In an unexpected fit of inspiration for Pokemon Day 2022 I made a couple of Pokesuit designs for the heroines of the Pokemon universe.
With unparallelled power and divine grace did Cynthia lay claim to the title of Sinnoh Champion, so who better to represent the creator god himself, Arceus, at his shrine Spear Pillar on the summit of Mt. Coronet.
Arceus is a Pokemon near and dear to my heart. In general I'm fascinated with all things mystical, spanning from fantasy and science-fiction to even my own faith irl. And with Platinum being the first Pokemon game I actually played all the way through, the Origin Trio and its leader Arceus are natually high on my list.
Arceus' defining feature is obviously the Ring around its body, the chain that channels the interdimensional energy it uses to exert its immense power. The problem with just putting it around Cynthias waist however is that I want the suit to look comfortable and usable so the ring would just be cumbersome. After some consideration, like putting it on her feet or behind her back I settled on making it into a crown/halo, which nicely underlined the divine imagery I wanted to go for. Beyond that Arceus has sharply pointed hooves which even seem to be tipped with a sort of metal. I wanted a way to recreate those as well while again keeping the suit wearable by a human, so I came up with the bracers which worked very well and, even better, for the feet I made the hooves into metal tipped ballet boots which combined with the overall pose of Cynthia I am particularly proud of and it emphasized her aura of superiority very nicely.
So was warmed up and ready to do something crazy - one of my favorite Pokemon and one of my favorite characters. For this piece I actually started digging for reference material and found an amazing pose on a cover art, which I then extracted with some photoshop magic. Also this was a nice exercise in shading. Because Arceus is predominantly white, all texture and topography of the suit would have to come from shadows. And lastly I put a little more diversity into the background. For the mountain ridges I actualy employed techniques I gleaned from Bob Ross believe it or not. The way the two directions of strokes give the mountain its depth and shape is directly derived from how he made them in his paintings by spreading out the paint with a knife.
