Pokemon Sword - Tumblr Posts

Welcome back to tumblr @dantelionwishes !

Have some fan art of trainer D with 2 of my trainersonas as a welcome home gift (°c°)/☆°¤

Shout out to that time I drew reconstructed versions of the Galar fossil 'mons. These were made a few months ago. I was indecisive on what to do with arcto's design so I ended up making two.

Ok so Larkin has an eternatus named Majora on his team, yeah? And when I first got Majora this whole ass eldritch space dragon was terrified of literally everything and everyone.

Well, there was one exception though...

For some reason these two instantly bonded

SO-

Have a kitsune with her eldritch cosmos dragon.

Decided to make a reference for Larkin!

He/him

Challenger number: 602

A really soft boy

Just really loves his pokemon

Usual curry rank: copperajah - charizard

more in depth character info under the cut!

Backstory

Larkin is the adoptive brother of Leon and Hop! Also both of the podswick moms are his moms because they are a lesbian couple. Larkin has always been extremely camera shy as well as weary of strangers, so the media doesn't really know much about him. Larkin learned his cooking skills from his moms, and can often be found helping around the kitchen. As kids, Hop was the defacto leader and would come up with plans to get up to shenanigans while Larkin would just be along for the ride.

Hop honestly could have convinced Leon to endorse him years ago, but Hop wanted to wait until Larkin was ready so they could set out on their gym challenge together. That's not to say Leon hadn't seen Larkin's potential. Larkin had always been really good with pokemon, but didn't have the self confidence that he could be a pokemon trainer for a long time, basically up until roughly a year before the events of the game. Leon was absolutely ecstatic when Larkin asked for a pokemon of his own, which lead to leon bringing the three starts for larkin and Hop.

To quickly sum up Larkin's personality, he's shy, quiet, easily startled, very kind, and would honestly rather spend time with pokemon than people. He's just a really soft smol bean of sweetness and wholesomeness.

Their mischievous side didn't appear until they bonded with Larkin.

Fun facts about Larkin!

His outfit and overall style is inspired by zacian.

I know that there is a story behind why I chose the number 602, I just can't remember for the life of me why I chose that number. Ironic, considering that I distinctly remember spending time overthinking it waaaay too much.

Originally I was planning for Larkin to have a more mischievous personality, instead I got the human embodiment of a sobble.

Rose finding Eternatus, probably.

Update: I can confirm that eternatus' horn membrane is elastic.

So I've been studying eternatus' anatomy and realized a few things:

1) the clear walls between the ribs are definitely an elastic membrane, would probably feel a bit like latex to the touch. (Realized this bc the membrane isn't flat like it would be if it was crystalline, it is concave like fabric pulled over a frame). This brings up a question about the membrane connecting its horns. I always thought they were the same.... tissue? substance? But the horn membrane looks more rigid.

2) there are freaking divots in its spine???? How the heck haven't I noticed that before?

3) the way its back spikes line up when it's moving makes me think it used to have a membrane connecting them, a little similar to spinosaurus.

4) the way it moves reminds me of aquatic mammals... now I have the image of eternatus with fins, flippers, and a whale tail...

5) eternatus is far more heavily based off of eastern long dragons than western dragons. This brings the long whip like structures on its shoulders further into question... just what are they?

6) eternatus' back legs actually make slightly more sense knowing that it is an eastern dragon, some traditional art of long dragons have similar hind legs.

7) those strange whip like structures on eternatus' shoulders... I still don't know what they are. When I first saw eternatus I thought that they were wings. But after watching eternatus move in camp I'm not so sure. They don't move like wings would, they act more like tendrils.

Also the way it moves its head makes it look like it's super curious and that's frigging adorable.

So I was camping with eternatus when I noticed that it stretches the membrane between it's horns for it's "angry" animation.

So I guess that means eternatus uses that big face shield thing for expression?

Hey, so you know how eternamax eternatus is a giant hand?? Well, uhmm, I may have a cursed bit of evidence to the contrary.

So when you throw a pokeball at eternatus it opens it's "finger tips" and then closes in on the pokeball, clearly trying to investigate it. Eternatus then appears to recognize what it is and freak out. This means that eternatus uses it's "fingers" to see.

In conclusion, the fingers are not actually fingers they are either eyes or heads. Have a nice day!

so a while back I mentioned to @bl00diedhell​ that I believe that the eternatus we see in game is not complete. so I drew some concepts for what a complete eternatus could look like.

more info about each concept under the cut!

the first concept was me treating eternatus as a skeleton and trying to construct musculature onto it. I made it by taking a screen shot of eternatus and then drawing over it, which is why that drawing looks different from the other two. I then threw a galaxy overlay on it because why not.

the second concept I tried to make something that looked more natural than concept 1, yet was still recognizably eternatus. I ended up going with an exposed skeleton/bone armor design.

the third design was me just doing whatever I wanted to in the name of artistic licence. 

Oh boy it's my trainersona Sefu!

He/him

terrifyingly determined

completionist

Backstory

Sefu had a pretty normal childhood besides living next door to the champion. growing up he knew Leon well enough due to being best friends with Hop aswell as being their next door neighbor. Seriously Game Freak there is no way that Leon would have never met his little brother’s childhood best friend who lives right across the street before the events of the game. The only thing out of the ordinary about Sefu was his frequent escapades into the Slumbering Weald when no one was looking. he never ventured far into the woods, but he did watch and occasionally play with the wild low level pokemon. But what could you expect when it is literally in his backyard?

At the start of his pokemon journey Sefu was fairly reserved and inquisitive. As time went on he became more assertive and outspoken.

personality wise, he is clever and incredibly determined. He is a completionist in just about anything he does. He is a nerd and proud of it. He has had every possible type match up memorized since he was a kid, something Hop teases him for often. As mentioned before, Sefu is the only sane and functional brain in all of galar. He is very much the adult in the room. That being said, he does have a little bit of a secret mischievous side.

Nevermore - female, serious, alert to sounds.

Very serious business all the time

Zacian - timid, alert to sounds

Likes to silently watch people from afar

Acts all mysterious mainly because that tends to keep people from approaching and they don't want to have to interact with people.

Ok so @hattricks responded to one of my posts with this

And that resonated with me on a spiritual level.

So, uhm,

Untitled eternatus game

I'm particularly proud of these so I thought I would post them. These are for the header image and Icon for the ask eternatus blog.

Why do majora and cuddle pup get along so well? Was it because of rng or what?

I honestly don't know. My best guess is that I was playing with the two of them when I first added majora to the team. From experiments I have done I'm pretty sure that having two pokemon play with the poketoy together has a chance to improve their relationship. However it normally only raises it a tiny bit, while Majora and Cuddle pup instantly bonded. So I'm not sure.

I kinda want to post about my various eternatus centric swsh AUs. But like, do I make a drawing for each? Just make a massive text post? Idk

Has anyone made a detailed and labeled map of the isle of armor yet? Like not just talking the simplified map from the rotom phone, I mean a fairly accurate mape with dens and berry trees labeled. I really need a map like that tbh. We have maps like that for the wild area.

First off, I take no credit for this theory! It belongs to @tetheredavian74 , she just gave me permission to make a post about it!

Her theory is this: Rose is a time traveler.

Something horrible happened a thousand years in the future and he went back in time to make sure it could never happen by any means necessarry. That's why he had his whole speech about how the people of galar today wont matter in a millenium and talking about how he's going to change the course of history. It's also how he was able to develop such advanced technology. Plus he turns himself in afterwards. He doesnt try to run or hide or say he was in the right; his job was done.

Spoilers for pokemon swsh:

When you beat Rose you basically get to mug the CEO of Galar

Hi. So I was minding my own business when my brain threw this thought at me:

"If Majora the eternatus and Cuddle Pup somehow had a kid, what would they look like?"

So uh yeah I had to draw

Most of these are just recolors because I couldn't decide on just one color pallet. I also made a single design for an eternatus with ninetales traits.

I know it not really obvious from the profile drawings, but the vulpix are supposed to be really glowy. So I made the sketch above to try and make that more obvious.

Can we talk about how calyrex is covered in the triforce?

Like??? ????

There should be more fics about eternatus, where eternatus ISN'T evil.
