I like how Meracostra & Quetzillian are both dancers with both looking more feminine & masculine respectively. And with how the pokedex describes them, I can so vividly imagine the two preforming together in a synchronized dance

[@rembedi7636]

Aw, it makes me so sad to hear your struggles! As a young artist, I love your videos and love your work, and I honestly appreciate how chill and relaxed you are. You're a calming presence, so please, don't feel bad you lack a huge fire in your life. You're already amazing, if my word for it is worth anything :]

[@Subjectively]

See? Loving, encouraging comments like these are why I do it. Thank you so much ❤️

[@xemiii]

You tricked me; this isn't a turn brain off Pokemon video, this is a well put together piece about character design! Dang it, I'm learning helpful tips to integrate into my own art! Can't believe the deception.

[@bettywilkins5353]

This is Fakemon, not Shaman King!!

[@ems9616]

I think youre forgetting the second half of that quote 'Jack of all trades, master of none...but often times better than a master of one!' Dont downplay your skills just because you know people better in any one area. Your unique combination of video editing, drawing, and enthusiastic but reflective fannish joy makes you the best artist i follow bar none! And every video is a joy for that reason ❤

[@hectorpadilla9022]

the way Meracostra would be my all-time favorite starter if it was real

[@EloyGray]

hard same; never expected to find a design that i would love more than, say, swampert or chestnaught, but meracostra is such an incredible design. i need one Right Now

[@American_Lobster]

meracosta would be probably be my favorite water type and maybe one of my favorites, knowing that one of my favorites is pheromosa

You may consider yourself a master of none, but you are a huge inspiration regardless. This has been my favourite youtube channel for the last few years and I absolutely love these insights into your process.

[@silvermoon808]

Absolutely agree!!

[@theboiyouddate5722]

Everytime he's like "idk if I'm passionate enough" I'm just like, bro you made a whole region, did multiple redesigns, and put a lot of care and research into each design/redesign. I can confidently say you are passionate plenty lol! Also what a great video as always! I'm definitely keeping this in mind when I finally think of my own pokemon region or just character design in general.

[@_._.AZ._._]

I definitely relate to "jack of all trades, master of none", I'm fairly decent at a lot of things but it seems like I take a hit in how fast I develop skills past a certain point because I can't keep a sustained and focused effort on just one thing. Learning to be okay with that is maybe something I should focus on :-)

[@Thesmus]

"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." this is the complete quote, so yeah, keep being a jack of all tradess :D

[@xelshade]

Passion is a buzzword - it's easy to regard other people's work as passion, but it's hard to "feel" passion in yourself. But you've already taught what it means to be passionate in all of your videos (especially this one and the Elorimanda one): it's taking your time to make a design as much to your liking as possible, because nothing quite hits like a well-done design. Maybe you still don't feel it in your gut, but that passion already flows through the blood of your work, both your designs and your videos. I've rescued many of my own fakemon designs by applying your lessons from the Elorimanda video. Don't know if you'll see this, but I owe you a big thank you for my learnings!

[@datnastysalad5616]

I know this is silly but don't ever get discouraged if you find yourself as a "master of none." The full quote ends with "but oftentimes better than a master of one." !!! Your art and storytelling is really inspirational for so many of artists out here :)

[@themintyllama35]

I still hope that these starters could make it into tha mazah game as an easter egg for completing the dex or just some post game side quest

[@arthurdias6860]

Yes, and I still want to know what is Jack’s team from Mazah region

[@yokaiju8909]

that'd be awesome but as Jack said it'd be a very long video and I understand if the relative lack of audience would deter anyone from making smth like that, it's hard enough finding people who draw fan Digimon as-is lol

[@shmooters5599]

Meracostra is actually fire as hell. The posing you gave them with the extra arms gives such a nice vibe that I love. Realized I was really digging it when I started thinking to myself what hidden ability would be sweet for them. Great designs all around, and insightful advice as always, excited to see what the Project Untamed team has cooked up since the early demo.

[@Magdalena8008s]

Um, I'm pretty sure they are good. Yeah, they could get inspiration from other designers on KZbin and such. But they are professionals. With all the help of the actual Pokémon company.

[@albertlewis4903]

@@Magdalena8008s I don’t know about that most of the fan Pokémon are knockouts I can’t say the same for most of the recent official designs. But to each their own

[@xai01]

​​@@albertlewis4903 The vast majority of Fakemon designs are just straight up bad. But if you find a great Fakemon artist that aligns with your taste, it's only natural that you like their designs more consistently than the official ones. The official Pokemon artists try to appeal to all sectors of the audience with different designs, but they can only include 100-200 Pokemon per game because they're rushed and there's a whole development pipeline to put a single Pokemon into the actual game. So, there's probably only gonna be a few Pokemon in the whole game that you really love. In mi opinion, Galar was the region with the weakest designs so far, but Paldea is going pretty strong (even with the wasted potential of most future paradox forms).

[@LowlySlime]

@@albertlewis4903 that's because you're only exposed to the best fakemon designs on the internet. the best out of like hundreds of thousands posted.

[@doozsromhacks]

Bro underselling himself insanely man come on you’re the goat don’t talk down abt urself like that fr

[@trexiconspersonal9104]

As someone who is a budding Fakemon designer this helped out a lot. I got like 5 regions in the works (too many ideas flowing in my head lol) and ive enjoyed designing them. Im very passionate about it. I do have slightly different steps but it works for me. But this helps with some confidence which tends to waver off and on..

[@wolfy_711]

the gastronaut figure looks so insanely good

[@mups4016]

The fact that you're making a half an hour long video pretty much proves you're as passionate as whoever you're comparing yourself to.

[@lonelcrosley]

Honestly this made me feel so relieved. I'm happy you are talking about this. As someone who feels as though they aren't as passionate as others and continuously wonders if I am a "true fan," and or fake autistic for not feeling like I have a hyperfixations as strong as most people. This really hit home for me. Its nice to know that, yeah, I'm not alone in feeling this way. And just because someone may be more passionate about the same thing you like, doesn't mean you like it any less, or that the art you create is less than theirs. Art is art, and as long as you enjoy the things you create, and the stuff you are into makes you happy, then that's all that maters. Contrary to what most people think, you don't have to prove yourself to others if you like something. it's just enough to enjoy the things you like.

[@miningglalie]

1. this is really solid character design advice in general which is what i look for in fakemon advice, so i really liked this video 2. i love the gun bird A Lot

[@wanderlust5481]

As an artist I’ve had times where you start off really enjoying drawing certain things but then eventually feeling stuck drawing that. All I can say is don’t feel guilty for wanting to do something else, I’ve taken month long hiatus’s and sometimes even left it alone for a year just to focus on drawing other things. I absolutely love your style and find your videos relaxing and fun. So I’m happy with whatever you choose to do 😊

[@Aximanda]

Passion fades. You're persistent; that's the real superpower.

[@XEqualsPenguin]

I feel like not enough people acknowledge that passion can be quiet. It's easy for us to point to the most animated and vocal people as demonstrations of passion, but quiet persistence and dedication are markers of passion as well. This video was great, and hopefully I'll be able to convince myself to get back into art soon so I can follow the advice you shared!

[@rawruwu7862]

I have no clue what kind of specific value this could hope for the designs, but i love the idea that the transition between the middle and final evolutions is a HUGE difference, like a crazy glow up. I might be exaggerating, but I find it reallt interesting because finding a good middle evolution is very difficult. The one thing that I find amazing here is how clearly the designs are focused, shown greatly in the final evolutions. I have no clue what each one says or means, but each final evolution feels like its telling me "I'm who I am" in a human way like when you can a badly written character from a deeper person. Each final form feels like a person that you would be able to long a long, good chat to, which I personally enjoy and love that idea. My favorite part about art is not being a great drawer but still being to love and appreciate it!

[@Wince_Media]

Chillbilly isnt a freakishly muscular humanoid start *nooo!!!!!!!* In all seriousness, I love both this video and its designs! Your thoughts on art anf imprivment really resonate with me, and hearing what you habe to say makes me smile. Also, Tomlock is so badass, i love it! I also like how the water final had two sets of arms for extra expression! So cute!

[@paulycrossing]

I've been struggling a lot with the idea of being a perfectionist. For me, everything I make has to be the best thing i've EVER made. This philosophy of creating is super unhealthy and it makes me feel as if i'm losing passion for making things. I've slowly been trying to come around to the idea of "done is better than perfect" and hearing your take on being passionate and doing things you enjoy is extremely comforting. I've been watching for years now and you've been a huge inspiration to me and a driving force in why I started my own channel. Thank you for all the fun, comforting content! 🥳

[@SarahHHeath]

As soon as you said the Hahbah region was based on New England, my heart soared! I'm designing a *currently unnamed* fakemon region based around my home state of Maine! This video is an absolute savior for me! I've been working on it on and off for at least 5 years, with many of the designs not getting past a theoretical name, but watching this has definitely boosted my confidence! Thank you sincerely from a very enthusiastic Maine artist!!!!!

[@dude07201]

I would consider you to be one of the best Fakemon artists I know of and it's wild to me that someone I consider to be one of the best feels the need to preface the video with "I don't think I'm that amazing at this but here are my opinions on it". I'm a pro artist in the games industry and constantly battle the imposter syndrome but you're right, it is kind of comforting to know that people I think of as amazing artists struggle with it as well. There's the assumption that every other artist I admire knows that they're great and that's why their art is so good. We're definitely all harder on ourselves but it's something I'm getting better at and I hope the best for you as well. You're REALLY good at what you do

[@blainev1596]

I appreciate the honesty and openness regarding your passion. As a writer (who works veeery slowly) I’ve asked myself a lot of the same questions. I see other writers pump out loads of incredible work and win awards and such, and I feel like I’m just not as dedicated. But then I remember that passion isn’t just enthusiasm or productivity. I think true passion is the willingness to commit, to keep working even if you don’t feel like it that day or aren’t having fun. Jack, I don’t think you have any less passion for what you do than those other creators. You wouldn’t be able to see a three year project to its conclusion without intense passion for your craft. Some passion burns bright, some burns steady. 🙂

[@thesterninator]

Jack was one of the driving forces behind me deciding recently to make my own fakemon drawing channel and it is so comforting to hear that even at his level those feelings still creep in. Thank you for your words

You are the guy that made me appreciate all fakemon content. I didn't really know it existed before you. You are great and so are your drawings. Keep up with your amazing content!

[@ic7846]

You Are good at what you do. You are by far my favorite fakemon designer! Your concepts and execution always make me wish the Pokémon were real and I could put them in my team in a playthrough. And that is ultimately what you want from a design I feel.

[@gehenna4346]

Wonderful video - I love everything about the crabs head, the shotgun turkey is incredible. Ordered the figure too, thank you for everything!

[@SpookyDeerArt]

i've actually been thinking about revisiting a fakemon design i worked on a few years ago, this video is genuinely such a help with my struggles on it!! definitely gonna rewatch once i get back into the nitty gritty of the design process tbh

[@FoxbrushDraws]

I actually really love that you went with a grass goat with a football theme, even though I'm not big on sports. But there are football stadiums that use goats to mow the grass instead of electric mowers. Most of all, I love how you talk about art and design, seeing how concepts coalesce into an amazing finished product, and the process you put into everything you do. It's very inspiring as an artist. I'm (slowly) working on a game, and I can't help but keep coming back to your videos to learn how to better create my own creatures. Plus, you have successfully put Lovecraftian horror and Pokemon onto a single channel, and I cannot overstate how much I love that.

[@11nephilim]

I've recently gotten into design/concepting after years of working exclusively in 3D making production art and vids like this are a goldmine! Thankyou Jack It doesn't hurt that the designs themselves are incredible too! I honestly can't pick a favourite, any of em could end up on the team.

Whether it’s oil painting or balancing numbers on spreadsheets, I like applying my unique skills and creativity to different challenges. I like being good at stuff. I like showing off my work… I like looking at everything as my craft. Just enjoy what ever you are currently doing and don’t beat yourself up for having diverse interests.

[@cisarvitiate]

The final state of the fire type starter is really cool. I really don’t like any of the official newer starters (the last good looking ones I really like were in Gen 4) and wouldn’t have them in my final team. But if that fire turkey was a real mon than he would be in my champ team for sure.

Thank you for the wise message at the beginning 👍🏻 I'm currently trying to get into many creative hobbies which I could end up liking. But often I secretly condemn myself as attention-seeking or passionless. It's humble to hear from such a great artist like yourself that even professionals doubt their motivation from time to time. So don't worry people - you are not the disgrace that your inner voice gossips about occasionally. What ever your intent or your motivation is with creativity - don't hesitate because of steps you dislike or won't take - enjoy your feelings and ideas that started a creationary piece. 👌🏻

I'm so glad you pointed out which specifically you use for line art and texture for your fakemon in this video. Also, Meracostra is prob my favorite of these. I like the whole line, but maybe I'm biased as I'm originally from New England myself and really miss those rocky beaches.

I think- even without the context of it being a pokemon guide, for just general art too- I need to rewatch more and listen.

Really like the designs of all three. Tomlock (and his line) is such a funny and crazy design that it's sad that pokemon will not approach gun element in their designs (and i know they have a good reason for it) Meracostra is by far my favourite of them, and even if i'm not a fan of humanoid designs in starters (mainly being fed up with) the 4 arms and the fact that it mainly read as a crustacean to me, doesn't bother me Chillbilly is the most divisive for me, on one hand i like him, but i don't see the link with football as you said, but i think that rams, goats, etc are not enough used in pokemon that he feels very unique

[@Raptermonster24]

[@Ultrax_666]

Amazing vid as allways ! These tips and advice really help me fell better about my art and too improve on it , thank you Jack for all of this

[@DrakeDragonton]

You should make like fusiony things between the final forma. I mainly got the idea for a pistol shrimp that combine aspects from Tomlock and the shrimp guy (Maybe it could a like a Carmen San Diego type thing where it is an elegant spy with a pistol claw). The fusion between tomlock and the goat guy could be based off of the Jersey devil (A New Jersey mythological beast) and so it could have like a goat-like body with bird wings instead of the traditional bat wings. Finally, you could mix the sport aspect with the shrimp guy to create a volleyball playing crab or something (Volleyball was invented in Massachusetts). Idk, just an idea.

[@CraftedStarz]

Let me yap about your starters. The base form of all of them are AMAZING. I love how cute the grass starter is and I can just imagine the water starter being so small, and the fire startier I can vividly imagine it just winding up to sneeze like how old cartoons depict it and then just burning a hole in nearby objects. The middle stages I think are great too! The fire starters middle stage is the weakest for me but it makes since since its the akward phase of the line. The final stages are good. I like them i feel like water starts final evolution is too humaniod for my liking but i know others would love it. The final evolution for the fire starter is my favorite I actually really REALLY like its design its really cool, I imagine a signiture move would be like a base 120 power special move Fire type Move with like 90 accuracy and called Pebble Pump, were it just tosses up pebbles to reload then fires flaming pebbles at the opponent.

[@parakeets124]

Tomlock is defiantly my favorite. Its a fire turkey with a shotgun for a face. Whats not to love?

One of the most common mistakes for fakemon designers is starting with the first evolution stage. Ken Sugimori himself confirms that nearly all pokemon are designed with the final stage first. That means you create a really solid design to start with, and then subtract elements to create the earlier stages. Most people fail to achieve the vibe of true pokemon designs because they start with the first form and then try to add things, making it feel more tacked on instead of having a unique identity.
