Turning the Magikarp into a Japanese fish kite and Gyrados into a dragon dancer... so creative! I love them! Subbed, I can't wait to see what you'll do next!
So, a few things: 1. Congratulations on having a hit video! It's always such a big milestone for early content creators, I hope it's the one you feel most proud of making. 2. These fakemon designs are peak, Gaelados does feel like something is off about it, but I felt the same about Toedscruel too because I'm too used to Tentacruel, and Gyarados is a hard design to match because of how much detail it has. But I absolutely love all four of them! I'm shocked GF didn't make a Magikarp Convergent Evolution line either since it has so much potential, and you found literally the BEST CONCEPT EVER. As for Driflagoon and Drifswim, be proud of those names lol. I absolutely love the contrast between not only it and Drifloon and Drifblim, but Driflagoon and Drifswim themselves. 3. Be proud of your work, and the presentation with the Pokedex pages was so good, never seen a Fakemon Poketuber use a Pokedex voice for their style, so it helps set you apart, even if it was a bit jarring at first. Like and Sub well earned!
About point 2, when people data mined Scarlet and Violet they found out that in the game's code, Toedscool and Toedscruel are called OKAKINGU and OKAGYARADOSU.
I think what feels off the most about these 2 for me is the insides of their mouths. Just compare it to Gyarados and other usual mouth designs. I guess it should still be different since it is meant to be inorganic but maybe changing it up a little will give off a different impression on a whole EDIT: Changing Gaelados shiny variant to complete red to reference chinese new years customs instead of shiny Magikarp would possibly also work better. Adding some gold to make it stick out more and not blend in with shiny Gyarados and its regular version should do the trick.
A really thoughtful comment. I was also surprised to see how new his channel is, the presentation is so polished - subscribed immediately. I was taken aback by the Pokédex voiceover at first but it’s so charming and reminiscent of the anime, it brings so much life to the fakemon descriptions/lore.
I love the colours, Driflagoon and Drifswim look so underwater and mobile while Magikite and Gaelados look as if they are make of paper and glide on the current of a gentle breeze, the shape language is perfect and it makes me like Drifblim and Gyarados even more. You also nailed the official Pokémon style and shading. Really top tier, official-looking designs
I absolutely ADORE your concepts for Magikite and Gaelados, they fit so well within the Pokemon world and are very fun designs. You did an amazing job on them!
Im lowk bummed out cuz i am currently making a fan game of pokemon and i made a flying water wiscash, and made a beta design for the barboach as a kite fish months ago and this is way better lmao
oh my god the names for all of these dudes are so good edit: I do feel like Gaelados' face does look a tiny bit weird (I think its the eyes and the size of the forehead tbh) but Magikite is not only the best name, but the best design here, I absolutely adore him and I want 10 of them
Driflagoon and Drifswim are definitely my favorite, they feel the most convergent to me, they feel like actual evolutionary coincidences unlike the official ones in S/V. You did a FANTASTIC job with these, heres your sub doc.
Yeah, the ones in S/V just feel like Paldaen Forms. Galaran Ponyta feels more like a different pokemon that just happens to like a Ponyta while those ‘new’ ones are more similar to Alolan Meowth where they look the same, just a different color and a couple extremely small design changes that you barely notice. If they had them look a little more different and potentially have a different looking evolution path then I’d think they were different enough, but no Wiglett is just a white Diglett, Wigtrio is just a red Dugtrio and those other two look like jellyfish on land and not enough to suggest a mushroom since I had to read more to figure out what made them ‘different pokemon’
Dang, for how good of an artist you are, you deserve more subscribers. You nailed the concept of convergent Pokémon and the art style is extremely convincing for Pokémon! Love your ideas! I hope you gain more support as you go on!
As someone who watches a ton of fakemon content, Magikite and Gaelados are by far my favorite concepts I’ve seen in a long time, and they look incredible! Take my sub!
[Pokemon The Movie 2000] had Gyrados replace the dragon puppet used in those dances, so having a Gyrados that resembles those puppets is a pretty jump.
It seems like you hit algorithmic gold with this :) Love that you made all the art yourself. With Galeados would it perhaps look a bit better if he had a strip of fur running down the middle of his head to his nose?
Magikite is SO cute!! 10/10 would have him on my team. And having it evolve into another celebratory decoration makes so much sense! I love them conceptually and in their designs. If I had to give a critique, it might be to work the scalloped edge “scale” layers into more of a textural element in Gaelados’s outline/overall silhouette so it would have a bit more depth, but it’s very nice as is too, where the smooth look conveys more of a man-made feel of puppet pieces linked together.
I really love all of these designs! Each and everyone one of them! I know you weren't fully satisfied with how the Gyarados art came out, but the CONCEPT is beyond perfection! I am looking forward to seeing more from you, and have confidence you will (eventually) get the inspiration needed to take your Gyarados design where you want it to be! Happy to be a new subscriber!
You doing great! not only you managed to give convergence evolution a great use, you gave sense to it! honestly all four of them are amazing and i fell in love with magikite's desing, is just so clever
I LOVE these design concepts, they’re super cool and if they were real I’d totally use them on my team!! They’d fit so well into the Pokémon universe, you 100% should be proud of your work I’ve never seen someone use the Pokédex voice which is something I also really enjoyed because it makes it even more unique compared to other fakemon videos Congratulations on the hit video, it was well deserved. You’ve definitely earned the sub
One twist that might have been funny for the Driflagoon line: How about Drifloon/Drifblim, but upside-down. Basically, use the heads, especially the clouds of the originals, as the holdfasts of the kelp and have the arms lifted up by the air bladders.
2k views in 4 weeks? Nah, instead you shall hit the algorithm this time and get 108k in 5 days. Also love all the designs, you got yourself a new sub, can’t wait to see more of your fakemon.
I hope this video draws the same attention your other one did! you're very good at emulating the pokemon style while still being creative with your own ideas. I think the concept of a driftloon that is kelp is a very solid one, but the magikarp is just genius. If i could offer some critisism, I think part of the reason you don't like gaelados is the face; it has the wide open mouth of gyarados but its eyes aren't as aggressive and are quite cutesy. While I understand this is to represent gaelados' more passive and timid nature, the combination of the two features make its face feel void of any real emotion or personality. I think either giving it the classic gen 1 eyes or making the shape of its mouth more akin to a smile might help convey the personality that is lacking in your otherwise amazing and unique design
I’m truly impressed. This showed up in my UA-cam recommended, and I clicked. I was not disappointed! I’m a digital artist as well, so I noticed that you weren’t using pen pressure (at latest that’s what it looked like), which just makes this more impressive. Doubly if you were using a mouse. The colors are great as well! At the end, I found myself looking between Magikite and Gaelados a bunch and loving how different yet related they looked based on color alone. The real head on Drifswim is adorable and I like the idea of it having a false head. And it and Driflagoon have fabulous names. Genius. XD +1 Sub
The concept on Gaelados is great, and the colors are actually fantastic. I love the contrast between that dark blue fur, the white streamers, and all the other bright, saturated colors. Yellow was a good choice for the lips. I do agree there's something slightly off with the rendition of the face, but that's a pretty small problem considering how cool the rest of the design looks. And by the way, all the other designs (especially Magikite and Driflagoon) are fantastic as well.
i can definitely tell that this guy is going to get big one day. Your art is amazing and the concepts are great! btw the pokedex voice is very clever :)
Not only you were blessed by recommendations, I feel like everyone here did, the designs are amazing and I love your art! Wish to see more of your ideas
Great stuff, my dude!! I have a suggestion for your Gaelados, perhaps you could change the black fur stuff to more of like a classic depiction of air, y’know, like the swirly stuff and whatnot? It may also look good for the backfins, as well. Perhaps that would make the design be a little more cohesive and look better for you, IDK, just something you can think about if you’d like. Great work, tho, keep it up!! :)
I just found your channel and I love this!! My one suggestion would be to not zoom in and out quite so fast on the drawing part as it kinda made me dizzy! Other then that 10/10. Fantastic job! Love this and you are so incredibly talented!
“I’m aiming to get 1k subs this year and could use all the help I can get.” 2 days later has nearly 2k subs. lol Well deserved. Great art. Great concepts and designs. Nice commentary. Dexter voice modulator doodad at the end was a nice touch. With videos like this, and the momentum you just hit, I’d be surprised if you weren’t at 10k+ by the the end of 2023.
I think you picked the perfect time to do this video style, pike art has been way more popular than before and the new games have definitely brought the convergent evolution to everyone’s imagination and wanting to see more! I hope you continue to grow in you channel friend!👍🏼
when i tell you these are so good, but the ENTIRE magikarp line… the names, the concepts, pokédex entries…genuinely very impressive❤️could see these being real pokémon! absolutely amazing work my friend :)
You've no shortage of creativity. The way you pull your designs from real-life inspirations is a testament to how well these designs work in the world of Pokemon. It's incredible to think that you've thought of these designs in such a short time considering Gaelados took you 10 hours.
That Magikarp one is absolutely genius, particularly the fact the you even incorporated its splashing about in the new design. For Gyarados, I think you could’ve leaned into more of an origami theme, as it looks like you were kinda going that way, but only half committed to it. Enjoyable video, all the same!
Magikite and Gaelados are my favorite! I want to use them in a playthrough! Great designs, great colors, and I love the kite/dragon puppet concepts! So cool!
Such a cool idea with Magikite and Gaelados. The colors are awesome!! Maybe study the Chinese kite dragons a little closer for inspiration? The coloring is on point!! And the bladder kelp--such a neat tie in!!
Love the execution of concepts! For Gaelados I think changing up the way it's posed to imply more intricate mesmerizing movement would help in showing off the character you've made for it.
I love the concepts behind each of these new lines. Pokémon is so cool the way it inspires creativity like this. Subscribed for sure, keep making content it’s sick.
Absolute bangers right here, your artstyle is a bop my guy. I always love seeing UA-camrs react to videos getting lots of views and then having another video blow up even more Subbed!
I absolutely love these! I think my favorite thing about Driflagoon and Drifswim is that their natural look is so similar to shiny Drifloon's color scheme! Amazing work!
These are really cool. I do think galedos' face looks kinda derpy and using the paper to separate the eyes like gyarados' horns do might've fixed it. Perhaps a paper fan or origami inspirations could have helped too. Or shishimai, look it up, would have worked!
Lol, I created a ground/dragon where you use splash 40 times on land with Magikarp and it evolves into Gravidos. Lol, a mix of gravel and gyarados. Hidden “Ability Subterranean”, when is thrown into battle it spawns under ground. Pretty much meaning it starts halfway through dig. Lol, so silly… or OP?
Honestly this may be one of my favorite fakemon art videos not because of the art (though I absolutely love the art too) but because your process seems more realistic or feasible, most fakemon artists just feel unnaturally good at art and watching your work it feels more down to earth and something I could really learn from, sorry if none of what I’ve said makes sense, basically I really like your work and process
You should consider going a bit deeper into the Fakemons. Adding in your opinions of their base stats and perhaps some of their moves too. Great video btw! Hope to see more.
Congrats on blowing your goal out of the water man, and keep up the great art videos. With respect to Galeados, the fur tufts on the back seem very our of place, I get the design direction for them but they clash with the rest of the in-organic look. Perhaps having them look more like paper or confetti would help. Secondly you should include the types in the pokedex page, I loved seeing you include the abilities which add alot of character to the designs, and doing convergants in pairs could add alot of duality to the designs as sewn here. However if you decide to tackle a three stage mon, perhaps only focus on just that one for the video so you don't get burn out. Lastly, convergent evolution and paradox form videos will be a great way to grow your channel for the foreseeable future, but consider if you want to focus only on pokemon or branch out into other things. I highly recommend Subjectively's channel for inspiration and a look at what your future could hold in store for you
I love all four of these! They're very unique, and I love how you try to match the actual game style! My favorite is definitely magikite! Gaelados is also really cool; the only thing is that the eyes are kind if throwing me off. But, your designs are amazing!
I think Gaelados is very nice! The cute eyes look a bit funny, but in a nice way which sets the design apart from Gyrados and his aggressive glare. I also think its charming to see a big ol dancing paper dragon. Only change I would make to him would be to add some more black fur spots on his back, so that they can guide your eye. Still a lovely design though. You should be more confident ♥️
I love Galeados! I was already in love with it just from the symmetrical sketch shown before your final render of it. If they were real Pokemon I'd definitely have one on my team
So cool seeing a pokemon based off of bladder kelp, especially because I live near the sea and have popped so much of it haha. Great designs and concepts, keep it up!
Im loving this! Please consider making this into a series! Im going to check out your other videos! I hope your channel blows up because your work is professional!!
I adore these designs! I honestly adore the designs of Drifloon and Magikarp and their respective evolutions a ton, and seeing their convergents... sorta type swapped was really cool! Magikite is absolutely adorable, and I'd love a real plushie of it!
Convergent forms are the upgraded Regional Variants, new forms of familiar mons but not tied to specific regions. I love these concepts, keep it up and hope you get more recognized on here. Followed!
I definitely just subbed, but you deserve a lot more subs based solely on the fact that you do the description on the Pokédex voice. I got such a blast of nostalgia, thanks dude. Oh yea, the art was amazing too.
Congrats on your first six-digit-view video! I found this randomly from the algorithm and I'm glad you were blessed by it because you're really good at art! The Pokedex voice was a great touch, too
You did a great job on the design for Gaelados. The face looks a little silly, but when you added in the dex entry that it's a docile pokemon, it makes sense having the cute derpy face.

I actually thought they would make a regional form like that in a region for China.
That’s an idea done in Pokémon insurgence!
I agree 100% I like these ones a lot better than the originals 🎉😊😎🤗
2000.
The difference between the Views of this Video and the Holiday themed ones is astounding! You really landed a big hit with this one!
Was just thinking that! Hearing him get excited about 2k and then seeing 150k really was a feel good moment

About point 2, when people data mined Scarlet and Violet they found out that in the game's code, Toedscool and Toedscruel are called OKAKINGU and OKAGYARADOSU.
@@polaknasieci1331 I knew I remembered something like that, thanks for jogging my memory, I almost completely forgot about that.

literally sold the video to me, would not have clicked otherwise and i can say i wasn't disappointed with my choice
Im lowk bummed out cuz i am currently making a fan game of pokemon and i made a flying water wiscash, and made a beta design for the barboach as a kite fish months ago and this is way better lmao
@@Nes4187 use it as inspiration, no need to be discouraged
I actually hope they do something like Magikite & Gaelados in the game, it's a windsock that looks like Magikarp! 🎏
These designs look like genuine Pokémon designs which is definitely a hard thing to capture. Great job.
oh my god the names for all of these dudes are so good
edit: I do feel like Gaelados' face does look a tiny bit weird (I think its the eyes and the size of the forehead tbh) but Magikite is not only the best name, but the best design here, I absolutely adore him and I want 10 of them
My thought was the headcrest made the eyes have the anger slant, which doesnt really fit for an apparently super docile pokemon tbh
I love how Gyarados is a big bundle of rage while Gaelados is calm.
Driflagoon and Drifswim are definitely my favorite, they feel the most convergent to me, they feel like actual evolutionary coincidences unlike the official ones in S/V. You did a FANTASTIC job with these, heres your sub doc.

My favorite part of them is that they look like the shiny form of driftloon

Clodsire was needed.

Thank you, youtube algorithm, for actually recommending me a smaller, extremely talented content creator who makes awesome Pokémon content.
It seems like you hit algorithmic gold with this :) Love that you made all the art yourself. With Galeados would it perhaps look a bit better if he had a strip of fur running down the middle of his head to his nose?

These are really cool. I do think galedos' face looks kinda derpy and using the paper to separate the eyes like gyarados' horns do might've fixed it. Perhaps a paper fan or origami inspirations could have helped too. Or shishimai, look it up, would have worked!
Dude, you have no idea how excited I am to have another artist to follow on here. So pumped the algorithm dropped me off here!
Everything about this video is great. I especially love how you stuck to the Pokémon design philosophy all the way through.
Lol, I created a ground/dragon where you use splash 40 times on land with Magikarp and it evolves into Gravidos. Lol, a mix of gravel and gyarados. Hidden “Ability Subterranean”, when is thrown into battle it spawns under ground. Pretty much meaning it starts halfway through dig. Lol, so silly… or OP?
The way you replicate that Pokémon style is amazing
Honestly this may be one of my favorite fakemon art videos not because of the art (though I absolutely love the art too) but because your process seems more realistic or feasible, most fakemon artists just feel unnaturally good at art and watching your work it feels more down to earth and something I could really learn from, sorry if none of what I’ve said makes sense, basically I really like your work and process
You should consider going a bit deeper into the Fakemons. Adding in your opinions of their base stats and perhaps some of their moves too. Great video btw! Hope to see more.
You, friend, definitely did a bang up job~. And honestly, i’m just loving all four of these!
You have an excellent talent of capturing the proportions of Pokemon.
This is really awesome! I love both concepts. I'd love to see more designs from you in the future.
Congrats on blowing your goal out of the water man, and keep up the great art videos. With respect to Galeados, the fur tufts on the back seem very our of place, I get the design direction for them but they clash with the rest of the in-organic look. Perhaps having them look more like paper or confetti would help.
Secondly you should include the types in the pokedex page, I loved seeing you include the abilities which add alot of character to the designs, and doing convergants in pairs could add alot of duality to the designs as sewn here.
However if you decide to tackle a three stage mon, perhaps only focus on just that one for the video so you don't get burn out.
Lastly, convergent evolution and paradox form videos will be a great way to grow your channel for the foreseeable future, but consider if you want to focus only on pokemon or branch out into other things.
I highly recommend Subjectively's channel for inspiration and a look at what your future could hold in store for you
Love your concepts, designs, and names. Great work, thank you for the video.
Ahhh Drifblim is my favorite Pokémon so the beginning of this video made me so happy!!! Drifswim (and all the others) look amazing
these are so dope looking, the color scheme on the magikarp and gyrados remind me so much of the rainbow fish book as a kid!
I love all four of these! They're very unique, and I love how you try to match the actual game style! My favorite is definitely magikite! Gaelados is also really cool; the only thing is that the eyes are kind if throwing me off. But, your designs are amazing!
I think Gaelados is very nice! The cute eyes look a bit funny, but in a nice way which sets the design apart from Gyrados and his aggressive glare. I also think its charming to see a big ol dancing paper dragon.
Only change I would make to him would be to add some more black fur spots on his back, so that they can guide your eye.
Still a lovely design though. You should be more confident ♥️
Well,safe to say you surpassed the last video. Amazing talent, creativity, and an all around great video
I love Galeados! I was already in love with it just from the symmetrical sketch shown before your final render of it. If they were real Pokemon I'd definitely have one on my team
i love your passion and the results tell I want these to be real so bad but don't forget to include the typings of the pokemon, please
WHOA THIS IS SO COOL I love the false eyes for drifswim especially thats a nice touch
So cool seeing a pokemon based off of bladder kelp, especially because I live near the sea and have popped so much of it haha. Great designs and concepts, keep it up!
Im loving this! Please consider making this into a series! Im going to check out your other videos! I hope your channel blows up because your work is professional!!
I adore these designs!
I honestly adore the designs of Drifloon and Magikarp and their respective evolutions a ton, and seeing their convergents... sorta type swapped was really cool!
Magikite is absolutely adorable, and I'd love a real plushie of it!
I love this so much!!!!! Gaelados looks absolutely incredible!!
I’m so proud of you, friend! You’re getting the recognition you deserve. You came a long way and I’m so happy for you. Keep it up!
I really like how driflagoon and drifswim's colour palettes resemble drifloon and drifblims shiny colours
This dude is out here making better designs than most Pokemon. These look phenomenal and I wish they were actually in S/V
I had this exact idea for a convergent Magikarp and Gyarados the other day, your designs translated really well what I envisioned , amazing work!
Drifloon and Drifblim are two of my favourite Pokémon and I loved to see convergent forms for them! Very fun vid
Convergent forms are the upgraded Regional Variants, new forms of familiar mons but not tied to specific regions. I love these concepts, keep it up and hope you get more recognized on here. Followed!
I LOVE Driftlagoon and Driftswim! They look so authentic. I wish they were real so I could go catch them. Great job!
These are really fantastic designs! Two of the best I've seen!
I really hope they expand on the convergent evolutions in DLC
Great designs! These Pokémon are majestic
I definitely just subbed, but you deserve a lot more subs based solely on the fact that you do the description on the Pokédex voice. I got such a blast of nostalgia, thanks dude. Oh yea, the art was amazing too.
I love the fact that you use the og pokedex voice!! You’re so talented! Loved itb
Congrats on your first six-digit-view video! I found this randomly from the algorithm and I'm glad you were blessed by it because you're really good at art! The Pokedex voice was a great touch, too
You did a great job on the design for Gaelados.
The face looks a little silly, but when you added in the dex entry that it's a docile pokemon, it makes sense having the cute derpy face.
Those fakemon looks so cool!! I love them!! They also look like real pokemon.
