispear and Wisteriark! Largely styled after Gen 5 sprites, with the little menu sprite harking to Gen 8's instead.

Been a bit busy lately, but here's a token I made for my latest D&D character, Samsara.

She's a Yuan-ti swarmkeeper ranger, and her swarm spirits (not portrayed) can be vaguely described as some kind of Off-Brand Zygarde Cells. (Ayy snakey lady [off- off- off- off- off-brand Zygarde cells!)

Another daft thing dug out of the archive and given a splash of colour.

Cold and cruel and (emblem) Heartless.

[wisteriark]

Today I pulled this out of mothballs and gave it a splash of colour.

Detective Mimikyu, because why not.

[wisteriark]

I seem to have actually drawn something! Just a sketch, midn, but with how this damned year's been going, it feels like an achievement.

Some kind of sheep-dragon I guess. Bah. BAAAAH, I say!

[wisteriark]

"E're's what I wanna know. just who is dis Miss Terry and why does she keep leavin' her rootin' dungeons around?!"

[wisteriark]

Oh no, not again

So, uh. I turned FFXIV’s take on Carbuncle, everyone’s favorite bootleg Eevee, into a proper fanmade Pokémon with a statblock and everything.

In an attempt to differentiate between the various elemental forms as more than basic colourswaps I worked a bit of their Primal counterparts into the designs. More under the cut!

Carbright Ruby Light Pokémon

Ability: Arcane Geometry This Pokemon's form changes based on the gemstone it holds.

Type: Fairy Emerald Form (holding Arcane Emerald): Fairy/Flying Topaz Form (holding Arcane Topaz): Fairy/Ground Ruby Form (holding Arcane Ruby): Fairy/Fire Demiwyrm Form (Activated by using Dreadwyrm Trance): Fairy/Dragon

Base Stats: HP: 80 Attack: 40 Defense: 80 Special Attack: 110 Special Defense: 90 Speed: 105 Total: 505

Base Stats (Demiwyrm Form) HP: 80 Attack: 40 Defense: 80 Special Attack: 125 Special Defense: 90 Speed: 120 Total: 535

Moves: 1 Pound 1 Tail Whip 5 Flash 7 Fairy Wind 14 Reflect 14 Light Screen 18 Wide Guard 25 Power Gem 30 Dazzling Gleam 36 Gemshine 42 Heal Pulse 46 Tri-Attack 50 Flash Cannon 54 Mirror Coat 60 Dreadwyrm Trance

Learned by TM (Current to Gen 9):

Take Down, Charm, Agility, Mud-Slap, Protect, Confuse Ray, Disarming Voice, Facade, Hex, Swift, Endure, Sleep Talk, Reflect, Light Screen, Dazzling Gleam, Rest, Flash Cannon, Power Gem, Substitute, Will-O-Wisp, Tera Blast

New Moves

Note: These moves can only be successfully used by Carbright (or a Pokémon that has transformed into Carbright), and will fail otherwise (including attempts to call them using other moves such as Assist).

Gemshine Type: Fairy Category: Special PP: 10 Power: 60 Accuracy: 100 Gemshine deals damage. The type, power and secondary effects of this move change based on the gemstone held: Holding Arcane Emerald: Gemshine becomes Flying-type, Power 35, traps the target for 3-5 turns, inflicting 1/6 of the target's maximum HP at the end of each turn. Holding Arcane Topaz: Gemshine becomes Ground-type, Power 45, hits two times, with the second hit having an increased critical hit rate. Holding Arcane Ruby: Gemshine becomes Fire-type, Power 120. Lays down a barrier and charges up for one turn, then releases an attack and drops the barrier on the next. The barrier functions similarly to the one set by Aurora Veil. In Demiwyrm Form: Gemshine's base power is boosted to 100, it has no secondary effect, and its type is determined by the gemstone held by the Pokemon. If not holding a gemstone, its type is Fairy.

Dreadwyrm Trance Type: Dragon Category: Status PP: 5 Accuracy: - Dreadwyrm Trance changes Carbright's form to Demiwyrm Form for 5 turns. When in Demiwyrm Form, Dreadwyrm Trance is replaced with Dreadflare until Dreadflare is used or until the transformation expires.

Dreadflare Type: Dragon Category: Special PP: 5 (shares PP with Dreadwyrm Trance) Power: 150 Accuracy: 100

Dreadflare deals damage and ignores type resistances and immunities. Once used, Dreadwyrm Trance ends and Carbright reverts to its previous form.

 Due to some newly-announced fuckery on Redbubble’s behalf, I have shut down my Redbubble store.

The Teepublic one will probably follow soon as Redbubble owns them and I fully expect the same sort of predatory nonsense they’ve implemented to leak into TP as well.

Hardly matters, to be fair, but I figured I’d provide a heads-up anyway.

Update: Surprising exactly no one, TeePublic followed suit and that store’s gone now too.

Charging Beak and Iron Wings, paradox forms of Fearow inspired by an incredibly daft running gag on Pokécharms, which celebrates its 20th anniversary today.

... Yup, I Paradoxified the Shiny Volt-Tackling Fearow. Gods help us all.

[wisteriark]

little more than a doodle of a Lalafell character that has been quietly forming in the back of my head lately.

Her name is Rereza Reza and she is trouble.

[wisteriark]

I almost missed it, but - happy Zangoose Day, I guess!

[wisteriark]

I do hope I'm not too late in jumping on the fanmade Paradox 'mon train!

Tentatively named "Shrouded Talon", a Grass/Dragon past Paradox Breloom.

Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur.

A Digimon line associated with a character of mine: Nebamon (Baby), Viscumon (In-Training), Santalamon (Rookie), Strigamon (Champion) and Azdajamon (Ultimate).

What about the Mega? Watch this space.

Inspired by death’s head hawk moths and FFXIV’s ascian glyphs. This symbol is associated with Ragana, my Way of Mercy Monk D&D 5E character and materializes as a “mask” in front of her face when she channels her monk skills pertaining to healing and necrotic damage.
