Once in a Blue Moon

Poochyena and Mightyena have been reworked!

It's been quite some time since these two saw their initial release (I swear I didn't plan this - it just happens to have been March 2 years ago!) and that was back before I really developed a consistent style. 

Like before, I'm using an older version of Poochyena since I prefer it over the current one, but Mightyena remains the same since then. They just deserved a well needed makeover.

New face, body, proportions, clothing, etc. All new accessories set up. They also have claws built in, so no more using clothing on that feature (I just wish someone would make proper fang accessories already!)

But wait, that's not all!

Poochyena and Mightyena are rather iconic in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, notoriously known for being the "standard issue" Moemon of Team Aqua and Team Magma alongside Carvanha/Sharpedo and Numel/Camerupt respectively, much like how Team Rocket has Zubats, Rattatas, and others in their lineup.

In recognition of this, I've given both Poochyena and Mightyena the previously designed Team Aqua and Team Magma outfits, with some slight modifications/improvements.

Check them out!

Wait a minute, this isn't Starly?! And what happened to that other Trainer?!

LISTEN. I had dental work done Tuesday which I thought would be a snap, but it's taking me longer to recover than normal. Might even have to go back in to fix up the job. I needed an extra day, Friday, to rest, so that Trainer got pushed back - well, truth be told I WAS working on her, but I didn't like the design. Going to play around with it more and see what I can come up with. And no, it isn't another Lass.

As far as Starly goes, well, I'm still going to make them, I just REALLY wanted to work on Poochyena/Mightyena again. So there. I set deadlines just to stay on track but my motivation to work on any particular Moemon triumphs over any artificial schedule I put before myself. Because when I don't feel motivated, the quality drops. But when I'm motivated, like in this case, I put extra effort in to the smaller details. It is what it is!

On that topic, I'm actually considering returning back to Gen 1 again since there's a whole ton of new sprites to work with, but we'll see about that.

For now, enjoy!
