Not particularly my style of tweet but seeing how things are online and how folks I follow are reacting, I figured I could go on a little yap. This is my drawing tablet, he’s 8 years old probably should be replaced soon but I’m still working with what I got. (1/6)

Btw this is what happens to my twitter account I show up every 10 moons and go on a side quest, painting me a Dau for my personal monster hunter diorama collection. I did not forget about the Wind and Waves starter evolutions. #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter #reydau

@VCreateArt Theres a myriad of colorful pheasants you could take inspiration from and as far as representing “flight transport” you could take a jab at a few distinctive species of eagles and hawks in the region

Chat wtfuck do I do? I've legit been looking into so many birds of paradise, and I can't seem to find something for browt😭 Like everyone is doing Garuda or Cassowary, I wanna do something different, so if you're familiar with the culture or wildlife plz help😭

@t_kobs Glad ya liked it, I was struggling with this fellow lol

@YoloDraws This is sick

And with that, I'm done conceptualizing the starter evolutions. Water Psychic is a very common direction that I went with as well. I tried to incorporate mainly themes of water reflecting the night sky, divinations and moons. #PokemonWindsWaves #fakemon #Gecqua #pokemon

Water is also an important element in many cultures so I utilized it's importance here as well, this one in particular might convey the ideas better in color form so I hope you look forward to that when I'm done. Here's Browt in the mean time x.com/YoloDraws/stat…

No gecqua yet sorry, I got a chipped tooth that needs to be looked at.

@elysianfelt Got similar opinions when I showed em both to my friends, I think I'm gonna go with the left too, leads well into the final stage more than the right.

@YoloDraws I’m a Browt day one fan. I like the first mid stage evolution. I like the second but it reminds too much of Quaxwell. Whom I like but that’s why I choose the first option to keep it distinct

Ok well I did not expect that pop off, since the immense support I figured I continue to show off my train of thought with Browt. Again with so many iterations already, here is my take that hopefully stands strong with everyone else. #PokemonWindsWaves #fakemon #Browt #pokemon

@DanNoctrixity @FiveStarKirby I will

@YoloDraws @FiveStarKirby gecqua: hello

I went with a Chicken due to it's importance within SEA, I guess here's a plug for my Pombon attempt if you wanna check it out Browt folks. x.com/twitter/status…

@MirkoDibi yup those are next

@YoloDraws So far, this is the best fan-made representation I've found on internet, congratulations! Will you also do representations of Gecqua and Browt evolutions?

Hope I'm not too late, I've seen a lot of other folks do designs with similar ideas in mind, hopefully mine is unique enough. Here's a sneak of what I got going for Pombon, I'll make a proper post once I get the other two done. #PokemonWindsWaves #fakemon #Pombon #pokemon

@ok_g00ner If we lived in my world I would’ve made it Fire/Dragon (I know it’s not really a dragon but it’s got the aspects to me) But realistically I’m thinking Fire/Fairy would make the most sense, it is based on a guardian figure

@YoloDraws Amazing! Does it gain a second typing?

@WildeMaster69 That’s pretty interesting to learn, I do have my síghts on Bakunawa for Gecqua but in all honesty I’m down for them to make the more grand mythologies mythical and legendary pokemon in the final product

@YoloDraws The Balrong has an opposite, which makes it viable for a Legendary Duo in a DLC or post-game. They could go Fu Dog and they could flip the script by having gender differences. Male: Fire/Steel (has a ball) Female: Fire/Fairy (Has a cub)

@ChataCabraFan glad ya like my attempt

@YoloDraws Genuinely the best design I've seen yet. A lot of them kinda end up like Arcanine or just a Mastiff but this one has so much visual identity and looks like it has heavy callbacks to Emboar and Inferape.

@1809Gaming97505 @FiveStarKirby Let's see how this batch goes in the future.

@YoloDraws @FiveStarKirby I mean you have exhibit A: make the starters humanoid enough that they still look good (emboar, greninja, inteleon) And you have exhibit B: straight up person in a fur suit (cinderace, quaquaval) Skeledirge and Samurott are excellent examples of animal looking starters

@1809Gaming97505 @FiveStarKirby I don't particularly dislike that route, they've always used anthropomorphizing as a direction for the partner-y vibe, but it's been successful and unsuccessful in different starter designs

@YoloDraws @FiveStarKirby Im just hoping they don’t ruin any of the new starters by making them too humanoid

@1809Gaming97505 @FiveStarKirby Hard to tell, since I think they're starting to go more towards a new art direction, but I'm sure they know what they're doing

@YoloDraws @FiveStarKirby I’m not picking Pombon, but I do have high hopes for it’s evolutions, and if they’re good, I may change my mind

If you'd like I could post my thought process. moodboard and ideas for the other two designs as well.

@RedHeroPlays he seems pretty angry for a bird

actually it's kinda growing on me this is like my ugly chud son
