By the way, I take it my original idea wasn't up to snuff?
Nah, it wasn't bad, it just looked a little too mechanized for a pokemon
Thank you.
Absolution, I suggest a thorny devil instead of a komodo dragon so we can add spikes to it. Maybe even a thorny devil/ankylosaurus hybrid. The color I imagine is yellowish with a tint of red or brown, just like the regular thorny devil. The Poison aspect can be added by having venom dripping out of the spikes. Your design is solid, though.
I personally do not like the green spider design, mainly because it is bipedal. I'd like to see a spider that looks more like an actual one. I suggest crossing the burrowing spiders with say, a tarantula with poisonous bristles.
Damn! You sure can whip these up fast! Very good!For anyone that's not interested in the 'Spider Queen,' I threw together this interpretation of the komodo idea. It definitely looks more bulky, still could be pretty fast, and could probably have a higher attack. And yes, I know the legs aren't level. It bothers me too. lol
Color scheme changed a bit. Traded the acid green for a sandy color.
But yeah, I agree with Alper on this one. Mabye add a few more spikes and stuff and we'll be in bussiness. Mabye a few rows going down it's back?
looks good! Thanks for making the garbage i drew into a reasonable looking pokemon!
Not a artist or anything but how about a poisonous zombie/earth bound spirit/mud Monster? Like radioactive mud monster/zombie thing.
zombies = slow
slow = not what the base stats threads are saying
slow = not what the base stats threads are saying
Damn straight, tsuchigumo fits that concept and base stats to a tee, and it's a spider to boot. With its power to cast illusions, moves like Hypnosis, Gravity and Trick Room will be no problem.
It is also possible to give him a "regal" apparance and control over other arachnid-based monsters such as Ariados, Spinarak and Scorpi, like Politoed can control the Poliwag line as extra flavour.
I like the radioactive mud monster idea. It could explain all the ulitily stuff (think Clayface). I'll be back with some poor quality art, unless someone else could run with this.
You have those fast and very intelligent type of zombies. Those fuckers can move.
true... but I can't draw it considering that my sketches cause eyes to bleed.
I'll sketch a sludge golem anyways, probably won't post it though.

Hey guys sorry for the long time but i was able to scan some new pictures. As some requested i decided to make my pokemon just a little more badass(but not too much), enough to make him look like he wants to fuk someone up. If enough people like him then ill color it.
p.s. i know some people might think the worm thing is more interesting but i think this pokemon has some possiblites that the worm doesnt
My only issue with that is that the more spikes you start adding on a design, the more fanboyish it becomes. Like its X_TREEEMMME!!!!111 or whatever. I'll consider it though.
For all my designs I'll probably be sticking to the same general color schemes. While not all pokemon stick to their type color schemes, I prefer it.
The bipedal aspect of it is one of my favorite parts of my design (the hands, however are my absolute favorite). We already have the Spinarak line for regular spiders, and I wanted something different.
Get ready for another one ;)
I might add a line down its back, or at least on its tail, a little later.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you not just my latest, but my favorite design.
I came to realize that what we want this Pokemon to do, the design options we're suggesting, and the Pokemon's type just aren't matching up.
So I went a little abstract. I thought about the Pokemon that Wish, that support, and what they look like. Jirachi, Vaporeon, the rest. They're not gigantic lizard monsters. So Jirachi was my starting off point. A fairy, an elf, a sprite.
An imp.
A Smog Imp.
No matter what stats are decided, they'll work. This thing can be as fast, as strong, and as bulky as anyone wants because the precident has been set for all those things. Celebi, Jirachi, the Clef line, the Toge line, the Grandbull line. This design places him in the Fairy egg group, and thus will have access to all those utility moves that he's being made to use.
I can picture Tailwind coming out of his cloud of smog, dirt, and sand. Rapid spin could be his cloud spinning around like a tornado. Same thought could apply to whirlwind. He has the spikes. Gravity works. Wish works. Encore works. Haze works. Perish Song. Trick Room.
There's very few moves in the original list that I couldn't see apply.
Quite frankly, I really hope everyone likes this little guy, because I love him. I know a lot of people want to go the 'badass' route with everything, but this is Pokemon. They're allowed to be cute too (with a healthy extra helping of badass on the side). Pocket Monsters, remember?
I hope that more ideas come out that look similar to salamenceslashers'/absolutions simply because they look like pokemon that would be used for utility, rather than the monster pokes that are popping up. A spider for me would need something to it that I cant imagine in order to make people think ground rather than there's a big frikkin bug. As for the worm I think that that's the more plausible of between worm and spider but the point I wanted to stress was that something a little more removed from traditional concepts would make utility moves feasible in the way that salamenceslashers does. I think mischief=utility is an idea that's working.
Darth Meanie's design, as rendered by me before, now with color, as to Darth Meanie's specifications:
EDIT 1: Absolution, as a fan of Sableye, I say "Yay!" I think it'd look interesting with some sort of gas mask or respirator, but that's just me.
EDIT 2: Y'welcome, Darth Meanie. As an added bonus... have an avatar!

nice looking! Definetely a good, original design. Only gripe I have is the ground part is hard to imagine.
Smog Imp? Maybe a Smogon Imp!
EDIT: The colors look great! Thanks for the help Lorak!

Insta-Win to me. I don't know about the others but this little guy has grew on me instantly. The only thing I can think that needs changing is a lighter colored smog cloud but it's design is perfect.
Your post showed up. No art seems to have.
Please work. Testing...
Alright, It seems like everyone is kinda leaning towards small, cute and fast and away from the original worm and spider ideas.
Since poison/ground won, I figured I'd have a go the death worm idea. He doesn't look that pokemon-like but that can probably be remedied.
I decided to just whip up a quick sketch this time. Based on the design though,I could see this guy getting alot of the moves people want. Might need to tone down the badass a bit but... here it is.
