A fire type starter of my own creation

[PDL]

I haven't really been drawing that much, what with my job, writing Sabrina's Story and the fact that my computer's so damn bad it takes more then half an hour to scan a single picture. So there hasn't been much motivation to draw stuff.

Anyway, I drew this a while back, it's a made up starter that's based on a monkey, I closely studied how Ken Sugimori designs pokemon and noticed several key things about their designs.

Regretably, it isn't coloured, it's game stats haven't been figured out, nor does it even have a proper name, but it's based on a golden lion tamarin.

Monk monk! Looks more grass type to me. *thinks* cute none the less!

 

[Hoenir]

coloring wish granted. just shade it yourself

 

[PDL]

mmm... not bad colouring... although I kinda pictured it having a bit more red on the body fur and it's tail...

it's still better then if I coloured it.

 

[~*Nobody*~]

It looks odd, and really Monkey like though! The colored one looks cool though.

 

[zuloon]

It looks too fat...
Like Eggman...fat body, spidery-thin arms.
*shivers*
=ugly

Anyway, cool Fire Monkey drawing, PDL

The flames on the shoulders and thighs kinda look like armor attachments... And the nose looks like a pig's snout. Maybe you could try arching the bottom of the nose downward?

Awww, but the wide eyes look cute and it really looks like a monkey, though a bit on the chubby side ^^;;;

yeah, it's nose does look a bit too much like Mankey's nose... perhaps I should put the nostrils in a different position? I know new world monkeys like Marmosets actually have their nostrils pointing out the sides of their noses, rather then in front like old world monkeys and apes, or downward like in humans...

and I kinda imagined the whole evolutionary line being somewhat chubby, or "robust".

I think it looks perfect, just is missing two things: WINGS AND A FEZ CAP

what I can be a fan of The wizard of Oz can't I?

Maybe the belly could be colored like the 'flames' on its head and the armor like colorations on its shoulders/thighs. But if not that's fine. o.o nose seems fine to me too. But yeah, that's just my opinion.

 

[Divine_Light]

Looks good but the colour one is better

 

[.Bambi.]

It's pretty good, but, I don't know, it seems a little basic.
Like, a monkey with some flames on it. Don't get me wrong, but there's something just not Pokemony about it. Maybe the eyes. Make the eyes more like Pokemon eyes, and it should be fine.

Fly my pretties FLY!

*fire monkey used FLY* XD

I was thinking more that the fur on his back and sides could be red to create a "reverse flame" design...

It's pretty good, but, I don't know, it seems a little basic.

it is a basic pokemon after all XD

Like, a monkey with some flames on it. Don't get me wrong, but there's something just not Pokemony about it.

To be kinda honest, I was avoiding adding actual flames to it because that's already been done by both Charmander's tail and Cyndaquil's flame spines, I was going for something a bit more unique (kinda like Torchic's crest which kinda resembles a stylized flame)

so I gave it fur that kinda resembles fire as well, even the tail's supposed to resemble a stylized flame, unlike Charmander's tail, it's made up of fur rather then actual flame. Although it may have something to do with the fact that I don't draw fire in the same way Ken does XD

Maybe the eyes. Make the eyes more like Pokemon eyes, and it should be fine.

maybe it is the eyes as well, but then again, nearly every pokemon eye is different from one another in some way... kinda... and I admit, I haven't had much practice with drawing anime-style eyes.

Cool... But I agree with Nintendo 6444. It would look better as a grass monkey IMO. If you want you can try coloring the fire part green.

Hows about we keep it as a fire starter

It's not a grass type. At all. Don't suggest what type it is.

It looks like Aipoms evo. If it had one.

it looks absolutely nothing like Aipom.

just because it's based on the same animal, doesn't mean they're related.
