Hello guys! This is my first time posting in this community. I had an very original idea recently (it's wasn't haha). I wanted to make 151 Fakemon for my region in the Pokemon Yellow style.
I practically have no experience in making Fakemon designs. But I wanted to make my own thing. Of course I wanted to make starters for the region first. I didn't have any particular idea for the starter theme but I had an idea for one of the fire pokemons. I was thinking of making Fire Salamander (species) pokemon.
In my head it was a pure fire pokemon that would evolve into fire poison. So I made boring and probably bad design choice I made a small fire amphibian (in the third picture you can see how the baby looks). I had an idea to use their yellow marks as some kind of cyndaquill marks, where they could get their fire or poison from. So in the first picture we can see their "external gills" being on fire. The idea was that they could turn off or on if needed.
I was pretty happy with the design and everything so I started making the evolution of it. I really wanted it to have multiple limbs of some kind because sometimes amphibians grow multiple of them. So I chose to do more legs. Idea was that they could get "fire legs" from their marks or even enhance their normal ones with fire for combat. Also I forgot to mention. I wanted them to be big on speed since they have multiple legs haha. On second evolution I wanted to show that pokemon got more black since it was getting its poison typing or it looked like it was burned.
Then. I went to the third one. I was kind of stuck but the thing I knew I wanted to do was add a pair of legs of course haha. So yeah in the end I got the guy in top right. But man. This Pokemon didn't look like any starter. It was too scary and evil looking. It was more like some kind of pseudo legendary. Also nothing was saying that it got any kind of poison. It looked more electric with its yellow and black. Also its head reminded me of Haxorus a lot.
Soooooo i went redesigning again and got to the two guys on bottom there. I tried embracing the electric look and gave it some electricity on the legs. U redesigned head and eyes so it doesn't look that scary.
And then. I realized that middle evolution doesn't even connect the first and last. It looked just like a slightly bigger Lizard that was there for no reason. So I started working on it too. But it feels like I'm going nowhere at this point. I probably made a lot of mistakes while making this and I would love to redeem myself kind of.
I guess that some of you were in the same pit as I am now. So I would love to ask the worst question. What do I do? hahaha
Also thanks to everybody that read through this or even looked at the post! Thank you a lot!!!
If you got any questions or you think that I missed some things please ask! I will try to answer it.
