Concept I'm calling "badass mole." Since Diglett barely looks like a mole, I have a lot to work with... was going to make it of the star nosed variety, but they're really ugly. So if you look at this guy head on, the mark on his nose looks like a star. Idea is that since shades are associated with the Dark type (i.e. BlackGlasses) and moles (I guess because they're blind...), I give a mole (Ground type) shades and a bad attitude and it sounds good for Dark/Ground. I was almost not going to bother since Ara's dust devil looks really amazing, but oh well. Decided to post the concept sketch anyway, hopefully I'll finish it.
Looks a little bit like Sonic the Werehog...pretty neat, though.
Well so far I think cartoons and his Alice in wonder land character have my vote if I couldn't vote for my own art. Mock turtle is a well known and lovable character and the design is pretty awesome.
Great stuff cartoons!
Great stuff cartoons!
In about a week or so, or a bit longer.
Also, I'm reminding everyone that this thread hasn't even been up for a full day. I frankly don't care who *currently* has your vote, and it clutters up the thread. If you think this is all CAP artists have to offer, you are definitely wrong.
That being said, I'm loving the work!
Hello, all.
My idea was a little uninnovative, but only because I hadn't got a long time to work on it.
Behold, my Dark/Ground Baboon:
Evil monkey is evil
Its dark because its a monkey that plays tricksies + horns and tail
Its ground because it walks... on the ground... yeah
Please comment.
Edit: Improved with dodge/burn. Keep in mind this is my very first time sketching/coloring my idea since i've thought of it, so if you think its lame now, just wait. and lol@breastplate
I like this one. Although I'd try to make him look "grounded" as suppose to a Fighting-type
My current faves + criticisms
Caladbolg's Ventriloquist; though the design doesn't scream ground, the earth tones help bring that vibe out.
Aragornbird's Tasmanian Devil; I love the initial design and simplicity.
Aragornbird's Dust Devil; The design is great, but I can't tell if the swirls are supposed to be solid or gas (and I don't know which I'd prefer).
TheMutant; I'd love to see this colored. The pose and face really seem sinister.
Cartoons!'s MockTurtle; MAN I like that face.
MysteriousFellow's 2nd design; I much prefer this to your first. I'd add detail to the interior black part to distinguish what it is.
PKMN Trainer Manson's mole; don't quit! I'd vote for this guy over lots of submissions.

Alright, here's my second concept. Some people are saying that everyones art is looking too offensive and speedy so this is a more defensive looking CAP9.The first picture on top is a full body picture of him out of the sand with a tiny version of how he looks from an orthographic top view. The second is a picture of him hiding in the sand. I can see this guy shrugging off some damage(Stopping Secondary) but still being a threat.
I'm working on my first concept as well. Adding some chunks of dirt or flying debris within the smokey/dusty darkness of his body. So that's coming right up. Thanks for all the encouragement and constructive criticism so far!
I sort of like this one the best, there are a lot of good ones though.
Wow man, that is impressive.Well, I might revisit Taz, but for now I'm working on another "devil"

What color/colors is it going to be by the way?
Well, I've been brainstorming some ideas, and one of my ideas that jumped out at me was an armored wolf kind of thing. Now, this is just an extremely rough pencil draft (I realize there are some body part deformations, etc), but that will be fixed in the good copy. I'd just like some input on this so far.
As you can see, parts of its body is protected by rock armor and parts of its body are not.
I still have many more ideas to do, so this isn't the only one.

After sitting down and brainstorming differnt critters to base my design off of on Saturday, I eventually came up with an animal that would work towards either of the two sub-types that were to be selected (and ground was the ultimate winner) and towards and offensive or defensive bias.
The animal that I had in mind was a komodo dragon. After some playing around with a basic komodo dragon body, I eventually came up with something rather simple, kinda like a Pokemon from one of the earlier generations. This is not the original piece that I used to create the Pokemon, but, rather, this is meant to show the Pokemon in its pencil colored and photo edited beauty.
The coloration of the majority of its body and the fact that it is a land-based creature makes this komodo dragon Pokemon look like a ground type while the dark sphere-like scales on its paws, along its back and tail, and around its evil looking red eyes gives it more of a dark-type feel. The dark claws seem to add to this dark-type appeal, but not to the extent that I was going for.
Or, at the very least, that is what I was thinking when I drew this.
Looking at it, before I make the final submission, I probably should go back in and (1.) color in the pit of its nose so that it is not white, (2.) see what I can do to make that background look whiter, and (3.) make its eyes "glow" a little bit since they don't seem to do that very well. Both should be easily done on the computer.
Also, I do fancy Caladboldg's armadillo design, Atyroki's thorny devil design, Mysteriousfellow's duststorm design, and Buffalo Wings' stegasaurus-like design. All of them are really good concepts that I never thought of. I cannot choose a favorite out of those four, however.
I also realize that the komodo dragon design that I came up with is a similar sort of concept to bubmaniacbob's gila monster. By no means was that intentional.
Edit:
Caladboldge, I would have said something had I seen it sooner, but I think that the color scheme change works much better with the typing than before. I like both the spikey and non-spikey version as they work well with the typing, so I think whether you add the spikes or not should be your choice and your choice alone. Either that, or you could just say that one is male and the other is female.

@ caladbold~, i like version 2 the best
Hi guys! Im completely new to this forum and all of smogon, but I wanted to see if i had a shot in this competition.
So far the bias thread says repeatedly shows that Slightly Offensive is going to be the best choice. So I thought. What has spikes (stab is pretty good with darks) and is Dark, Ground, and Stop the Secondary.
A Snake? It could work. (Crunch, Persuit) and some snakes are nocturnal.

C & C appreciated! It's still a contour (neat sketch) so it WILL change. Thanks in advance.
(BTW, its supposed to be digging/coming out of a hole. I didn't add the rocks yet)

i would like to show support for cadalbolgs armadillo because not only does it look good, but it also looks like it could make use of rapid spin, somethin that could be good for something that stops the secondary.
Workin on the outline :d Can't color till I have a good design. This an improvement at all? Trying to make it more like the lion/manticore bastardization it's supposed to be. (Also, is the tail ornament fine or should I change it? Opted out of the tradition scorpion tail- I feel that's more Poison and would just overcomplify this design.)
Thanks for the support so far!
Ok, here's my WIP.
Just a rough sketch at the moment:
It's main colors will be White, black, brown, and silver.
The horn on it's face is going to be a drill.
I think the design is pretty self-explainitory.
comments and criticisim appriciated!

Hmm.. now that I think about it, this piece of art gives me a subtle hint of something I've seen before.. Maybe that "MOLE" model from armored core last raven?
