To elaborate on the title:
This is going to be a bit different. I don’t want to see actual pokemon. I do want to see how you can take the pokemon style and imitate or parody it. Wacky creature combinations with tacky names. What can you come up with?

Here are some ideas (from here) to get you started:

  • Steelosaur
  • Hippocross
  • Charzelle
  • Porpoison
  • Orcabbage

Sure. :grinning:

I haven’t either in fact, but they have always been known for their style of character design, and I thought it would be an interesting theme to play with.

But when in doubt, it all boils down to your interpretation of the theme.

WIP

Pure
I used to think Kirby was a Pokemon, back when I only knew him from Smash. (I was like, ten or something) Not exactly an original character, but since all my characters end up looking like blobs anyway, I might as well embrace it and make everyone’s favorite blob.

Wait, isn’t the Eevee render engine named after the Pokemon Eevee?

I had the same idea with the pokemon balls, now I have to think of somethings else or change my idea more :wink:

I’ve never really looked into that whole Pokemon thing, but you are probably right:

“Something”

non competing (pure), Cycles, Blender 3.1.2

I’m too tired to figure out what this is. But I guess it is not a Pokemon, so I’m calling it a day. :wink:

Thank you to have shared your .blend file

Voodoo You Do

Non-competing (Open for Mixamo animation)

Cycles, 256 samples, denoising, hair system, vertex paint, Mixamo animation, All new geometry and textures

I suck at animation so I use Mixamo motion capture on a ton of projects. Definitely not a Pokemon and you really don’t want to get them all.

Pure

All done in Blender using multiple scenes, the holdout shader and compositing. I think this is the first time I’ve used multiple scenes like so it was a learning opportunity. I did have a little help as my son made the lightning bolts :wink:
