>>29033295> can someone please explain to me why people like Type: Null.Well, let's go back a bit. When I was a kid, it didn't take me too long to realize that I liked Normal-types. Lickitung, Snorlax, Kangaskhan, Castform, maybe some others. It was partly because they had such diverse movepools. (How does Lickitung use shit like Ice Beam?) You can see how that's reflected in TN, of course. And it's of a type that I've always liked, so you're off to a good start just in the concept.
Now look at the basics of its design. It's canine - a personal preference that results from how I get along so well with dogs. Second, it has that weird mask thing. I'm not actually sure why I like this; I'm not a fan of shit like huge fangs or tusks. But something about how TN's face is concealed really gets me interested.
Now, the finer details. In particular, look at the way visual noise is distributed across its body. Lots of detail in the front, not so much around the body. Because its chest and shoulders are hidden under its frilly thing, it looks like it's not actually all that muscular - like its power is, in pokémon terms, special instead of physical. (This relates back to how it's a normal-type that learns some weird elemental moves.) A notable exception is the purple thingers on its hind legs, which prevent it from looking like a literal pushover.
And, the colors! First, notice how all the colors are a little grayer and darker than usual. That makes it look less cartoony. Second, the two greens and the blue-and-purple are similar, but clearly not the same. This helps make the entire design feel connected, yet still chimeric.
