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.

"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 4 for this question!

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

"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of Inside Out?" Illustration depicts Sulleech (Psychie) and Disgust (Inside Out) making repulsed faces at each other.

Part 3 for this question!

Cruciboil and Anger both seem to let rage build up inside of them until it bubbles over and erupts like a volcano, so they seem like a perfect fit!

#PsychiesArt #InsideOut
"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of Inside Out?" Illustration shows Cruciboil (Psychie) and Anger (Inside Out) shouting at each other with fire erupting from the tops of their heads.

Part 2 for this question!

Sadness and Droopery. Sometimes the strongest of us are those who look like they are barely keeping it together, and that is true of both of them.

#PsychiesArt #InsideOut
"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of inside out?" Illustration depicts Droopery (Psychie) and Sadness (Inside Out) huddled up around a sad memory orb together.

Thank you to whoever sent this question, it's a really fun idea!

This answer will be a multi-parter so this is part 1!

First of all, Derbling and Joy! Both energetic, peppy and playful, while also having a bit of unexpected blue in their designs!

#PsychiesArt #InsideOut
"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of inside out?" Illustration depicts Derbling (Psychie) and Joy (Inside Out) bowing to each other politely with big smiles on their faces.

Wanting to get back to my Strawpage to answer some questions about Psychies!

Florgetta are probably the most common Psychies. Although not emotions themselves, they play an important role in cleaning the mindscape and discarding old memories.
"Out of all the Psychies you've made, which one would you say is the most common/prevalent in the world? (Optional bonus question: Which of each type is the most common?)" Illustration depicts two Florgetta brushing away dusty old memories with a broom and feather duster.

Gnomentum - Psychie of Patience

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Gnomentum, Psychie of Patience. Gnomentum is a small gnome with an oversized hat which has a fishing line hanging from the end. At the end of the line is a small orange fish, trapped in a bucket shaped block of ice. Gnomentum has its beard wrapped around it like a plaited scarf. This Psychie waits so long to catch its target that even the water in which it fishes freezes over. It knows that a big catch will come along eventually, no matter how long it takes.

Wanting to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year by reworking a very old Psychie design from when I first started this project years back!

Meet Fluddle, Psychie of Kindness!

#PsychiesArt
Fluddle, Psychie of Kindness. Fluddle is a penguine-like creature wearing a pink and yellow sweater. It holds two knitting needles from which strings from its belly knot together to create a sweater.

Miravice - Psychie of Jealousy

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Miravice, Psychie of Jealousy. Miravice is a brass coloured mirror with 6 segmented legs and 4 gemstone-like eyes. In its jaws, it holds the glass mirror reflecting a wistful expression. This Psychie relentlessly follows those that have what it wants so that it can capture their reflection. When it is able to perfectly reflect the desired traits of its target, its focus shifts to a new subject to start the cycle anew.

Wushtep - Psychie of Excitement

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Wushtep, Psychie of Excitement. Wushtep is a lion dancer, a practice often seen in Chinese new year celebrations. It is reared up on its back legs, showing off its sneakers with a wide smile on its face. Undeterred by uncertainty, this Psychie bounds forth into the unknown with a glow in its eyes. It dances frantically wherever it goes and lifts the mood of those it meets.

Rawyrm - Psychie of Hunger

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Rawyrm, Psychie of Hunger. Rawyrm is a round bird-like creature that resembles an apple with a worm through it. From its mouth, a long worm like creature protrudes out where its tongue would be as it bares its teeth. Rawyrm also has a long tail which also resembles that of a worm. No matter how much this Psychie eats, its hunger is never satisfied. It has a long worm-like appendage coming from its mouth that does all of the eating for it, though it's unclear whether it shares with the rest of the body.

Hubrick - Psychie of Ambition

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Hubrick, Psychie of Ambition. Hubrick is a tower of turtles in the shape of a castle rampart with brick-like designs on their shells. The bottom turtle has a set of bars over its face, while the top holds a flag waving high in the air. They work together to build the tallest stack that anyone has ever seen but each one aspires to be at the top spot some day. When a Hubrick tower gets too tall, it becomes much easier to topple.

Been hard at work at my submission for @moiraigames.bsky.social's Monster Design contest for Aethermancer!

Here's what I've been working on:

Stiltskin, The Two Faced Weaver.
Based on Rumpelstiltskin, it's a monster that lures humans into golden traps of its design.

Excited to explore Lumiose again in Pokemon #pokemonlegendsZA!!!

I'll be trying to do some drawing during my playthrough of my team members.

This is Garni, a pampered Chikorita from the countryside moving to the city and my starter for the game!

Flashback to 2022 when drew this. I had a horrible cold but spent my time playing Pokemon Legends Arceus and Monster Sanctuary.

It's now 2025 and I have a horrible cold, ready to play Pokemon Legends ZA tomorrow and been binging Aethermancer. It all comes full circle!

Gnashroom - Psychie of Terror

tw// Trypophobia

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Gnashroom, Psychie of Terror. Gnashroom is a white mushroom with a skull shaped cap, dotted with large red spots that look like eyes, along with a toothy mouth. Below is a shy looking face covering itself up with small hands. The stalk of the fungus walks around on spider-like roots. Gnashroom is a very skittish Psychie that uses its decorative cap to scare anything that would harm it. This proves so effective that even Gnashroom is terrified of its own reflection.

"Even if you, in there, isn't the real you... I wanna be with you"

Animated my Psychie characters, Tellykin (left) and Carquette (right), to PinocchioP's song 'Yozurina'.

A song about being so love sick you don't care if you're being lied to.

Just finished playing Gris! Gorgeous game, wonderful art direction, sound design, music, everything! Short but very sweet.

The ending managed to get a tear out of me too, would recommend.

Shteinie - Psychie of Temptation

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Shteinie - Psychie of Temptation Shteinie is a spirit-like creature made of a bubbling golden brew coming out of a beer stein. It has a large white beard made of bubbles and arms crossed over its chest. This Psychie is very good at convincing people to do what it wants or, in fact, convincing them to do what they always wanted to deep down. After all, everyone deserves some time to indulge themselves.

Compulsive liars but they sure can dance!

Animated Dupeling (Psychie of Deceit) alongside Kasane Teto from Liar Dancer by マサラダ ! It's such a catchy song...

Solem - Psychie of Sympathy

#PsychiesArt #creaturedesign
Solem, Psychie of Sympathy. Solem is a large four armed stone golem with opaline crystals running across its body in large stripes. It is cradling an opaline doll that appears to be a smaller version of itself. Both the doll and itself have a large scar across their chests while the larger golem has spears stuck into its back. This Psychie cradles a fragile doll and uses its body as a shield to protect it. Its tears are able to heal wounds but, in doing so, it deepens the cracks lining its body.

Hey... but what if we do really get a Mega Machamp today?

When Machamp mega evolves it becomes a disgraced brawler that uses whatever advantages it can take in battle by enhancing its body with metal cladding.

#PokemonLegendsZA #Pokemon
Illustration of a speculative Mega Machamp with 6 metallic arms, each wielding golden knuckle dusters. Machamp's usual champion belt has been replaced with a big red cross instead.
