New references for the all grown up Rhea and Callisto.

I posted these to their profiles a while back actually X3

how many vertical stripes are temple pillars' rings connected by? and would there be a specific variant caused by breeding with a primitive eevee?

The number of stripes varies! it can be as many as you want!Id reccomend between 4-8The variant caused by breeding with a primitive eevee is reffered to as a “Relic”And I have some rough designs for them here!(we couldnt choose which flareon looked better: @ask-eeveeons)

[primaleeveeons]

I was trying to draw new primal designs and ended up making an entirely new color-variation... 

These variations appeared in captive populations of primals, particularly those who had been breeding only within their same type for several generations. (Such as vaporeon+vaporeon and Sylveon+Sylveon). I nicknamed them “Elemental Primitives” but each type has its own name.

Breeding elemental primitives with normal ones still counts as being purebred. If both parents are of the same type their offspring has a 50% chance of having elemental markings. However Eevees of this breed look completely normal, so its impossible to tell if they’ll have the elemental markings before evolution. 

Ocean Vaporeon.  It has larger fins than a normal primitive Vaporeon, including sometimes a shark-like fin on its back. Its coloring resembles bubbles and water droplets.

Lighting Jolteon: Covered in lightning marks. Helios belongs in this variety. 

Inferno Flareon: All primitive Flareons have flame-markings in their manes and tails, Inferno Flareons have these on their face and body as well. 

Magic Espeon: Covered in gradient purple markings. They have two tails and slit eyes. 

Soaring Cinereon: While the very first primitive Cinereon was incapable of flight, soaring Cinereons have larger ears, and thus are capable of gliding further distances. Their markings resemble feathers (although they still have fur).

Nightsky Umbreon: Instead of multiple circles on its body, the Nightsky Umbreon only has a crescent moon on its forehead. Its ears, feet and tail are covered in star-shapes with a purple hue. The rest of its body is also dark blue, rather than black. 

Blizzard Glaceon: Its brightest parts are covered in white gradients and it has snowflake-markings covering its body. 

Fairytale Sylveon: The ribbons more resemble butterflies, as does their ears. 

Forest Leafeon: Covered in even more moss and leaves than normal. The fur on its head is made of grass.

Drawing some babies I might end up using in the blog later. 

The striped one is a pillar eevee, adopted by @ask-eeveemansion (their art is on the top left corner.) I drew slightly less stripes on the feet because I’m not sure I would be willing to draw that many stripes on a regular basis XD 

The other is just a regular ol primal Eevee. 

Feel free to suggest names, they should be planet-related?

(Motya to Lemons) "Goodness, you look pretty fired up don't you? Haha.. jokes aside I can't help but wonder about your fur. Has it always been so.. "representative" of your typing? I mean, it looks exactly like fire! Do you think that if you had evolved into anything else your fur would have looked like that element?"

Arnold: Lemons is uh…. a pygmy primitive flareon… if he didnt uh..have those markings..he wouldnt be fit for contests…or the breed standard… uh….we all have different markings depending on species….we uh.. have a catalogue here

Primitive Eevee information

Because I wanted to write down a more comprehensive info sheet somewhere. This is all written as an in-universe description of the breed. Again much of their appearance is based of the original Red/Green sprites (particularly Vaporeon’s and Eevee’s) but any of the new ones (whom I haven’t finished redrawing yet but they’re coming) are pretty much entirely made up by me. 

Includes new pictures and slight redesign on a few of them. 

Primitive Munchkin Eevees are said to be the oldest “breed” of Eevee, originating in the wild in Kanto. Some even believe this is how all Eevees used to look. Now the breed pretty much only exists in captivity with determined breeders, as the wild Eevee-population in Kanto has been watered out by mating with other species and foreign Eevees, resulting in the “modern” Eevee-breeds. Since primitives are the ancestors of many eevees today even modern breeds may display features that primitive Eevees are known for. 

To count as a purebred Primitive you’d have to prove that your Eevee only has primitive ancestors for at least five generations back. 

Common for all types are short stubby legs and detailed markings. They were also said to have had longer noses at one point but this is rare in primitives of today. Their markings vary, depending on evolution. Aside from the short legs primitives are the same size as regular Eevees. 

As Eevee (Picture with a standard modern Eevee for comparison)

Most primitive Eevees don’t have very detailed markings. Because of this breeders don’t usually breed them until they have evolved, to ensure their markings are correct. 

Disqualifying features: Long legs (also counts for all its evolutions). 

Flareon 

Flareon’s is extra fuzzy, its fur resembling fire in both markings and the way it moves. 

Disqualifying features: Lack of markings. Flat fur.

Jolteon

Primitive Jolteons are completely covered in spikes and white stripes. 

Disqualifying features: Lack of spikes on the back. Lack of stripes. 

Vaporeon

Have more dog-like ears than modern Vaporeons, fins on their feet and a long continuous dorsal fin.  They are also covered in stripes, have white bellies and often white or yellow tails. 

Disqualifying features: Lack of fins. Spikes instead of dorsal fin. Missing stripes. 

Espeon

Espeons usually have longer beards than normal, and siamese-like markings. The number of stripes on their tails may vary. 

Disqualifying features: No markings. 

Umbreon

Like Vaporeon their ears are thicker and more dog-like. They tend to have stripes instead of spots (though some have both.

Disqualifying features: Too thin ears. No stripes. 

Glaceon 

Mainly have more diamond-marking scattered across their bodies. The amount may vary.

Disqualifying features: No diamond-markings other than the normal two on the back. 

Leafeon 

Has a green back and a mossy mane around the neck. 

Disqualifying features: Lack of extra markings. No mane. 

Sylveon 

Primitive Sylveons have fluffier tail and ears and butterfly-like bows with extra markings. They also have extra stripes on their ribbons, the amount may vary. 

Disqualifying features: Lack of extra stripes. Thin tail. Normal bows.
