Description
PokeddeXY Day 11, Favourite Ground-Type: Flygon!I'm just getting further and further behind with these, haha. But here at long last is Flygon, whipping up a sandstorm! Flygon's such a curious Pokémon, really - its evolutionary chain is so strange! There was honestly a period of time where I didn't realise it was Trapinch's final evolution. Yet again, we see my bias towards thick tails with ornaments and/or stripes, long necks and pudgy bodies with pudgy legs and tiny arms. I swear before PokeddeXY I didn't realise how many of my faves share a body type. Ampharos, Breloom, and now Flygon...

Yeah I understand how Trampinch and Flygon go as far as first and last evoloution, but Vibrava... I'll just say she could've had a bigger connection to Trampinch- they don't look alike at all!

Well, I've since been informed that Flygon's evolutionary line is based on an antlion! It makes a lot more sense to me now, antlions do go through a pretty drastic change from larva to adult. If anything, Flygon starts to feel like the odd one out, haha. But Flygon is so pretty that I can't begrudge it its weird evo chain. c:

Your art is incredible~ I can't help but fall in love with it~
I know you had done some very helpful tutorials, maybe you could do another one?
I would really love to know how you do such wonderful linework~

Aww, thank you so much!! It's funny you should mention that, a linework tutorial is one I've had in the works for a while now. I can't promise it'll be uploaded soon (tutorials often take me forever, I spend too long fussing about the details, haha) but I will definitely get that made and uploaded at some point in the future! c:

Flygon is my favorite Ground Type, too! His attacks are wonderful, as is his design!
I'm very satisfied/happy with the drawing, and the wait has been fulfilled for a great portrayal of Flygon! <3
Wonderful work!

I love the way you add in extra parts on the bodies of the Pokemon you draw, like if the Pokemon was more realistic. What with the claws on the feet, more muscle tone, and the wings looking like they actually have bones in them. Nice work!
Also, I was confused at Trapinch's evolution line when I first saw it as well. But after I looked it up, I learned that it's based on an insect called an antlion. It starts out with big jaws and a big round body (like Trapinch, but less cartoony), then it goes through a complete change after hatching from it's cocoon, and now looks closely similar to a dragonfly.
So that explains why Trapinch becomes a dragon type, while still looking like a bug.

Thank you very much! I have a lot of fun re-interpreting aspects of Pokémon to make them a little more realistic - Flygon's footless feet always kind of bothered me in their toelessness so... xD The wings in particular were a challenge because they're so uniformly diamond-shaped in the official art and I didn't want to lose the rough shape of them in my version.
I didn't actually know that! That makes the whole line make a lot more sense. Now if only someone would explain Remoraid>Octillery, haha! I didn't know they were evo-related for yeeeears.

Cosmic-Turtle In reply to oddsocket [2015-01-05 11:55:26 +0000 UTC]
I imagine it must be a lot of fun. ^^ And I can understand what you mean about the wings, but you honestly pulled it off very well. And, you're welcome!
Haha! I had no idea Remoraid evolved into Octillery for a long time as well, and I'm with you, their evolution is just odd. Back then, I was too young and horrible at video games, so a lot of the gen 2 Pokemon confused the heck out of me. At one point, I actually thought that you had to fuse Flaaffy with a Pikachu in order to get Ampharos. My brothers were joking about that, but being a dumb kid, I believed it for a long time. XP

Wingman2014 [2014-12-20 19:38:48 +0000 UTC]
Oh wow, this is too cool! Ah, I really like how you drew Flygon, his pudgy body/tiny T-rex arms XD I like how you did the lighting for this one, and the wings look really awesome, like a cross between a Pterodactyl and a T-rex almost, y'know? XD I also like how you made the eye kinda inside the red part of the eye, because to me, it usually looks like the eye is on the red part, so it looks cool to see it maybe be surrounded by a red glass thingy, maybe to help it see... kinda like Ampharos' tail, almost XD
Y'know what I just noticed? In all 3 pics of your faves(Ampharos, Breloom, and this one), it looks as if they all have some kind of red glass-looking thing on them, y'know? Like, Ampharos' tail tip has the red glass ball, Breloom looks like its' fingers and toes are glassy and red, and now Flygons' eye is almost the same, y'know? XD I have strange logic, I'm sorry XD
I still think it's super cute, tho!! <3

oddsocket In reply to Wingman2014 [2014-12-23 23:35:28 +0000 UTC]
Thank yoooooou!! Yeah, Flygon eyes seem to be a matter of much stylistic variation. I've seen people draw the red part almost like goggles, I've seen them like bug eyes (which makes more sense than their official artwork, considering their evo chain), eyes ON the red part...I'm fond of the 'goggles' interpretation because I like the idea of them being a protection for their eyes, because of the fact they live in deserts with all the sandstorms and stuff.
Wow, I hadn't noticed that other similarity! Shiny red stuff. Obviously that must be important too! It's bizarre how many things to compare have cropped up with those three!

Wingman2014 In reply to oddsocket [2014-12-24 00:49:47 +0000 UTC]
No problem!! I always thought when I was younger that the eyes were the actual red parts, but recently, probably since about 2011, I'd always start seeing them as kinda like goggles, or something, I never knew why, but it does kinda makes sense, now that ya think about it XD
I never really noticed it, either, until you mentioned favorites XD I do have to say, stuff like that can just be so bizarre, I sometimes just have to stop and think sometimes, and how similar things can be to one another in the term of favorites. Like, if you have one character from one game, then another from another game, and they have these similarities to each other? Same with characters in the same game, there could always be similarities, it's just bizarre sometimes, y'know? XD

Aww, I'm glad you like it! Flygon is a really cool Pokémon, I absolutely agree. I'm surprised I've never drawn it before this time (that I can remember, anyway)! Umbreon is also hella cool. That's lined up for Favourite Eeveelution, if I get that far into PokeddeXY, so hopefully you'll have that one to look forward to! 0u0
