[IC: body horror, distressed bird behaviour, OOC: briefly talked about communication issues] So I heard from Carrie that Ryslig is ending soon and Stocke plurked about it despite having also left it some time ago, so I guess I'll do the same! I played Shootie there when I was still in med school. I wrote him as a Tranquill->Unfezant harpy! It was fun.

He's more comfortable with Pokemon being affectionate, than humans, so he was actually more affectionate with other monsters, that part was cute. Even if I made the body horror aspect of his transformations really awful, fff.

(Melting bones a la Shinichi shrinking into Conan in the Detective Conan manga... bones becoming more hollow and porous like birds' bones, etc.)

I messed up because I was trying to appease everyone in a player plot until it exploded due to my failure to communicate adequately, I also got blamed for missing hints dropped only IC but not commuicated OOC-ly only so I never realized it was a problem until after droppung, but I still have fond memories and it inspired a lot of creativity.

I still really like the designs I drew, so I'll share some old art! ^^

Yeah yeah I wanna see your designs

Oh I didn’t mean to post both of those emotes but they’re both accurate so sure why not

Kept his hands in the wrists of his wings so he can still hold a camera, I'm not so cruel as to separate him from photography.

My little bird boy...

uwaah

His hair turned feathers rise like the crest of a Rufflet!

I gave him an enchanting singing voice and he never used it because it's such a cheap, ignoble way of hunting, according to Trip. He'd rather give his prey a fighting chance, etc.

Sad monster hates being a monster, thinks he can reverse the transformation by ripping his feathers out, briefly loses ability to fly because of it. Sad bird with self-destructive feather plucking habit, basically.

He has scaly little, taloned hands, like his birdy feet, by the way.

That's it!! There was some older art of his first changes, but it is Ugly.

I flippin love seeing people’s monster designs in this game they’re always sooooo cool.

Wait, there were some cute ones of it, maybe I could hunt them down later. Thank you!!! ^^

I took inspiration from a lot of things, but Howl in Ghibli's take of Howl's Moving Castle was a big one!!

I can def see that vibe yeah

Unused, but he got resorted shirtly before I dropped when the ratios were out of wack with new monster types: s Goomy slime! Extremely weak, cannot open doors by himself, but unkillable. No nucleus

@muteswans on Plurk

Here's all my plannjng when I thought I'd re-app last year

*planning

Gooomy slimeeee! If I had gone through with apping Akari after bringing her for the last fourth wall, I think a Hisuian Goodra slime coulda been cool for her. (During the fourth wall, she was an Arceus centaur!)

Cuuute!!! They could've been slimy, weak dragon friends!!!

Yeah! There are so many cool potential monster designs based on Pokemon, I woulda been happy with basically any sorting. I was much the same way with Kirby. There were only a few types where I couldn’t immediately conceive what a potential design would be like. Naga was absolutely inspired on the mod’s part, though.

If I could choose, I would've been uncreative and gone with Serperior Naga, so, it's nice that mods pick, ffff.

Haha! That would’ve been cool too.

your art for these is still so cute ;__;
