Rathalaugust2023 - Tumblr Posts

Didn't hear about this until well after it started, but Rathalaugust sounds extremely fun so I'll see if I can do at least a little during the month :]
(Day 1: Rathalos or Rathian, any variant)

"Rathalaugust Day 11 - Iodrome"
When an Iodrome's crest is broken, it just looks like big Ioprey. And while perhaps it already does, it's something that springs to mind whenever I fight one

"Rathalaugust day 12 - Yian Garuga"
Unfortunately my earplugs aren't high-grade...

Rathalaugust day 14: Dodogama
I'm pretty sure I only ever fought Dodogama once in my life. they are just relaxing and having a nice time

Rathalaugust day 15: Namielle (my LORD its wings are big)
Bonus - sketch from while I was figuring out what shapes Namielle is made of


Rathalaugust day 16: Great Izuchi
A sprite in the style of 2nd generation (Game Boy Colour) Pokémon! I find the style/limitations very fun to work with


Rathalaugust day 4: Yian Kut-Ku (catch up)
Yian Kut-Ku can come across as kind of pathetic, but I fondly rememember my first hunt of it. I found it pretty challenging at the time, and it was my first proper Flying Wyvern fight - it felt like a huge step!

Rathalaugust day 17: Lagiacrus
Perhaps I could've used this day to talk about how much I adore the 3rd gen games, but instead all I am really thinking is that Ivory Lagi is pretty cool :]

Rathalaugust catch up days 2 & 8: Paolumu and Diablos

Rathalaugust Day 18: Tigrex
Watch out Popo. Tigrex is coming. Oh god she has airpods in. She can't hear us. Oh my god

Rathalaugust Day 19: Glavenus
glavenus... rotate....

Rathalaugust Day 20: Magala
How about both in one? I always enjoyed Chaotic Gore Magala's tragedy, the whole thing of being trapped in between - so of course I would turn the "or" into "and" this way :]

Rathalaugust day 21: Anjanath
Dino that is in need of a tissue

Rathalaugust day 3 (catchup): Tzitzi-ya-ku
It wants to take your picture! (Watch out for the flash!)

Rathalaugust Day 22: Monoblos (...?)
Even in death, life still finds its way. Maybe it's cheating a bit, but I figure its skull still counts and I get to include some crab :]

Rathalaugust day 23: Barioth
(Had something slightly more interesting planned for this guy but art is hard and I'm sleepy)

Rathalaugust day 24: Qurupeco
This old Wyvern can still learn new calls!

Rathalaugust day 25: Amatsu
Our buddy Amatsumagatsuchi, Heavenly God of Calamity, wouldn't you know it, took a bit to figure out. And I've certainly learned some stuff for next time I draw em lol
