QUARANTINE CRYSTAL 0.8 RELEASES THIS SATURDAY

[latenightagain]

drownsuguy is based on the european folklore archetype of "guy has the worst name you have ever heard and sits in a pond and don't go too close because he'll GET YOU" (see jenny greenteeth, nelly longarms, rawhead-and-bloody-bones, peg powler, etc) he wasn't even supposed to be a qdex mon! i laughed a lot at his stupid name but thought it'd be too silly for other people, but then i showed my community some of my extended non-romhack mons and they seized him like some sort of guy in a pond. people are usually unnerved to find out that's a standard distillery barrel and drownsuguy is enormous.

our early route bugs, based on parasitic wasps and mosquitos, and the medical mummy. since injectoid develops from the eggs laid on buzzling's back, technically buzzling is not part of the same evolutionary line!

these guys are of course komondors, also known as mop dogs. i thought turning the mop handle into a unicorn horn was really funny progression. it's a little love letter to gen 1 silliness.

[latenightagain]

these ones are based on a very odd crude sketch, the resulting strange mon is possibly the most divisive thing in the dex haha no notes, he's just a weird guy

one of a few dr seuss inspired monsters, this two-guys-in-a-llama-suit's pose is based on that one photo of john lenon. recently we were making sure people are not restricted to birds and fish for field moves, so lamyglama ended up with fly for the lucy in the sky with diamonds joke.

dragonfruit fruitbats, tried to make the final stage equally king and fool. we used the name fluffruit before TPC did, hope they don't C&D us!

[latenightagain]

one of our early birds, based on my favourite bird, the hoatzin! they hatch with fully formed clawed hands, which they climb with. the hands metamorphose into regular wings as they grow. they smell like manure and are also known as "stinkbird"! go look them up, they are beautiful!

this hippocampus is inspired by some of my favourite strandbeests. standbeests are in my opinion some of the most captivating art ever made, if you are somehow not yet familiar with these enchanting lifelike skeleton-machines then please check them out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C97kMKwZ2-g

waiting a long time for the bus art for the elephoot card for the qdex tcg

[latenightagain]

the retroglyphs were a community effort! i made 5ish of them but for brevity i'll stick to my favourite of those. aside from some special cases they're all based on real cave art. my top favourite is the one we call hands, based on cueva de las manos, in my opinion the most awe inspiring prehistoric site of them all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cueva_de_las_Manos#

[latenightagain]

these abominable snowmen are based on blood falls glacier! it's a flow of iron-rich water and anaerobic microorganisms that has been sealed off for 1.5-2 million years! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Falls
