>>37823924>The first of those is very likely. The other is very unlikely, considering he's a Korean teenager who wouldn't have access to official concept art.>Be Korean Animator.>Think it would be epic or troll af to leak the next gen fire starter months before the gen is even revealed (effectively one upping the last gen leaks that came a single month after starter reveal).>Use some no name Korean fakemon artist (too young to care about their long term rep) to leak it for you, so that people think it's a fakemon.>Send him HQ art and some sketch pictures for him to post to claim ownership.If it's real I think that explains everything.
Like how the guy doesn't have the original sketches for something he apparently drew and doesn't have the digital file of a large scale character reference sheet he claims he did.
He has different hand writing between his postings and the writing on astro is apparently too good to be translator shit like he claims (according to people who can read JPN. The grass starter Gorilla one apparently is clearly translator trash).
Also explains why there's no Bunny 1 or 2. Most fakemon artist only draw final stages after the first have been revealed or after trying to fool people with a first form.
His tons of fakemon art over the year doesn't touch the quality and creativity of this. He doesn't even bother trying to redraw astro bunny. Every time he tries to "prove" something he ends up showing nothing and comes up with an excuse.
Hell, he says he "found his sketches" and thanks some one post Instagram user ... we know he doesn't physically have the art because we can see that things were drawn between the pictures being taken, leading to the logical thought that this person he thanked sent him pics that they saved from his first Instagram.
Again, regardless if you think its real or not, there's no reason to believe this guy did this art given his inability to replicate this level of artistry or generate proof he did.
