#543 - #544 - #545. As Venipede evolves, its carapace becomes a dull cocoon as its insides liquify, and if anything tries to break it, it'll stab them aggressively until dead. It regains its lustrous carapace after evolving and becomes docile, giving rides to smaller pokémon and humans it meets.

I had a pretty solid idea for scolipede itself: Make it more buggy, reference centipede anatomy, but keep its horse whimsy. I did many study of centipede faces and anatomy to figure out how to place their antennae and ultimate legs (thats what the final pair of legs that look like antennae on the end of centipedes is named!). I wanted to keep some of the horn shapes, and also have the tail look like a false head like it does in many centipedes.
The weird eye shape of these guys is referencing the ocelli of centipedes: forming compound eyes. The spikes are actually referencing a milipede instead of a centipede, Desmoxytes purpurosea, who have big pink spikes. The empty spot is meant to look like a little saddle :) and the difference in color is because i think bright green feels more toxic paired with red than the greyish purple the canon one has.
venipede was easy, adapting the canon simplicity and then just adding some centipede anatomy like the antennae below the carapace.
whirlipede however, was pretty annoying. I didnt know what to do with it! i didnt want to just make a wheel but didnt want for it to just look like a venipede curled up. i decided to go the cocoon route: the carapace is protecting the goo inside. centipede dont go through cocoon phases but shhh. made it dull to keep its unique color from the rest of the line that the canon one has.

scolipede riding gear c0mm for @suprememeep !
drawin the dex collection 4!
Some recent Pokémon oc's I've designed! First one is a fusion of my 4 favorite Pokémon, Flygon, Scolipede, Rayquaza, and Leafeon. Second one is a Flygon and substitute doll fusion.
[Start ID: The first image is a digital drawing of a character reference for Viridian, a Pokémon fusion character of the Pokémon Flygon, Scolipede. Rayquaza, and Leafeon. They have features from all four Pokémon. They are bipedal and have a dragon like build similar to Flygon, with front arms, two pairs of wings, and a long tail. They have red visors over their eyes like Flygon, antennae like scolipede, and head fins like rayquaza. Their neck and body is segmented like a bug like scolipede, their underbelly is a dark gray, the segments are green with red circle markings. Their wings are rhombus shaped and have a red rhombus marking in the middle, the tips of the wings become leaf like. Their tail is a gradient from teal to tan yellow with gray stripes and red fins and a tail fin similar in design to the wings. At the top of the drawing is text that says "Viridian, Flygon x Scolipede x Rayquaza x Leafeon". Underneath the text is symbols for their type, a purple dragon type symbol, a green grass type symbol, and a yellow green bug type symbol. At the bottom of the piece is a rectangle with the color pallet for the design. There is a watermark with the username "TheCraftyDragonC". The background is a mottled dull green. The Second image is a digital drawing of a character reference for Comfy, a Pokémon fusion character of Flygon and the Whimsicott substitute doll. Their body shape is very similar to Flygon, a bipedal dragon with front arms, a pair of wings, and a long tail with three fins at the end. They have a monochrome green color pallet, most of the body being a medium light green with darker green and cream accents. They are very fluff and have tufts of fur sticking out in places. They have a teal visor over their eyes, which are squinted closed. The top of the image has text which says "Comfy, Dragon/???, only move is substitute". Beneath the text is a color pallet for the design. At the bottom right is a watermark with the username "TheCraftyDragonC". The background is a gray green with lighter fluffy accent shapes. End ID]
My April Fools prank is that there is no April Fools prank
Here, have some drawings I made for the Flygon fanfic I've been writing in my spare time
I love Scolipede so god damn much!! I can't get enough
if they ever make Legends Kyrum and we see the two brothers fight with the two dragons, there BETTER be knights riding Scoliopede.
We need another cool rising option besides Zebstrika and Soutland.
not daily pokemon: scolipede
Gosh I love my Team in Shield but I do wonder how they survive with a Trainer/Leader like this around.
