#vindictus virtuous

A Virtue-group owl line, meant as a counterpart to Windios's as-of-yet undefined species. Drawn a few months ago.

More monstrum.

The terms "bed mimic" and "curtain mimic" came into my head one day, and so became Somnertia and Guardiaveil. Ironically, the former (Sloth-type) enjoy wandering about with their human partners on their backs, while the latter (Diligence-type) tend to be sedentary and allergic to The Outside(TM).

Hamsariel is just the Hamsa hand if it were attached to a humanoid.

Parrie and its evolution, Pugilante, can inflict injuries ranging from "traction" to "explode on impact".

Some very, very rough design work, because I've got enough of that to post now.

1-1) Concepts for some Contra-Earth kin: Cytherans, Lepidopterans, the scarecrow-variant Galateans, and an unfinished doodle of a halfling (i.e. "squirrelfolk").

(Please ignore Misha down in the corner there. :U)

1-2) Gian and Renatus. I went back to that old "neon noir" Marathon AU concept for Gian's outfit; for Renatus, I figured that primary colours would make a good contrast to Angelus's black-and-white.

1-3) Full-body doodles of Reina's sisters--at least, the ones whose full designs I hadn't yet figured out (Reina, Teresa, and Leonora had theirs already)--plus Galen.

2) Redesigns of the three main Pyro Heart girls (yeah, three--Lavender's a trans girl now) and Fei, along with refs for Jasmine and Honey Pizza. While Pitaya didn't change much, Jiangsu's and Lavender's old outfits weren't really working for me anymore; I also wanted Fei to wear something that was both more evocative than "dark grey hoodie over black pants" and casual enough for her to wear around campus.

3) The rest of DV's mirror universe core seven (minus Jack).

4) The Ashlands crew, minus Aleph and Yasada. Erylis got totally overhauled on account of "got hopelessly stumped on what to do with her old leather punk getup"; Durga's outfit is fancier, and Dimah went back to his old, more grounded veil.

5-1) There was always meant to be a male counterpart to the Panregina species, but it took me a while (i.e. late last year) to settle on a direction. (The pre-evo still doesn't have a name as of this post.)

5-2) That, in turn, gave me an idea for a male counterpart to the Abyssonya species, modeled on the peacock mantis shrimp.

Some more Vindictus Virtuous monstrum concepts.

Abyssonya tend to like shiny things; it's not uncommon for them to venture out of the water in search of it. However, anyone who thinks that they'll only need a sufficiently shiny trinket to recruit an Abyssonya is in for a rude shock.

Remphaenon are usually only found in the areas in which they were revered in ancient times, i.e. abandoned temples. Those red things are lengths of brain stem that act as feelers.

Hariko mostly putter around and eat whatever isn't poison. They must be handled carefully, as their six primary spines are extremely sharp.

Scattered concepts for Vindictus Virtuous (i.e. the 'mons thing). I'm happy with Peridia and Peatii; the others may be subject to adjustment.

Peridia is based on the peridexion tree, a mythological tree that was described in the Physiologus as attracting doves and repelling serpents. Any good Pokemon-like needs at least one cute plant girl.

Peatii (ignore the "Pearis") is the base stage of Phasiris, carried over from one of my two older Fakemon concepts. (The Holicite line is here, too.)

Misophyte doesn't like you.

Divini is inspired by fortune tellers' tables and the Witch of Endor, a figure in the Bible that frustrates Christian scholars.

Silkae is a smaller version of Ephraim's long-dropped "celestial being" form.

"I'm gonna draw my take on MissingNo!" And then I made another goddamn monstrum.
