Welcome to Piklopedia! This is a little gijinka design challenge sideblog run by @blueporl where I attempt to design gijinkas based off the enemies from the Pikmin franchise. Check the pinned post for information on this side project.
This is a little gijinka design challenge sideblog run by @blueporl where I attempt to design gijinkas based off the enemies from the Pikmin franchise.
Designs can also be viewed on the Toyhou.se version of this account
Note: Since Pikmin 4 just came out, enemies that first appeared in that game will be tagged as "Pikmin 4 enemy spoilers". In general I will not be designing gijinkas of any story spoiler bosses or enemies, as I'm not done with the game myself.
Started: 9/5/2023 // Character count: 4
Check below for information on this side project.
Challenge Rules
Bosses can be any age, but young variants of enemies will always be kids
Young variants can have the same/similar hair styles and colors but can't wear the same clothes
Elemental recolors will always be siblings and can have designs with only slight variations from each other
Enemies that aren't actually enemies (ie Pellet Posies, the Phosbat pod, etc) are optional and do not count towards finished enemies.
No bases will be used just to ensure I don't make a lot of designs at once.
Designs do not need unique poses to count, they can just be standing around. Ditto with backgrounds- every design will be transparent barring an 8px white outline.
Designs can be as wacky as I want, but must ultimately be humanoid.
Antagonist =/= enemy. For example, leafling!Olimar and Moss will not have gijinkas just because you can "fight" them in Dandori Battles.
Questions
Q: Can I contribute designs?/Can I be added to the blog?
A: Nope, I want to go at my own pace, and having other people designing would also make this less of a challenge! Also I don't want the account to potentially get stolen if we stop being friends.
Q: Is fanart of existing designs allowed?
A: Totally! I'd love any fanart, just as long as they're of mine and you're not trying to get yours added here. You can even draw my gijinkas with your own!
Q: Are any of these for sale? Will they be once the challenge is over?
A: Nope! I want them all to stay together.
Q: Will any of these designs be sexual in nature?
A: Absolutely not. Everyone will be well covered and there will be no upskirt shots or oversized breasts or anything of the sort. Comments of that nature about any designs will also get you blocked if they're explicit enough.
Q: Can I request which one you do next?
A: You can politely suggest i do a specific enemy next or give me headcanons for existing designs, but please don't assume your request will be done next or soon. I like going at my own pace!
If you have any questions of your own, feel free to send an ask or DM this account :]
i discovered your blog recently and it seems really fun... for requests could we please get a breadbug?
Gijinka #4
here comes Breadbug! She works as a waitress at her family's restaurant. She's well-meaning, but sometimes she may absentmindedly take people's plates before they're done eating! At least she often takes things left behind to the lost n' found?
This silent fellow is Wollywog, aka Wollyhop in modern releases. Having been stranded during a cave diving expedition years ago, Wollyhop has somehow managed to survive all on his own. Why doesn't he make his way back to the surface, then?
next up in the line-up is Groovy Long Legs! Not only is he our first boss, he's also a very recent entry to the Arachnorb family! He may be tall, silent, and mysterious, but people who take the time to get to know this aloof DJ promise that he's very chill.
below the cut are his other colors, plus a version where he changes between all three
Wogpole, aka Wolpole in modern releases. He's the youngest of the Amphituber family and pretty nervous, often running away even when there's no actual danger.
