OCTILLERINK 2024 - 27. RUINS OF ALPH

I always loved the idea of the Unowns being little shits.

Also you have no idea how much I kept solving the Kabuto puzzle wrong when I was little. I was not smart xD;

It's the lab in the Ruins of Alph and one of the item rooms. Can you decipher all the references? :)

Before heading to the next town for our Gym Challenge, we were given a school assignment from Morty. Our assignment was to study Pokemon that we hadn’t seen before in our Pokedex. He recommended we check out the Ruins of Alph if we hadn’t gone yet. Mark and Theo said they’d been by before, but didn’t know of and Pokemon living near there. The last time they’d gone, no Pokemon were around.

We decided to head that way in the morning so we’d have most of the day to travel, mostly since we needed to back-track. We took a break along the way to visit Kurt. Although he was a little grumpy when we saw him, he gave me and my friends some extra Poke Balls he’d been working on. He gave us a Heavy Ball, a Lure Ball, and a Heal Ball he had leftover. By the time we reached Azalea Town, we needed to rest before getting to the Ruins of Alph.

After saying our goodbyes, we left the following morning. It took only a few hours to get there, and we immediately got to looking around to try and find some mysterious Pokemon.

We decided to check out some of the ruins and noticed some puzzles on walls, or maybe it was writing from an ancient language? We looked around to see if we could decipher anything. And just as we thought we’d figured something out, Theo moved pieces of a wall and solved a puzzle. Out of nowhere, the floor beneath us collapsed and we fell below ground.

We landed in a dark part of the ruins and had the think quickly on a way to get out. All of a sudden… we saw a bright flash of light coming from behind us.

Ruins of Alph Ho-Oh replica

I was yet again approached by one of my friends to create something from Pokémon, namely the Ho-Oh puzzle from the Ruins of Alph from Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal. I did such a good job with my previous Pokémon creations that they felt compelled to have something too. This time I was compensated fairly.

I used a screen shot from the Game Boy Color game, traced it in Adobe Illustrator. Instead of trying an exact copy I tried to imitate a look of a ragged outline that resembles the pixelated look without being too on the nose.

Then the file needed to be converted into a SVG in Inkscape (because of some wonkyness importing it into Autodesk Fusion 360), and then imported it into Autodesk Fusion 360, where I extruded the areas into a 3D-printable giant cookie cutter model. With that giant cookie cutter printed out I put that immediately into action and stamped an equally-sized slab of polymer clay (about 15cm x 15cm) and textured it with a balled-up piece of aluminium foil. After 30 minutes of baking and a little bit of cool-off time the most arduous part began with the painting process. It took me about 6 hours of carefully building up (and messing up) the paint job with the crappy acrylic paint that won't get used up fast enough. I messed it up a few times trying some color experiments and using my miniature painting washes. The last part was that gave me the most head ache as they are hard to fix when applied. Washing or rubbing it off meant that the crappy acrylic paint would also be removed. I felt stuck at some point using the wash as it made the surface too glossy and the brown darkened a ton. I was disheartened for a bit but rolled with that mistake. All I wanted was to have some minor darker variations. The majority of the time painting on it was to create a more coherent look by switching between dry brushing and applying very thinned layers of more washes. I got to a point that made me happy again with the outcome (also a little bit of sleep helped too).

For the photo I used my Canon EOS 350D (Canon EOS Rebel XT), for which I needed to buy a new battery. The old battery couldn't hold a charge. Next to my house there is a big patch of moss I find quite appealing to look at and I thought it would complement the golden-brown paint job very well. I propped it up with a small box so the whole thing wouldn't sink completely into the squishy moss bed.

crazy interesting about the ruins of alph!!!!

[rambling-for-self-improvement]

English and Braille are dead languages in the Pokémon world comparable to Sumarian or Hieroglyphs.

Also it took me until today to realize it's the Ruins of Alph...as in...alphabet...

I feel so dumb for that one

The radio broadcast never ends. It just goes on, and on... and on...

I can... hear someone... people. People discussing it. Did I find my way... here? The Ruins of Alph Research Center... I think I did. They left a microphone on. I hear them. ...Confusion?

The radio broadcast doesn't end. I don't know if they know.

[arcturusgeneral]

Been swamped with work, mix it with preparations to move house and lack of energy and that meant I just wasn't drawing anything, but today, I felt like just doing my own thing.

So I did.

I kinda just drew a building from Alph and it went from there, with stuff gradually being added, once I did the frame to fit the letters, I realised I had a blank space, so I drew an Arceus shrine like the one in Jubilife village with a little Chikorita looking up at in front, don't know how clear that is, but eh.

References:

I used the card to get the general idea of the building, the screenshot I found online to do the shrine, and the Chikorita to get a general idea of the shape.
