Totally NOT Furret | Let's Make A Fakemon ✏️

[@benkipo]

Love the design! It really hits that sweet spot for me of not looking too much like any specific animal even though it is based on a ferret. It still very much feels like its own thing! As a creative, it’s always fun to see other’s process! Awesome that you start on physical paper!

[@Substitube]

Thank you! I don't always start on physical paper (usually only when I doodle). If I already have a concrete idea in mind, the sketching will occur digitally.

I’ve been making my own fakemon region and honestly you’ve been a big inspiration of mine for doing so with all the videos of ideas for different topics in Pokémon. Along with the old videos with you making line art of the fakemon sprites you created. Also Seeing this series comeback makes me really happy.

[@Substitube]

That's good to hear. Any topics you'd like me to cover in the future (to help with your region?)

[@heraboss5214]

You’ve pretty much gone through many of the main topics in Pokémon like items, moves, trainer classes, evil teams etc. Maybe something like Pokémon Abilities ideas, Biome ideas within a region, or even to go wild with it maybe different Pokémon minigame ideas like poke-athalon or puffin making. Stuff like that would be really interesting.

[@Substitube]

@@heraboss5214 the ability ideas is definitely in the schedule (planned to be the ideas finale since there are 100+ ideas). Biomes and minigames are great topics that I wouldn't mind covering. I've listed minigames off for my own hack, but I guess if people are interested I'll share them!

[@Substitube]

Please send feedback about the overall pacing! The drawing parts are sped up 800% at the moment

We need a Fakemon Website with all Top-Tier Fakemon Creators

It's always nice to see the design process of art.

Always good to see an upload from you

Friend of the channel status achieved! I use an XP-Pen tablet too btw

[@Substitube]

Nice! I still need to figure out the pen pressure settings but it's much easier to use than mouse/keyboard

[@bobalinx8762]

Did your painting brush come with the brush pack?

[@Substitube]

it's been so long ago but yes, I believe it did

[@SunnyOddny]

Your art and taste is so good, its clear you've been doing this for a long time, but i must say i think, at least compared to other pokemon content the pacing is difficult. to me its no biggie, i love seeing the drawing but i think if compared there is too much space inbetween talking, and even if we both love that early pokemon music it can be grating when played with no voiceover. i adore this design, but i think tying in some fun concept into the title so people know what they are in for is good, like "can i make a better furret?", with furret in the thumbnail, just for the clickthrough rate, then you ofcourse disclose it as just that in the video so as to not step on any toes... i dont really know shit though, i love this but im sure you could make it more accessible and popular, hurts to see such a talented artist not blowing up yet :,)

[@SunnyOddny]

You do whatever you want, not my intention to disagree with your art cause i respect what you do, but look around and see what other people do. Subjectively does a similar thing, with the fakemon in the thumbnail but also has some other fakemon in silhouette, with a theme that includes all the mons, so just by doing that you create levels of intrigue, and then you could also switch out who's in the silhouette and who's in the foreground, could potentially make a person that didnt click, click the next time they see the vid with the new mon there, different people like different stuff after all. don't feel pressured to change anything, i will always watch whatever you do afterall :)

[@Substitube]

@@SunnyOddny don't discredit yourself, i honestly appreciate the feedback! (it's what I was looking for, in fact). I'm not good at making commentary on-the-fly so the long pauses were a consequence of me recording the audio before I actually draw. Doing so after recording footage might help, even if it requires more takes and re-watching the footage more. I'll give the intrigue aspect for thumbnails/titles a try too (if not this one, then the next attempt)
