[@yokaiju8909]

Winning this was an awesome feeling and it was super fun to design Zarcoil and (half of) Frizzard's megas. Thanks man, for the opportunity and for picking my entries.

[@ashleighcalvert8937]

You absolutely killed it!

[@hylophobix]

you KILLED it! i love them both! i didnt like frizzard and zarcoil much before this, but their megas are AWESOME! keep up the great work!

[@123newjersey3]

Their megas have become one of my FAVES from the mazah region, and pokemon in general!

[@poonamsingh9353]

Dude your art is crazy good !!!!

[@yagoamorim_]

your render ia just perfect!!! are you open for guiding people who are striving to reach that level? some tips and that kinda stuff would be pretty usefull 😅😬 congratulations!

[@Sakuzygy]

Mega Laguna has such a Sailor Moon vibe to it, it's amazing 😍

[@celeryguy3631]

The original submitted artwork for it actually did make a sailor moon reference with its shiny!

[@sushiroll3795]

It was insanely difficult to narrow down the hundreds of amazing submissions we got to the final winners. Congrats to all of y'all!

[@Fr4yDay]

I’m just imagining a funny skit where a Mega Roadraptor is soaring through the air with a trainer on its back, and the Mega Evolution runs out and dissipates midair, and they both look down, dumbfounded, before falling. Like a Wile E. Coyote skit.

[@sketchydude8431]

Not sure if its intentional, but I love how Mega Porygon Z seems to be a nod to the Pokemon Red and Blue glitchmons (Context, in the original pokemon games, there are glitchmons. A lot of which has a new type called a "glitch type," which gives it no weaknesses, but no resists either.)

[@MerryThiccmas]

That was a big inspiration in the design process, yes

[@sketchydude8431]

​@@MerryThiccmasYou did amazing! I'm always a sucker for random geometric shapes Definitely my favorite Mega out of these first submissions

[@wyvernknight]

I kinda wish that it got the Bird type instead of the ??? Type honestly. It wouldn’t be too far out either, considering it’s a digital duck.

[@MerryThiccmas]

@@wyvernknight bird type? wut

[@wyvernknight]

@@MerryThiccmas in gen one it was a glitch type, if you did the glitch right and caught Missingno, then it would be the bird type. It has no weaknesses and no resistances if i remember. Correction: it wasn’t a glitch, but it was just cut mid production, and Missingno was a bird/normal type, so i think that Mega Porygon-Z would be a sick nod to that honestly

[@flareblitz4232]

Yeahh! Its here! Im so happy with how all the megas look! Huge thanks again to Jxgxvxm and the dev team with creating the mega roadraptor design! It was a huge collaborative effort between us all and im super proud with the outcome! Huge thanks to Jack aswell for rendering the megas for this video and the next ones to come!!

[@gobbyguardian9495]

To be honest, the megas I'm hoping for the most are for the starters. My biggest gripe with X and Y is that the starters didn't get megas. They are supposed to be your partner, why not give them a cool new form.

[@KylETISZAI]

This! Posting a video today fyi

[@vincentleonard3797]

Particularly egregious since Alola and Galar got the memo and gave their starters access to the fun. I doubt Paldea's starters will get unique Terastal forms like Ogerpon did, but it is simply a bonus in my eyes anyways.

[@leonardofarias8843]

It should have happened in Z or X and Y 2

[@xsaviorsoul460]

I agree

[@psychicmaster92]

I never knew there was a contest, but I'm glad for more Mazah content.

[@JmasterXisKing]

Same

[@zorusion4888]

Same! When/where was it announced?

[@voidboi2831]

yep ive definitely watched this entire video in 30 seconds and can confirm its good edit: the video starts at 5:40 btw

[@everfluctuating]

closer to 5:34 i think

[@IriKoro]

thank youuuu, so much pointless stuff at the beginning

[@BonnyJohn]

These are all so clean; super proud of your community and chiming in with my favorites: Roadraptor and Laguna especially! The final pair came out so sick as well!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wyvernknight]

Mega Frizzard and Mega Porygon-Z where sick. Mega Frizzard had that body-language to where it looks slow and tanky, but hits like a truck. If it was animated it would fight brutishly and recklessly, I’m sure it would go up and slug someone, then shoot a point blank ice-beam.

[@yokaiju8909]

Glad you like Frizzard! It was fun combining mine and Jojo's designs into the final results, so it's nice to see people seem to like it.

[@slylanders1291]

So it's been a while since you posted this video, when is part 2 coming out? And when do we get a look at the other gym leaders and other important characters? Since Valentina's first appearance back in October 2020 I wanted to see the rest of the gym leaders have videos where you draw and explain about them, but there hasn't been anything and I would like to know when is it possible to see more characters in the future.

[@anactualwhale6074]

I’m sad I missed the announcement for this, I definitely would have entered the contest. Congratulations to all the people who won and entered art, it’s all so amazing to see!

[@iliaskatsadouris1186]

The laguna mega is perfect, the transition of the evo line is very natural. I went through the mega submissions and i would love to see you illustrate the jumpluff (bandersnatch) mega or any macrabra mega.

[@borealmind]

I don't think anyone will complain about new Mazah Content. These Megas are amazing. Makes me really nostalgic and a bit said, since there probably wont be new official Megas. Congrats to the winners!

[@Orkunkadunk]

I’ve had an idea for mega pyukumuku where he gets more back spikes to change the base design a bit with a more angry expression and he has an entire human sized boxer coming out of his mouth made of the white innards

[@dcbandit]

I think Mega Ledian should have an ability that gives priority to punch attacks when low on hp, to increase the Shonen Hero aspect of it, maybe as a secret ability or something. Game Freak really missed the potential for Ledian in Sword and Shield, it should have had a Gigantimax form that referenced Ultraman, the character the pokemon was inspired by.

[@animefan25]

Wait a minute. Ledian was based on Pulseman, a character from one of their earlier games.

[@dcbandit]

@@animefan25 oh, I can see it! Still, I think there is some reference to Ultraman there, considering so many early gen pokemon are based on the series, and Game Freak isn't afraid to combine references, I wouldn't be surprised if it was based on both.

[@shmooters5599]

Mega Laguna was my favorite from this bunch. It’s adorable and while I’m typically not one for cute pokemon, they look so cool that I’d definitely want one on my team

[@jxgxvxm]

Lets gooo!!! I'm really happy the video is finally here, all the designs are so clean. Honestly tho, the devs and Flareblitz contributed the most in the Roadraptor colab, I'm happy to be a part of it so thanks ya guys. Also Mega Laguna is still my favorite design and I'm glad the designs were in the same vid, looking firward to the next parts as well! Tanks Jack for making these videos and going out of your way to do this, that's really awesome.

[@MrExcaliburg]

These are so amazing! Love the collaborations and can't wait to see more from this series, props to everyone. All these designs are so great it's hard to choose a favorite but mega Roadraptor for me sells that fantasy of mega evolutions for me.

[@garyndoriburdine5148]

This isnt a part 2 yet pls dont forget about part 2

[@llsilvertail561]

Obsessed with all of these. Your community is honestly fantastic.

[@burningshadowxd7633]

Eyyyyyyyy Finally it's out! I also joined in the contest for the hell of it although I didn't win (mine are Mega Mimikyu's, Two of em, kinda like Charizard and Mewtwo) but despite not winning it was still a fun time. Thanks for the opportunity to compete Jack!

[@joshallen3165]

So happy this has finally been released! Congratulations to all the winners, some incredible submissions!

[@rorororroror12]

These are so cooooollll!!! Thank you for revisiting Mazah for us ❤️❤️❤️

[@luidearaujo]

Man, you’re the best. Amazing artist and humble to recognize others. Keep it up!

[@openpage2376]

I just finished binge watching the whole series for the first time, I’m so happy to see more

[@tibbittsaerospace201]

I remember coming across you when you were at

[@marc0s158]

I am so happy we get more Mazah content! thank you Jack for your dedication to this seemingly never-ending project! :)

[@froggy12koreangirl]

These are absolutely amazing; I love the moon bunny! These megas were really great; Stellar work’ and Ledian was cool too

[@Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus17]

Mega Roadraptor reminds me of the Savacou, a lightning bird from Taino mythology

[@solosaf6754]

i didnt even knew there was a contest, but big congrats to the winners and particiants!

[@dragonsswarm1987]

Mega Road raptor kind of looks like a Secretary bird! That's amazing!

[@Zamtrios245]

I like how the Pokedex descriptions mix the power of the xy/oras descriptions, and the description of how these forms are dangerous when extended from Sun and Moon

[@willow1280]

I gotta say, I love mega laguna's design so much I love cute looking pokemon of course, and I already liked the laguna line, but not enough to plan on using it when I play the game but now? This thing will be in my team no matter what!! It's so adorable and so powerful looking and I just love it so much

[@Hallett2012]

absolutely amazing works!!

[@francesconecci3087]

This bunch of megas is AMAZING. Amongst the coolest stuff in the region. Great work.

[@georgesmith9961]

Darn i completely forgot about this comp! :/ oh well happy to get more Mazah and congrats to all the winners🎉

[@LittleParade_]

I do really like the dolphin-like tail in the original Porygon design! It's lost in the final rendering but it looks great nonetheless!

[@zeppie_]

It's awesome that you're learning 3D! It can be daunting at first for 2D artists, but it's a really nice skill to have and can help streamline the illustration process, say, modelling something real quick to put it in perspective If you're considering to continue learning 3D, I'd honestly give my recommendation to Blender over Maya. They are both quite similar and in the end get the job done, but Blender's toolset is much wider and more useful for hobbyists, whereas Maya is optimised as an industry modelling tool and as _modelling tool_ only. Sculpting and rendering are best done with programs other than Maya, whereas Blender has good enough functionality built-in. That's not to say that experience in Maya is useless, as you're still getting experience in 3D modelling which applies to any 3D modelling software. However, at some point you'll really start to feel the limitations of the program you're working with, at which point the differences between the two start to stand out.

[@just_a_folk95]

I love these so much! The two lizards are definitely my favorites, the mons really needed some more appreciation! But each one deserved the spotlight, Laguna is INSANE, was in my top picks from the megas as well, really good job to everyone!

[@Unimportant]

I really love how mega Laguna incorporates the full moon.

[@frownyclowny6955]

Will say, Mega Frizzard looks smaller than normal Frizzard. I think this disparity is literally just the pose for me. I do love how Mega Frizzard just looks like Gigalith or Coalossal (aka Galarian Golem). It fits in well with established design ideas for Pokémon, while putting its ow spin on things. It looks like it could’ve existed in Gen 4

[@mechagamer3602]

Ledian, zarcoil, and roadraptor were my favorites. Im definitely adding all three to my team when the full game comes out

[@Error-wn5gy]

I can imagine Jack as Gru in that "guys I have bad news" meme but replace bad news with "Mazah region updates"

[@pieguy5323]

Excited for more!

[@ethanemerson4862]

The mega porygon Z entry sounds like an SCP document.

[@tristonallie9749]

Thank you for the amazing content, I would like to see the mazah starters mega evolved❤️🔥

[@soccalegendz4430]

Thanks for entertaining me. Lots of fun =)

[@hulked-outnerd3743]

Glad to see the mazag region again, would love to see more of the non-pokemon aspect, official (jack drawings) of the dev teams gym leaders trainers rivals or a map update

[@b-sidecassette]

5 months and no part two🥺

[@toad3224]

these designs be slappin! well done yall!

[@caruzo9631]

you say it like we‘d be disappointed that Mazah is not done yet 😄 keep em coming! ❤

[@dazzledoodle]

This is the single best ledian form I've ever seen, it's awesome

[@the_only_lamp]

0:00 The video starts here 😊

[@JoJoAnimates]

This contest was really great, it was fun to draw these, and I even won. Thank you for holding this contest, also yokaiju version of what I drew was amazing. ( air conditioning dragon go pew )

[@mayorglalie]

It'd be funny if Mega Porygon Z's shiny was just entirely a flat purple so it looks like its textures just didn't load in

[@rowleaf774]

Where is the part 2😭

[@miiryx7828]

Congrats to everyone these designs are amazing!! I love Mega Laguna and it will probably be joining my team!

[@ToastyGhostie-np9bd]

Every one of these Mazah region videos is SO MUCH FUN!!! My FAV from this batch is Mega Laguna!!!

[@jaydenshrestha8095]

My man really turned roadraptor into a legiana from monster hunter

[@sunsetsynth]

Mega Laguna is soooo good!! I love the way the tail looks both like a full moon and a big fluffy snowball. It really delivers on the theme of the Laguna line _and_ the ice type

[@The_Millipede_Man]

I love mega Laguna’s silhouette, it looks like a ringed planet

[@aqj2014]

mega ledian is probably my favorite..its always been one of my favorite bug pokemon, and pokemon from gen 2. as for a mega, if it hasnt gotten one already..tropius. another favorite of mine

[@zattart]

I’ve always thought Ledian was such a cool design! All the way back when Gen 2 first came out. Glad to see it getting some love so I’d have to go with Mega Ledian!

[@benjaminacuna8013]

I’ve been waiting for more of jacks lore character design videos they have been missed this year

[@dragonarcher89]

im in love with mega roadraptor =3 though the entire line looks awesome

[@jeremychau2322]

Do we get a part two?

[@saltilton3912]

I was the one that designed ledian! Super excited to see what u did to it. (Also sorry my username is so hard to pronounce 😂)

[@chanithpeiris]

I am welcomed to u doing more mazah region Pokémon drawings this is legit one of the best Pokémon series on KZbin and u have done a great job

[@cinirahstrings1126]

Seeing you scroll across the videos and seeing the numbers drop from 400K+ to like 20k is very soul wrecking to me

[@iridescent7816]

Dozens of new mega evolutions? Don't mind if I do! Loving all the creativity displayed by the community, enhancing the region to new heights it wouldn't have reached otherwise~

[@Southernanna]

Hi,I like your art and do you have any recommendations for what I can try to draw fanart of ❤

[@aaronolson6736]

Frizzard and Zarcoil really came around on me when I realized they're built like Megaman Mavericks/Net Navis and the megas play into it that aspect expertly

[@sagedeen4180]

Mega Laguna is definatly my favorurate, love it when the early route mon get attention an especially a mega design as cool and as graceful as this one!

[@BabyChan33]

wow!!! wow!! I have no words just wow!! nicely done!!

[@bbboijnk]

i'm don't know if i'm more excited for the legendary megas or the starter ones

[@zendroidy]

Those are brill! Not a day goes by that I don't feel like Game Freak wasted the potential of Mega Evolution in picking pokémon that absolutely didn't need it instead of making forgotten pokémon more viable. That could have been some love for Smeargle, Sunflora, Ledian, Volbeat, Unown, etc, etc. Oh well.

[@Zekenstein_]

I know it would be weird if potassopod had a mega but it would be cool if it made use of a Pokémon like Dhelmise at the same time, kind of like a shipwreck

[@azcartoons4622]

Mazah Region DLC? Let's go!

[@greendoor4039]

I feel like mega zarcoil could do with a few adjustments not to the design itself but to make the stance less stiff

[@rlamin2128]

I really hope you will one day make a second region! It would be awesome

[@Asm0d3u5]

I hope that I can participate one day! Y'all did amazing!!!!

[@monkeykingvk]

Are we all just gonna ignore the nasty segway into the sponsor. Very clean, good job.

[@lucash5922]

Please never stop this is my favorite pastime 😂

[@ArgyleKatt]

Love these designs! Just curious as to why Roadraptor’s mega ability is Gale Wings, seems a little redundant as it’s probably outspeeding everything with its massive speed!

[@Juliet-Belcouleur]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL !

[@LetMeEatIt]

"it will never strike a foe unworthy of its might" _The level 5 rodent worthy of Mega Ledian's might:_

[@Galavantworks]

Definitely loving the more Tokusatsu themed designed on Ledian would make a great rider counterpart to Lokix if Lokix gets a Mega equivalent too

[@parkerlee4775]

Mega Laguna is a treat of a Pokémon design, what a great submission ❤️

[@aussiepuppet5250]

I had no idea this was on 😭😭

[@j.rileyindependentproductions]

It's REALLY been 3.5 years?! Feels like maybe at most 8 months!

[@wandahoi_.]

cool!! more pokemon species suffering by the effects of mega evolving, i love them !!

[@Spyko-]

love how mega porygon dex entry read like an SCP file

[@mito_sis]

Really miss the more cosmic ear pattern in Mega Laguna's original design, it reads a tiny bit more as an Ice type now (and Ice/Fairy is an excellent type for it, don't get me wrong), but its ears were what did it for me originally, what made me fall in love with that design

[@openpage2376]

I’d love to see a subjectively class on drawing Pokémon on skillshare

[@AlfonsoSRT]

Mega-Porygon's entry reads like an SCP

[@pallukun]

im part of the subjectively discord and yet i had no idea this was going on

[@samicandycane]

Mega Laguna giving major Sailor Moon vibes 🥰

[@pyromncer410]

Obsessed with mega Laguna. What a great design!
