Last Edit I swear: Another reason Arian’s choice in species serves as a good nod to Silver is because Totodile was introduced in the games Pokemon Gold and Silver, which is actually why I settled on a Gold Bandanna for him based off of the concepts Feral came up with! That and because of the classic contrast between the two colors of course!
Edit: I was kind of an a time crunch to finish posting this on account of work earlier and I totally forgot to link Feral’s Ko-Fi page! Please consider commissioning them, their work is absolute FIRE and on top of that is pretty affordable to boot!
I was gonna wait until I could get around to drawing him but that’s likely gonna take a hot minute considering how little I draw these days and I figured it’d get my mind off a personal stuff so screw it!
Ladies, Gents, and Enbies of the PMD Community I am proud to present my Poke Sona’s partner in crime for the Rescue Team series, Arian the Totodile!
This bright optimistic fierce little fella was a custom design I took the liberty of commissioning from @feralwolf1234 after being quite impressed by a Pokemon themed adoptable batch they whipped up for a Discord server I’m in recently, one of which I actually took the liberty of adopting if you’d like to check them out here, and I figured who better than to design him than Feral themselves?
His name is Arian because it just so happens to mean Silver in Welsh and in case he weren’t already obvious he’s meant to serve as a parallel to none other than Silver the Hedgehog while also sporting a little visual nod to Gary De Snake from Zootopia as I’ve become rather fixated on the franchise since seeing it at the start of this year and I thought it’d be cute if he took some inspiration from the characters physical features.
For a character that serves as a reflection to a Hedgehog with Psychokinesis however you might be wondering why I choose a Totodile of all things over a Psyduck or Cyndaquil based off the options available to me within the Rescue Team games. Well admittedly… as weird as it might sound given the circumstances… I chose Totodile because I once knew someone from my youth who not only was a major fan of Silver the Hedgehog but one of his favorite Pokemon just so happened to be Totodile so I guess you could say…despite everything he and his twin sibling put me through and all the psychological scars they left behind…it’s my way of holding onto a good part of him till the day I die even if he’s no longer in my life nor can be. It also just wound up working out from a gameplay perspective as well as one other reason I won’t get into for potential spoilers for a future project I’m quietly working on behind the scenes!
Tagging @spy-flair-extraordinaire because she has mentioned wanting to reblog Feral’s work!
