CAP 13 CAP 2 - Art Submissions

This coocon like pokemon lurks at nights in the depths of the forest leaving a colorful mark everywhere it steps.
This creature feeds itself from every organic compund to its sorroundigs. It usually is seen hanging from a tree upside down disguising himself as part of the tree.This serves it as a camouflage to its enemies and preys.

Altough it should be called a vegetarian, sometimes when the lack of organic compounds is present at its enviroment, it attract prey by using a colorful liquid released from its vines so the prey can come close enough to trap it between its vines, suffocating it and then bury it descomposing it in the soil making it more fertile and feeding this pokemon with the organic energy its unfortunate victime drops. Sometimes they just play with its victim spraying them with the liquid and releasing them, making them more likely to be killed by other pokemons.
Its vines altough big and sturdy are not very strong.

When it has drained all the organical essence the tree and its sorrounding had, it take its vines out of the ground and moves slowly to another space. Very few times they can successfully get to another place since they cant move fast enough to avoid being eaten, and the stored liquid (that its stored in the torns of the vine) its dropped every step making their travel even harder and leaving a distinctive and mostly beautiful colorful image in their way.
This doesnt mean they are slow as a spiky melon, they are kinda fast when moving just the dorsal part of their body.

It uses its wings-like (that are actually claws) to climb trees and as intimidating means. Inside its body theres a large vine that connects its vines with its body. The plasma-like hair its actually a digestive apparatus and a mouth he uses to eat and digest leaves.

These Pokemon are very rare and only found on one remote jungle island. Centuries ago, a tribe of native people lived on this island. In order to defend themselves from dangerous wild Pokemon, they carved statues out of wood to guard their village and scare away intruders.

It was discovered that painting certain patterns on the masks of these statues would give them special properties that allowed them to fend off certain Pokemon. For instance, one variation of design would give a statue the element of Water and made it more effective at warding off Fire Pokemon. The natives eventually created hundreds of different painted designs, each with a different intended effect. The statues were placed all around the village to keep watch.

Hundreds of years later, the natives eventually died out. But because of their funeral rituals, their spirits were preserved inside the bodies of the statues, which remained untouched even if the wood had decayed and their leaf decorations had wilted. And the markings on their heads never faded away, always looking like they had just been freshly painted.

Although they appear to be normal statues, they instantly come alive and attack whenever an intruder wanders into the area. Even to this day, they still continue to protect their little village just as they did all those centuries ago...

As you can see from some of the above images, CAP2 utilizes both its corn kernels and scythes to perform Sketch. When this Pokemon is going to use Sketch, its eyes and scythe symbol glow a bright purple. At this stage, CAP2 stares into the very soul of its target and memorizes every aspect of the move. It can then control its supernatural kernels and scythes to replicate the attack with incredible detail. Although CAP2 is incredibly intelligent, the massive amount of mental space that Sketch takes allows for only one usage. CAP2 doesn't use Sketch lightly, even when unsupervised in the wild and without a trainer. As a result, very few of these Pokemon are seen with a lackluster Sketched move like Tail Whip. In fact, although CAP2 lives in isolation, confrontations with its own type can be legendary; hierarchy is determined by the more powerful and rare Sketch move. Thus, it is highly important for CAP2 to Sketch a move of value. Maybe CAP2 uses Sketch in order to find meaning to its lonely existence in the wild.

I started thinking of the concept since the typing was known. Strangely enough, I never thought about scarescows, possessed wooden logs,… . I couldn’t find a good idea until hippies popped in my head. When I think of hippies, I see a chubby old man with long hear, a headband and an unwashed beard. Maybe I just was thinking too much about Leo from that 70’s show but I liked to make a design similar to that. Somehow I think that hippies are always artistic, so sketch would fit right in.

I doodled a bit and when the stat spread was known, I started making the design. Since I didn’t want a too humanoid design, I could choose any body structure I wanted. I first started with just a sphere but I didn’t like because it was too similar too dusknoir. I made a pearish-body then. I quit liked it but it didn’t really look really Pokémonish then. It also looked like it’s only attack could be body slam :p Finally I came up with the radish-body structure, which I liked. I think it gives the design a lot more of a dynamic look.

It has a lot of aspect of a hippie. Of course flowers, the headband, the beard and the long heard need to be in there.
But I also tried to add the pattern on a tie dye T-shirt and the peacesign (the shape of the flower on the headband).

Aragornbird: The choice of a tikimask looked so obvious and unoriginal. But your design looks so good I didn’t bothered me of that. I think from all the designs, this one come the closest to the stat spread.
Dougjustdoug: I love the design. The only thing that bothers me is that it looks more of a dark/grass typed pokemon.
Wyverii: I love the design. It’s very original and cute. But I think it also looks too much of a dark/grass type.I also think it doesn’t really fit the stat spread.
SoIheardyoulikesentret: I love the design. It fits the stat spread really nice and it looks awesome. But I think the design of the gravedigger looked a bit better.
Puking rainbows: I think this design looks awesome but the paint of the body really bothers me.
Tin: I think the first design looked much better and could be easily adapted to the stat spread. But this design looks really awesome too.
Rotational basis: I really love your design. Somehow, the face looks really cute. I also feel like the most eager to design a prevo for this design.
LouisCyphre: I love the design. The for-legged version looks way better. I would love to see the designs with colors, even though I think it might get to monotone then.
Koa: I think you’re my favorite so far. The design is simple but beautifull. I love the concept. It’s brilliant and it doesn’t look so farfetched.
