Description For the contest. Anyone who knows me would know there's no possible way my pokesona wouldn't be an eevee. I'm just obsessive like that. But I couldn't 'just' be an eevee. >w>

Name: Aria
Gender: Female
Species: Eevee (most of the time)
Eye color: Bright blue
Distinctive Markings: Her ear tips are the same color as her neck poof and outlined in darker brown, as is her tail. Her belly is also neck-poof-colored, but not outlined in dark brown.

Personality: Generally happy and optimistic, Aria is a great listener and loyal friend. She isn't a fan of conflict, although she still enjoys battling immensely and can be very fierce sometimes (play battling is great, but she would attack something in a heartbeat if she thought a loved one were being threatened). Aria can also be extremely stubborn, unnaturally paranoid, or overly sensitive.

Story: (inspired by a story in the manga) Aria was born without the ability to evolve ... or rather, STAY evolved. If she happened to touch a fire stone, she would evolve into a flareon and stay one as long as she was touching the stone. At first this defect was fun for Aria because she could experience every different evolution possible, but eventually she became annoyed at being unable to remain one. As a solution, Aria wears a small pouch around her neck (stolen from a Murkrow, for at one point it held shiny jewelery) containing pieces of fire, water, and thunder stones, sun and moon shards, and fragments of an ice crystal from Snow Point City and a moss rock from Eterna Forest. Whenever she needs to evolve for any reason, she can take out a stone and hold it for as long as she feels like staying the evolution. Usually she keeps the stone in her mouth to ensure easier movement, but she can be quite vulnerable this way if hit hard in battle.

The story behind the paws: A pokemon artist painting several Metapod in the forest ran home to retrieve something (it's not like the metapod would have moved XP), but he left his art supplies out. Aria, being quite curious, came across the seemingly abandoned items and went to investigate. She was highly amused by his paints and began to play with them, making finger-ehm, "paw"paintings all over the trees and ground. She left before the artist returned (although she certainly would have loved to see his face when he stumbled upon her artwork ), but no matter how many puddles she splashed in, the paint would not come off. She had unintentionally dyed her paws four different colors. Other eevees made fun of her for it, but her friends thought it was pretty (which helped Aria, since she couldn't help but be embarrassed at first). When she evolves, her paws remain dyed.

Done in Photoshop CS4 (and it took forever XP)

is the pouch by any change full of evolution stone chips? that's a concept of my sis!

TsukiTsu In reply to brandi3981 [2011-02-02 20:43:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it is. She can only evolve if the stone is touching her, so she keeps little stone pieces in the pouch. Ooo, your sister had the same idea? I actually got the idea from a manga where an eevee could do that. XD

brandi3981 In reply to TsukiTsu [2011-02-03 01:14:08 +0000 UTC]

hmm yeah she told me she wanted one that could temparily bee an evolution & go back & choose another probably by whereing the stone pieces as a necklace & she also told me she figured w/o the necklace if it loved u it would be espeon during the day & umbreon at night

she knows about the manga but doesn't own any of them

TsukiTsu In reply to brandi3981 [2011-02-03 03:46:29 +0000 UTC]

That's also a really good idea! In one of the games, espeons and umbreons could evolve using a sun or moon shard, so I just stuck with that (since it's something touchable XD).

pessoadapaz [2010-05-30 00:01:10 +0000 UTC]

Gosh Rachel, this is absolutely amazing! Definitely my favorite digital piece you've done so far. Every wittle eeveelution is so intricate and detailed...all of the coloring and shading is super accurate and well done.

The background is very mufasa-ly textured, too. How'd ya do it, master? (See, you have already surpassed me in Photoshop skillzz).

I think my absolute favorite parts of this are the eyes, especially Eevee's! They're so diverse in their colors and look very lively.

Since you like critique, I will add a little piece...the only piece I can think of. Anyways, this is stupid, but my nitpickiness noticed that all the eeveelutions aren't centered in their rays of colors. Some are off center, some are centered. It's really not a big deal, though, hehe.

Ilsquila!

TsukiTsu In reply to pessoadapaz [2010-05-30 00:43:08 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thanks a lot! So many compliments ... and a critique!!! Love love love~ Those eeveelutions took lotsa time when I had to zoom in and out to get them right, but I think it was worth it in the end. :3 And question ... diverse in eyes? I'm happy you think so, but I used all the same colors for each one ...

I didn't surpass you in PS skills, I cheated. X3 The background is a pattern overlay, and so are the pokemon (different ones though), then the opacity was changed so you could still see their colors. The ripply thing between each color was done by me selecting the area around the places where the colors met and choosing one of the effects in distort ... I can't remember what it was, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 'ripple.'

Ya know what? That bothered me a little too ... XP I wanted to center a couple of them more, but by centering them in the colors, I would throw off how far each one was away from the other (so my fault is not making the colors in the right places XD). Thanks for critiquing this! Don't worry or think it's stupid or anything, I really do like crits. ^^

Iil khila back at ya!

pessoadapaz In reply to TsukiTsu [2010-05-30 08:38:06 +0000 UTC]

Aah yes, it definitely was worth it .
Sorry, that was bad wording...I meant all the different shades in the eyes make them look even more amazing. Diverse shades of colors is what I meant, I think, lol...

Aaaah, well still, that takes Photoshop skills, mmmmyes?

Aaaah, I understand about that, hehe. Mmk I'm glad you like 'em . I still feel funny critiquing this, though...it's like trying to find flaws in something that is perfect how it is. Heh...

Ilsquila boomerang!

Oh, I see now ... thank you! And sure... it totally takes skill ... you just want me to feel better about my novice-ness. >3

Haha, you flatter me ... you don't have to critique if you don't wanna, silly, but if something sticks out to you that you don't think is right, go right ahead and tell me.

Draw4life [2010-05-26 00:43:25 +0000 UTC]

very cool and unique idea. What i really like is that you've included a bio for your pokesona, which I haven't seen at all (as of yet) for many of the other entries (except mine I was kinda hoping no one else would get the idea to, since it would make mine stand out in the contest, but I still enjoy reading the bios that people come up with ). I really like the idea that Aria can't stay evolved (especially since it fits with the description of eevee and that eevee are genetically unstable and all, allowing them to evolve into so many different evolutions!), it's very unique and I haven't seen that kind of idea before! Congratulations! I'm gonna enjoy to see if one of us wins I know that this is worthy competition!

TsukiTsu In reply to Draw4life [2010-05-26 03:26:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! *long comment makes me twirl*

I'm pretty sure you're one of the only other people with a bio, too ... and I just went to see which one was yours and was happy to find that it was the one I planned on voting for already. XD I'll comment on it in a second; it's very well done. ^^ Yeah, to me having a bio, even if it's short (which I couldn't help but not do~ XP) gives you a better idea of who the pokemon is. And it shows the person took time to think about their pokeself~ It's also just fun coming up with backstories. >w<

Wow, that's really high praise ... but same goes for you! You have a definite place-worthy entry.
