Skipp from Ramshackle, Pokemon AU 🔥🔥

Wips + ramble under the cut, as per usual

Watched Ramshackle, thought it was neat. Joined the discord server, it's also pretty neat. I have pokemon brainrot so I decided to take a crack at designing a Pokemon AU for Ramshackle, which I know is not a particularly unique idea at all but who gaf. I'm having fun, I'm frolicking and playing BITCH.

Anyways. I thought it would make sense for Skipp to have an Oricorio PomPom forme, because he's a very upbeat person and he's the one that has the violin. He also taught Maggot to do the Worm, which is a dance move, and Oricorio is based all around dancing and music and whatnot. I imagine PomPom forme is the usual forme it takes but given that scraps have to adapt a lot, Skipp has probably experimented with different nectars based on what was available to him.

For other partner Pokemon, not pictured here of course, I gave him a Sunflora and a Solrock, to tie back around to his sunny personality (the casting call likens him to SpongeBob and Wander, so these mons seemed fitting). It also allows some variety on his team, which I would like all of the scraps to have to circle back around to the idea of adaptability and 'making do' with what's around you.

I obviously don't have a big fanbase, but if people wanted to have their own Ramshackle OCs also take part in the AU but they struggle with team building, you're more than welcome to reach out in DMs or through the ask box for advice. I'm basically the Laios of Pokemon, without the eating bits.

Anyways. Here's the WIPs:

This particular piece was a bit more difficult for me, given the complicated pose and inclusion of a non-human character. I think I did pretty well all things considered, and I'm definitely proud of how that hand turned out, especially since with the foreshortening it's a prominent aspect of the piece. You can see in the sketch WIP that I had to take a couple passes at it before I got something I liked, haha. Next time I'd like to have the final product a bit more fluid, as it stands the pose right now feels a little stiff to me, but that could just be me being overly critical of my own work.

As usual, the sketch and lineart were done traditionally, the lineart was scanned into IbisX and cleaned up, and then flat colours were applied. The shading this time around was done with a dark purple at 20% opacity, similarly to my Iono drawing.
