Pokemon Worldbuilding; The Crown Tundra King & His Knights

In centuries long ago, the Darkest Day raged and ravaged the Galar region, when heros took up sword and shield. Beside Zacian, Zamazenta, and the human heros, was the Fae prince Calyrex. The prince stood beside the heros, healing them as the battle raged. As the battle came close, Calyrex suffered a grievous injury, fleeing to where Eternatus would not follow.

Calyrex was found by the nomadic people of the Samhain Tundra–the lands ravaged by bitter cold, where the snow is all that comes. While their wounds healed, they were witness to the most destructive of the Tundra’s natural forces; the wild horses of Spectrier and Glastrier. With the help of the people, Calyrex obtained the hair from each horse while providing a flower made from their Fae magic. Together, the Reigns of Unity were weaved, allowing for the Fae prince to ride and tame the wild forces. Now with incredible power at their paws, Calyrex sped across the Samhain Tundra, pushing back the neverending snowfall.

The nomadic people were grateful, and dubbed Calyrex the King of the Tundra, giving the lands a new name–the Crown Tundra. In further gratitude, the people took to the mountain peak, where a sacred tree grew, of Fae origin, and built a shrine fit for their King. Each year, a festival was held, each person recreating the Reigns of Unity with common materials, to remember their connection to Calyrex–the unity between people and Pokemon. Alongside, great harvests of carrots for the King and steeds.

As years drew on, Calyrex worked their magic to create guardians for the lands, against the Evil that lurked in the dark. Though a King of the land, they were still a Fae, vulnerable to the Unseelie courts. Thus, created a trio with a unique trait each; a will of iron, a fortitude of stone, a swiftness of wind, birthing the Galarian Justice Trio. No force of the Unseelie would stay long.

Time continued onward, with centuries of bounty. Over the years, traditions slowly faded. And atop the Crown Shrine, unseen in years, the Reigns of Unity broke. Calyrex, alone, retreated into the sacred tree, falling comatose. Without a master, the destructive hearts of Spectrier and Glastrier were set loose. In their flurries, they destroyed 5 human settlements within the Crown Tundra. With the King’s magic cut, the Galarian Justice Trio fell into a state between life and death. Their honorable Fighting Type decaying into a mindless Poison–Cobalion’s iron rusted, Terrakion corroded, and Virizion rotted. Trapped in motionless heaps, aware, as their bodies and minds decomposed.

The deep winter slowly returned over the centuries, until all that is left is the sole town of Freezington.

Upon Calyrex’s return to power, the Galarian Justice Trio are slowly reawakening. All that remains now is a hate, and unyielding urge, to hunt anyone, anything, that carries the Dark Type.

Hi! I really liked your last tips with shading and I know it's not really your thing with giving tips. But do you think you have any tips for anatomy or posing? I just really like how you can draw different characters in different sizes and shapes .I absolutely love them.💙

It took me over a year to think about how to answer to this question, so sorry for the super late reply! 😅

Leaving the obvious “study anatomy” aside, a very useful tip is to base your characters on simple shapes (and don’t add too many details! You can do that later!)

This not only applies to body shape but can also be applied to faces! it’s a great way to draw different types of people!

But let’s move on to the pose. The secret is all in the line of action! It usually follows the spine and helps to make the pose more dynamic and less static. It’s more easy to see in creatures without legs or with a tail!

(For those who view the post through the tumblr app: the post continues, but for some mysterious reasons it can only be viewed on the PC or via your mobile browser. Sorry for the inconvenience. 🙄)

Another important element is the rhythm. Unfortunately it’s a concept that I can’t explain very well, so I’ll try to draw it. XD

See how in the left arm the lines alternate between straight and curved? This is an important element to give rhythm to the figure and support the line of action (which can also be seen in this arm)! Instead look at how stiff the arm on the right is with all these straight lines!

The line of action gives you a general direction, while the rhythm helps canalize it through the use of lines!

But let’s take an example. I will use this drawing I made in 2008. Look how horribly ugly stiff it is!

Let’s try to redraw it using the line of action and giving it some rhythm!

Much better! ✨

If you want to study in deep the topic of line of action and rhythm I recommend to look at Glen Kane’s art! 

Finally the best advice of all: save a lot of drawings by the artists you love the most and trace them. Let me be clear: DON’T POST THEM ANYWHERE. This is just an exercise! Trace them, but think well about each line you trace. Why was this arm put like this? Why is this pose so effective? Trace and analyze the line of action and the rhythm! 

Eventually you will notice how much your art will improve! ^^

I hope this will be helpful! ^^

Soooo sweet 🤩

I had this hc for Principal and Playtime

Playtime is very concious about her eyes and cries about it, Principal knows about her conciousness and he will do his “Black eyes” too to make Playtime happy, he can do it for a whole day for her.
