Description
Hey everyone, this week I did Ditto for my concept, requested by for winning first place in the last contest for my Pokemon group ^^Ditto is the epitome of simplistic Pokemon, so it was really hard to make this concept resemble the original design. So I tried something a little out of the norm. I went with an orge like design, based off of the Japanese Oni. A dumb orge that has the ability to shape shift.
I actually animated it to change forms, but sadly I can't upload it as a GIF (screws with the colours), and when I upload the SWF it doesnt resize it properly. If anyone knows about how to upload an animation on DA properly, please comment or note me ^^

I admit that when I imagine an anthropomorphic version of Ditto, an ogre is the last thing that comes to mind. So I was incredibly surprised to see that you chose that form for him in this picture. I like how you took the idea of Ditto being a small, cute, squishy, harmless-looking Pokemon and completely turned it around--he is now an enormous, fearsome-looking monster. I like how you drew his rough, warty hide, and how his club has warts too. I also like the shining third eye in his forehead, and the glow coming from his staff, and how his big round belly is hanging over his belt. (Has he perhaps killed and eaten a victim? And as he stares at the viewer, is he preparing to make us part of his next meal?) I also like the tattered pink wings on his back; at first I wondered why he had them, since Ditto isn't a Flying Type, but then I realized that they reference the outstretched arms and bulges of the original Pokemon. Ditto's design made me think of the trolls and giants from the Harry Potter books; as with your Aggron Concept, I can just imagine this guy as a character in a video game or even a fantasy novel.
I'd really love to see the version where Ogre Ditto transforms. I want to see his powers in action!

Haha thank you so much for the kind words! I love these, your so good at writing them ^^ You hit the nail on the head! A lot of the things you mentioned are actually features the Japanese Oni regularly have (Such as the third eye), so I had to add them, as they were definitely a huge inspiration for this one! I'm so glad you like it!
Ps. DA wont let me upload the animation properly, but it isn't anything huge, just a simple effect I added to the characters layer that makes him get all distorted and transform into one of the previous Pokemon Concepts ^^

You're welcome!
Aw, what a shame; I would have loved to see the animation.
Oh, by the way, could you do one of Eevee as a page/knight-in-training? I think it would be a cool way to show that she's a Pokemon with lots of potential and doesn't know yet what she's going to be.

I see a bit of Muk in this concept. At the same time, Ditto, and Muk are both made of purple glue/dump.
