Hi seekers fans! sorry I haven’t posted anything about the tarot project in ages, I burnt myself out doing the original set, and by temperance I just wanted to stop for a bit. But motivations back! So here we got the newest cards! Temperance with Jax and Felix, and The Devil with Will, Fidel, and Nia! Hope you like these @teshadraws!

Note to self, update and post Cal's NPCs. Speaking of Cal, March 2018 was kinda His month due to his newness at the time. Cal with his (at the time) ralts, Caledfwlch.

there was a mini-event where residents were turned all one color

Now here is some of Cal's small goat herd and Valeur the (at the time) Growlithe plus a new born Mudbray named Ira

Ann-E entered the Spring Fashion Show, the theme was Bug-Type Formal-Wear. OtaPotato's character modeled the Vocarona Ballgown and Deegcakes' character modeled the Mega Scizor Suit. She didn't win anything this time.

This last weekend was Teddiursa community day in Pokémon go so you know, naturally I drew Blondie with a team of Pokémon

What do you think of stuffle and beware? They are really cute imo, particularly stuffle and it's noises.

I have mixed feelings on this line. On the one hand, they’re wonderful from both a personality and a conceptual standpoint. A cute little plushie/mascot bear that will literally break your spine if you look at it wrong? Absolutely love it. It’s also wonderful that this line is also the most dangerous Pokemon in Alola, like its the Pokemon version of that one Monty Python sketch.

But on the other hand, the designs are a bit bothersome. Let’s start with the good parts: the color palette is nice; we’ve had all-pink Pokemon before but not many with a pink/brown (black once it evolves)/white scheme, and it both looks nice visually and gives it good contrast. I also like the red-panda like markings on Stuffle’s face and tail (though I feel like the tail one should be white), and the colors are carried through well.

However, my big problem with this line is that they’re meant to be living creatures that just happen to look a bit like plushies and mascots. Instead, they look exactly like those things, to the point where its hard to picture them as living creatures, even in the later gen’s more cartoonish style. Stuffle here literally has a tag on its back!

And there are just some other details--the lack of definition in the feet, the complete lack of any fur texture (especially on the head, feels like it needs something there), lack of an inside ear, and shapeless body--that really prevent it from reading as a living thing, and also just kind of look weird in general.

Also, the mouth looks absolutely bizarre to me, because both it and Bewear have their mouths open underneath their muzzles, and frankly that’s just horrifying.

As for its evolution, can I just toss out there that Bewear is possibly the greatest Pokemon name ever? People always whine about it being a pun, but frankly I can’t get enough of dumb pun names, especially really good ones like that.

I think I like Bewear a bit more than Stuffle, just because Stuffle’s dex entries mention that it can harm people, but it doesn’t really look like it could. Bewear, meanwhile, manages to look simultaneously cute and like it could crush you like a soda can, which is an important distinction. And there are some other nice touches; the black works even better than the brown, and the mouth is still underneath the muzzle but at least it’s less noticeable here.

It does, however, suffer from the same issue of looking fake that I brought up with Stuffle. I mean, there is no definition to its lower body. It doesn’t have to look super literally like a bear as that would kind of ruin the point, but some kind of anatomy would’ve been appreciated. The way the ears merge with the white stripe is a bit odd, mostly because the ears are really far forward on the face, and I’m not sure what the point of the white dots on the feet are. I would’ve liked to see a bit more pink carried through as well, maybe just on the feet and hands, seeing as it already looks like it’s wearing a onesie.

Like I said at the beginning, I still love these guys, and I think they have very well thought out concepts. The designs just don’t quite hit as strongly for me as they could’ve. Still would let myself get crushed to death by one of them though
