My posts for the 365 challenge that I did on tumblr. Initially sketch a day it later became “art a day” where I could spend multiple days colouring so long as I still did something.
So here we go! First of the “Larger” projects I’ve been wanting to do. The more squeaky hollow DO has been overdue an updated ref for a while. The original ref is from 2013 and… well my art’s gotten better.
He’s also a lot more toony and pudgy now oh what a shame. I plan on making the hair a little asymmetric after I’ve sketched out the back/front poses.
It took me quite a while to decide this but I guess Deoxys covers it.
Firstly: It’s confirmation of life in the pokémon universe outside of the protagonists’ planet (Though if you want to be pedantic, Clefairy was).
Secondly: It wasn’t even sentient or sapient at first, it was just a virus that mutated.
Thirdly: Viruses are microscopic, for it to mutate that much it has to have taken and mutated some kind of host which is kinda creepy in it’s own way as it would’ve had to have been partially organic as inorganic materials don’t have cells when it’s stated to alter it’s cellular structure. (Hell given the context of the gem in it’s chest being it’s brain, who knows, maybe it’s a mutant Staryu :B)
Fourthly: It can survive the extremes of space. Like what the hell Deoxys.
So while not a favourite Deoxys is probably the most badass haha.
