Fake region 1 based on Central Asia. Alll fakemon and region belong to me.

Grass starter:

Foleq
Evolves at level 14 into Folig
Type:
Ability: Chlorophyll; Overgrow
Pokédex Entry:
Foleq, the Photosynthesis Horse. Foleq live in herds of 20-30 members. They use the leaves on their legs to draw in sunlight to heal, get power, and charge up attacks. In winter, the leaves fall off, only to regrow in the spring.
Fun fact: Their manes are a mixture of hair and bulrush.
Left is male, right is female. Based on kelpie and ancient horse.


Folig
Type:
Ability: Chorlorphyll; Magma Armor
Evolves: Foleq at level 14; Vincae at level 32
Pokédex Entry: Folig, the Photosynthesis Pokemon, and the evolved form of Foleq. Unlike Foleq, Folig are able to harness the sun's energy into fire attacks with their horns. Folig tend to live in mountains where they expertly navigate narrow ledges. It is said they lose their fire-typing on a solar eclipse. When Floig travel, they are able to teleport via flames and their cries bring storms.
Based on unicorn


Vincae
Type:
Ability: Chlorophyll, magma armor
Evolves: Level 32 from Folig
Pokédex Entry: Vincae, the Photosynthesis Horse. Equipped with four wings, this Pokémon can fly at Mach speed 3, able to travel long distances of minutes to hours. They are highly territorial and will fight others until they collapse. Many are often abandoned at this stage due to their aggressive prowess and thus they find it hard to trust trainers. However, once their respect and loyalty are earned, they become cool to the touch. It is believed they were one of the last to be created by Arceus, thus they hold no respect for the creator.
Based on alicorn

Second still life of a couch. I don’t like the arm rests as they gave me some trouble. Did that 2/26/19.

Spoiler: Human Face BK

First time drawing a human portrait. Blodhren Kagore, unborn son of Styx Kagore and Sky Avena. The third youngest child in a litter of four for a werewolf rp. Tried to do some shading on the sides of his face.

Spoiler: Wolf Hunt BK

Blodhren in wolf form hunting a deer to try to impres his father. Don’t like the right antler but left was done perfectly as it is based on a picture on Google. Wolf was a bit of trouble and his eyes are above. I realize he is missing a leg, just assume you can’t see it. Truthfully I got lazy.

 

[scorpiodragon]

Spoiler: Gluoria 001

The Gluoria Region Grass Starter. Based on a koala bear with its height and weight stats.

This one was difficult. Koala bears, for me, that are sleeping are impossible to draw as I cannot get them right but it is a vast improvement from this:



Graola-Grass-Based on Koala Bear

Tasber-Fire-Based on Tasmanian Devil

Aqupys-Water-Based on platypus (the only one of the three I am happy with)

Spoiler: Elemental Wolves Series

First pair of elemental wolves for a book series in future. Two wolves for a series I am writing. The red wolf's element is fire and he is called Kasai, the alpha. The blue wolf is of the water element and her name is Mizu.

Kasai-This is Kasai. He's the alpha of his pack. His element is fire. Human form is a white male with red hair and brown eyes. He has a flame tattoo on his right inner wrist. Kasai is a strong fighter and leader who rules with compassion and kindness but when a member of his pack is attacked he will be the first to retaliate.

Mizu-This is Mizu. Her element is water. Like her element, Mizu is calm and prefers to try to diffuse a situation by talking about it instead of fighting. She's the peacemaker in the pack. Mizu is able to find and draw water from the ground even if the pack is in the desert or the land is suffering from a drought. Mizu's human form is a white female girl with long dark blue hair and light blue eyes. She has a teardrop tattoo on her inner left wrist. Mizu's position in the pack is a scout. Mizu can breathe underwater.

Made with: Wolf Maker Unleashed ~ design and accessorize a custom wolf though if it doesn’t work look for it on deviantart.

The elements are:

• Fire
• Earth
• Water
• Air
• Light
• Spirit (Aether)
• Poison
• Shadow/Darkness
• Space/Time

 

[scorpiodragon]

Evolves: Hoseki at Level 14

Note: Mizu was taken from Kurusu on bulbapedia’s List of unused Pokémon and character designs page. I just changed the color of it’s skin and eyes plus added claws.

These pieces are from my bowl I intentionally shattered with a hammer and will be piecing back together when I go back to Natural Freedom, hopefully in April. Will glue it back together and the entire thing shows that even though there are cracks in one's life, one can still be whole even with those cracks. It sounds a lot better when my Janessa says it.


Supposed to resemble the storm scene of The Chase of my first book in the series, Aventurine of Opportunity. Series is called Jewels of Falaindale.




Dawn on the left and Twilight on the right. I forget the meaning I had behind this. I think it had something to do with change, that even though time is hard, the sun always rises on a new chance to live or something. Sorry, it's been since 2018.


Chey, short for Cheyenne. I didn't have enough room for my good partner horse.


Amicka, my second partner horse. She is really lively and was a nurse mare foal.


I cannot say what this is supposed to symbolize.


The green symbolizes Lady Nitrix (life) and the red symbolizes Lord Vamdes (death). Another relation to Jewels of Falaindale. Lady Nitrix is the mother of all and Vamdes is the father of all. They are brother and sister and from them the Ancient Ones appeared and then the other Gods and Goddesses.

 

[scorpiodragon]

An attempt at drawing Eevee who is Iphiolon 016 pokedex.

 

[scorpiodragon]

My completed bowl. Found out later that I did not paint one side. All well.

 

[scorpiodragon]

An attempt at Seviper. Originally made too fat, then erased and then I realized that I had forgotten coloring a part above his eye. I do not like accordion shaped Pokémon. His body gave me such trouble. He is Iphiolon 028.



Evolves into Bamboa (Poison/Steel) at Level 28

 

[scorpiodragon]

My partner Cheyenne, an American Paint Horse.


I think this is Cookie. Cookie is a mare and Pony of the Americas.


Cheyenne (left) & Cookie (right-I think)




Amicka, my second partner and a mare. She is a Grade/Pinto horse breed & a Nurse Mare Foal. Amicka is really lively and I think the youngest in the herd.

 

[scorpiodragon]

Done with base on Deviantart and colored in paint. It's some of Simba's pride some years after Mufasa's death and Simba running away. Sarafina and Nala will bear cubs for Scar while Abiodun is one of Scar and Naanda's daughters. The other lionesses are those who were in the pride or Scar had his hyenas bring into the pride. Honor of Blood is a WIP and a Lion King fanfic, covering my very big family tree of the kings and queens of the past of Pride Rock.

So I found this, Lion King Base 43, and got an idea into my mind. Scar's pride when he was king.

Any lionesses with black around their eyes are future Outsiders.

From Left to Right starting with back row:

Name: Wasola
Meaning: "Come to Riches" in Yoruba
Parents: Nacash (father), Shanumi (mother)-both deceased
Siblings: Kashimawo (younger brother)-killed by Scar
Cubs: None

Name: Nafisah
Meaning: "precious," "delicate," "gem" in Hausa (possibly from Arabic origin)
Parents: Nomvula (mother), Hami (father)
Siblings: Zira (sister), Jabori (brother)
Cubs: Maimuna (daughter)

Name: Abiodun
Meaning: "Born On A Festival" in Yoruba
Parents: Scar (Father), Naanda (mother)
Siblings: Nala (half-sister), Mheetu (younger brother), Adetoro (sister), Mayowa (sister)
Cubs: None

Front Row Left to Right:
Name: Itunu
Meaning: "Consolation" in Yoruba
Parents: Unknown father, Feyisola (mother/died shortly after Scar took over)
Siblings: None
Cubs: None

Name: Nala
Meaning: "Luck" in Tanzanian
Parents: Naanda (mother), Jenali (father/deceased)
Siblings: Mheetu (younger half-brother), Abidoun, Adetoro, Mayowa (half-sisters)
Cubs: Faraji (son), Nuru (daughter), future mother to Fluffy (son-deceased), Kopa (son), Kiara (daughter), & Kion (son)

Name: Folami
Meaning: "Respect and honor me" in Yoruba
Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Cubs: Expecting

Name: Sarafina
Meaning: "Bright Star" in Swahili (supposedly)
Parents: Athumani (father), Kesi (mother)
Siblings: None
Cubs: Zahara (daughter), Chandu, Elewisa, Asafa, Asani (sons)-both with Scar; Kamari (daughter)-with former mate

This is during the years between Scar taking the throne and before Simba comes back. In my story, Zira is just a loyal follower of Taka/Scar and was never his queen. Scar may be mad but he has enough sense to realize having Zira as queen would be foolish and anyway, he is in love with Marjani (mother to Zuberi and Zuri who are Scar's children). The three outsiders in the picture, yes including Nala's half-sisters' of which two are not pictured, are banished by Simba along with Queen Majarni and all cubs born of Scar/his followers or those pregnant within Zira's pride.

In Honor of Blood, I am going with some information found on the lion king wiki where TLK director said Kovu is an orphan. Vitani & Nuka have the same father. Zira does have children with Scar, three daughters to be precise, who are adolescents by the time the outsiders are banished.

Scar & Naanda's daughters will be banished by Simba when they are born along with Scar and Nala's cubs, Nuru (daughter) & Faraji (son).

Dunsparce
Type:

Height: 4’11” (1.5 m)
Weight: 30.9 lbs (14.0 kg)
Ability: Serene Grace; Run Away
Hidden: Rattled
Evolves: Morvern at Level 20
Pokédex Entry: Dunsparce, the Land Snake Pokemon. Dunsparce uses its tail to dig its elaborate nest. If spotted, this Pokémon escapes by furiously boring into the ground with its tail.

Note: I traced him on my phone as I couldn’t get the head and body right. That is why he is so small.

 

[scorpiodragon]

Burdock is the alpha male of Hibiscus Pack. The Hibiscus Pack on a series of islands and is the southernmost pack in the World. They live on the largest island with a large freshwater lake two miles away and an island of hibiscus flowers growing in the middle of the lake. Burdock has a scar on his left cheek from when he was a pup and got attacked by a rogue wolf and four white stripes on rump along with long white claws. Burdock is a patient alpha who is calm, patient, intelligent and likes pups. He was from a pack that no longer exist in The World called the Eternal Stars and settled in the area one winter. When the snow melted it revealed the beautiful flower field and that is how the pack got its name.

Note: This was done by the wolf maker on wyndbain and is part of my Elemental Wolves series.

Copis ("Cobalus" + "Pispris")
Type:

Ability: Levitate
Hidden: Thick Fat
Height: 8'02" (2.5 m)
Weight: 463 lbs (210 kg)

Copis is not a strong or fast swimmer but can stretch its jaws out like a slingshot and widen them to 111⁰. It sucks prey up whole when prey get close enough before it can escape. The vision of Copis are not good so it depends on its nose to pick up the vibrations of prey.
Evolves: Evolves from Teneel at Level 28

Note: Based on a goblin shark

Notes: The names are somewhat latin. Tenuem is 'small' in Latin.

Cobalus is 'goblin' in Latin & Pispris is 'shark' in Latin.

This is a couple of lions I colored in. The brown female has black paws, a dark gray tail tuft and markings over her turquoise eyes set against light yellow scerla with light yellow undersides, muzzle and inside ears. Her name is Monifa which is Yoruba for "I am lucky". She is greeting her mate, Jengo which is Swahili for "building". Jengo has a black mane with dark blue eyes over gold scerla, a brown nose and silver fur. His undersides and paws are light yellow as are his inner ears. Jengo is a member of the lion guard, the fastest, of King Kamari's reign. Monifa is returning home after a hunt where Jengo has waited anxiously for her when not patrolling the pride lands.

Some background: Kamari was the first to start the Lion Guard, the son of Queen Johari and her mate King Moshi, making Kamari the great great grandson of King Reth. The Lion Guard came about as a result of some rogue lions coming into the territory and trying to take it over, injuring the young king and stealing some of the king's favorite lionesses. A group of loyal lions went looking for the lionesses to bring back to their young leader but they only found one of the lionesses who was severely injured in a fight with them. A few days later they found three others of the king's favorites, two they were unable to find. The three they found had been killed after being bred by the rogues. The lions were never able to find the king's other two lionesses but after that, King Kamari ended up creating the lion guard to help him protect the lands and the pride.

Storm Background: storm

Lion Couple Base: Outsiders-I Missed You

 

[scorpiodragon]

The royal family of Pride Rock. Descended from Queen Johari and King Moshi, Kamari is the great grandson of Queen Kichaka. He has the same coloring as Scar almost with the reddish-brown though his undersides and paws are colored with a dark red nose. Opposite him is his mate and queen, Queen Nya. At their paws are Prince Mohatu and their newborn son Kagiso who would grow up to become the leader of the second generation of the Lion Guard.

Nya has sandy fur with cream undermarkings, tail tuft and paws. Her eyes are purple with yellow scerla and a pink nose, the inside of her ears being light yellow. She was a kind and gentle queen during her reign, serving as King Kamari's confident and bore him two successful and strong heirs.

You can see that Kamari has a red mane, this mane would pass down to Mufasa and Simba. Kamari had orange eyes while Mohatu's eyes are brown and Kagiso's eyes are jade.

Base was colored using Paint. The base itself is here: Create a Pride

 

[scorpiodragon]

I decided to make a picture of Kamari's lionesses to explain the creation of the lion guard better. I used the following bases:

Lioness Lay Base, Pridelander Lioness Base 1, and Lioness Base.

From left to right:

The gold lioness with the tan undersides, red nose, and orange eyes is Nofoto which is Zulu for "like her grandmother". She was a great hunter and mother to two sons named Bonginkosi which is Zulu for "thank the lord", and Shaka who was an African tribal leader. Nofoto was one of the lionesses to be killed by the rogues after being bred. She was four years of age.

The tan lioness with aqua eyes and dark red nose is Yibanathi which is Zulu for "be with us." She was mother to a son named Sizakele which is Zulu for "be helped" and pregnant when she was taken by the rogue males. She was four years old at the time she was taken and was one of the lionesses to never be found.

The red lioness with brown undersides and green eyes is Ayize which is Zulu for "let it happen". She was the oldest lioness of the king's harem, being 6 years and mother of a daughter named Jabulani which is Zulu for "be happy", a daughter named Siphephelo which is Zulu for "place of peace", Hlengiwe which means "redeemed" in Zulu and her twin brother Vusumuzi which is Zulu for "raise the household" and Musawenkosi which is Zulu for "God's Grace". Ayize was one of the three lionesses to be killed and bred by the rogue males.

The black and gray lioness is Buhle which is Zulu for "beauty and goodness." She was the only lioness to be found alive. She went on to give birth to a pair of daughters; Nokuthula "peace and tranquility" in Zulu and Isisa which means "tenderness" in Zulu. She was three.

The orange lioness with gray eyes and light yellow undersides was one of the youngest at two years old, of the lionesses. She was one of the two never found by the group of loyal lions. She is Sizani which is Zulu for "be advantageous". She left behind two male cubs named Bhekizizwe which is Zulu for "looking after the nations" and Askari which means "police". Askari would become the leader of the first Lion Guard. She was two and a half.

The dark brown lioness with gold eyes and tan undersides is Zobuhle, Zulu for "lady of beauty". She was the only lioness not to give King Kamari cubs and the youngest, only eighteen months. King Kamari found her in what would become the outlands and brought her into his harem of lionesses who remained within the main cave with the king and queen and their cubs, the rest of the pride living in another cave. She was the third of the lionesses to be found killed and bred by the lions.

 

[scorpiodragon]

Naanda and Scar's adolescent daughters. They are exiled along with their half-siblings, former queen Marjani, other cubs and Zira with her few followers after Simba returns to Pride Rock and becomes king for being descendants of his uncle and being followers. Naanda resented her cubs for being the product of Scar and thus they migrated to Queen Marjani for affection, it took them by surprise when Simba exiled them with their half-siblings and the other outsiders. Mayowa may look fierce but she is close to her half-brother Nuka and does her best to protect him, not an easy thing when Zira's a crazed follower who went behind Marjani and Scar's back.

Left to Right:

Name: Adetoro
Meaning: "Crown Of Settlement" in Yoruba
Parents: Scar & Naanda
Siblings: Nala (half-sister), Mheetu (half-brother), Asani (brother), Abiodun & Mayowa (sisters)
Cubs: None
Base Used: Lion Base 16

Name: Abiodun

Cubs: Expecting
Base Used: Lion King Base 7

 

[scorpiodragon]

As you can see, I redesigned Nuru a bit. Colored in Paint. Mentioned before, she was Taka's friend and mate as well as mother to his son Sefu. Unlike many Pridelandes, Nuru doesn't have colored paws. She has gold eyes against yellow sclera, silver fur around her muzzle and eyes which make them pop and all white fur. Next to her is her and Taka's son Sefu, pulling on his mother's tail. He takes mostly after his mother but he has chocolate brown undersides, ear rims, muzzle and paws while his eyes are the same lime green of his father and tan inside ears with his mother's white pelt covering his own body. This was the last time mother and son were seen alive by Taka, the next time he would see them was when he found their bodies.

Nuru would be honored by Taka years later when Nala and Scar's daughter was named after her. Sefu was a mix of his mother's and father's personalities. The true prince to the throne, Sefu and Nuru wouldn't get to see the sun rise the next day for they were murdered by Mufasa to become king of the Pridelands for there is a forgotten law in the Pridelands. While tradition dictated the firstborn child was to become ruler, another child could become king or queen if they produced a heir, a law that Ahadi had absolved and forbid mention of when Uru was made to bring her sole surviving cub with her back to Pride Rick after he killed her other three cubs. Ahadi, who had always neglected Taka and favored Mufasa didn't see Taka as king material for his scrawny appearance and sought to destroy any chance that could make Taka as the next ruler of the Pridelands instead of his chosen son.

Base Used: lioness and playful cub by Maisha-Iris

[scorpiodragon]

Name: Kasai (‘fire’ in Japanese)
Ospar Dex: 004
Type: Fire type
Ability: Blaze
Hidden: Flash Fire
Height: 2’00” (0.6 m)-female/3’07” (1.1 m)-male
Weight: 17.6 lbs (8.0 kg)-male/11.0 lbs (5.0 kg)-Female
Evolution: Ashfall at level 18

Pokédex Entry (anime/manga): Kasai, the Scorch Bear Pokemon. Kasai are adaptable creatures and tend to be docile, making them underestimated by human and Pokémon alike. These Pokémon tend to live all over in a variety of environments and only attack when threatened. The fur of Kasai’s lime is highly prized for its ability to stave off the bitter winters in the mountains and often traded with people of Zashil and Iphiolon.

Pokédex Entry 1 (games): Kasai, the Scorch Bear Pokemon. Their fur is invulnerable to fire and quite warm. When they gather together, heat wafts can offer their backs and mists the air. Scientists speculate Kasai came from a forgotten or destroyed region.

Pokédex entry 2 (games): Its flames are powered by an internal flame sack. It’s thought that Kasai’s flame sack was developed to help it survive the ice age that hit it’s former region and during it’s migration.

Notes: Males have yellow eyes and black-brown fur. Females have orange eyed and red fur. They are based on the Spectacled Bear but coloring and part of the design was based on the original fire starter of Pokémon gold beta. Can be found via Bulbapedia’s page on unreleased Pokémon designs.

Kasai & it’s evolutions are not in Zashil or Iphiolon. Rather their skins are taken from hunted bears, which are also eaten by mountain communities due to the rich meat and fat, and shipped off to Zashil, Iphiolon and the north and west Ubrium.
