I'm so sorry I had a random thought I just had to share 😭.

If Balan is a Moth, Lance as a butterfly? Similar, but different.. Just a random idea spare me..

Or don't, your proactive....

Lol, no worries, you're spared! XD And surprisingly you're not the only one who mentioned about Lance as a butterfly! ^^

Here are some doodles because I really REALLY like that idea! 👀

I'd think that in this case his "wings" are a new addition to his body as a Lance, much like his tendrils.

They're functional but it's not like he needs them, and he'd probably use them solely for gliding around if he's feeling lazy.

Here's another one where I focused on the wings a little more:

I gave them softer colors this time, and I think it came out ok!

His wing design is based off of the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing! :D

The butterfly picture is under the cut:

Draw Lance & Balan with their colors switched!

I gotta admit, coloring these two was confusing because I am so used to doing their original colors. XD

But this was fun! Here are some extra sketches because I kinda got into Balan in Lance's color scheme:

Drawing all this reminded me of my Lanced Balan- so I did a little doodle of him too. I kinda miss drawing him- ;v;

Boom! Balan, Lance, Ember and Gelid have been turned into Pokémon similar to how the player becomes a Pokémon in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. What Pokémon will they change into?

This spell applies to your other OCs too.

This was super fun to draw!! Thanks for the idea!! :D

I'll be honest that I'm not super familiar with pokémon, but it was fun looking up which ones I'd like these characters to be! I hope these were fun picks!

In case it's not obvious on which Pokémon was picked out for this, a bonus under the cut! vvv

From right to left:

Ember = Hatterene

Aspen = Pheromosa

Balan = Meowscarada

Detective Wolfhound = Lucario

Mary Mei = Magearna

Lance = Darkrai

Albert = Indeedee

Gelid = Ceruledge

Leah = Pawniard

how would episode 4 go down in the evil circus with no gangle?

Lol! That was fun to think about.. XD

[markiloon]

that last post made me really curious to wonder how bartender bazooble would have gone

Very poorly I imagine. XD

[markiloon]

Silly little question.

But Balans a big old Moth man. So.. Does he eat the stereo typical moth things? Such as Heheheheh books and fabric?

(I know usually the larvae do that but shhhh let me be funny..)

Lol, yeah he does!

I love this idea because Balan technically doesn't even NEED to eat. So if anything he's just doing this purely for his own enjoyment. XD

[markiloon]

Enough about Balan, he's gotten enough attention /silly.

How about Lance? Any little butterfly things he does? Muahahahahhahahahahahahahaha 💐💥

I'd say that Lance has a few butterfly traits, for one, he's waaaay more into eating sweets than anything else!

Secondly he'd be an excellent dancer, especially while in flight. He can use his wings to navigate through the air effortlessly!

Since both Balan and Lance are competitive for the guest's attention, they battle each other quite often. Lance fights very gracefully, looking more like he's dancing around instead.

He tends to use his brightly colored wings to flash Balan with, temporarily disorienting him to gain the upper hand. (It works really well)

He enjoyed sun bathing a LOT, and misses it so much now that he's no longer a Balan... Nowadays he sometimes continues to do so in secret while our current Balan isn't around.

And for fun! I drew up butterfly Lance when he WAS a Balan:

He truly misses his pretty blue cape...

Hello, I thought your moth balan design was so cool, especially the true form version, it's very cute, so I wanted to draw it :). Hope you like it.

OH MY GOODNESS...

This came out so nicely omg??? 😭💖💖

Moths are seriously one of my most favorite little critters, so it makes me so happy that people like the moth Balan design!! :')

Thank you so much!!
