PokeBeach CAP Entryby ~Xous54

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Games

My entry for the PokéBeach C.A.P. Project. The focus is "it must be a Fighting/Electric-Type that must make sense with this CAP's concept which is removing weather."

For more information on the guidelines of the Fakemon, the thread is here:

The thought of something Electric / Fighting with the focus of removing weather made me think of something organic that used a machine in its body to change the weather. A weather machine, then a dynamo, is what came to mind immediately. Using that as a base, I thought of how something like that could come to be. I remembered the PokéDex entry of Magneton that stated its strong magnetic fields affected the weather of its surroundings, and I went with something similar to that. This Fakemon uses the dynamo on its back to draw energy from the weather around it - thus "draining" the weather away to nothing - to charge its attacks and body.

When thinking of something that could fit as a Fighting-Type I considered the animals that already represented that Type and the Mankey line came to mind. This worked, especially since the attacks included biting and punching moves. My first concept sketch reminded me of the Megaman X boss Spark Mandrill, so it worked with the monkey base (though I admit the end result feels more like a lion than ape). Going by base stats it was more defensive than offensive, so I kept its shape bulky and round. The hair was added to make it feel more organic than mechanical, to avoid it feeling more like a Steel-Type than a Fighting-Type. I considered making a Raijin, but since Thundurus now exists, I didn't want to take that path.

We're not supposed to have a name for them at this stage, but I personally call this guy Mandramo (Mandrill + Dynamo).

Please don't use this artwork for anything. Thanks.

Enjoy.

lol yeah, that whole thing was the part that made it extreamly tough for me to design it i was like okay lets make this thing based around a Raijin...but keep it as far away from thundurus or tornadus as possiable....i think i semi failed...but im not to sure xD

I can see the monkey resemblance in it.
The hair reminds me of this guy. [link] lol

For some reason it reminds me of the old guy from Bastion.

Awesome

An amazing job on this Fakémon.

The designs is nice. Though I personally find the pose...lacking. I mean he has this nice intimidating face and he looks very strong...but he is just...sitting there...quite casually...idk its probably just me. Your other work has so much momentum to it, I guess its just odd to see something of yours that is so stationary. Anyway its still awesome. Love the color choices. And that tail and the head :3

That's true, this pose is pretty boring. xD
