>>58762676This was not my year. Next year will also not be my year. I will probably never have a year again.
Anyways, I am going to post my singular artwork (if you can even call it that) of this year. You will get another one next year. But first, some background on this piece.
I don't think anyone was really expecting what we got for Mega Glimmora. I mean, I like it a lot, but I would have laughed in your face if you told me that Glimmora's petals would be fucking floating around it. I actually don't mind the "DUDE REMEMBER THE PRE-EVO LOL" in the back. What I do mind is the fucking +35 to attack and being 1 point slower than Garchode, 2 points slower than Mega Excadrill, and 4 points slower than Mega Sharpedo. They could deadass have given it +30 to attack instead and put 5 more in speed and it would be THAT much better.
There were two complaints that I saw a lot about Mega Evolution in Pokemon Journeys. The first is that they didn't embellish the transformation as much. The second is that mons no longer had Mega Evolution accessories like AlainZard did in XYZ. Honestly, I find the mechanic of the Mega Stone floating out of Alex's pocket and going to Glimmora while it Megas to be quite weird, so I came up with two concepts. The first is a solid gold bracelet and the second is a gold bead bracelet. I wanted to make them turquoise originally but I didn't like how the color scheme turned out. Now, this then presented a problem, which is the fact that they would need to shrink in order to fit the narrower cone post-Mega Evolution or else they would just fall off. At first I had considered making the solid one some auto-adjusting spandex similar to Alex's Battle Belt that just shrinks itself to fit over whatever pants he's wearing, but then it would no longer be gold. But then occurred to me that I can just have that auto-adjusting spandex as a thread between the beads that shrinks, so I will use the second option.
