???mon, I choose you! (Art Exercise)

[Killix]

I was playing with the Nokemon AI generator this afternoon and amongst the pile of weirdness and eldritch abominations, it eventually spat out a couple of cute designs.

I had the desire to try drawing one as if it were a real Pokemon (_{or 'mon type character from a real franchise}).

While drawing, I thought this might be a fun prompt for this community!

Catch your 'mon!

Step 1:
Head on over to the Nokemon generator: nokemon.eloie.tech/
Choose "Basic", and start generating your AI-crafted critters of cute horror.

Step 2:
When you've generated one you like, save its image/link and get to re-imagining it as a real Pokemon!
Feel free to adjust the design as you see fit.

Step 3:
Post your results here!

Want some extra exp?
The following prompts are all optional. Pick and choose which (if any) you'd like to try:

• Draw or sketch your new critter in an action pose!
  (_{Suggestions: Fateful Encounter!, Using its signature move, Napping, Eating, etc.})
• Draw your critter's shiny form.
• Draw your critter's evolutionary forms, if you imagine it having any.

Alright, let's have some fun with our Pretendo64 and generate ourselves some not-Pokemon!

Here were my results:

I generated this seal-y lookin' Water/Ice thing:

My take:


Shiny!


Some bonus sketches!
(Taking damage, Ice Fang attack, and some expressions.)

This is such a fun little thing, thank you for this, Killix! xD

I had a hard time stopping with only one generated 'mon, so I got three I liked and just did pencil sketches of them.

The first one is maybe slightly uncanny valley to me, but I loved its little 8O face. XD But since it's also a fighting type, I like to imagine it being the sort that just screams at opponents and flail-punches them.



Poor fire/ice guy unfortunately gets to be the punch-ee. Thankfully, inscrutable and very cool-looking fairy/normal one is here to hover in solidarity.

[Killix]

Oh yes, don't feel obliged to stop at just one. 8D Catch an entire team of ???mon if you please!

OH SNAP I GOTTA TRY THIS. I love drawing weird creachers

[Breakingchains]

Tried one out, I got this weird little spooky ghost/electric dude who stares into your soul. I kinda tweaked the shapes into something owl-y, and stretched the green/gold color scheme to get a circuitboard theme. Couldn't decide what to put on the belly but it looked blank so I stuck a VGA port on it rotfl.



...You probably shouldn't hook him up to anything, who knows what'd happen. You'd need an adapter these days anyways.

I finally got around to finishing this. I generated this critter:

And turned it into this cool, 18th century ballroom dancer looking ghost.

It works better as a ghost/steel, imho, but ghost/normal was the typing generated.
