You know how if a car tries to brake while driving at Hella MPH and totally doesn't brake? That's precisely why this round only just arrived (thanks amazingly for your patience, all).

So, this round started out with choosing one of three concepts I had. The challenge was putting the creatureful world of Pokémon into the creatureless world of Mad Max. The concept here is that this world worships Pokémon as mythological beings. So people craft weapons and vehicles in the likeness of Pokémon, to imbue it with their power.

I just included the 1st generation, to keep things focused. But ended-up with 23 references (not including the trainer) - I'd love to see if someone can spot them all. ;D

The previous Mad Max round was so appropriately explosive. So instead of trying to compete, this round emphasizes the barren aspect - more inspired by the Mad Max game than Fury Road.

It was a blast to do. Hope you all like it.

Or any Pokemon game with a different genre or aesthetic. They’re so varied it would be fun to plug them into various settings and see how they would change things or fit into their new world. I mean, can you imagine what Immortan Joe and his warboyz would do with Pokemon? Or maybe it’s better one doesn’t.

Haha - nah, that would be too cool. I'm totally imagining it anyway. But yeah, it'd be sweet to see Pokémon try a different style or tone.

We can only hope. If not, we always got creators like you. Willing to do what Nintendo won't.

at first glance i thought pikachu makes a great mad max car, but then i realized there is also magnaton pinser dugtrio cuebone omanyte and the weasing furnace is a great touch. So much thought has gone into this AMAZING
also i just got machop on the roof i'll never catch 'em all

Haha - that's excellent!

So cool to hear you're appreciating the details. I had a few other ideas, like Arbok as a whip with Tauros' three tails on the end, and an angular Porygon-styled plating, but the design was already jam-packed.

Thanks a bunch, mate.

jupiterlight28 In reply to jupiterlight28 [2015-11-12 13:14:45 +0000 UTC]

These are the references I think I see. (so don't read if you want to find them yourself.)
Please excuse any mis-spellings I'm tired. 

Cloyster, Marill, Kingler, Rhydon, Cubone, Magneton, Dugtrio, Haunter I think? but the smoke is pretty vague, Machamp, Omastar?, Unknown? Pinsir. 
That's all that I see at the moment. Can't quite figure out the wheels and I'm guessing Pikachu doesn't count.

Nice imagination though. Good integration of their shapes.

👍: 0 ⏩: 0

MrSiltStrider [2015-11-10 11:18:51 +0000 UTC]

Let's see, from the left:

Pinsir for the two rams, Rhydon for the drill, Caterpie for the bumper, Venonat or Butterfree for the two big headlights, Tangela(?) for the smaller headlights, Cubone/Marowak for the skull, Golem for the bonnet armour, Omastar for the front mudguards, Parasect for the front wheel, Nidoran/Nidorino for the spiky wing things, Machop/Machoke/Machamp for the fins on the roof and maybe the main car body, Dugtrio for the pistons, Kingler for the claw, Oddish(?) for the leafy spikes, Voltorb on the bombs, Cloyster for the read mudguard (and wheel?), Weezing for the other bomb, Magneton for the anchor, and Safari, Master, Poke', Great, and Ultra Balls for the steering wheels.

ZedEdge In reply to MrSiltStrider [2015-11-12 00:15:39 +0000 UTC]

Aw yeah - HIGH-FIVE! You've got, like, all of those spot-on. The only four that are off are, Tangela, Golem, Nidoran, and Oddish - but given the stylized presentation, they're arguably alternate correct answers too.

Great job and thank for the comment - I'm really glad they're still recognizable.

Oh, and there are actually four more hidden in there. ;B

Oh! Did you use photo textures? I assumed it was painted in there. It looks great, either way!

ZedEdge In reply to RoninDude [2015-11-08 18:22:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh, thanks! Yeah, it's a bit of combination of custom and photo textures. I also put the photos through painterly filter to keep things unified.

PatrickBrown is a ridiculous man when it comes to hand drawn textures. Definitely something I aspire to.

notbobby125 [2015-11-06 18:07:59 +0000 UTC]

Let's see, you have Galvantula as the car body, Weezing on the top end of the staff, Magneton on the other end, Dugtrio as the pistons, the steering wheel he is holding is a pokeball, the ones on his back are a great ball and master ball, the steerling wheel on his leg is an H Unown, the steering wheel above that KIND OF looks like a Klefki, Voltorbs are the exploding stick thingy, the claw from either a Krabby or a Scizor is on the third stick, the back wheel has a swirl that either could be from a Gastly or a Spiritomb, the back wheel cover looks like the skin of a spiky rock type (there are at least six pokemon that fall under the definition), the front wheel has a similar color scheme to the mushrooms on the back of a Paras, and the skull of the front is a spikier version Cubone's mother's skull.

ZedEdge In reply to notbobby125 [2015-11-07 23:00:52 +0000 UTC]

Right on!! Excellent guesses - 66% correct! I didn't even think of Klefki! If this image included Pokés beyond the first generation, Klefki would have been perfect.

If you were curious, here are the ones that weren't quite on the mark:
-car body
-back wheel
-back wheel cover
-two steering wheels (The ones you picked correctly were Poké Ball (in his hand), Master Ball (over his shoulder), and Great Ball (the upper one on his leg))

Thanks a bunch for having a go - it's super fun to see.
