How do I design genwun-style fakemons?

Lots of rough edges and triangle, angry eyes. Make them look like kaijus

>>33021224
Get an animal.
Draw scary spikes
Give cute anime eyes to it or angry eyes if it is the evolved form.
???
Profit!

Gen 1 eyes

either use triangle eyes or eyes similar to what charmander/squirtle/eevee have

make it an ambiguous creature usually with reptilian traits, don't just make a cartoon version of an animal

use more realistic anatomy/detail

>Eyes
The most common and easy genwun eyeshape is the angry eye, consisting of a triangle that conveys a pissed off expression. If you are going for a somewhat unique expression, your resources amount to beady eyes, goggly eyes, lines for eyes that must feel as if they were closed (abra, gloom, snorlax) or cartoon "white circle with dot" eyes. On the other extreme, if you want your mon's eyes to convey cuteness, you have the "eevee eye", as I call it (fully black eye with shines, you can also find it in vulpix, dewgong, dragonair, charmander, etc.). Finally, there's a variant of the eevee eye, the "squirtle eye", which is somewhat of an arc-shaped eye with a full pupil+iris inside. Dragonite and squirtle have these.

>Horns, spikes and fangs
There's no such thing as too many horns and spikes. If your mon's head is flat, it is lacking a horn. What is it there for? doesn't matter, but it needs it. If you can put spikes on the back of your mon and other body parts then you're in the correct path. Also, make sure your mon has fangs that stick out of its mouth when closed. Make the body look rough and full of lumps if you're going for a mon that must feel like it is sturdy or hard-bodied, like kingler, geodude or rhydon.

>Ears
Your standard must be the "jigglypuff ear". A triangle-shaped ear with its insides painted black or a dark brown. On the other side of the spectrum you have the "swirl ear", which is just a spiral fluff. Slowpoke, lapras, etc. have these. Try experimenting with variations of the jigglypuff ear, they usually look good.

>Snouts, tongues and noses
If your mon has a snout, as long as it has 2 small dots for the nostrils and visible fangs, you're doing it right. Sometimes you might want to draw a pink sticky tongue; just make sure your mon is supposed to look derp-ish, and if that's the case, the tongue will look great on it. If your mon doesn't have a snout, stick a big, round pink nose to it!

>Hidden body parts
If your mon is based on something from real life that usually has a part of it in the shadows and/or not visible (or if you want to give the impression the interior of a mouth is wide and deep), as a genwun, you represent this with a solid, detailess black color on that bodypart. You can see examples of this in tangela, jynx, golbat, tentacool/cruel and victreebel.

>Claws and paws and hand and feet
If your mon has to have hands, you can use 3, 4 or 5 fingers. You can also go for a "mitten hand", which consists of the thumb and the rest of the fingers fused into a palm. You'll see mitten hands in things like primeape or hitmonchan. Appendages that are featureless, like stubby arms with no hands, will need small conic claws, 3 are usually alright (see: slowbro, dragonite, etc.). For feet, if your mon is a bird, make semi-realistic bird legs with claws and everything. If not, go wild! from stubs to shoe-like feet to "T"-shaped to stubs with a single conic claw or two, genwun feet are very diverse. As a rule of thumb, you can't go wrong with featureless stubs that end with 3 white claws (snorlax, golem and dragonite show this very well)

>Wings
If you're making a bird mon, you'll want to make the long flight feathers visible and detailed. Search for artwork of bird mons flapping their wings, and compare the wings of something like fearow to those of something like pikipek to get an idea of the differences. Make the lines rough here and there to indicate messy feathers. For non-bird non-bug wings, use bat wings. For bug wings, look at actual real life insect wings and artworks of beedrill, venomoth, and so on. Make them look aerodynamic with round shapes and a lot of straight lines within to represent the veins of a real insect wing.

Literally Unovabortion

Think like Rumiko Takahashi and Akira Toriyama (before DBZ). Gen 1 pokemon had that 80s influence to it and even Ken Sugimori said Akira was a big influence to his early style.

>no horn
It's shit

>>33021251
Rhydon with other stuff on it

>>33021224
>Dragonball Z eyes, unless it isn;t evolved
>Mostly 1 color, with details in another, complimentary color
>Horns/spikes/miscelaneous skin tags
>Claws, possibly even in place of digits, if not entire graspers
>Teeth must be visible and prominent, if present.
>Whatever design you come up with, nudge it a bit more reptilian/amphibian.
>If you are stuck with something that doesn't look like a living thing, give it happier, upside-down "U" eyes and make it pink. Imagine you gave it +30 in its HP stat.
>Alternatively, if you have something that clearly isn't an animal, look around your house for something with a similar silhouette, then add the requisite "theming" danglies.

Make it fat, give it some spikes, and give it DBZ eyes. Be sure to make it look mad.
