if you could redesign a pokemon or digimon to your own style what would it be and why?
I'm not really sure if you mean redesigning them in a way I would like them more or which Pokemon would fit my pre-existing style of drawing/world?
I feel pretty visually connected to a bunch of the ultra-beasts. Some creepy mons and some very cute ones like Clobbopus, Reuniclus, and Joltik, Tarountula... while Blaziken is my starter.
so here's a clobbopus who isn't an octopus and has only one fist
I redesigned him just because I love this little guy! I have a plush of him.
And here's a redesign of a Pokemon I was very disappointed with. He deserves his long butt!!! - Spidops
This is not probably what you meant with your ask but these were fun!

Have you reviewed the Grapploct line? Thanks as always for your thoughts!
I actually really like Clobbopus here. I feel like a fighting-type octopus that uses its tentacles for punching, while a fairly obvious concept, is a good one, and Clobbopus does a good job of representing that with its dark-colored "boxing gloves" and markings that make a wrestling mask of sorts.
I also just like the general aesthetics here. The off-white and orange are a lovely combo, and the blue eyes work well with it. The "gloves" being a dark gray helps them pop out against the rest of the design, with just a small fringe of the same color at the bottom to carry it through without distracting from the tentacles. The blue eyes and their rectangular shape are also super cute.
However, I'm not really that big on Grapploct. It's one of those evos that looses most of the best attributes of the first stage.
To start, I really don't care for the sudden color change. There's no actual reason it couldn't be the off-white with orange, and making the entire body dark gray means you lose any emphasis on the tentacles that the original had. Using navy on this dark color also means that the design blurs together, making it hard to read save for the yellow mask and suckers. Ironically, the shiny keeps a closer palette to Clobbopus (not exact, but closer), and frankly I think it's much better:
On top of that, they also changed the eye shape again for no reason, and it seems to have completely lost the boxing theme. It still has a wrestling motif with the mask, and I guess it's gone from boxing to jujutsu given the "belt" around its waist, but I don't think that reads very clearly conceptually compared to the simplicity of the boxing gloves, thus making the design feel less coherent.
On the plus side, it is at least identifiable as belonging to the same line, and I do think it standing up on two tentacles is interesting, but otherwise it's just pretty "eh".
Overall, Clobbopus is great. Grapploct isn't terrible, but it's not half as good as Clobbopus either due to a muddled color palette and less identifiable theme.
