I thought about what other wacky stuff I could do with the vessel au.
What if Volo became a vessel for Giratina? What if he made himself a vessel on purpose and stole Giratina's power?
Originally the two were cooperating with one another but once Arceus tried to fix everything via a vessel/proxy, Giratina suedo abandoned Volo's plan a little (still mulling over the plot in my head) and left Volo without answers or assistance.
He would feel absolutely cheated. The most damning thing to refute all of his ideals and thoughts that the world was unfair and unjust.
He was abandon by Arceus and the one it outcast from the realms.
He is not the grand hero everyone loves.
He's had no just reason for all the wrong that has happened in his life.
He'd be furious. Insulted. He probably is plotting revenge of both god and vessel.
So if a pokemon won't listen, there are other ways to capture it. The red chain can steal back Giratina and bind it to him, making himself a vessel for a god instead of Gris.
But it doesn't work very well. Giratina's too big, too much for a mortal to house it without consequences. While Gris held off and fought off the possession, Volo foolishly takes on more than he could carry.
He's too blinded by rage, by the need to have victory over Arceus that he doesn't care if it's splitting him apart, or that he'll forever bind Giratina to his body due to the red chain's hold.
If Volo steals Giratina, he would become an imperfect vessel, a violitle bomb ready to lose his mind and tear the world apart.
(also I wanna add design notes so the tendrils are meant to be like tainted angel wings and I took artistic liberty to make the red chain more ribbony to add to the evil devilish flow going on.)
I was pleasantly surprised by all the love on my last two inktober posts. I went away on an awesome vacation, but just got back. These lil guys were gonna be my 18th, but were sorta too easy so here’s a reef of Corsola. Man. Whoever’s job it is in the Pokemon universe to give names to groups of Pokemon, they BETTER call a group of Corsolas a reef.
Inktober Day 7. My prompt was Ship-tober 19: dance AU. It was hard for me to post this since these two have been my OTP for 10 years and I wanted it to be perfect. But this challenge is about committing, hence the ink, so here it is.
Volo's one of my most favorite characters and I don't draw him that often, only when inspiration strikes me right can I actually draw him.
In the canon pla story line and in the vessel au, Volo's basically responsible for the distortions going on with Giratina's help. He's the puppeteer holding most of the strings. He wants the plates, he wants to see Arceus, he's doing all of this for greater things but it's destructive.
In the au Gris is the star of the show, but Volo hates the fact Gris gets to do everything. Volo's delighted to have someone new to talk to, but Gris is also just another stepping stone to get what he wants.
(Ok so posting my Inktober drawing one by one is for some reason cooking my sanity so I’m just going to start dumping them in clumps) these were all fun Sigma looks funky but that’s because I was trying something new and useing the wrong markers
