#159 - Healing Pokemon (Water/Fire)
#160 - Pandemic Pokemon (Poison/Dark)

The names can change obviously but it won't happen too often. Some I've listed here I haven't posted here yet...that's because I haven't created them properly however I either have basic sketches of them done or a strong idea of what I want them to look like in my head. I have other ideas too but they haven't made the pokedex for definite yet. So they're not listed.

I'm not making a game, but I'm hoping to create many things surrounding the region such as Fakemon, World Map (In HGSS style), Gym Leaders, Evil Organisations, Rivals (of which there will be many) and Elite Four.

I'll get to posting them, if you want extra info about the fakemon (like stats, level up moves or pokedex info) you can find all these fakemon at my deviantart profile, the links in my sig)

​

Brystrich and Shamire were the first two I made, so I might redo them at some point. The details of these fakemon may change if I think of something more suitable for them (like name, species or pokedex number details) but I won't be changing anything too drastic.

The Bargeo Pokedex will have 160 Poke(Fake)mon in it. The amount of legendaries I'm unsure about....maybe 8-10. I'm working on another fakemon right now...so I'll make posts about fakemon as I make them.

I'd love some feedback (here and on deviantart) I think I'm getting a bit better but I know I have a lot to improve on.

The current Gym Leader was a Warden for the prison. The Institute of Logical Advances (Iola) and Iola campus can be found here. The once drab prison has developed into a buzzing metropolis over time.)

22. Sonabrig Town (A fairly new town located on a bridge. A large Market is held there every Saturday.)

​

Nearly every place name is directly influenced by a combination of words (that relate to the kind of place it is) and a couple came about from taking a word and changing it around (so it sounds nicer :p) No Phonice mountain isn't based on Telephones :p

Again I want to mention I'm not making a game, everything is just to get a better understanding of the Bargeo region.

 

[I-shadez]

what i am about to say is not insulting your ability to draw but is contructive critisizm:

it seems like not alot of thought was really put into the art side of things, it seems like you have a good idea with how they all want to look, but the finnish product seems a bit....un-profesional.

as i said i like the idea and where your going with it but the style its drawn is isnt very apealing to me....

just giving my opinion :D hope to see more of this and to see it improve, keep it up

Thank you! You're the first person to give me criticism (or much of any comment really...) so I haven't got a great idea of what the general opinion of my work is....I really need criticism.

Could you go more in depth with what you think is wrong? I have a bit of an idea is it....

* Boring Angles (I could try drawing the fakemon at an angle, I need to work on making them more solid...they do look flat.).
* Shading Problems (My shading is probably just about passable (ish) but it's nowhere where it should be. I think I need to pay closer attention to how shading affects the shape of my fakemon. I need to make them more solid and 3d too.
* Wobbly Lines It can be very difficult to stop my lines looking wobbly and jagged. I use Gimp mostly for making the lineart (although recently (Belsagag) I've attempted using a program called Inkscape to draw the lineart. I don't have a drawing tablet either....do I need one? :S

Usually I'll sketch out the fakemon, scan it and then bring it up in Gimp. Then start drawing straight over with black. It's only since Belsagag I've separated the background sketch and the new lineart into different layers.

They're the three big problems I can see in my work....Can anyone point out others?

I don't know if I should try a sugi style or try and create my own style. There's a person on deviantart who makes fakemon and his style is like no other fakemon style I've seen.

#083 - Levibon

Spoiler:

Name: Levibon (Leva-bon)
Type: Normal
Species: Leveret Pokemon
Gender Differences: Male Levibon have light blue eye marks while Female Levibon have pink eye marks.
Evolution: Evolves into ??? at lv 26 (evolves a second time after this)
Info-bit: Levibon hang on to tree bracnes blowing back and forth in the wind with their ribbon like appendages. From a distance tourists often mistake them for Kakuna however Levibon are generally quite harmless. Before evolving, they live out their lives in a silk cocoon like pouch which offers comfort and protection. However it also inhibits their mobility making them extremley clumsy pokemon.

​

Levibon is based on a Leveret (baby hare) and an Aerial Silks Dancer. (as are it's evos) Levibon is a mixture of Leveret and Ribbon.

I was in the middle of doing this pokemon when I-shadez posted...I'm going to try and make my next one even better. I think I sort of half managed to make the ribbons look shiny....although they look a bit like they have butter rubbed on them. :/

I think I'll give Shamire a redesign too...I'm not as happy with him as the other starters anymore. I like Sqazocks design...so I don't think it needs to be changed too much. Chiglade could do with a small rethink too....

#012 - Iklepilla

Spoiler:

Name: Iklepilla (Ikle-pilla)
Type: Bug
Species: Caterpillar Pokemon
Evolution: Evolves into ??? at lv 18 (evolves a second time after this)
Info-bit: Iklepilla are very timid pokemon, liking to keep to themselves mostly. Even at an early age they start to show signs of psychic powers although these are limited. To escape danger it uses it's powers to levitate from harms way, however it struggles to lift pokemon or objects larger than itself. In Bargeo, it is a pokemon that symbolizes early morning and moments before a sunrise.

​

For this one, I changed things around a little bit. I got rid of the black outlines and replaced it with darker versions of the main colour used in Iklepilla. I think it works a bit better.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

#021 - Firboon

Spoiler:

Name: Firboon (Fur-boon)
Type: Grass
Species: Heavyweight Pokemon
Evolution: Evolves into ??? at lv 35
Info-bit: One of the heaviest pokemon found in the Bargeo region, people must be cautious when travelling through woodlands as Firboon can fall out of trees without notice causing great injuries. They seem to have some sort of rivalry with Shamire.

​

I haven't posted it on deviantart just yet, but I will soon. It's based on a Fir Tree and a Baboon. The nose is a bit exaggerated, but the idea is there.

Is this style (Iklepilla & Firboon) better than my previous fakemon? Is this an improvement.....or is it getting worse :S

edit: Now that I look at it again, the right foot is annoying me a bit. Hmm

 

[tnguye3]

Like your ideas, especially the region maps. Looks like it's going to be one hell of a project.
In any case here's some of my crit:
The artwork needs work on the linert as they're wiggly and look sloppy, so you should smoothen them out as it's unpleasant to the eye. Maybe also make them thinner unless it's the style you're intending.
Now, some of your coloring is sloppy, and some of it is really good. For instance:
Olabostar. The coloring looks like a rough job, and it's just basically straight diagonal lines (which aren't even straight) with bucket fill effects going from darker to lighter. You prolly wanted to emphasize the steel type but you also applied this to the tentacles? O_o
you should work on your shading and reduce the number of shades of the same color (Like in Chiglade's big leaf which he's holding/sitting on) or somewhat smudge them/clean it etc.

Now looking at Bastot, I get the feeling you nailed down Sugi style, as it's really well colored. It's just that why the rest of the concepts don't use the same or similar technique. It's clean, and smooth etc. I'd say it's currently your best Fakemon in terms of coloring.

Anyways, keep em coming and good luck! ^_^

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Thanks for the crit!

Yeah my lines are very wobbly...that's one of my big issues. I'm going to try using the blur tool in gimp on my latest fakemon Firboon. I'm a bit worried though I don't want to make it too blurry...

I'm going to redo the starter fakemon I think, they need a do over...the overall ideas will stay the same though.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I haven't made a new fakemon, but I've made some changes to a previous fakemon, Tizanboo. It's more a style change than a complete overhaul though.

Spoiler:

I hope it's progress, I think it is anyway. What do you think?

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Two new fakemon:

#005 - Shamolten

Spoiler:

Name: Shamolten
Type: Fire/Steel
Species: Unruly Pokemon
Evolution:
~ Evolves from Shamire at lv 17
~ Evolves into Shamrai at lv 36
Info-bit:Brash and impulsive, Shamolten have great strength but don't yet have the sense to aim it anywhere useful. They love to rough house with they're trainers and fellow team mates....even if they're not able to keep up. Extremely proud, they like to listen to their own judgement before others.

#010 - Pipsquice

Spoiler:

Name: Pipsquice
Type: Normal
Species: Tiny Mouse Pokemon
Evolution:
~ Evolves into Vegavice at lv 20
Info-bit:Easily distracted, Pipsquice are often found playing with the puffball like tassles that grow from their ears. With seemingly no common sense it's often left to Vegavice to keep them out of harms way.

​

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I have a new fakemon to show you all:

#129 - Pigil

Spoiler:

Name: Pigil (Pigeon + Vigil)
Type: Dark/Flying
Species: Watcher Pokemon
Evolution:
~ Evolves once (details of evolution undecided)
Info-bit:Pigil keep a watchful eye over graveyards, protecting them from grave robbers and those up to no good. They will descend in great numbers on those who attempt to desecrate or rob a grave. Witnesses describe it to be a terrifying event.

The white parts of it's body are supposed to look somewhat like bone and also the red parts on it's breast is supposed to look like exposed flesh. However these are just markings. The blue piece is a band that holds it's head feathers together in a sort of mohawk shape.

It's design is based (somewhat) on the Crested Wood Partridge: https://www.peafowl.3h.com/crested.jpg although it's also mixed in with a bit of Pigeon.

I was initially going to make a Normal/Flying partridge but when I found this I thought it suited a dark typing more. I'm still making a Normal/Flying type as the usual (Pidgey/Starly) pokemon.

 

[southharmon]

the art for the pokemon just looks amatuerish but no offense i'm terrible at drawing and they don't seem like pokemon to me. however i will say that it is difficult to come up with names and abilities, attacks, evolution lines, etc. for so many pokemon and still stay as original as you do. also from the ones you drew first to pigil you have definitely improved because the pigil guy looks more like a pokemon and something i would definitely use on a team. then even more importantly i read the first few cities/towns on the map and your backstory and region is AMAZING. i loved it 4/5 on the originality and style of the region. i started picturing the different descriptions in my head and it was really cool. good luck and keep it up!

 

[Corvus of the Black Night]

You have really great ideas but they're not translating well through your designs. Try to keep more to an actual animal and add the clever traits later - imagine if Murkrow, for example, looked like a broom with crow characteristics than the other way around!

Remember, Pokemon are animals with traits of other objects. It's always more important to focus on the animal-part of the creature.

All that aside, you're making improvements. Pigil looks a lot more like a Pokemon than your previous works, and has a very solid design.

 

[Lambda]

Wow very good. this is a very nice new taste in pokemon art. These pokemon seem festive and happy great job =)

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Remember, Pokemon are animals with traits of other objects. It's always more important to focus on the animal-part of the creature.

Thanks for the input. :)

However I would hardly say pokemon such as Bronzor and Magmemite follow this rule do they? So maybe it's not always completely the case? I can't imagine what animals they're based on....

I mean I'd agree that I should make the fakemon like Floguin, Clamitty, Sqazock, Pipsquice, Firboon and Brystrich more true to animals physically, but if I tried adding animal like qualities to Glycomz, Tizanboo, Bastot, Olabastor or Belsagag the point of them would be completely lost or become very unclear. At least that's the feeling I get, there's a strong divide between those fakemon I mentioned. (although I didn't mention them all)

Plus I'm in the middle of working on an alien fakemon at the moment. It's an odd one, my idea for it is it's basic form will be a fire type and it will be genderless. Then based on if it has fought more males or females in battle it will evolve into a gendered pokemon (when it reaches a certain level) which will be Fire/Flying type. Which has gender differences based on if it's male or female) It's sort of based on the idea of aliens watching/observing humans and then camouflaging themselves to blend in with society.

I was going to do another bird for a Fire/Flying type, but I felt I already have enough birds planned. (although if this goes wrong I might revert to the bird)

So I can't promise it'll look natural and it might not even turn out that well. It's a bit of an experiment. I'll look up some pictures of aliens on the internet and see if there's anything similar to my idea design wise. (I know I'm doing it backwards.....)

So here it is, that Alien fakemon I mentioned before. Overall I'm happy with it...the only thing I'm not sure about is it's left hand/arm. I tried to make it look like it's palm was facing outwards but it does look a bit off. Positions is something I need to work on.

#133 - Ufire

Spoiler:

Name: Ufire (U-fire) (Ufo + Fire)
Type: Fire
Species: Oddity Pokemon
Evolution:
~ Evolves into Ufuego at lv 44 (evolves into male or female depending on gender ratio of pokemon fought)
Info-bit:A pokemon that has only first appeared in the Bargeo region in the last 15 years. It seems to be constantly taking in its surroundings with great interest. It communicates with other Ufire by rubbing their yellow/green antennas together.

At first I thought Ufire wasn't a great name, but after a while it felt like it suited this fakemon. (I was also considering Ufirei (U-fir-ray)....would that be better or worse?) The brown areas on it's body might seem random, but it's something that becomes more clear when it evolves.
