RE: The Challenge: Season 5
So believe it or not I actually worked hard on this challenge with Drohn, and we went through a bunch of Pokémon. My first creation wasn't too bad...
But Drohn didn't really like it. So I made another one...
I am actually a huge fan of chick-foo, but it is a very generic Fighting-Type and both Drohn and I felt that I could do better. I tried again, but this one Drohn really hated...
So I then used the same scribble to create Glant here. The idea being that it is just a 4-fingered glove, with the thumb being an entity. I worked on the thing for quite a while, so here are all of my uploads of Glant. Hopefully you can see how the idea progressed into having it be more of a puppet master
(personally my favourite of the three is the second one)
After we saw Glant and decided that it just wasn't working... Well, Drohn wanted to continue with the idea, but as I preferred the second one and he obviously did not I called it a night. The next day I created an improved version of Chick-foo, the best on I had created thus far:
Even then, Drohn felt I could do a lot better. So I made up an entirely new scribble and made a Pokémon out of it. Here is how the final idea evolved (the final one just has some minor tweaks to add a little more detail):
And Banatee as my final submission. While on Glant I edited the scribble as well as just the Pokémon, I did no such thing with Banatee, so overall the concept feels more... complete. I don't know
