What if abilities changed the appearance of a Pokemon?

A master post of all the ability forms drawings I've done! It's been such a fun series to work on and it makes me so happy that it's brought you all so much joy!

I regret not starting the little additional descriptions earlier and I thought of fixing that but I desperately need a nap so nope.

I did fix the one that ruffled the most feathers though - quite literally! The Skarmory saga is finally complete!

Other Ability Forms posts!

Find me and my art elsewhere!

#037 - #038. The Vulpix line originates from deserts, and their presence is said to turn any forest they settle in into arid wastelands. To prevent this, people build shrines and place offerings to quell their spirits.

A Vulpix can be aged by the number of tails, but Ninetales's age is determined by the length of their tail braid

I know the line is based on red foxes, but i based them on rupell's fox, a thin desert fox species. I decided to start with study their face structure and body shapes to start:

Canines are always super tricky for me, but i really like the shape of these guys and their lanky body structures

I started drawing their designs on digital this time, and while vulpix's was pretty straight forward, I took a bit to figure out the tails for ninetales. drawing 9 tails while still keeping a recognizable silhouette is rough

I decided to go with the braid, as I think it keeps the thin silhouette flowing better, and it felt like an interesting progression to the curled vulpix tail: both pokemon have their tails tied in a way, but vulpix has a more jovial, baby version, while ninetales seems to intentionally tie their tails in a braid as a show of control.
