I think Iron Boulder would be a silly lil guy

You know how when you look at birds from the side they look regal and intimidating, but from front on they look goofy AF? Same is true for many of my crochets and especially Iron Boulder

I can kinda squish his face to temporarily look not so lopsided front on, but it's naturally silly looking like that 😭

Bonus pic from above that makes him look like some kind of mecha

#639.? - According to legend, Terrakion, alongside the other Swords of Justice, had challenged humans in order to protect other Pokémon and their homes. Said to possess phenomenal strength, Terrakion cannot stand bullies, and will mercilessly crush anyone or anything that torments small or weak Pokémon. Theorized to be a possible transitional form between Terrakion and the mysterious Iron Boulder discovered in Area Zero, this Pokémon is beginning to develop a powerful metallic body and psychic capabilities. Its body retains the rugged, bulky appearance of its predecessor, but faint crystalline growths on its horns and legs suggest a shift toward more energy-based abilities. Some researchers theorize that Iron Boulder is merely a counterpart of Terrakion from another timeline, while others hypothesize that it was once been an ordinary Terrakion that was modified by a villainous organization in the far future. If this speculative evolution truly exists, it may hold the key to understanding how a creature of raw, natural strength could evolve into the cold, calculated machine that is Iron Boulder.

Day one thousand twenty two 1022 Iron Boulder

Jan-New-Ary Day 9/10! Took 7h20. Paradox pokemon are so! weird! This one wasn't too hard but it was difficult for me to tell the two different shades of gray apart, I probably could've just done the one gray since they're so similar anyway 😵‍💫

Since all the future paradox mons have the same shiny concept, instead of asking you about each individual shiny you could explain which ones rock the unpainted look and which ones could use a better shiny

I know a lot of people don't like the future paradox shinies, but honestly, I'm okay with them. I think the unpainted look is a cool concept that works well conceptually, and the chrome look also fits the theme well. Granted, I do wish they were allowed to have more variation in their shinies instead of all being forced into the exact same template (swapping the remaining accent colors instead of just leaving them would've helped a lot with this), but overall they're neat.

The big make-or-break thing is just how different they look from the originals. The worst paradoxes are the ones where their base forms are already pretty silver in color, so the change isn't that noticeable, such as with these three:

Iron Treads: All they did was make the black areas silver, which isn't that noticeable as there wasn't a lot of black on it to begin with. The red areas also feel like they clash with the gray too much. If they had swapped the red for a blue or something and lightened the grey, there could've been something here.

Iron Moth: Once again, the gray's a bit too low-contrast here, and the body was mostly white to begin with, making the change only somewhat noticeable. Going for red wings could've helped spruce it up. Not terrible, but not great.

Iron Boulder: Same issue of just negating relatively minor black accents to gray when the body was already gray, resulting in a low-contrast design that's hard to tell apart from the originals. Also they left the hooves black for some reason and that bugs me more than it should.

Meanwhile, shinies for 'mons that aren't gray by default work a lot better. These include:

Iron Bundle: Because Iron Bundle is normally red and white with no gray whatsoever, the shiny really stands out. The gray gives it a bit of a colder, icier look, and the cyan accents really pop nicely.

Iron Leaves: Similar to Iron Bundle, the entire body is normally green, only this time with very minimal gray on the underside. This means that the shiny really stands out as being shiny, and the bright print accents look very nice. I do think it could've used a bit more black for contrast's sake, but that's not a big deal.

Iron Thorns: This one has a double concept going for it, as in addition to the unpainted thing it also looks even more like mechagodzilla now. The black accents give it a good amount of contrast, and the greens stand out all the more compared to the green-on-green look of the original.

Overall: Paradox shinies work decently overall, but it mostly depends on the base color. Changing more accent colors and allowing for a little more variation could've helped while still keeping the concept intact.
