MOTU-Themed Pokemon Teams - Part 1

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4

Going to split this into multiple posts because there is a lot of them. This first post will have teams meant to represent an entire faction. After this they will all be teams of 6 with a MOTU character trainer. All Pokemon are allowed, including shinies, legendaries, and even beta Pokemon. I imagine this all taking place on an alternate MOTU universe where all the Eternian/Etherian magical creatures are Pokemon instead.

Faction Team: Heroic Warriors

He-Man - GOROTORA: Very cute unreleased electric tiger Pokemon. This is Cringer/Battlecat, He-Man's faithful tiger. The electric type fits because both He-Man and Battle-Cat are powered up after the Power Sword 'charges' them with lightning.

Teela - RAPIDASH: Teela rides a golden unicorn in the original minicomics. The 'firey' red mane also suits Teela.

Orko - PORYGON-Z: Both travel through alien dimensions and are small levitating beings thought to behave strangely. Computers and machines struggle to analyze or make sense of Orko's existence, and Porygon-Z is a computer glitch. Their eyes and color palettes are also very similar.

Sorceress - HISUIAN BRAVIARY: The extra eyes above Braviary's face look similar to the Sorceress headress. The Psychic/Flying type fits her nature as a powerful magic user and ability to transform into a falcon.

Man-At-Arms - BETA OCTILLERY: The beta version of Octillery was designed to look like a tank, which fits Duncan well enough with his military experience, but also has Octillery wearing a matching helmet to its trainer. I imagine this version as a water/steel type.

Roboto - GOLURK: Roboto is a Robotican explorer from another world, and Golurk's robot-like appearance and ability to turn into a rocket fit this very well.

Faction Team: Evil Warriors

Credit to ExoticPoke for official art recolored to match Shiny Drednaw: https://www.deviantart.com/exoticpoke/art/0834-Shiny-Drednaw-979755953

Skeletor - ALOLAN MAROWAK: In one episode of the cartoon, Skeletor creates an army of miniature versions of himself. In this Pokemon-filled universe, he wouldn't need to go to that effort, as tiny skull-faced magic users already exist. Fire/ghost is a fitting type as blasts of flame and necromancy are some of Skeletor's most iconic magical abilities.

Evil-Lyn - WEAVILE: Same hat!

Beast Man - DARMANITAN: Both are red-furred primates with some form of psychic abilities.

Mer-Man - SWAMPERT: These two look like twins! Swampert is partially based on a mudskipper, a type of fish which can travel on land - Mer-Man is also a fish that travels on land.

Trap-Jaw - SHINY DREDNAW: Maybe the most perfect fit here! The discolored lower jaw, the tiny hole in the head protrusion for both (Trap-Jaw's is meant to allow ziplining, I don't know why Drednaw has it but glad it does), and the colors all make these two a perfect match.

Tri-Klops - SPIDOPS: Spidops doesn't shoot eye beams, but the ogre spider it is based on has incredible powers of vision just like Tri-Klops! The ogre spider's eyes are 2,000 times more sensitive to light than humans! These two also look very much alike, especially the head/helmet, and their names happen to also rhyme!

Faction Team: Great Rebellion

She-Ra - GALARIAN RAPIDASH: She-Ra's faithful unicorn steed Swift Wind! The psychic/fairy typing is a great fit for She-Ra as she has a wide array of magical powers herself.

Mermista - PRIMARINA: Primarina resembles a mermaid with flowing blue hair, making her a spitting image of her trainer. The fact that Primarina is a magical singing seal gives the two another connection: Mermista has the ability to change from her mermaid form to a human one, similar to the selkies of Celtic/Norse mythology who could don their sealskin to transform into a seal or shed the skin to appear human.

Castaspella - DELPHOX: Delphox is based on spellcasters, and the two share similar color schemes.

Sweet Bee - RIBOMBEE: Sweet Bee resembles both a fairy and a bee, though she is actually an alien species. Ribombee is fairy-type and resembles a bee, but is actually a different species called a bee fly.

Bow - HISUIAN DECIDUEYE: Bow is a guy with a bow. Decidueye is an owl that uses its curved wings as bows. The hisuian version has matching colors, and the patterning on its chest is closer to the heart on Bow's.

Flutterina - BUTTERFREE: They are both butterflies :-)

Faction Team: Evil Horde

Hordak - SHINY GLALIE: Same face and red eyes.

Shadow Weaver - SHINY CRADILY: Yellow eyes in a black void, cloaked in red.

Mosquitor - BUZZWOLE: They are both buff mosquitos! Mosquitor also has legs similar to Mantenna, another red Horde member.

Catra - BETA-LIEPARD: Liepard's moody and vicious personality and dark typing fit Catra well, but this recently leaked beta version fits even better with the same color palette.

Leech - SHINY EELEKTROSS: Not only do they look very similar, they both drain prey like a leech! Due to being a lamprey, eelektross also has a very fitting sucker-like mouth and even suckers on hands. I probably should have displayed Leech in the configuration that has sucker mouth and hands also.

Entrapta - SHINY MEGA MAWILE: Not only is the hairstyle and color very close, both can move and 'entrap' people in their hair!

Faction Team: Snake Men

Credit to Anarlaurendil for official art recolored to match Shiny Dudunsparce: https://www.deviantart.com/anarlaurendil/art/Dudunsparce-shiny-HD-994175646

Tyrantisaurus Rex - TYRANTRUM: As a beast of the Snake Men, Tyrantisaurus Rex would not ordinarily be a trainer, but it's fine for a team meant to overview the faction in general. Anyway they're both T-Rexes and the 'crown' on Tyrantum fits as this would be the mount of King Hiss.

King Hiss - SERPERIOR: Because King Hiss believes that 'serpents' are 'superior'! Also color scheme/nobility theme.

Reptilax - SEVIPER: Reptilax is a user of bladed weapons such as axes and swords, making Seviper a perfect fit. Could have also worked well for Fang-Or due to having the longest fangs of the snake Pokemon, but I like Reptilax a bit better.

Snake Face - ONIX: Snake Face is a snake man that turns people to stone with his scary snake face. Onix is a snake made of stone.

Kobra Khan - ARBOK: Arbok is Kobra Khan's first name spelled backwards. Also they can both spit venom!

Rattlor - SHINY DUDUNSPARCE: I am pretty sure this is the closest that the snake pokemon come to a rattlesnake, but this one has a drill instead! The red/yellow color scheme of the shiny fits well.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed, the trainer team parts will look slightly nicer than this.

WAKE THE HELL UP! IT'S SATYR-DAY!

The Satyr and the Mer-man.

Posted this fifteen minutes ago, half-expecting that it would be immediately flagged, but no. Nanny-bot missed this one.

IT IS YOUR DUTY to report this post to Tumblr. Can't have the ladies and children viewing such filth.

New Gallery Header for DeviantArt

But yeah, in preparation of moving my original stuff to a different DA gallery down the road, I wanted to create a header for my OG gallery that would remain for fanart (and the occasional original design that doesn't belong to any actual story). I eventually landed on this composition of various franchises and I'm actually really really happy with how this turned out!

Sure, some franchises might only have a couple of entries in my gallery, but I wanted to emphasize my widespreaded interests, and that this is indeed a fanart gallery, with some AU/headcanon/original design thrown in the mix occasionally.

Been a bit for this, but after drawing some of the Heroic Warriors as Cookie Run characters, I decided to do the same for some Evil Warriors! Most are Filmation-oriented, but I felt the 200X way was better for Tri-Klops.

Formerly Prince Goatmilk Cookie, being saved from crumbling turned the thought-to-be heir of the Milk Kingdom into Sugar Skull Cookie! Despite his sugary skull, he is dripping with bitter malice, especially towards his nephew, Prince Buttermilk Cookie. With his powerful Goatmilk Staff, he leads his own team of evil warriors to take on the heroic cookies in an attempt to get the secrets of Castle Earlgrayskull for himself. However, he's also found himself against Dark Enchantress Cookie and her group lately. One of the only things Sugar Skull Cookie cares for is Berry Drop Panther. Rival to TigerMilk Morsel, he is a fierce and vindictive kitty! He makes for a good Combi bonus with his master, but is far more content to lounge around the lair when he's not in need. Being taken in by Sugar Skull Cookie's team from the streets is Nightshade Cookie. A powerful sorceress, she unfortunately seems to have it drilled in that she's meant for the Evil Warriors. There's a good side there somewhere, but it feels like it's being hidden far too strongly by a combination of underconfidence, manipulation, and false praise. Despite her heavily unwavering loyalty to the Evil Warriors, she has a respect for Miracleberry Cookie, along with a heavy rivalry towards Pomegranate Cookie. The literal brute squad of the Evil Warriors is Bearclaw Cookie. Armed with burnt almond claws, he is the biggest muscle of the Evil Warriors. With the ability to control nearly any Cookie Pet, he makes for devastating Combis with nearly every creature. Despite this, he can never combo with TigerMilk Morsel and is easy to outwit by the heroes. Despite his rough exterior, he cares for Nightshade Cookie, and worries about what paths she might be taking. Gummy Fish Cookie is a former ruler of a kingdom in the soda seas. Disposed from his role, he has allied himself as a third party with Sugar Skull Cookie. Only showing up when he's called for, he's more content to lay waste to anyone that tries to doubt his authority. Despite this, he is very protective of the seas. He has a soft spot for Squid Ink Cookie and Sorbet Shark Cookie, is interested in the history of Sugarteara, and reveres Sea Fairy Cookie. Holding onto life from a combination of errant oven parts and science is Jawbreaker Cookie. Second in strength to Bearclaw Cookie, along with second in wits, he is armed with a multitude of amazing things. With a mechanical arm that can be swapped into other weaponry and a jaw that can snap a cookie like a, well, cookie, he's a living army. Thankfully he's also easy to bamboozle, something that helps the heroes fight him. Blinded in both real life and by Sugar Skull Cookie is Spumoni Cookie. Once an amazing swordsman and scientist that preferred to be alone, he was given a helmet of three different ingredients by Sugar Skull Cookie. While this has restored his vision, it has also been brainwashing him into being one of Sugar Skull Cookie's minions. However, his scientific apt is not dulled whatsoever. He was the one to bring Jawbreaker Cookie back to life, and is constantly creating new inventions in attempts to turn the tide towards the side of evil.
