POKEDDEX: YOUR CHOICE! VOL 2  has officially begun! During January 2019 I will draw one Pokémon each day based on the suggestions that you guys have sent me. Each Pokémon has been chosen with a poll so all the power is in your hands. Also by your request I will be submitting each painting individually. Usually I just post them as a single dump but I decided to try something different. Let's see how this works! I might still post a compilation of all paintings when they're done.

You voted Phantump for the Ghost type Pokémon of choice! Now, this one was a challenge. Up until now the Pokémon I have drawn have been easy but Phantump was a design challenge. I have seen a few very cool interpretations of this Pokémon, a squid and a hermit crab to name a few, but I didn't want to do the same so I challenged myself to think outside of the box and went with a mammalian, primate creature. Another reason for choosing was the fact that Phantump and Trevenant are forest dwellers so I wanted to do something that fits those lines. I went with another aye-aye based design due to all the ghost stories and beliefs surrounding these creatures. They have a nice forest spirit feel to them! Now I really wanna try to do Trevenant as well!

Horrific and cute, not sure how that works but it's completely accurate. I adore this interpretation of it. Makes it sadder with that body type haha.

It must be difficult creating a Phantump that is both realistic and anatomically correct. I think you have a unique interpretation, and the quality to express that.

It was quite the challenge, that's true! But hard work pays off in the end. Thanks!

I think this was a good choice even though i would've used a generic ghost form.
A primate makes sense since they're suppose to be dead children. Also love the creepiness.

ShadeofShinon In reply to MangekkoJones [2019-01-10 22:10:41 +0000 UTC]

I choose not to use vague things like generic ghosts or humanoids, they're not very believable concepts and it's kinda too easy. I prefer to go with something more concrete, something I can explain.

MangekkoJones In reply to ShadeofShinon [2019-01-10 22:42:30 +0000 UTC]

That's a good angle. I can see where those legends could come from. I'm curious as to see what your other ghost types would look like.

Oh! I would've never thought of making it something mammalian. An aye-aye fits it perfectly!

I love your choice to make it an aye-aye, it fits so well. And the design came out adorably.
not to mention the fact this is one of my favorite animals mixed with one of my favorite pokemon <3

They've also got those creepy claw hands so fitting for a ghost and/or dark type.

I was getting aye-aye vibes from this guy! Definitely interesting creatures, and a cool vision you got here. Well done. Can't wait for your Trevenant, either. ^_^
