It's a bloody sword. If you want to make it a living animal, have it be like a stick insect or somehting. The wings are just weird.

Reptiles that happen to resemble sharks or sharks that adapted to land. What's your headcanon?

>>26361935

It's alright

>>26362919
I say that their ancestors were reptilians that had similar features to sharks, and that they adapted over millions of years into the draconic bipedal landshark lookalikes of today. In the real world, some ancient reptilians actually shared some features with sharks, mainly the tails.

To all those who think it's weird having a Pokemon based on an inanimate object becoming an animal in one of these drawings:
Naturalism is a subset of realism where fictional things based on inanimate objects are portrayed as animals.
DEAL WITH IT!

>>26363086
Adding to definition: This counts for things based on shit like dragons too and ambulatory cacti too.

>>26363021
Since Garchomp and Hippowdon were both introduced at the same time and both are Ground types despite their basis being on water animals I always had a theory.
Basically, their original habitat was filled with water but after a long time the water dried up creating a desert-like environment. because of that, the pokemon there quickly adapted to live on land and obtained the Ground typing

The reason the dude's art irks me is because literally every realistic Pokémon gets ruined by people flooding the threads with his shitty "realistic" art. Arvalisfags can't go one realistic Pokémon thread without it.

His art is actually pretty decent. I can imagine you getting upset about them being posted too often, but most of the complaints are just that they are not how you imagine the pokemon to be.

>>26363536

His drawing skills are high quality but his art is all shit. If you want to "reimagine" a lamp as a jellyfish, fine, but don't call it "realistic" and don't post it in realistic Pokémon threads.

>>26363693
I have no problem with inanimate object based pokemon, but a flying jellyfish sure as hell is more realistic than a living lamp.
I honestly think it's neat how he finds ways how some of the more outlandish pokemon could exist in real life.

>>26363749
His excuse for a Chandelure COULDN'T exist in real life.

Jellyfish can't fly, they quickly die out of water because that's what they're mostly made of.

And they still create spectral looking fire. How the fuck do you explain that? If ghosts don't exist, how is this ghostly fire being creatd in the first place?

>>26363173
>>26363432
>>26363620
I can tell you that it's not just Arvalis that uses real animals in place of inanimate objects and such. There's a whole sub-community on Deviant Art for it.
Personally, I like to see how creative people can get to justify some of the stranger designs for pokemon with actual animals.

>>26363894
It is still more realistic than a living lamp.

>>26363933
>like to see how creative people can get to justify some of the stranger designs for pokemon with actual animals
This. For example using litwick as a polyp stage for the jellyfish lampet is genius.

>>26363749
I gotta agree with >>26363894 here. His choices for changes are quite inconsistent. It's one thing to reimagine Hypno as a proboscis monkey or something, but Chingling into a frog? It doesn't make a lick of sense.

>>26363579
>>26363549
>>26363972
Why are they so big

>>26363894
>How the fuck do you explain that?
Well if you actually bothered to check the actual deviantart page he actually has descriptions for the pokemon.
For instance, Lampent float because they have gas sacks and they also have bioluminescence which jellyfish actually have.
>Jellyfish can't fly, they quickly die out of water because that's what they're mostly made of.
It's called adapting to a new environment. It's not like they just jumped out of the ocean and started floating around. It's supposed to have happened over a long period of time.

Coming up with scientific reasons of how pokemon might be able to work in real life is also a part of the sub-community I talked about here >>26363933

>>26363966
It's his reimaginings. It's not like he is trying to create the new canon Pokemon.
Making chingling into a frog was an interesting choice, but there isn't necessarily anything wrong with it.

>>26364016
>Lampent float because they have gas sacks

it's interesting in the same way tumblr artists draw 'muslim black transgirl sephiroth'

>>26360958
I mean it doesn't look good.

>>26364185
So you're saying it's fine and harmless, as long as it's not being stated as the one true canon.

>>26364101
Well it's not supposed a fucking jellyfish that's alive today. It's supposed to be one that's evolved to have these traits.

>>26364817
May as well make it a fucking alien at that point.

>>26361800
Milotic as an Oarfish, never thought of it like that.

>>26360958
>>26360974
>>26361054
that are some lovecraftian pokis

>>26363480
But a land-dwelling octopus with a tree as armor or a flying jellyfish is suddenly realistic. Sure.

>>26364834
The whole point is try and find a way that these pokemon could fit in the real world. If you had to pick an animal and not have something like literal spirits possessing things then I'd say a jellyfish is a pretty good match.
And what's so bad about a gas sack? Fish have swim bladders that help them float, who's to say a billion years down the line it won't evolve into something that could hold gasses that would let it float? And why can't another animal evolve something similar. Especially if its a jellyfish that went down that evolutionary path a long time ago, not just current jellyfish spontaneously doing it.
Of course it's not supposed to be literally scientifically accurate, but it's supposed to be more so than just a possessed lamp that evolved from a candle.

>>26365041
If you're going to make up alien-like animals you might as well say "well in the future lamps come alive and start attacking humans!" They're equally believable if we're talking about the amount of time it takes for a brand new species unlike anything the world currently has to evolve.

>>26363966
Chingling was made into a frog because a frog matches its shape the best while still being an actual living thing.

I don't see what's inconsistent about it. He makes inanimate object Pokemon into animals with a similar shape and he chooses similar animals for Pokemon already based on animals. I don't get why people complain about NOT MUH REALISTIC LIVING LAMP in every one of these fucking threads.

>>26365066
Yes, because lamps coming alive is equally realistic as sacks of gas. You completely proved your point.

>>26365103
>I don't get why people complain about NOT MUH REALISTIC LIVING LAMP in every one of these fucking threads
Because they are autistic and can't handle change, even is someone's fanart.

>>26365134
It's billions of years, who is to say we don't get species made out of metal, glass and fire who look exactly like lamps? It's realistic.

>>26362599
awwww

>>26365169
Because Arvalis's thing is to use inspiration from real life animals.

>>26365199
And in billions of years lamps and chairs can be animals.

>>26365169
Because yet again, the point is to have some real world basis. A species made of metal, glass, and fire? Sure, whatever. But then what species did it evolve from? It would have to have evolved from some already existing animal and therefore nothing really changes except maybe looking a bit more like the original design.

>>26365222
>some real world basis

What real world animal creates fire from their insides?

>>26362065
Can somebody get me a fug version?

>>26362919
Sharks.
The reason they fly so fast is because they need to to get enough air passing over their gills.

>>26360865

>"realistic"
>looks like nightmare fuel

If they were realistic, they would at least look semi-cute. Real life cats, owls, and seals aren't that awful looking.

>>26365239
The actual animal is supposed to be the real world basis. The traits are what's different. In the description given, Lampent isn't even stated to have fire. It's up to the creator to come up with whatever explanation of how or even if they can shoot fire or electricity.

Can confirm.

If it's not ghostly, and doesn't have fire, how the fuck is it even a Lampent?

>>26361899
that is horrifying

>>26365312

Even those owls are cute, they still don't look like nightmare fuel at all.

There are some real life animals that are scary as fuck, but owls, cats, and seals are at worst just "ugly".
Now if someone made a scary wasp version of Beedrill or some shit, that fits. Wasps are scary fuckers and they are not cute in the least bit. But making everything look uncanny valley shit that is only found in nightmares is not being realistic. That's a style in itself, not the same as realism.

>>26365334
Go to bed Arvalis

>>26365382
So what's the consensus on ghosts?
Were all ghost Pokemon once people? Or when a psychic type dies does it's esp live on as a ghost type?

>>26365399

There is no consensus on ghosts, because not all ghost types have the same origin.

>>26365399
Ghost Types being actual ghosts is a myth. They are called ghosts because they are wispy and shit.
Or because they eat spirit energy or something.

>>26364009
Because kaiju are cool.

>>26365103
A frog doesn't even match its shape the best.

A fish does.

>>26365639
>A ball
>with two rope-like things coming out of the sides
What fish looks like that?
A frog also has a pretty similar mouth

>>26365877
the rope thing comes out its rear, dingus.

think tailfins.

>>26365891
But rope shaped fins wouldn't work at all for swimming underwater. And there aren't any other features on Chingling that could be turned into fins other than tiny little nubs for hands and feet. those certainly wouldn't make very good fins either.

>>26366050
kingyou goldfish have the proper finshape for the interpratation and is certainly much less of a stretch than a bat gastly.

you could stop sucking arvalis' dick any time mate.

>>26365103
>>26365149
Because in a series with ghosts, gods, and goblins around every corner, you come to expect some element of the fantastic in any interpretation.

>>26366084
>kingyou goldfish have the proper finshape for the interpratation
I suppose it could work, but those fins don't look like ropes at all. They could be made to look like that, but until I can see an example myself I'd go with the frog version as a closer representation.
It goes to show that there can be several different interpretations to what it could be. You shouldn't get hung up in any specific one.
>certainly much less of a stretch than a bat gastly.
And what would you propose? It was made in a way where I can easily recognize it as the ghastly line so I don't see how that makes it some big stretch.

>you could stop sucking arvalis' dick any time mate.
Hey, I much prefer regular realistic versions of pokemon that don't try to link to real animals all the time myself, but I can also enjoy this kind of interpretation as well.
Literally any realistic pokemon drawing is going to be the interpretation of the artist. I don't see why someone having a specific theme that they follow for their interpretations should be called shit just for that.

>>26366135
not when the interpretation is realism.

>>26361040
Have you even bothered to look at Zapdos? It DOES have a big head and stubby everything else.

>>26366255
How is a mite which attaches to and, apparently, telekinetically controls a sword to attack more realistic than said sword being possessed by a vengeful ghost?

>>26361395
We Miyazaki now

>>26363145
That's pretty good

>>26361057
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

>>26366365
>I am a complete retard at interpreting images and I have no fear to show it

Arvalis's Honedge is obviously a bug all the way, where the fuck did you even get that description?

>>26360974
>Beelzebub Giratina
PERFECT

>>26365312
WHAT THE FUCK

>>26367226
Not that anon, but the "honedge line as mites" is from another artist. catandcrown, I think.

>>26365399
>>26365429
>>26365445
My theory based on some dex entries and the fact turnback cave is said to connect the living and the dead when it actually connects to the disortion wold is that they are extra dimensional pokemon that are from there, but can pass into normal reality via there and other locations said to be haunted.

>>26360810
>yveltal

One fucking job

>>26360881
This both inspires and upsets me because this person's art style is similar to mine and is pretty much EXACTLY the direction I was trying to take mine towards in terms of realistic/cartoony balance and style, now i'll just feel like a massive copycat. Fuck

It's loosely based on a kookaburra, they have kinda goofy proportions, big heads and big beaks.

>people bitching about someone not being able to make a haunted ghost sword realistic.

Insect honestly works really well. Antennae for the sash, a fake eye for spooking predators, long silver abdomen resembles a sword. What the fuck else he gon turn it into, a lizard?

This is so gross.

Why does /vp/ have to bitch about Arvalis whenever he gets posted.

I don't like this because the head and forelimbs are literally Lagiacrus' and the tail is just Gravios.
I really wish he did original Monster Hunter designs, but I guess there's just not enough money there.
His designs are amazing half the time, but it's too bad retards like >>26363432 and >>26361221who don't into speculative biology just assume he's retarded and shit all over him in his DA feedback.
I do agree that the birds get real old real quick, though.

>>26361766
Because they're good UNLESS they're actually not edgy enough most of the time and real life can't be overdesigned, anon.

>>26361129
>Why the fuck is this an insect
>It should have been this kind of insect

>>26361094
You're missing the point. Avralis is looking at the series of what are basically wild animals who fight and imagining them as actual fucking animals in a realistic, non-magical world. In no such world would a Lamp up and get spooky.
>>26362058
His interpretations are amazing for the limitations he's set for himself, which is to say possible but potentially outlandish, while basing them on real animals because it would remove the point if he could just do asspulls like making up an entire Class of animals.

>>26361428
Literally say your favorite threads and I'll tell you why they're cancer.
McFucking kill yourself.

>>26361235
Monster Hunter is realistic you faggot.
It's in a world with lessened gravity and higher oxygen content.
Elder Dragons are the exception, though.

>>26362224
Still the cutest starter,

>>26361278
It's likely based on Bobbit worms, which would traditionally be Bugs in pokemon. I don't see the problem.

IDK man, the series was conceptualized by an autistic biology fetishist, so I just think that fleshing the fuck out of them to point of its being a science is the next logical step you had no target audience

>>26364888
I always thought that it goes from being a herring to a king-of-herring (the largest kind of oarfish), but it might just be that Oarfish fry look plain. On the other hand, I really doubt they'll ever refer to fish fry, crab larvae, or any other type of zooplankton because nobody ever does. Hell, most people don't even know they exist.
