Description
reminded me of Rhyperior's existence, so I quickly whipped up a design for it too.I never really liked Rhyperior, I think it has an ugly head and body, so i tried to remedy that a little.
I have no clue about my level of success, but we shall see.
Rhyperior are probably used as artillery units. While the lesser evolutions supply the titans with rocks, they shoot them into the enemy lines. Rhyperiors are probably also smarter and braver than its prevolutions, and responds to things it doesnt understand with aggression rather than fear.

You should def. explore that idea, I can't guarantee I'll do anything remotely interesting. ;u;
But yeah that's a really neat concept, esp. if you start extrapolating to pokemon that don't have trade evolutions.
(also I think you might get a kick out of this person's pokemon crossbreeds: extra-vertebrae.tumblr.com/tag⦠)

Oh my god, thank you. That is perfect. Those crossbreeds make me sick is all the right ways. I get tired of my own designs so easily which is why I wanted someone else to try my concept.Β

Oh yeah, it's really great to look at other peoples' designs and ideas for them. :3
Here's a more recent rhyperior I've done, this time attempting to stick closer to the official design but still make it more appealing for myself. (not related to your suggested idea of combining objects with pokemon to create new horrors)

I actually like your original design more. The small details of the beak suggests a similar evolutionary history with Ceratopsians. The way it holds itself is indicative of a transitional form, departing from quadruped to biped. The folds of skin give it dept and texture. All you need to do is alter the pallet.Β

Yeah, the two designs have fairly different motivations. The one featured here was more "how can I interpret the details of these creatures with real animal traits?" and the other one was "how can I change the shapes of this creature so it appeals more to me, but also doesnt add anything too strange"
The beak also aligns it more closely with the designs of the previous evolutions ( umbbe.deviantart.com/art/Rhyho⦠)
There's the curse, I do typically try to go for kind of realistic/biology-influenced, but I get frustated because it loses 'something' that exists in canon pokemon. No idea what that 'something' is. Perhaps the fact that pokemon probably shouldn't look like they evolved from real animals to me. esp. considering how pokemon world had 'normal' animals that went extinct, I guess?
Eh sorry I'm rambling.
I could probably redraw the designs with perhaps some adjustments from what i've learned about anatomy, some day...

Dude, could you please do the Nidos and the Aggron line in your style? It would be awesome to see your take on them!
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe- these are somewhat old so there's really no guarantee how much my style resembles this anymore, but I suppose.
Can never trust me to do stuffs tho. :c

Thank you! I would love to see your take on them!

Love the approach you took on Rhyperior. Looks awesome!

Never liked this Pokemon's design, but you made it look really awesome.

c: Glad to hear, it's a goal whenever I redesign stuff.

I'm always happy to hear that someone likes a pokemon better because of my design~ :3
Thank you!

Rhyperior usually looks like a retarded rhydon on steroids, but yours look better.
The way you made it semi-quadrupedal is a nice addition, it makes it more original. Same goes for the beak.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you~
The beak is mainly to retain consistency with the rhyhorn and rhydon who are based on the ceratops-style family. Im glad that it's an improvement, though!

I agree, I don't like the Phyperior and sometimes I wonder why the Pokemon designers bothered to continue to evolution of Rhydon. But, you did a very good job on this, and kinda convinced me to look at them better.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess they felt it needed an upgrade in power. Rhydon does seem a little weak gamewise.
Im glad you like it! One of my goals when playing the heart gold (which inspired me to start this) game was to give every pokemon a chance - hopefully can do the same with designing them as well.
π: 0 β©: 1
Good point, Rhydon does seem like a simple design and Pokemon compared to the first evolution though I have never trained one before so I would not know.
And your welcome c: you are a very good artist and as I said you convinced me to look at the Rhyperior in a different view and also you did the same with the Bastiodon, I'm a realistic Pokemon artist myself, so thankyou for the inspiration, you do a brilliant job at it!
π: 0 β©: 1
I have been training a rhyhorn but I haven't got it to evolve to rhydon yet. It shall happen!
Sadly rhyhorn's moves are fairly boring - mostly rock and normal type moves. BV Bah!
Thanks and no problem~!

[link] This website tells you when it will evolve, so you have a goal C:
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I have checked serebii on several occasions and do remember when it evolves...
However, I have a ton of other pokemon to level to lv 50, so it takes a longer time.

I don't really know what the original looks like but yours looks pretty artillery capable.

Thanks~
The original to me is too fat and round alΓ‘ lickilicky to be really threatening, sadly.
π: 0 β©: 1
No problem.
Yeah fattiness can defuse fear factor. But if you try you can make them by a hard core awesome fatty.

But that is still more in the manlyawesome rather than coolawesome territory.
Yeah I see what you mean.

For me they make the species cuter and more relatable in some weird way. 
Strange things like that.
π: 0 β©: 1
that makes sense too.

Indeed, plus baby-versions have specific anatomical traits that make us find them more adorable.
For me that mechanic is sadly broken since I rarely do find a purely babylike character (like most characters in cartoons etc) even remotely cute.
Though cats will forever remain adorablest.
Yeah.
Broken? How do you mean?
Not a big cat fan... met waaay to many ornery cats.D:
π: 0 β©: 1
As in, it should make the character cute/endearing, but for me most of the time it doesn't. Dont like babies either. Madness...
Aww, you should meet our cats then. <:V Little kitty is the sweetest thing, she will never bite or scratch even when she is angry (she just lightly touches with teeth when she is unhappy about her treatment), especially not strangers. Big kitty hasn't scratched any strangers either, and he likes being petted any which way.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah... i'm not good at making things cute either... so I'm not really sure what to look for. And lots of things I find cute others don't.
Oh that sounds nice. one of my other DA friends has cats that she says are really nice. Our last cat was just terrible. Was cute when he was little but when he got older I kidna wanted to just punt him to the moon.
Got another cat. I don't see her much because she's always in my youngest sister's room. But she likes roaming the house and hiding. She seems okay though. Eccept for her random yowling.
π: 0 β©: 1
'Tis a more common thing than one might guess, perhaps.
Aw, was he aggressive? Or just annoying? Our older cat's mother was sort of unbalanced (she hissed and scratched and in general seemed sort of crazy) but I disciplined big kitty at times when he scratched us. It's sort of mean to tell cats how they should behave, but I think he enjoys being gentle more than scratching for fun.
Have you neutered the cat? Could be that she is occasionally in heat. In general it's smart to neuter since it helps reduce cat overpopulation and the female has a longer lifespan (giving birth/getting pregnant is very taxing on a cat, and there are a lot of diseases that an unneutered cat can get if I remember right)

Yeah, that pokemon is a lot of fail. But this version of it is great!
I haven't played much of the newer games.... Is this a fourth evolution, or one of those trade/special circumstances ones?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a third evolution for Rhydon, you get it by trading it with armor equipped.
Pokemon has thankfully not jumped the shark with evolutions, and kept them to three at max. (if they started breaking that rule, the series might be going downhill, depending on how they deal with it)

YOU ARE A CREDIT TO THE ENTIRE TEAM AND DESERVE A MEDAL! This looks so amizing btw, really love how altough its a separate evolution it still holds ties with its original forms, big thanks for mentioning me even though you didnt have to
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you and no problem!
I felt it was only appropriate since you were the one to remind me of the species~

I also said "one of the best" not "the best", but like i said give this guy a background or draw him in combat and it will look awesome
π: 0 β©: 1
Alright then.
I don't have the launching-gesture down yet so combat-drawings might have to wait until... Most likely never but there is always a chance.

AWESOME!! This guy looks so cool! You made him look really really awesome and strong! I really love the way you drew him. This version looks WAY cooler than the actual one. Really really awesome job on this guy! I didnt like his evolution either, but some people draw him so phenomenally well
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you~ Im glad you like it.
I was sort of worried that I'd make it too un-pokemony, especially with that minicrest to tie in with the prevolutions.
π: 0 β©: 1
No problem! I LOVE how you drew him! He looks so badass! You can tell he could wreck stuff with his body and tail. You did a really really awesome job drawing him. This may be my favorite piece from you
π: 0 β©: 1
Hur, thank you again. I hope you mean the design rather than the rendition itself, since it might be a little depressing if my best piece turns out to be an unshaded lineart + flat color.
