Hi! Cool design! You may already know this,but CAP 30 has two Formes, much like Giratina! Its Base Forme (which we’re calling “30b”) has the ability Stamina, and is built to be equally offensive and defensive, and its Item Forme (“30i”) has the ability Tinted Lens, built to be more offensive. Much like the titles suggest, 30b becomes 30i when holding a new, specific item, which you’ll also be designing. I suggest you take a look around the recent activities on the CAP forums to get acquainted with the process. Also check out the instructions at the top of this thread.My first fakemon.
Neat! the friendly snakes on 30b are a nice touch but I'm not sure that the mildly annoyed snakes on 30i are really working. Maybe if they were hissing or something?I am trying to make the Base form look a little more Flying type and defensive, and the Item form a little more Poison type and offense. I have not settled on any of the design element details, but these sketches give an idea of the sorts of things I plan to do with the designs. I'll almost certainly stick with these general poses, with the Base form leaning back in a more defensive stance and the Item form leaning forward in a more attacking pose. But I want both forms to be thematically similar and of relatively equal design complexity, etc. I plan to start playing with colors soon, because I think color will be critical to expressing the differences, but also tying them together as two forms of the same pokemon species.
:O I really like your artstyleThe main part that I think needs work is the way 30i’s tail connects to the body. I just drew some random round shapes, so I could really use some suggestions on how to make that look better. I also don’t know if I can justify 30i having big conical spikes when 30b has thin spindly spikes? That was what looked good to me, but I don’t think it has much logic to it. Maybe I’m wrong there? Also a bit iffy on 30b's colors, I made them darker so it would look more compressed but I might have to toy around with the palette more. Oh yeah, dunno what the item should be at all. I just made a spiraly slime thing. Suggestions on that would help too!
