Description Sceptile for !
I used watercolors for it, so it’s a bit brighter then my usual stuff... I worked hard on the coloring so I didn’t feel like adding in pen. What you think? Do you prefere the watercolor pen that I’ve used for most of my pokémon art or wouldn’t you mind to see more like these?

On to sceptile!
First I went for a raptor-look for sceptile, but it looked really unbalanced due to the long neck! So I went for a gallimimus like creature instead... then this idea of how kasuars walk around in the woods stroke my mind. It suited my version of sceptile perfectly, as they are green. And in kusuars, both male and females are brightly coloured (thought, the females are bigger and got larger ornaments) to attract each other in the dull jungle.
So, I was thinking that the intensely coloured plates and orange areas of the sceptile could have such function. Thought, intense colours aren’t very good for a predator, so maybe their colours are dull except during a mating season or something.
Sceptiles may feed on small mammals and reptiles, thus it lives alone or as a pair and guard a territory (but as a pair, they may hunt bigger prey, something that is great as they may need more food if they got young). They are quick, but always start a hunt by stalking a prey or standing still, waiting for its approach. It got leaf-like structures and green colour upon its body that work as camouflage. Such ornaments wouldn’t be very good for a hunter as they reduce speed and may get entangled, so maybe they can fold them.
Err... something like that...

Hmm maybe the leaf-like projections could be used for hunting/defense? The tail looks kinda like a Stegosaurus'. They have 4 tail spikes that were used to defend themselves against predators like Allosaurus. The arm spikes could have been used like large claws for attacking prey? Like a Raptor's toe claws except on its fore arms since maybe kicking in a jungle was less convenient?

Octoboy-the-8th [2008-09-19 03:13:02 +0000 UTC]

That's good. Sceptile looks somewhat odd in its official art, but here, it looks cool.

Though it looks a little less carnivorous here for some reason.

Reapoke [2007-03-09 08:08:41 +0000 UTC]

A really cool design! I love the head. I can't see them hunting by speed though, not with those spikes on it's tail and 'arms' through a jungle, but it would give him perfect camouflage as a plant. So I think it could hunt purely by ambush.

I really love the dinosaurian look that Sceptile has. :3 And the ferny look of the tail. I'm always so impressed by the way you incorporate realistic anatomy into the original designs.. :3 Awesome as always!

TheGuardianofLight [2007-03-09 02:47:24 +0000 UTC]

That's a good idea for it. Although, since a raptor wouldn't work, perhaps it could've been something like an allosaur or something in that realm, that's what I'd think of for him.

Great sceptile, love the tail especially. The coloring looks pretty good one way or the other, though I'm not really a fan of the brightness. At least it's not blaringly bright. =P

I'm not good with gold-silver pokemon so I can't remember what this critter usually looks like, but it looks good here. I like the parts coming off the arms and the little teeth. and the coloring looks nice as well.
