Peripécias

A sorta sequel to these CR x Pokemon drawings of mine I drew back in 2022, but with the campaign 4 characters :]

I also made a version where all of them are all together, and also versions where they're by themself. That way, I can talk about why I chose those specific pokemon for each of them. Sort of. Some of them have stronger reasons than others ngl.

Halandil the Unfezant - I did struggle a bit with picking which pokemon he should be, but after making a quick poll to see what others thought, I felt a bit reassured that Unfezant won as that was my original pick for him. As for my reason to pick said pokemon? Yeah, I don't have a strong reason for it. Just that it gave me sorta the same vibe as Hal.

Azune the Lucario - A pokemon that both uses physical and special attack moves, I thought out of all the "soldier-like" pokemon out there, Lucario was my fave pick for him.

Murray the shiny Aromatisse - First of all, I fucking love Aromatisse <3 And I thought a short, glamorous pokemon with fabulous hair and pretty good special attack stats would fit her well :]

Bolaire the shiny Aegislash - Even though I had a few pokemon that could potentially fit him, I couldn't stop thinking about him as an Aegislash (or a Honedge / Doublade) due to it's pokedex entries. Stating how it has potent spectral powers that allows it to manipulate others. Also, believe it or not, but Aegislash (Blade Forme) is pretty strong with both physical and special attacks.

Occtis the shiny Hisuian Zoroark - Yet again, had a few different pokemon on his list (mostly ghost types) but eventually settled on Hisuian Zoroark due to 1. Him using Disguise Self quite a bit, and 2. being basically a "dead" version of a Zoroark, which the Tachonis family could be.

Vaelus the Mienshao - Not gonna lie, for a while, I was going to draw her as a Ceruledge. However, after reading Mienshao's pokedex entry, which states how it uses the long fur on it's arms as whips, I knew I had to pick that instead. I was going to add her censer as well, which would be hanging from her tail by a chain, but I decided against it in the end.

Thaisha the Sceptile - Honestly, if I didn't make this rule for myself where I don't do repeat of pokemon I've already drawn someone else as, I would've drawn her as a Serperior (who I had already drawn Fearne as). But, not gonna lie, I do like how Thaisha ended up looking like as a Sceptile :] A strong grass type pokemon that can sometimes- without a mega stone, as that and legendary pokemon are gone in this world- mega evolve.

Julien the shiny Blaziken - Another character that was hard to pick a pokemon for. And honestly, I don't have a strong reason why I ended up picking Blaziken in the end. Sorry Julien orz

Tyranny the Houndoom - Although I was tempted to draw her as a Gogoat or a Dubwool, I ended up picking Houndoom instead. Mostly 'cause the pokemon feels like a sort of hellhound. Also, daily reminder that Houndoom doesn't have any ears :) You're welcome.

Kattigan the shiny Vigoroth - Originally, I was going to draw him as a Mightyena, but then ended up choosing Vigoroth 'cause 1. Just it's overall vibe, and 2. How it's pokedex entries states that they get stressed out if they don't move constantly.

Thimble the Ribombee - Sort of an obvious pick for her as, well, Ribombee just looks like a more bug-like version of her. Not much else to say here.

Teor the Incineroar - Although Incineroar is more of a cat / tiger while Pyroar is the lion pokemon, I thought Incineroar fit him more. Mostly due to it's build ngl. As a side note: He was the hardest one to draw out of all of these o(-( Like holy shit.
