Upgrade: Groudon.
Added 2022-02-17 03:34:06 +0000 UTCSometimes you can't force the creative process; sometimes it just has to come to you.
While playing around in studio, I had the urge to redesign Groudon as I felt her previous release just wasn't up to par. While I'm never truly satisfied with any release (there's always MORE I want to do!), I felt that Groudon's recent rework could use more loving. The result is this. She's now more armored and has a more hellish / demonic appearance, which still maintains the sort of "oni" style samurai look, but mechanized.
Even though Groudon isn't really ANY of those things in the lore, for obvious reasons, her main design does carry an armored-tank appearance with large, clawed fists for offensive power, which actually reminded me of Vi from League of Legends, so we have this sort of hybrid creation.
The other reason I wanted to redo her was to make it easier to change her color palette, which will include a Shiny version in a later update, as well as potentially a Dark version, and all of this will be used as a basis for her Primal form.
As I said above, the creative juices were flowing, so this literally only took about 2 hours to finish, not including the time I had to do half of it over because of a power out, so the next scheduled releases are still on the way. This is just a bonus.
Enjoy!
