Small Tusk - Tumblr Posts

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...?)
