These are actually amazing Psychic/Poison-type Fakemon designed by @darksilvania.bsky.social who gave me permission to make some fan art (and hypothetical shinies) of some of my all time favorite designs 🧡💜

The Ethereal Gates starters in the gen 3-5 style from a few weeks ago which kicked off the whole thing of making all of them.

Demo 1.0 or the 1.1 patch? Which designs do you prefer?
I'll be honest, the old Abdoscus grew on me while I was making these.

Happy 10th Birthday, Ethereal Gates Demo (Sea & Sky)
I always wished there were party icons, but I guess they were just ahead of the curve on phasing them out. So, I made some of my own. I'll always love this game 💜

A while back I remade some Fakemon from Quartz as a sort of daily warm-up (with no context, just the existing sprite). I still really like these, and it's a fun low-stakes exercise.

One of my proudest designs, a spooky Klefki form that got featured on Subjectively's YouTube channel a couple years ago (and the more recent redesign I did on the right).

Ghost-type Pokémon cookies from a few years ago.
I still cannot stop thinking about these as acrylic charms or stickers... I think I'll have to make it happen this year.

My fleeting interest in Animal Crossing did lead to some cute ideas, why only sheep though? Not sure, but Ampharos is one of my favorite Pokémon of all time.
