Fakemon Frenzy - Ice
A freezing batch of fakemon this time, with chilling vibes and literal coolness.
The more I delved into Pokemon art style and visual "rules", the more I came to appreciate a style that I often overlooked as very simple.
I realized that a detail-free style made of smooth shapes requires every choice to be bold and purposeful.
