Hurdadurdalur.
Thank y'all for the comments, again. ^^ Always appreciated.
Chao: Texturizing, in spite of what you think, isn't exactly my... thing. as far as scales are involved, I prefer to make them very subtle and shade their edges and the points they overlap (the bottom scale shaded a bit darker at that area). Either way I wish you good luck.
RX: Great to hear comments from you again. I don't see Whismur as a bunny (moar like as an abomination of nature. Maybe someday I'll draw that retarded whiny bitch and its 80s-platformer-midlevel-boss of an evolution my style just to see what I'll do with them. XD). Exploud's air vents are indeed linked to its respiratory system according to its 'dex entry and they can both serve as extra air intakes (handy when using a powerful sonic bellow and keeping it going for a long time via air vent breathing) as well as expel air through them in a powerful array of whistle-type sounds. The thing is essentially a walking pipe-organ with a very developed larynx. Ironically, the 'dex entries also identify it as a quiet, calm creature unless it is in battle - which is another reason I like the species so much in comparison to its bitchy noisy pre-evos. xD
How that works anatomy wise is beyond me, but if I'll figure something out I'll be sure to post it.
Rayn: A PokeMon Discworld is a scary though. I mean, The Unseen University as the Palace of the Elite Four. >>; I don't even want to think of what Rincewind would be like as a trainer.
Also, Death with a skeletal Scyther? >>;;
Anyhow... This picture is also not quite thread material, but I figured I might as well post it here anyway as I'm ridiculously proud of this little Shipainter experiment.
... I love Gardenia to pieces. The end
