Typhlosion, Quilava, and Cyndaquil

[lemmydex]

#155 - #156 - #157. The fires of the Cyndaquil line grow bluer and stronger as it evolves. When closer to evolving, Cyndaquils and Quilavas will dig new burrows uninterrupted until it can accomodate their new stage.

Design process undercut

The typhlosion line was one that I've been thinking about for a little bit, and I wanted to redo it as the last time I drew it was all the way over 202..3? 4? I don't remember anymore lul.

I wanted to push both the badger and echidina/tenrec aspects of the line more. I was happy with my first sketches, the idea of the fire coming from specific stripes on the neck and replacing the characteristic badger stripe. Quilava and Cyndaquil were a bit of afterthoughts, but I already had some ideas for them. I don't have studies to showcase this time, because i already studied mustelids a while ago separatedly haha

The main things that changed from concept to sketch phase was that i really wanted to stop doing so many top heavy designs. It's my favorite shape language, but it'd be doing typhlosion a disservice, so I tried to keep the triangular bottom heavy design while keeping my concepts intact.

Someone asked me to draw the humanized Cyndaquil evolutions haha. It was fun
