This is one of 3 images I'm posting for SkarmorySilver 's 600 Watcher Contest! The contest can be found here ; and the original Eyphanim can be found here . #eyspyredesigncontest

Alright so THIS one was a doozy. I basically did a complete overhaul, where the first two were close enough to the originals, I felt like in order to make this new direction work with Eyphanim, I needed to dissect and reconstruct the design. I looked up a lot more images of ophanim for inspiration, as well as a little bit of galeem from Smash Ultimate, as it's got a very similar vibe going on, but was also a bit more simplified than some of the ophanim images I found. I kept the prism floating above the eye with the light wings outstretched above, but the pyramid is no longer there, and instead we're greeted by a large eyeball floating in the middle. I took the pyramid and turned it into a shawl/wings, with eyes adorning the entirety of it. I felt like it was a good way to include multiple eyeballs, while also having the eyes feel like a pattern as well to avoid clutter with the design. For the prism I really wanted to keep it in tact to reference the pyramids floating above and below the original Eyphanim (Though I did remove the bottom pyramid). I also have the shawl for Eyphanim wrap around to the back and connect like a ring, referencing the golden rings of Eyphanim while avoiding just putting a bunch of floating rings around it. I felt like the design needed to flow and look at least slightly more organic to feel like a pokemon. It can move it's shawl around when attacking, uncrossing the wings on the front or even extending the ring above it's head for more powerful attacks, appearing almost like a traditional angel's halo. I struggled a bit figuring out the perspective of the "halo tail" in the front facing shot but eventually I got it and let me just say that I am absolutely thrilled with how this design turned out. I love it so much. Oh and one last thing, I used an actual pokemon as a base for this design. Not to model it after, but just to compare it to, and pull energy from. And that pokemon was... THIS! I did also look up Florges for a little bit of an idea of how to introduce a new type (which I still argue that line does misleadingly, it TOTALLY looks like a grass/fairy type). But yeah, that's all I've got on these designs, this is the last of the set. Wish me luck in the competition!
