Description Let me begin with saying that he is NOT a damn Dialga ripoff >:C



According to an ancient legend, in the beginning there was neither night nor daylight surrounding the universe. There was just a great hollow emptiness, which in its own sorrow divided into two, in search of company. However, when the dividing was over the result was two completely new beings, having no resemblance to the original one. They began quarreling about who was superior to who, and all worlds were near ruin.

But one day, a brave little creature took a step between the two, asking if there was a possible solution to their battle. After negotiating with both of the creatures, it was decided that time was to split into two. The white, shining creature had its time, when people and some creatures would wake up to their work, with a flaring new sun lighting their steps.
When the sun would go down, the white one was to step aside. The black deity of night would rule in the moonlight and the darkness, guiding the stars and nocturnal creatures. These two only saw each other in the break of dawn and in the moment of twilight, never meant to rule side by side. Except. In the moment where the moon covers the sun, these two will make their way to the judge, to the one that first crossed their mighty duel, the one that brought peace upon land. There they shall renew the pact of peace, of night and day. And that way it shall remain. Forever.

- Legends of Ashai

-------------------------------------------------------------

I've been working my "fake region" Ashai for quite long. So this is a legendary fakemon of mine, Eclipsoir. He's the one who brings the night with him, and ruling the time of Ashai with his rival Solaine. I sketched Ecly first about a year ago, and now I finally got him to dA. Hopefully I'll be able to post a pict of Solaine soon.

So Eclipsoir and Solaine should never have contact with each other, except during the solar eclipse when they travel to see Jaira, the judge of everything. But as in every pokemon game, everything is not going to be safe and sound in Ashai's story either

Happy easter guys!


Eclipsoir, Ashai region and art (c) aka me!

I personally like the story better than the design, in this case. Although the design is just as cool =3

Haha, fakemon are quite easy to design, at least in my opinion. If you want, I can help you.

Mage-Madisaur In reply to Zhoid [2010-04-04 20:26:55 +0000 UTC]

No, they ARE easy to design, it's just that I have a hard time coming up with stuff that hasn't already been used.

Nintendo REALLY should go to dA and see all the wonderful designs of several fakemon artists, and quit wracking their brains for the ideas they have left, which will prolly be mediocre.

Zhoid In reply to Mage-Madisaur [2010-04-04 20:32:20 +0000 UTC]

I TOTALLY agree with you. dA is chock-full of wonderful designs, but no, Nintendo has to make up their own ones xD I dont say that theyre not good, it just feels like theyre slowly "losing the touch". You know, Zoroark for example. I dont really think that he's really pokemonish anymore :/ he looks even a bit more like a digimon to me.

I think your designs are wonderful 8D theyre really detailed, which is totally out of my league xD I can only make up plain creatures with horns and wings, and so on ;__; Also, I love how you use colors on your fakemon.

Mage-Madisaur In reply to Zhoid [2010-04-04 22:07:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I understand what you're saying. It DOES look a bit digimonish...XD

Aww, thanks so much! Detailed? Like how? I find my designs a bit simple, really. Coloring? I don't even shade or anything (this is sort of sad, I don't know really how to shade or do any digital stuff).

Zhoid In reply to Mage-Madisaur [2010-04-05 10:12:50 +0000 UTC]

By detailed, I mean that they have for example spikes and feathers and all that, which mine dont xD And I love how you use bright and different colors, as mine usually end up being either white, black or gray
