A Wild... Smol Tusk Appeared!? Poor Thing Looks Startled.

A wild... Smol Tusk appeared!? Poor thing looks startled.

I made this for the April Fools Day event going on in the Pokemedia subreddit, which involves fully-evolved Pokemon reverting to first-stage Pokemon, and vice versa. When I saw the theme I thought "Hey, I have a Great Tusk, what if I were to have that be one of the Pokemon that devolved?" And thus, Smol Tusk was born, alternatively named Small Tusk or Tiny Tusk. A friend of mine even worked on a potential 'dex entry/Occulture entry for it with me!

Tiny Tusk, the Paradox Pokémon Recent scientific developments have allowed certain Pokémon to regain traits of their prehistoric past, one of the few successful uses of this being the common Phanpy. Despite the temperament of its evolution, it's quite timid and quick to run away, though it will still trample anything on its escape route. It will leave notable imprints on any wall it flees through, no matter how tough the wall's material may be.

Since my Great Tusk (Good ol' Nakiba) was shiny, I also got to have some fun making this not just a Paradox Phanpy, but a shiny one! I'd say the yellow bands and light green skin stand out more than the normal Phanpy having just a lighter blue and unchanged red bands. (There's no normal version of it, though, because of the way I did the shading on this piece—mapping colors from shiny Great Tusk onto shiny Phanpy's Gen IV sprite and going from there, doing the shading directly on the color layer. I might do more art of Smol Tusk in the future, though! How many future art projects is that, now...?)

Leap for it, Scorbunny!

Having spent the past three days without heat in the house (heat that hopefully will be restored by the time this is posted), one thing's become clear to me: I should probably get down to business making money, shouldn't I?

Order up! But remember to look down...

If I've timed this art correctly, this should be posted around the middle of the time the eclipse passes over my part of the country. This is probably only a meager replacement for it, though, and I can't wait to see the actual thing!

Not even Ghostie can resist his own boops. (This one, thankfully, was done at a reasonable hour in a reasonable amount of time, less than an hour ago.)

So, we got's us a Boop-o-meter on Tumblr today, eh?

To celebrate, here's Ghostie giving his fellow Deb79ful OCs some boops of his own!

Nobody can resist a boop! ...Well, they can get upset about it, to varying degrees. But they can't resist it! (I stayed up from midnight to 5 in the morning drawing these, please send help)
