@hoork challenged me to do this, so here we are! I wanted to try and mimic Sugimori's style as closely as possible, and while there are certainly improvements to make, I'm actually really happy with how this turned out.
This is me (and my wonderful daughter) as a rock-type gym leader! Our focus would be fossil type Pokemon, such as Cradily and Kabutops. My lead would be my Shuckle, Jerry, who I've had since the release of Pokemon Colosseum.

The fossil gods definitely don‘t actually look like pokemon
[26 June, 2018]
{Kel:}
On another lore point.
I think we never really control the gods themselves when we have the Fossil Pokemon, but rather ASPECTS of them. As in Lard Helix and Lord Crust being the aspects of Consumption of Helix and Dome. Lady Helix in X being its femenine aspect. Lord Luvs, the loving aspect of Dome, etc.
{Romanoff Blitzer:}
As I see it, the Pokémon bodies are sock puppets that the gods use to interact with the world.
{Denne:}
that's basically how i feel about it too actually, and is how i'm writing it in The Very Short Story That Still Takes Me Forever To Write
and even things like the canon legendaries i guess. it would be weird if i caught giratina and now it's in the pc and that's just it. like, How
{JukeBiscuit:}
See I've always felt that the Pokemon bodies are more like the projections that they feel most comfortable with
So Helix is definitely an eldritch being of chaos, but also is definitely most comfortable existing on our plane of existence as an omanyte
{Denne:}
i feel like they theoretically COULD take different physical forms, it would just be weird
{JukeBiscuit:}
Exactly!
{Denne:}
maybe the babiest fossil gods (like, sail/jaw) aren't as opinionated about it yet but the rest...
{JukeBiscuit:}
Mitz and I have a whole, 2 year-long backstory that we've been passing back and forth that's basically a fossil god origin story
I do feel that armor and skull probs fluctuate the most
Like, they were both huge birds for a while, and duking it out sky-wise
A couple hundred thousand years or so
{Denne:}
i haven't decided what i think about armor/skull much yet
and i'd love to hear that origin story :o
i kinda feel like the sinnoh fossils get kinda outshone in their own domains because dialga/palkia take up all the attention. poor guys
{JukeBiscuit:}
Rip skull and armor :BibleThump:
{Haji:}
I agree. I feel like the gods not only have a true form on the Higher Plane we never see, but can also be in multiple places at once by splitting their essences so only a fraction of their power will manifest.
I was going to explain / toy with the concept in my R.Plat series but it was one if the aspects I worried was a step too weird as it had little in-stream / in-canon events to support it.
{Denne:}
it makes sense to me! gods are weird anyway and i like writing about that
oh thinking about it i'm also attached to rotom!giratina so giratina's one example of being more Flexible about things like physically existing
which is partly because a) rotom!giratina seems way more chill than vanilla giratina, what a cool dude and b) the distortion world is just kinda like that
one of the things i'm working on right now is basically "giratina writes a book explaining the lore for newcomers to the universe" and i...realize my giratina characterization is weird but it makes em so fun to write

On the higher parts of the island, considerable numbers of a shell, long thought a marine species, occur embedded in the soil.
