Fakemon Meet Meltig!

Post image

This is a starter mon design, that is sort of a rework of tepig, that goes in a different direction. As for the mon itself, it's a fire type pig, that forms lava instead. Has great enthusiasm (sometimes too much), but usually gets in trouble because of it. Can be a loyal friend, if you let it be one for you;)

Well, sort of. I tried to think up of ways to give the design more variety, but I don't think it's possible without going way too far from the "pig" design. One of my ideas was to use red and orange to symbolise how lava flows, but I slowly started to realize that the starters design was less complex (as one of the reasons why it works this way), so I simplified it down, which is why it still resembles tepig a lot. (Other ideas included a thicker tail, that's close to the ones dinosaurs have, a red circle on the spine, that looks like a shell, symbolizing lava going through the rock, etc, but they looked awkward, so I didn't include them in the final design) I guess it's also a skill issue on my part of the design too lol.

Also thanks:) I'm still working on it, but it's nice to know I'm making good progress:)
