Only on the darkest arctic nights can you encounter this Primordial Pokémon. It manifests as aurora and ice, gently towering over the pole's frigid denizens... ✨❄️🧊 (There are 12 kinds of Pokémon in this #art! Can you find 'em all? Some are well hidden... Have fun, open your mind, & don't give away answers! 💕) Image on Bluesky~

Deadly infections with what has become known as "hatemold" (Jacare rowlii) are on the rise this year. This parasitic black mold is thought to be attracted to individuals who fill their life with hatred towards their fellow humans, weakening their immune system. It has been known to affect people in the TERF community, among other bigots.

Good observation! :) I'm glad there is still appreciation for good binomials. For those wondering: the genus is named after a type of alligator (Jacaré) owing to its distinctive scaly texture, and the species is named after it's discoverer, the legendary mycologist Johannes Rowl (1792-1865).

I have a separate, sci-fi worldbuilding thing, it takes a backseat to the Har Fang project, but I occasionally work on it.

Technically this should be "Known extant sophonts" since there is another extinct civilization but I don't feel like designing them right now.

Except for the Orytarians, these are all the human names for each sophont, not the names they use for themselves. This is because Orytarians and Humans have a very similar vocal range and thus are able to speak each other's native languages.

Grabbers are able to speak all other languages due to their vocal apparatus being morphologically similar to parrots. Mech Shrimps communicate with each other in clicking sounds, and normally use either Grabber translators or writing to communicate with other sophonts. Manta vocalization has some overlap with humans, and they can technically kinda speak each other's languages, but it always sounds off and stilted.

This guy(gender neutral) again!

I redesigned their species a bit a while back, naturally that means I had to redo their ref sheet for artfight!

While Har Fang takes priority in my worldbuilding and spec bio work, I do have a separate sci-fi project on the back burner that Charybdis here and their species belong to.

I have sketches of the other sophonts done, just need to finish them and write up their lore! Some day!

[knight-elkwarden]

Hello! Would it be ok if I used your celestial moth art as a background? :3 (just for me, but still wanted to ask)

Go ahead! I'm fine with my art being used privately! If you end up using it anywhere public, all I ask for is credit! :)

[6ftturkey]

Reference sheets under the cut

Trigger warning for gore, exposed organs and body horror.

I've been brainstorming these two for a while now. They're also on my ArtFight if you feel so inclined to draw some mangled beasties this coming july.

[knight-elkwarden]

Hi! could you draw a Shiinotic? please

You're not gonna believe me but I'm actually developing a character right now that has a Shiinotic as a partner pokemon.

Anyways! Here you go! With a bonus Morelull.

Also congrats on being my first ask in like 7 years.

[knight-elkwarden]
