Took a picture of it given that it's very last minute, but I wanted to enter anyways. :3 Picture quality isn't horrid, thankfully. The bottom corner on the right is cut off, but it's just the blue of the background, and there's nothing of great importance there.

The judging and the winners are posted!
Also, the new Theme for week three is posted!
Good Luck everyone and well done everyone who entered Week Two!
I've had this idea from the start but i'm going to alternate each week between different art styles. On week 1,3 and 5 I will choose a theme that is more cartoon based but on weeks 2 and 4 I will choose a theme that is slightly more realism based. Therefore the contest will try to be fairer to each artist as some art better at realism that cartoon and vice versa.

Can we depict multiple Pokemon, ie the fakemon's whole line, in our entry?

[Elysia]

Wow, I actually did something! Wheeeee~~

Also, would alternate formes for pre-existing Pokemon count as a Fakemon? Ie Shaymin-Sky for Shaymin, or the Therian Formes for the genie trio? (Uh to clarify more, not that I intend to draw Shaymin-Sky or something, but an alternate forme of a Pokemon that doesn't already have one?)

Yeah, that should be fine as it is still fakemon.

I would say that it would need to be a completely different pokemon, sorry. I feel like doing a different form of a pokemon would be too close to week One's theme, which was Mega-Evolutions. Sorry. You could make an evolution of the pokemon though, so the alternate form could be classed as an evolution as long as it looks different enough from the original pokemon which it would evolve from. Hopefully that makes sense.

Galyonx

Dragon/Fairy

Ht: 2'4"

Wt: 9 lbs.

Entry:

Despite its small size, it is capable of incredible special powers that can take down the biggest of foes. The golden ornament on its jaw is worn to intimidate enemies into thinking its bite is worse than its bark.

Spoiler:

To further explain this fella. Most Pokémon of the Fairy type are depicted as cute and fluffy. Not all fairies are such things. Some can be relatively sinister and creepy looking. Combining such a creature with a Dragon? It's going to look a little strange, but still kinda cool. To better explain the epic jaw thing, it's an ornament, because fairies are attracted to shiny objects, while Dragons covet gold and gems. It's safe to say that the ornament it wears is worth quite a lot of money.

Pokedex:This Pokémon is most commonly found flying in the sky above the clouds. Whenever a child is left unattended and is seen by this Pokémon it will land on the ground near the child, and if it gets on, the Alterion will take it far away.

I was thinking of Drifblim while I made the definition. XD

Warcupine hunt in packs and are known to be very vicious Pokemon. The red bands around their body channel the energy of their muscles further into Pure Power.

^the above deleted post was a request asking when the deadline was because I wasn't sure if I was going to make it in time, but I think I made it, so deleted for no double-posting?


First, a joke, courtesy of a thirty-second doodle in the URPG AIM Chats. This is not my actual submission (I understand we only get one?), but Felly made me.

(I was going to design the entire line but ran out of time. The two on the left are pre-evos, but the submission is the Pokemon on the far right which is actually colored and stuff)

Morimaga, the Silkmoth Pokemon. Ghost/Bug. Many believe that the thread wrapped around its body is used to measure the lives of Pokemon. Although it cannot be proven, Morimaga are said to cut these threads when a Pokemon reaches the end of its lifespan.

Background/designer thoughts:

Spoiler:

Never did a Fakemon before. This was really fun!

I went in wanting to do something pertaining to Greek Myth, because that's my standard fallback on things, and also because most of the good Japanese legends have been taken by GameFreak already. I settled on the concept of the Moirai, or the three fates, which are said to spin, measure, and cut the threads of life for mortals. This made the idea of a ghost Fakemon seem pretty cool (and also ghosts are fun to draw and purple is an awesome color), and I settled on Ghost/Bug because I didn't really know what other type is string-related. I based this on silkworm larvae and silkworm moths, if only because spiders are hard to keep track of all of the legs and because I wanted to incorporate the cloaky/wings aspect (the Moirai are depicted as a trio white-robed women). I liked the three-part evolution line because it fit the spinner/measurer/cutter aspect of the three fates, and here we all are.

I also wanted to subvert the typical first-route-weak-bug thing in games. As a kid, I always wanted to use my Caterpie/Butterfree because it was the first Pokemon I ever caught and we were awesome together, but statwise, the first-route bugs really start to fall behind. Here, the first evolution (Clovae, pure-Bug type, and its body is made up of dobbins but its hard to see in the sketch haha) is weak akin to its counterparts (ie Caterpie/Weedle/Wurmple), as is Lachrylis (pure-Bug), the second evolution. However, at a much higher-than-normal level, Lachrylis will evolve into Morimaga, a fairly-fast and heavy-hitting special attacker.

Morimaga is a portmanteau of "Mori" (derived from Moirai, the collective name for the three fates because Atrophly would've been great and fit with the naming scheme but not a moth as well as deriving from the Latin name of the silkworm, Bombyx mori) and "imago," the final stage of insect metamorphoses.

Also, imago is just a really fun word to say.
