#minicorn

A little off-schedule with this one, but still on time! Minicorn, the dang-cute Pokemon! I honestly love Minicorn's design and its branch evolutions, I really wish that GameFreak would have made a Pokemon like this for Sword and Shield instead of making Galar forms. Don't get me wrong, I think Galarian Ponyta is cute, but I've grown less fond of regional forms. Not to sound too harsh, but it feels less creative when a good chunk of the Pokedex is taken up by Galarian forms that become game-locked, so you can't bring them anywhere.

These are drawings for someone on my Instagram by the name of lulu_l_art who won 1st place for my 1K follower art raffle! I drew them Fennekin and Minicorn in my new artstyle (Minicorn is from Pokemon Uranium, a fan game).

pour one out for the lost baby pokemon from the gold and silver demo

i really liked that trifox has white tufts that are only starting to get color & only partly split for the tail, it matches up w vulpix’s pokedex info!

Baby Ponyta! It’s interesting her body’s darker than her evolutions’, but it makes her harder to color with the limited palette... Anyway, Minicorn doesn’t really have a lot going on, except for cuteness. I wish she looked more like an actual baby horse though.

Minicorn is cute but it doesn’t feel like a Pokemon in the slightest.  It’s perfectly, classically, generically a unicorn in every way.  I don’t even know what I’d change about it to be more Pokemon-like, it’s just...a perfect 80s trapper keeper unicorn, changing it would diminish its appeal.
