Sprite Discovery Discussion

The new fakemon oddly reminds me of Crystalbeard Uraagaan from Monster Hunter. Here its is That crystal thing is his chin. put crystals all over him and you now have a Pixrine... kinda.

It is so cute! I need 500 of them!

Am I the only one who thought it would be a bee Pokemon when they first saw the egg? For some reason that egg screams Vespiquen to me. Not sure what I feel about Pixrine. It's just kinda weird.

Welp, I wanna see concepts xD I can't tell what kind of animal/creature that it's supposed to be based on, but it looks really cool!

okay but which one of you is the voltron fan? >.> <.< i can't remember the name of it, but there's a creature the size of a planet with crystals growing from it's back..

It looks like some kind of ambush predator you'd find deep in caves where people tried to mine for jewels. I'm into it!

Ohhh yeah, Mouse, it's kinda like a Balmera :') I was feeling kind of impartial about it but now I like this guy a whole lot more!

that's the name! i watched it not long ago, i should remember these things >.< and yeah, i like blue so i'm going to hunt it eventually xD

Haha! I'm wicked glad you guys seem to like the design! This is another of my concepts (although Novie and her amazingness helped bring it to life.) To answer your questions: No it's not based on the Balmera No, it's not based on anything from Voltron It's not even really based on any specific animal, it's based on an idea. See, the idea I had wanted, was basically a monsterous jewel or gem creature. Something big (or big-ish) that had an affinity for shiny stones and gems/crystal formations. I started doodling, and thus, pixrine was born. It was originally going to eat the gems and they would then grow from its body, but we felt that was too much like sableye, so that idea was pitched. It does hoard the gems, and its favorites are kept close, the sprite actually has it clutching a large crystal. Pixrine is supposed to be this big (it's about as tall as a human), hulking kind of creature that just lumbers through caves going about its day. It's only heavily agressive when its gems are threatened. Think kind of how an elephant or rhino is generally seen as a passive creature until you make it mad. Concept art: Original Design Novie from this, did help me make it more pokemon-esque, and you can see that it did change some. Novie's concept/pokemonifying Arms/front feet were changed to kind of be a hybrid of the two. Original sprite concept Novie did the lines (and shaded the gems) on the sprite onsite from this. (I don't think I have to say this, but just because this sprite wasn't used, doesn't mean you can use it. I'm posting it to show you guys, not so it can be recolored. Thank you) Fun fact: Pixrine's name is a combo of "pixie" and "citrine", which is why it has yellow crystals. Citrine is a yellow gem. :3 Did I miss any questions? Are there more questions? no, I'm not having fun answering these and smiling like an idiot, why do you ask?

Well, I actually love this little fella a lot! Maybe when the prices go down, or I get a good amount of GP, I can make a hoard of gem hoarders :P
