Oh, really like that description. The 19th century works have some distinct charm. Sadly, because a lot of such works are forced to study at schools, where children are mostly just unpreapred and unable to see all the deatils, simply because they're young, therefore can't fully appreciate the writing. But then later in life it's fun to read actually!
Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!
Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.
Hey, that’s me
This looks so nice! Not very vibrant but still colourfull palettes. Love this

#543 - #544 - #545. As Venipede evolves, its carapace becomes a dull cocoon as its insides liquify, and if anything tries to break it, it'll stab them aggressively until dead. It regains its lustrous carapace after evolving and becomes docile, giving rides to smaller pokémon and humans it meets.

I had a pretty solid idea for scolipede itself: Make it more buggy, reference centipede anatomy, but keep its horse whimsy. I did many study of centipede faces and anatomy to figure out how to place their antennae and ultimate legs (thats what the final pair of legs that look like antennae on the end of centipedes is named!). I wanted to keep some of the horn shapes, and also have the tail look like a false head like it does in many centipedes.
The weird eye shape of these guys is referencing the ocelli of centipedes: forming compound eyes. The spikes are actually referencing a milipede instead of a centipede, Desmoxytes purpurosea, who have big pink spikes. The empty spot is meant to look like a little saddle :) and the difference in color is because i think bright green feels more toxic paired with red than the greyish purple the canon one has.
venipede was easy, adapting the canon simplicity and then just adding some centipede anatomy like the antennae below the carapace.
whirlipede however, was pretty annoying. I didnt know what to do with it! i didnt want to just make a wheel but didnt want for it to just look like a venipede curled up. i decided to go the cocoon route: the carapace is protecting the goo inside. centipede dont go through cocoon phases but shhh. made it dull to keep its unique color from the rest of the line that the canon one has.
the suffering never ends
Really like this.
I like how most of the game is black and white, but the fandom decided to colour it. Make the whole world bright again.
Thank you for using more colours than just the well known red. Looks good <3
catharsis.
wanted to do some studies of their faces so I could get used to their features! it was really fun breaking their designs down :)
maybe when the game releases I’ll be able to do proper guides for their faces at all angles lol
