Op I am on my knees begging for ANY bit of information about that grass type horse starter you made I cant dtop staring at it I am so in love with the design PLEASe anything about them -
i'm very honored that you liked the design! however, there is not much to say about it, hehe... i was thinking of ideas for a pokemon-inspired game and wanted to design three starter monsters. All three designs were rather selfish; I just ended up drawing what I liked most in creature design without being limited to what i think a pokemon "should" look like (after all they are technically not pokemon!) But i did keep in mind what makes a good starter: a sense of growth with each evolution. Going from cute to cool really conveys that the creature is growing and getting stronger, reflecting how the player character should feel.
I had always wanted a pegasus pokemon, one that looks like a magical girl complete with ribbons and a mask. The grass horsie line was based on that. I thought having it be a 'grass' type would suit it well, bc a green/pink/white palette (one of my fave color combos) would mesh well with the image i had in mind. Big flowers would look very cute, and they could serve as the ribbon/mask motif too. As for the wings, I thought fur growing from the horsie's belly and eventually becoming wings would also look cool. The horsie's peppy personality completed the magical girl charm. In short, it really was just whatever i think looked good hehe...
I haven't given any of them names, or even official typings. I suppose 'plant' type makes the most sense, with the final stage being either plant/air type or plant/magic type (subs for flying and fairy types respectively).
Sorry for the rant! Thanks again for the ask :-D
