Fakemon: Petalikrab
Type: Steel / Grass
Region: Unknown
Evolution stage: 1 of 3
Inspiration: Petal, metal, crab, helmet.
Petalikrab is a Pokémon whose green shell, shaped like a spiked, flowered helmet, protects it and helps it blend into tall grass.
Its blue petals attract insects and Fairy-type Pokémon, creating a small living ecosystem around it.
When it feels threatened, it withdraws completely into its shell, leaving only its sharp spike exposed to deter predators.
It can remain motionless like this for hours, perfectly merging with its surroundings.
Quick and lively despite its round appearance, it moves sideways like a crab and pinches any intruder that gets a little too curious.
Its origin remains a mystery, and the region where it appears is still unknown.
Some researchers believe its flowers change color depending on the climate.
Its discretion makes it a Pokémon worth keeping an eye on… to avoid stepping on it!
Comments:
Improved proportions for a better final result. Still some slight reworking of the sketch and the new lighting technique. Even closer to the desired rendering, but still not fully satisfying.
Production time: approximately 7 hours.
