a prehistoric encounter!

Fossil YAMASK (Ghost/Rock) & Fossil DWEBBLE (Dragon/Rock)

This two pokemon has made their home in a vast ravine rich in fossils, the constant interaction with the fossilized remains eventually caused some changes in their physical appearence as well as behaviour.

Fossil YAMASK carries the fossilized claw of an ancient raptor like predator.By doing so this pokemon has been able to channel this predators spirit from the afterlife. Thanks to his the pokemon has started to look more like such creature, featuing feather like spikes and claw like fingers. It brandishes the Claw as a weapon and uses it to fight.

Fossil DWEBBLE has made its rocky shell using a piece of bedrock that contains the skull of an ancient ceratopsid. Somehow having such remains constantly on them has affected them on a genetic level, making them tougher and more aggresive, choosing to fight head on instead of hiding inside their shells.

This pokemon evolve by leveling up inside of the ravine into DEINORYGUS (Ghost/Rock) & STYRACRUST (Dragon/Rock)

DEINORYGUS (from Deinonychus) now posseses the fossilized remains of the original predator from wich the original claw came, still embeded in stone. Despite its looks it can move with incredible speed, and having freed the fossil's sickle like claws from the rock, it uses them to slice its opponets with ferocity.

STYRACRUST (from Styracosaurus) now carries a fully developed ceratopsian skull on top of its rocky shell. Its body now has changed to become as tough as the skull with sets of armored horns that can be used for both defense and attack. It uses the large horns of the skull to fend of predators as well as compete with other members of its species for territory.

I've been busy with some music, and kabuto wanted to help ^^ (not sure if he's mimicking me, or just likes watching the leds pulse)

I actually have been busy with music, but I had modeled Kabuto last week, so I was able to make this quick animation. the insperation is pictures I see of peoples cats trying to play instruments, and the drum machine on my desk.  

I did make the drum machine today, and I'm quite proud of the led animation. animation those kinds of light sequences in blender is kind of a pain. I used geometry nodes to set an attribute value which drives the texture. it was harder then kabuto's little dance.

what is WRONG with this guy

this was a request from ko-fi! if you'd like to send in a request, shoot me a $5 donation on ko-fi with the name of a pokemon or animal crossing villager of your choice & i'll draw it!

With the miracle of science we have managed to bring fossil pokemon back to life, it seems that these ancient monsters possess a wild elemental power that awakens when using movements of their types

Fossil TINKATINK, Fossil TINKATUFF & PTENKATON (Fairy/Rock)

And here are the next fossil forms, this time is the TINKATON line, who now uses the many fossils from the ravine to create digging tools.

Their hands and feet are covered in dirt from digging so much in search of more bones, and with time this dirt has become a protective layer, like boots and gloves.

TINKATINK uses the skull of an Austriadactylus and a fossilized egg as a shovel and pail, the sand around its feet resembles flip-flops

TINKATUFF uses the skull and bones of a Pteranodon Sternbergi as a pickaxe and the dome of a Pachysephalosaurus as a helmet

PTENKATON has made a Jackhammer out of several bones, with the skull resembling that of a Tropeognatus, and the dome of a Stygimoloch as a helmet

They have an ability called "Earth Mover" that boost the power of ground type moves, so, despite being rock types they have acces to all the "bone" and "drill" moves

So, what are some differences between fossil mon that were revived and fossil mon that were bred and hatched in modern day?

not as much as you'd think. when fossil pokemon are "revived," what's really happening is that DNA is extracted from fossils in good enough condition, and that DNA is used to produce a fertilized egg. you're not actually bringing the same individual back to life, just producing a genetic clone. the main difference is that breeding a new individual results in a genetically distinct pokemon.

theoretically we could get by with only breeding fossil pokemon at this point, but 1. getting these ancient pokemon to successfully breed in our modern age can be tough and 2. we're hoping to establish further genetic diversity in our populations of these pokemon so that we can continue raising and studying them far into the future.
