Description
... ok.. this time I was curious what they look like under it all.. Completed drawing took about 10 minutes to do, providing scientific description.. about 2 hours. :/Just as in the Gallade [link] , Gardevoir have a widened sternum which supports a blade like protrusion, only not as sharply angled and serves as a sort of Psychical tuning extension of their bodies. The horn's casing serves as a protective casing for their psychic sensory clusters which are linked to their hearts. From the lower portions of their rib cages, are small extensions from which the long flowing "dresses" trademark to the Gardevoir, are loosely anchored to.
As Gardevoir are 50/50 Male and Female, the hip bones are much more homologous between the sexes of Gardevoir as apposed to the highly dimorphic hip bones exclusive to the Gallade. Overall, Gardevoir have a more slender build.
Since Gardevoir also support their weight on their Psycho kinetic abilities, the structure of the legs bones and muscle mass are in contrast to that of Gallade. As such, this has resulted in less pressure exerted on the feet leading to the metatarsals and phalanges to become somewhat fixed together due to the diminished usage of needing them for balance. This has led to a prominent point much like that found in the pre-evolution, Kirlia.

Yeah, I don't think it's even supposed to be hair, I always thought it was a helmet

Of course it's hair! PokΓ©mon often have clothing like apendages

Were you expecting a cute pokemon?
Too bad! It's a spooky skeleton!

I dunno about those protrusions on the side where the "hair" (or possible actually hair) would go - I ain't ever seen a bony protrusion given jigglebones. (In X/Y, the hair actually has jigglebones)

those hanging segments were meant to be more of a gimmick to allude to that part of their "hair" that loops down to their shoulders. the actual hair was meant to drape further down that protrusion (which is why i've drawn it out fairly short) so it would be able to move about with movement, sort of like a tail, possibly made of cartilage too.. well, of course, this was drawn out years before X/Y.

Wow, hats quite intresting! Thats just totally F*ing Sick!! Love it!

Cool I love your detailed Anatomical descriptions,

I mean that as a compliment, XP

...now I'm kind of creeped out...
BUT THIS IS AWESOME!
I like it. Fave! Going to go check out the Gallade now. Gr8 job!

Your anatomy is same how the humanoids, is very strange how changed your evolution and the adaptation. And to think that their ears were facial peaks.

10 MINUTES!? holy shit i think i found a new artist hero.

why thank you :3 i haven't been drawing anything recently tho.. but when inspiration strikes, it just has to be made.

I really like the image, and the description, but I agree with ZeroDevil on the flexing thing, though cartilage doesn't contain bloodvessels... personally I think I would have made the chest protrusion almost nose like, hollow with bone and/or cartilage protecting it, but containing the tissues needed to hone the psychic powers... but you know that's personal preferance.
Question though, why do the sensory clusters link to the heart? Wouldn't they run through the ribcage to the spinal column.

first off, thanks for some nice feed constructive feedback. Gardevoirs are called the "Embrace" PKMN Where Ralts and Kirlia are the Feeling and emotion PKMN and there "horns" are on their heads, it seems they are connected to their minds, whereas Gardies have them over their hearts. In a more poetic way I suppose, I just saw them being attributed to their "Hearts"

Very nicely done. ^^
Your description makes anatomical sense too, especially the leg structure's description and it's skeletal shape, although the actual "point" on the center of the chest I would expect to be made out of cartilage or some sort of soft tissue (seeing as how it'd have to flex for the breathing and heartbeat).
Anyway, still very nicely done and very believable. ^_^

Hmm....this is pretty interesting I have to say. It's nice to see these kinds of things with fantasy stuff. Gives it more depth and whatnot, and it's pretty detailed in both description and artwork. Never would've though the red gem thingie would be a part of the ribcage (or a bone for that matter!). The more you know~

some guy did this with a pikachu and even betty boop! it was so surreal like this maybe they should add this in art classes?

Hm, I'd expect the blade protrusion to be an organ containing nerve bundles (making a Garde's brain something like a dual-core computer) rather than solid bone.
π: 0 β©: 1
the whole concept was kind of a spoof off of [link] and i made the "blade" with thought in mind about how the Ralts line senses the feelings and emotions of Trainers, so with that i saw the blades as a sort of "psychic radio antenna" to their Hearts. but of course biologicaly speaking, something that intricate would need protection much like how humans have nails at the end of each finger and toe. but that would mean it does house nerve bundles within.
π: 0 β©: 1
True. But I wonder; would the nerve bundle's protective casing be fused into the sternum, or simply wedged into it? I'd suspect the latter -- with the sternum probably diverging and reconnecting below the nerve bundle, almost being an O-shaped formation...
If I could draw, I'd love to take my own stab at some Garde skeletal anatomy.
π: 0 β©: 1
you've got the right idea. I drew the blade interlacing with sternum as to not hinder the rib cage from the motion of breathing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, yes, I just noticed that in your reference, the front and back blades are separate entities. At first, I was thinking that it was one continuous entity -- perhaps integrated into the spine beneath where the two longs connect to the throat...
As I said -- if I could draw, I'd love to try my own attempt.

I sometimes do that with pokemon so I can practice anatomy
π: 0 β©: 0
oh now i know what to say: I want to learn pokemon anatomy too.
π: 0 β©: 0
Sometimes the red stuff of a Gardevoir is drawn at lower place. In this case, how to define the sternum?
Or before that, is the protrusion actually need a bone inside it?

That's what I'm doing too - studying PokΓ©mon anatomy. Great job.

You had some good ideas here, nice work.

Nice,but i don't think she have's bones 4 hairs X'D
π: 0 β©: 2
Depends if you interpret it as hair or extra protection: a thick 'shield' on or over the skull, as a psychic pokΓ©mon their brains are even more valuable than in other creatures, though minorly, since the brain is damn importiant. I'd interpret it as hair, but I do like the idea of a 'crest' or 'shield'.
π: 0 β©: 0
I think so, too. No animals need bones for hairs.

creepy and beatiful at the same time

Awesome!!!!!
This is so cool. Fave!

I had the Idea to draw a skeletal Gardevoir for a while but never got to it because it was to hard for me to do. You did a great job though, Nice work.

This, (and the Gallade,) are some of the most creepy things I have ever seen.
Yet are so awesome.
