Maple Decidueye

First up is our lovely, classic Quilladin. It reminds me of the black walnuts from a tree near my house, just a lovely round green boy with a nice dark brown body. Just a sweet little guy. I wanna give him a hug.

Next up is a little sweetheart, water type Quilladin! I really wanted to make it invoke waves and sea life while also just being a cute little fella, and I think it looks nice. For the shell, I actually thought of a shark egg case that I saw once, and I think turned out well.

The first is a classic grass type Chespin. Chespin is such a cutie, just a fluffy, leafy little guy who is so excited to see you! I want to give him a hug and a little kiss on the head. Also, his little hood <3.

Next up is my personal favorite, water type Chespin. I gave it fluffy cheeks to look a little bit like waves, and a stripe of fur on its head to mimic the fins of a fish. I also gave it little scale-shaped markings to make it seem more aquatic. I think it looks really cute and soft.

First, we have our classic slippery rogue, water type Greninja. This is honestly one of my favorite Pokémon, it just has a very sleek design and gives me good vibes. I love the scarf that looks like a tongue, very cute. Fun fact to notice, unlike the previous evolutions, Greninja's eyes are pink, so I had to choose new eye colors for the other two variants as well.

Next up is our little leaf warrior, grass type Greninja! I struggled on this one the most, since I wanted to find a way to make the horns more natural-looking. I eventually decided on horns that masquerade as branches, which I do think looks nice. This version of Greninja has more of a cloak than a scarf, and has kneepads that look like insects.

Finally, we have our flashy fighter, fire type Greninja. It took me a bit to decide on the design of the scarf, as I wanted to go one step above fire type Frogadier's fire scarf, and I eventually came to blue fire as an interesting expansion on that idea. I think it looks really nice in the end. For the kneepads, I went with gemstones, since I think that works nicely with a fire Pokémon.

First up is our classic, water type Frogadier. I think that this design is objectively cool and sleek, it almost looks like it could be a final evolution all its own, though I am very happy for Greninja's existence. My favorite part is the little frog face, its just so cute!

Next up is grass type Frogadier! I wanted to give each version a different vibe, so grass type has a bit of an anxious, gentle look. I gave it a big leaf for a cloak, with a couple more leaves in front to make a little bow. I really like this design, I think its cute and looks unique.

First off, we have our classic, water type Froakie. I love this little man, he's so round and cute and he always looks a little bit thoughtful. I've always loved the vibes that water type Pokémon have, its especially evident with Froakie and Sobble, they're just little guys that feel.

Next up is fire type Froakie! This little frog is gonna have some real Naruto vibes when it grows up, but for now, it's just an excitable sprog. I went with flame designs on the legs and stripes on the cheeks for the details, and a fluffy-looking ruff on the neck, instead of the bubbly one on classic Froakie. I went with pale, almost teal eyes to look a little bit like blue fire, since I'm hoping to bring that color out in later evolutions.

Finally, we have the shyest little baby in the whole world, grass type Froakie! This frog is gentle natured and calm, spending much of their time perched on leaves and soaking up sunlight. They have details on their cheeks, knees, hands, and stomach, and a cloak made out of a leaf around their neck. For the eyes, I went with pink/magenta, since I think it brings out the more calm vibes I wanted to bring with this one.

The first one, obviously, is my version of the classic, fire type Delphox. I decided to play with this one's design a little more than I had with the previous two fire types, just messing with some gradients and shading/lighting to look a little bit more of my style and aesthetic. You have absolutely no idea how much I love this one, it just turned out so cute and I love it so much.

Next up, as always, is grass type Delphox. I wanted this one to look really fluffy and unkempt, like a shrub thats overgrown. To really give it a final feeling, I added little flowers on the ear fluffs and tail, finishing the blossom cycle I had tried to bring out in the previous two evolutions. Instead of the flame patterns on the legs, I went with little flower decals, making sure to match the aesthetic of the original flame shapes. For the wand, I went with a thorny rose branch, just to bring out the grass type feeling.

Finally, my precious baby, water type Delphox. I wanted to make this one feel like a splashing wave, or like ocean currents, which I think came out somewhat in the design. I went with a raindrop shape for the decoration on the legs, making sure to match the aesthetic to the original flame design. For the wand, I went with a dark purple color for the wood, which I hoped would look a little bit like a waterlogged branch. I also gave it a water bubble on top, just to bring out the water type vibes.

First up is the original, fire type Braixen. Honestly, Braixen is such a cutie, this design is one of my favorite middle evolutions of all! It looks like it could be a complete Pokémon all by itself, which is sometimes lacking in the middle evolutions. I love the Fennekin line so much.

For the first type swap, we have grass type Braixen! I wanted to make this design much more fluffy to make it look like an overgrown shrub. I changed the simple, speckled fur design from my grass type Fennekin into a larger leaf design to really emphasize the growth aspect of the design. I also wanted to make the ear fluff look a little bit like opening flower buds, although I'm not sure how well it worked.

I did this first one just to draw normal Fennekin with my style. It's obvious that I'm using the original illustration for the basic shapes and the size of the character. I love this design a lot, it's really cute and fluffy, just plain enough for a first evolution.

For my first swap I went with grass, since I wanted to go through the types by weakness (not sure why anymore, lmao). I tried to make the ear fluff look more like buds, and gave it a more curly tail and face fluff. I also added a texture to the fur to make it more like the texture of grass.

I actually didn't know that there was some discourse surrounding Kecleon's shiny design until I decided just randomly to work on it. I was originally planning to do a teal version, something that looked like the color that chameleons naturally are. I decided to try my hand at a version of the purple shiny, based a little bit on the Kecleon brothers from Mystery Dungeon. I didn't follow the purple design exactly, as there were some minor issues with the coloration of the more basic Kecleon (the green one) in Mystery Dungeon.

I really like the shiny design for Altaria, I think that the yellow that they used for it is actually really nice on the design.
