Another exercise I did to try and find my drawing style for pokemon, I know I literally just drew marshtomp and mudkip a few days ago, but seeing constant MH gameplay and news I just wanted to try and draw the whole swampert line, mega included, onto the amphibian skeleton model. I realized my preferred style is midway trough the realistic fantasy anatomy in mainline MH, and the cartoony anime style pokemon has... so basically MH stories style lmao.

I mainly used zamtrios and tetranadon as inspiration for the body shapes and pose, and I also got to thinking of how they would fit in a MH styled game: mudkip would be endemic life, so a little support creature you pick up and keep in your inventory until you need help in battle, maybe he can inflict bubbleblight on a monster? Marshtomp would be a low level pack monster, like ludroth or izuchi and swampert would be a big mainzone monster, like a miniboss of an area, I'd say on the intermediate difficulty level.
Mega swampert would be a G-rank, high level monster, you'd start the quest battling a very difficult swampert, then halfway trough it gathers energy from crystals in the enviroment and goes mega, with a partial healt regeneration, ulterior obvious stat boosts and a new moveset.

Going forward MH is going to be a big reference point when I do creature design I'm sure, I just love it so much. Not just with main monsters, it does a great job with smaller creatures like endemic life as well.
