My fan design for Mega Aurorus. It's much taller, with a sloped back and raised neck like a brachiosaurus, and the blue of its body is deeper in a shade of royal blue. The ice crystals on its sides have merged into one larger shape, and it now has three small ice spikes on its back, two on either side of its neck and two aligned with those at the back of the neck.
Its sails have detached from the neck, now flowing like the aurora borealis and attached only at the brow, with three crystals of ice at the tips and three either side of a larger one in the middle of the forehead. Its white 'eyelash' pattern is larger with two spikes and rims the back of the eye, and its iris is the same cold blue as the ice. Three ice crystals dangle from each eye in a chain, like fancy earrings.
Its tail now ends in a sail similar to the head ones, with several ice crystals hanging from its length and three at the tip.

The ruthless tyrant's counterpart!

Mega Aurorus
Rock/Ice

Its sails are charged with energy, shining even more beautifully than before. Its regal demeanour is elevated, and in combat it ignores its opponents as ice storms pummel them.

Beatroot [Flora-type, Botanical-order]
- It produces a "sweat" that coats its opponents in red stains. This sweat is used in dyes. They root themselves into the ground before springing out of it to fight foes they deem as worthy

Question: "Do Psychies evolve into new forms like other mon games? Is it like an Invizimals situation where the name stays the same but they evolve into bigger more advanced forms?"

Illustration: Process of a Derbling (Psychie of Playfulness) transforming into Dullien (Psychie of Boredom) and back when exposed to Sadness + Time and Joy + Play respectively.

Psychies don't have evolutions but Psychies can transform into other Psychies under the right circumstances.

They are very unstable creatures, so exposure to emotions beyond their own may cause them to mood shift and transform into another Psychie!

Shamato, Psychie of Shame.

Shamato is a tomato plant with a bright red tomato for a face. It has a constantly wincing expression and its vine body wraps itself around a stockade to act as a torso.

This Psychie cowers away from the gaze of others it as if it has wronged them just by existing. Its face turns a deeper red the more company it finds itself in.

"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of inside out?"

Illustration depicts Petrillop (Psychie) and Fear (Inside Out) both jolted up in shock at seeing each other, frozen in fear.

Part 5 for this question!
Probably the last for this question for now but I'll revisit it at a later date for the other emotions!

Petrillop and Fear both panic at anything new and do their best to protect their host from danger. They are also frozen in shock just seeing each other.

Page of drawn designs for a creature type I call β€œPotted Golems”! Living creatures made of magical plants that have taken over their vessels. From left to right, top to bottom we have:
Standard Teracotta Pot: A golem made from sprouting plants in a cracked terracotta plant pot. The cracks from the creature’s β€œmouth”, and allow for holes to form soil into hands and extend roots out into feet. 
β€œRecycled” Cup: A styrofoam cup with a dandelion planted in it (and a plastic straw), turned into one of these creatures. It can’t crack the cup enough to get more than a single spread of roots out for one foot to hop along on, but it continues on regardless.
Flower Basket: A golem made up of a large number of flowers in a woven basket. Instead of soil and roots, its β€œhands” are stray leaves and petals that have fallen from the flowers it carries, and its β€œfeet” are the bottom ends of the ribbon tied at the bade of its basket handle.
Old Potion Bottle: A glass bottle not rinsed of life potion thoroughly enough before being used as a vase, resulting in a potted golem! It is cracked to form its mouth and limbs in a similar way to the Standard Terracotta Pot golem, but instead of soil, it’s filled with and using water, with a lovely flower standing tall over the edge of the bottle.
Mini Succulent: A potted golem made of a small succulent plant in a miniature porcelain pot. Its exterior isn’t cracked, but instead its hands are made of floating soil and rocks from the top layer of the pot, and it has feet/eyebrows made of pebbles too.

A sketchy notes page that goes into more detail on the anatomy and history of Potted Golems as a creature!
At the very top is a little doodle of a witch watching her potion bottle spring to life as a Potted Golem, with text next to it that says "Potion Bottle breeds were the first ones! A witch in training didn't rinse a used bottle well enough before using it as a vase."
Under that is a little drawn diagram of a vase, showing the ratios of Life Potion, Water (or soil), and Soul Host plant needed to assemble a golem.
To the left of that is a sketch of the Potion Bottle golem, with arrows and captions pointing to places on its body, stating "If vessel is solid, it will usually crack to allow for limbs" and "Plant health measured by appearance OR eye brightness"
Under the assembly diagram is 3 sketches of different plants, with the caption "Any plant works!" above it.
The bottom left of the page has sketches of a terracotta pot golem in attack mode, one being watered, and 3 more shapes/plants for golems not featured in the initial artwork. The bottom right shows a terracotta pot golem being "dismantled", as the plant is removed from the old pot to be put into a new basket vessel, the old pot going lifeless and the dirt that was once limbs piling up on the ground. The written text above and below this drawing reads "Remember, the soul IS the PLANT! Golems can be dismantled by removal, OR replanted into new pots for a makeover!"

My initial rough sketches for each of the potted golem varieties I included in my full art, sketches in blue pencil brush! Next to it on my canvas is a zoomed-in picture of the oiriginal pen-and-paper sketch, the very first design for the Potted Golem (a Terracotta pot one)

Posted the finished art page for these designs with yesterday's portfolio day post, but here's a closer look at Potted Golems!

Originally I'd drawn it with pen while out of the house, and later decided I wanted to try and take the concept further.

An illustration by me in two halves, that can be turned right side up or upside down. The β€œtop” is a white, flower-covered cat on a mossy rock in the middle of a pond, surrounded by a misty forest full of fairies, flowers and wildlife.
The β€œbottom” is a black, crystal-covered cat on a mossy rock in the middle of a pond, surrounded by cyan mushrooms with bioluminescent swirling patterns on their caps, and crystal growths glowing in pink, purple and orange colors inside of a cave.

My illustrated character design, dubbed β€œThe Dancing Dark”. A humanoid being with a β€œface” and β€œhair” made of shadows leaking out from their big hat and parts of their snazzy suit. Instead of a tailcoat they have 4 floating panels attached to their waist that resemble butterfly wings. Besides the wide brim hat and suit top, they also have on vertically striped pants, pointy dress shoes, and white gloves (that also show they may have claws as well). Their tie and earrings are designed to look like the chrysalis of a butterfly.
They are surrounded by butterfly-like entities that use their wings and antennae to emote like sets of eyes (should I call them Butterfl-eyes?)

My drawing of a shiny Hydrapple (Pokemon), decorated like a giant supreme candied apple!
Hydrapple itself is a light green 5-headed serpent with two tails, coming out of a candied apple base that’s usually red, or caramel in the case of the shiny. The main of these heads sits in the middle, with horns and a green apple skewered on one!

For my candied Hydrapple, I used the shiny for the caramel base, but gave it different layers of cool coatings/toppings! The top layer is covered in dripping caramel, a white chocolate swirl, and dollops of whipped cream. The second layer is darker caramel with peanut pieces. The third layer is white chocolate with rainbow sprinkles. The fourth layer is smooth milk chocolate. And at the bottom, the caramel returns with apple slices decorating the bottom around the base of the apple!

Sulleech and Disgust match each other but probably don't like each other very much. Both of them are mutually disgusted by one another.
