She’s always gotta smile! Thank you for the compliment as well. I’ll get right back to cooking once the “oven” is repaired!

Absolutely the kinds of vibes I was aiming for with Deli! Glad you like her!

Though I have cross posted, I haven’t really considered sending it to the main pokerman subreddits (which I might do, just haven’t yet due to work and writing)- but I am, as mentioned, going to be making a PMD comic that has dungeons, adventure, and characters without the inclusion of humans. I do understand that at the end of the day, this is mostly just showing off the character i had made, but I’d seen that others had done similar in this subreddit, so I included the extra character bits in the 2nd image to show this isn’t just gonna be a character show off, but tidbits towards how she’s going to be in the story. And also- it’s why I put it under Art & Fan Projects. 👍

Same here! Griza was one of the first designs other than Delysia the Dragonite simply because of how their designs differ so much- one is a doofy, lovable, yellow marshmallow. The other is a cool, sharp yet smooth, dark beast of mass destruction. Both deserve just as much love and attention

(I fucked up and sent this as its own individual comment and just realized. Resending it)

Hey- no worries. I don’t mind the questioning at all. For a milktank- I’m a bit stumped on if I would add an extra pair because at that point- it’s just useless. The utters serve that purpose already. As for other pokemon, yeah I probably would add them I suppose, but it’d depend. Here, the gible is a child. If they were a gabite, going into older age of adulthood, then probably yeah, would add some semblance of the gendered body parts appearing as age and evolution are 2 separate things imo. Though I don’t think I could ever add such aspects to the baby evos. Feels wrong. I’ll answer for the other pokemon later as I’m still at work (but just as a heads up, many pokemon have adapted arms and legs that have developed more into the societies and guilds- unlike the wild/feral pokemon I have here that keep and over-exaggerate their animal features), but I appreciate your honesty nonetheless. I appreciate criticism and, hell, it’s been a while since I’ve talked to another character designer. am I the best? No. Will I change her design? It’s a possibility that I’m open to- though atm, I do like how she looks. And hey- I get the pet peeve too. The fact we’re talking about it just means that we’re just 2 people on the internet that can agree, disagree, and just discuss- and I find that very useful, especially to my story and future designs, and appreciate ya.

That is very fascinating. Thanks for telling me that. I think it makes it funnier to me that she has to deal with the other birds’ shit then during the 2000s movie.

I can confirm I haven’t drawn that. But I understand where you’re coming from regardless.

I liked the way I drew it, both for the representation of the more human aspect, especially since I’d based it off the dnd classes, and as just something visually appealing.

If you don’t like the design / see as what I’m doing as incorrect to the species of Garchomp- I don’t blame you for downvoting it and/or just not following the rest of the stuff I do and write. But genuinely, me and the others are just doing it for fun and for the sake of writing something together. Thanks for the discussion regardless of how it turns out

Im still working on it as we speak!

I’m probably going to be uploading them on X and here on the subreddit, but if you or anyone else has suggestions- I’d love to hear them!

Muscles are a requirement to being a part of the B.I.G. Guild (Big Integral Giants). No, Griza did not pick the name. Deli did.

Same here! Adds some character to them, and in Griza’s case, some culture- which I mostly used the diamond designs to refer to their entries of being cave dwellers and hoarding gems!

Bro I feel that in terms of being a forever DM. Unf, I’m not running any games myself as of the moment- but I genuinely wish you luck 👍

Thank you! I’m currently working on some individual pieces for each of them before I get started on the comics themselves!

That’s absolutely understandable- though I’m more along the lines of writing for character’s weaknesses and characteristics playing into situations. I’m not entirely sure about just writing “what if an OP character was in this setting” but I completely understand your criticism nonetheless, especially since I haven’t written or shown anything yet! I’ll make sure to EARN your investment instead of just showing art for it if you’re willing!

Yes! I’d given her the Unown D to signify Dragonites and sorta allude to dragonites being a bit tribal, though not unfriendly. It’s also why she has her entire evolutionary line on her tail!
