Description Update: Added the stamp for E6 (parts 1 &2) and updated Étoile's status as missing.

Another collab team between my sister & I I did most of the work this time, but Alvern's sketch and the animation to change his forms is by my sis!


TEAM LIBRA
A team inspired by our recent trip to Moosehead Lake, Maine, and Québec City, Quebec (Canada)!

Alvern "Al" or "Vernie" for short, is a mountain mooseling deerling. He's about half again larger than the average deerling, and was bullied about his size (which most pokémon wrote off as Alvern being fat) to the point where he's quite ashamed of it and very self-conscious, as a result he comes off as shy and timid. However, his size (and his moosiness) give Alvern tremendous physical strength; he is able to carry and pull heavy loads (like a draft horse) and charge like, well, a moose. Being moosey also means Vernie is an all-terrain vehicle of a deerling. His Double Kick attack is executed in moose-fashion; lashing out with his two front hooves.
Better view of Alvern's seasonal colors

Étoile A happy-go-lucky little shiny clefairy who can speak Canadian French. Alvern has difficulty pronouncing her name, so he calls her "Stars". She is extremely friendly and somewhat innocent in her demeanor. Unlike Alvern, she has never had any harsh experiences, and so Étoile thinks life is all roses, seeing the positive in everything.
Étoile's Metronome attack is somewhat special in that she has some degree of control on what attack it results in. She treats it like a mental roulette, and can land it on any attack she has witnessed pokémon using. However, she can sometimes miss. When she doesn't focus on landing a specific attack, her Metronome randomizes the attack. If her Metronome happens to land on Metronome, she loses control over it entirely.
The mutation which gives Étoile her color also affected her eyesight, resulting in her being slightly myopic (nearsighted). To compensate for her faulty vision, she uses her ears a lot, twitching them around like a cat.

MOOSELING! Alvern is such a cool idea! He's going to be huge when he evolves. And Etoile is is a very pretty clefairy, she seems very sweet. I can't wait to see more of them in the future!

Yay! Thank you so much!
Yep, we're still discussing exactly how big he'll be, but Alvern will definitely be much larger than the average sawsbuck ^^

Thank you!
Yup, we've actually been to Canada quite a few times- we have family up there (on mom's side)
Yes, we were born in México, but we've traveled a lot. What does being from México have to do with traveling to Canada, though??? :C

I like the Clefairy a lot! There are very few in this group, and that's a shame, because they really are great Pokemon.
Also she has a nice design.

comixqueen In reply to sevvicat [2012-08-11 23:58:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Yep, we'd noticed that there aren't many clefairy. When my sis & I put PMD-e teams together, we intentionally go for the underloved pokémon and avoid the overused ones (the deerling became a special exception once we'd hit the mooseling idea)

Oh gosh! x_x We could have, but then it wouldn't have looked very good! Painting colors and animating do not go well together!
The animated colors were only so we could show all his forms easily.

I Like how you put animation on this! (would have looked better in my opinion if you made the colours blur together and separate into the specific colour, but still, neat idea!!)

comixqueen In reply to Emolg [2012-08-11 23:53:28 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
Eh, blurring the colors would've taken way too long. Besides, we just wanted to avoid having to choose a season for Vernie's look and show all his forms instead. Nothing too fancy.

I Have a program (its called Swish max 4) allows me to import the parts of the comic, then add the text and interactivity for it there, as well as animations, (and if I Upload it in parts I Can make it so that it looks like they are breathing and stuff) X3
