Smeargle (2025) - Wisdom of Sea and Sky: Lugia Illustrator: MINAMINAMI Take

[lemmydex]

#235. Smeargle live in groups, each with their own color of paint. They enjoy combing and preening their tails to be their favorite brush shape, and are more likely to pick shapes other Smeargle don't have. Together, they make full masterpieces.

Design process undercut

So this guy was a bit of a ride to design. At first, I decided to base it off lemurs, because I wanted to make smeargle an animal with a long tail + its more monkey like body. So I started studying lemurs

And then i realized that fuck, grafaiai exists LOL. thats literally a lemur aye-aye. So i had to pivot, and I considered other animals like coati and even just giving up and making it a dog like a bull terrier, but then I was talking to a friend who reminded me of kinkajous. and then it all came together. i also took the time to do some design studies for grafaiai, but you wont get to see that until i finish that design innit

After that, there wasn't much to worry about. Smeargle is a simple design and I kept most of it simple, with just adding some countershading to the body and some extra paint spots. The way the tail works is so that they're still able to grab on branches and use it normally, so the ink fur cuts off at the end and is only present on one side
