Fiancé and I have come to the conclusion that they simply must run a stand. posting it in the middle of the night on tumblr since no one looks here anyway but it makes me happy.
while Suchocuel had some minor changes, Cucathermoro (now named Cuncathervo) got a major overhaul inspired by what Subjectively imagined for Fuecoco’s evolution. I made it fire/ghost type, which not only works because of ghost peppers and Fuecoco’s pepper-like shape, but also fits with the Coco, the possible inspiration for the name of this pepper croc, being akin to an Iberian boogeyman (I also kept the allusion to the cucafera with its now-firey wings being able to drape over itself). Like Subjectively, I also used the ghost type to add some elements of Iberian dinosaurs, specifically Concavenator, Baryonyx, and a bit of Pyroraptor. Cuncathervo being fire/ghost also works in a dark sort of way, given that I’m subtly making it the bull in the Chinese Zodiac of fire starters, it’s mostly colored red, and the altered design of the starter with the type effectiveness against it…
Alcatrespa is still water/fighting. The main thing I did for Bluvicio was add an expansion of the pattern on Quaxly’s feather tuft that also homages the classic “cross-pop vein” trope that suits its personality, and for Alcatrespa, I edited the design of the “hat” accordingly, but the main change was to the wings, making them larger and more akin to the wings of Decidueye with the large color being red; not only does it homage the iconic muleta of a matador, but for me, it just completes the design
