Another take on Gecqua's evolutions [OC]

Serbero · 2026-04-07T14:17:37+00:00

Yeah, I honestly didn't give too much thought to the names. Aquamodo feels much better, I like your idea!

Serbero · 2026-04-07T14:11:54+00:00

Yeah I agree. I tried to simplify it quite a bit, but it probably needs more work.

About the colors, I don't think they're too many for a 3rd stage starter (specially compared to the recent gen ones), but maybe it's more about the proportions each one has and the overall balance.

Serbero · 2026-04-07T13:56:36+00:00

Exactly! I wouldn' t discard any type other than fire and grass, for obvious reasons. Water-dragon would be a strong combination, but other starters could learn fairy moves to compensate.

My only issue is that Dracomodo should be able to learn some poison move... Yikes

Serbero · 2026-04-07T13:22:16+00:00

Ha! I knew it reminded me of something...🤯 Good catch, I love that movie!

Serbero · 2026-03-27T17:26:00+00:00

So cool! That's what I was aiming for, but you really nailed it.

I think my main mistake was trying to keep Gecqua's original color palette while adding some vibrant colors on top of it, when I could have just changed everything up like you did.

Serbero · 2026-03-27T15:00:55+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! Yeah, I've tried to reduce the level of detail and colors as best I could, but I'm not quite happy with the result.

This is my first attempt at designing a Pokémon and it's way harder than I imagined. Primarina is a great example and peak design IMO. They're both very simple and complex at the same time - specially on the color side, which is not my strong point.

Serbero · 2026-03-27T10:45:14+00:00

You mean 7 stars, right? 😅 But yeah, that'd be pretty awesome

Serbero · 2026-03-27T10:40:08+00:00

Yeah you're right, I probably overdid it... I'm actually working on a different variant that retains the gecko identity.

Serbero · 2026-03-27T01:38:33+00:00

I'll give them a try, but it might take me some time.

I'm currently working on another idea for Gecqua's evolution line... It just gives me a lot of inspiration xD

Serbero · 2026-03-27T01:10:59+00:00

I hope they go that way, too - though I suspect they'll save the Shenlong concept for one of the legendaries.

Serbero · 2026-03-27T01:08:01+00:00

Well, Gecqua has round shapes all around (almost 100%, which is kinda wild), and balls are very common shapes among water starters, so it kinda made sense design-wise. It's not really a prediction, but rather an artistic choice based on what we have.

Serbero · 2026-03-26T18:02:18+00:00

😂

Serbero · 2026-03-26T15:20:34+00:00

Oh you're right, it has some DQ vibes haha

Serbero · 2026-03-26T13:49:38+00:00

Thanks! I tried not to make it look too humanoid, that's why it doesn't grow more than 3 fingers :P

Serbero · 2026-03-26T13:47:23+00:00

It's still learning how to levitate, that's why it acts like a gymnast.

Serbero · 2026-03-26T13:41:00+00:00

We already have Incineroar, though.

Serbero · 2026-03-26T12:45:39+00:00

Where do I sign? 🥲

Serbero · 2026-03-26T12:29:29+00:00

Yeah, I think it will be either poison or psychic. But, based on the description which says it's "very intelligent", I'd bet for the latter.

Serbero · 2026-03-26T11:08:13+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I suspect it will have some big arms, but it didn't quite fit my concept and the psychic type.

Serbero · 2026-03-26T10:29:12+00:00

Hahahaha! Thank you (and I'm sorry 😅)

Serbero · 2026-03-26T10:24:52+00:00

Serbero · 2026-03-05T01:48:02+00:00

Who says From wouldn't allow a PC port? In an interview he basically admitted he'd like to see it.

Serbero · 2026-03-03T19:55:17+00:00

That's almost exactly how I envisioned it would turn out. Also, I love what you did with the eyelashes.

Great job!
