Finally Made A Reference For All Of My Pikmin Designs!

Finally made a reference for all of my pikmin designs!

This guy really grew on me as the anime went on man (and I think he should get a painting on the back of his jacket too. To be cool like his dad mentor)

Sooo very very scribbly but I really wanted to put this on paper screen. whatever

Olimar possessed by plasm wraith. Might change the design later and all, but the concept is: The wraith, being a lonely creature, takes control of the prey that falls on her planet and consumes their minds and bodies slowly, until they've been completely assimilated.

But she has a preference for the bravest exploreres, the ones who survive the best on her planet, hence her obsession with the man who not only survived and ecaped but had the nerve to return.

The Wraith is in control most of the time, though sometimes she lets Olimar for a bit just to see how he'll react

"Ok man but how did the Wraith sligthly changed Olimar's clothes colors are they a fcking designer now" LEAVE ME ALONE OK IT LOOKED BETTER LIKE THIS

I also like rerring to the Wraith as a she, I think it fits

W. When the captains. Are shipping. When th

I don’t even know what to ask cuz I’ve never played PIKMIN and I’ve never played F-Zero, all I know if that they teamed up in smash bros brawl and I love the ship so much for some reason 😭😭 little guy and big guy.

What’s their dynamic? How’d they meet? What are they doing?

My sISTER IN CHRIST you just unlocked a five-hour cutscene with this ask

I'll start with dynamic…

Both of them love to talk. To share their crime-fighting and planet-exploring adventures. And they also love to be together in comfortable silence. Falcon is the more constantly talkative one. Olimar tends to stay silent for a long time, then jump to a full five-hour podcast, since he just loves to get all descriptive and philosophical about mundane or alien things to someone willing to listen.

They’re also SO IMPOSSIBLY, SICKENINGLY SOFT with each other. They’re all “dears” and “darlings” and they’re very physically affectionate. Olimar likes to just shove himself to Falcon like a cat and Falcon likes to grab Olimar in a hug out of nowhere.

About how they met, I figure it was when Olimar had to deliver something to Mute City (he's a space delivery guy, in case you don't know) and got caught up in a criminal situation. Lucky, local bounty hunter/hero Captain Falcon was there and protected him! Later that day, Olimar ended up in a certain cafe, and the owner spoke to him - asking if he was ok, since he “saw what happened in the news…” (the scene I did here) (Falcon owning a cafe is a thing from the anime btw.) And they got along pretty well! But I have no more details for what they’re doing now since I still have a lot to work on my "pikzero" au - I only figure rn Olimar has to stay in mute city for work reasons and that's how they keep seeing each other.

Annnd boy do I have thoughts about them getting in some angsty stuff together and caring for each other……. (i can absolutely get into it if someone asks. I can ALSO get into the specifics of the admiration they feel for each other but this ask is already pretty big sooo)

Anyway tysm for the ask 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I am currently breathing this ship and running in circles screeching until I get my au right—

Slight Black Shadow redesign for funsies! I thought about posting this on day 30 for fzerovember but I have zero patience. anyway

Idk man the anime made me love this guy. He's ridiculous. The writers were like "hey we're doing THE most generic, one-dimensionally evil, saturday morning cartoon villain ever conceived." But they comitted SO HARD that it kinda circles back and he's awesome actually. Dude's playing 4-d chess 2 with the universe and laughing evily at least twice every single time he appears. All his plans are pure bs but he just looks so cool and intimidating doing them. Love that guy
