Description
Another entry for 's fakemon design contest.This one is for the Fire/ Grass portion... The idea is much less quality than Volzma's IMO, but I figured I can always use the practice for Sugi-styles, and I need to stretch my imagination sometimes. I also decided that if I'm going to enter a contest, I'm going to enter it all the way.
So this is Barblaze... it's some kind of iguana dragon thing. I don't really know; I was more after a bulky quadrupedal fake based on a) wildfires and b) tree bark. I hope that's clear enough.
Barblaze
The Aftermath Pokemon
Fire/ Grass
Ht: 6' 05"
Wt. 687.2 lbs
Barblaze is a pokemon that brings both destruction and rebirth in its wake; its ponderous size and very potent flames wreak havoc on once peaceful environments, turning them to scarred wastelands. However, after some time, plants grow due to the fertile conditions set before them; these wastelands often grow back more bountiful than before, though often very different in appearance. Many people believe that the end of the world will be an outbreak of Barblaze who will sweep mass destruction across the land and reset humanity; effectively, a new beginning. Barblaze carry with them the calming aroma of smoked wood. Even in modern times, a Barblaze's clean smoke and fires are prized for cooking gourmet food.
I really love how the fire turned out. :]

Yeah I imagine coming up with the right balance of each types' features must've taken a lot of thought, great result though!

Ya, I agree about the creativeness of how you came up with using FIre /Grass type to create such an astounding design that actually makes sense; I praise you for that

You know, there've been all these attempts at logical grass/fire pokΓ©mon, and yet I think this is the first I've seen based on wildfires even though that makes a lot more sense than, say flaming peppers or even the occasional jack-o-lantern. I think this is surprisingly effective myself! I like it. Hope it does well in the contest.

Grass/fire is a hard combo and doesn't really give much to work with; I can really see the peppers and jack-o-lanterns working because the concept of a wildfire is one that's really hard to represent without details seeming to tacky and non meshing. (Ironic: I just thought of a really cool idea: HORSERADISH.) Wildfires really do make more sense (thank you for thinking so ^^), but it's just kind of hard to pull off.
And thank you! I hope at least one of my entries merits me some sort of prize. XD
