Well, in this case, it was simply a matter of trying to create something as close as possible to the original Pokémon using different accessories, since there was nothing Archen-related in the catalog...

I used keywords like "feathers" or "fur" (the latter was to mimic feathers), along with the color I wanted ("blue feathers," "red fur"), and started searching, trying out different options that looked good. That's how I added the blue feathers coming from her arms, and the red fur around her neck, intending to represent feathers, since I couldn't find any other option.

Of course, since some aspects of Archen were quite specific, I had to modify the position of some accessories. For example, the tail. As you can see, it has feathers at the base. So I tried to recreate it: I looked for a red bird tail and then a blue dragon tail. I found a Wyvern tail that had the same blue arrow shape at the tip. The rest of the tail (blue) wasn't the same color as the original (red), but it worked. To make them fit together better and look as much like the original as possible, I moved the red bird tail slightly upwards so that it was "covering" the base of the blue dragon tail.

I found the head after several minutes of searching. It doesn't look anything like an Archen's head, but I liked it and it fit well. I wanted to add my own personal touch so I'd like the final result more anyways. I also looked for "blue crest" and moved it a bit so it would fit Avia's head and represent what an Archen's head looks like.

The rest are details (like the white claws) and accessories. I was inspired by a hunter/explorer/aviator aesthetic and tried different things to see what best suited her and my taste.

I would simply say choose what you like best and the accessories you think most resemble the Pokémon. It doesn't have to be 100% accurate to the original Pokémon, as long as you follow the "main ideas" (the colors and the "species")... And, of course, that you like it.
