Replying to this thread Bc I love fakemon and yes it's the best thing we can talk about on here. Anyways.
>>37520343Firstly I wanna say I really like the idea of a non-blue water starter and that makes it pretty appealing on that end although I will agree the saturation is a bit much.
>>37525099 is a huge improvement, especially with the pupils, although I'd agree with another poster who said that fish should be present through the entire design mainly just because the colors are so unconventional it doesn't at first glance communicate a water type. Maybe have a fish biting it on the head in the first stage, on the tail in the second, and thus the last stage represents it actually finally winning against those fish.
>>37523709Kind of confused by the ghost typing here and while the art is competent I don't think it's really a very exciting pokemon, there's really no theme here besides blue heron. If I did a heron water starter I'd probably find some way to reference martial arts and make it water/fighting. As it is it's not really a pokemon I'd pick as a starter if there were more interesting options. Again, good art though.
>>37521044No clue why you're getting this reaction, this picture is great and I've said it before I love the design. One thing I would say though is if it's for a proposed Egyptian region I think it'd be cooler to make it fire/ghost, since it already seems somewhat mummified. Maybe giving it spectral arms instead of physical ones? I guess I've seen you post it before but it is a good design so the reaction is really not warranted.
