Part 2 Of Random Little Guys: Ninetales And Vulpix!

Part 2 of Random Little Guys: Ninetales and Vulpix!

I’ll start with Vulpix. As you can see, they still have their five tails, but I think Vulpix get one tail every, maybe 5 years? I like to think Vulpix are born with only one and get more as they grow and become stronger! That said, you’ll never find a Ninetales without, well, Nine Tails. Since Vulpix evolve with a stone, I suppose you could evolve one with only one tail into a Ninetales, but I think it would probably really stunt their growth and should probably count as Pokémon abuse. Anyway, Vulpix acquire a stick when they’re young, which they use as a focus for their latent physic powers. They often trade the stick for a bigger, stronger one as they grow, similar to the Delphox line, Vulpix always have a stick.

A bit off topic, but I think the Delphox and Ninetales lines would share a common ancestor? Maybe some sort of canid Pokémon, maybe I’ll draw it out sometime..

Ninetales are a Pokémon I always felt should be a dual type, so I made them Fire/Psychic. They’re heavily based off of Amaterasu from Ōkami, honestly, since it was the best full-body Kitsune reference I could get. You can see it mostly in the swirl fur around their elbows and wrists, Vulpix’s too, to a lesser extent, and also the patterning on Ninetales. By the way, no two Ninetales have the exact same pattern, logistically, I’m not sure how this would work, but if Spinda can do it, so can Ninetales. Ninetales’ stick is always on fire, it’s contained via their psychic powers and never goes out, this is because the fire on their stick is their foxfire, which can also be located in 4-6 balls that float around their tails. I also gave Ninetales actual Kitsune markings around their face and snout, because I feel they deserve it. I don’t do color, but Vulpix have orange fur that fades into white around their head curls, Ninetales are the opposite, with a more off-white that turns to orangish-red around their tail tips and hair curls. Speaking of, they have braids and attach Chingling bells to the ends.

I don’t think there’s much else to say here, really. Not without rambling endlessly, so I’ll cut it here.

THAT’S MY BABY!! My precious boy!!!

casual survey, reblog if you actually like yanqing

I actually got bored and doodled some guys awhile ago so I’m posting them here, I guess.

First up! Gengar Line.

So uh, they’re based on dream catchers, because I’m a sucker. They aren’t, Actually, dream catchers, as you can see by the Gastly present in the Gengar sketch, they just possess dream catchers.

So, Gastly chose to possess dream catchers, for some reason? Honestly, it’s just because I think it’s cool. I’ll have to come up with an in-universe reason. Regardless, Gastly and Haunter are both possessing objects, since I really love object-mons, Gengar is not! I don’t have much to say about the first two, they’re basically just dream catchers, but evil.

Gengar is fun, though! They still have dream catcher motifs in the giant sort-of-spiral on their torso and floating between their horns. They have these big blocky necklaces that are based on Shinto prayer beads, but I stuck fangs and feathers to them, which is probably disrespectful, now that I think about it..

Well, anyway, I also gave Gengars a tail, because they deserve it. They actually have 5 eyes, but I’m not sure how well you can really see that here, since I just scribbled these guys in the margin area, they also have two connecting parts of their mouths, though their actual mouths stretch further. I actually gave them the moon, above their dream catchers, and the wing-ears to contrast my Clefable line designs. The black orbs in their mane are Gastly that haven’t formed yet.

Anyway, I’m rambling too much, so I’ll cut it here. Give me a shout if anyone wants the Full Gengar Ramble.

There he go

Somebody hmu to draw pokémon or smth

A weird compilation of my latest Yanfei redesign attempts, except I hate all of them. My friends converted me to Polearm Yanfei… somehow. So now she’s sort of like Tartaglia I suppose. Well, back for Round 110 of Redesigning Yanfei.
