Hello! Haven't posted in a while. I finished my Ireland-inspired Pokemon Region, and here is the full dex! #pokemon #fakemon #characterdesign #fakemonregion
frenchteapot 🌻 Commissions Open!
@frenchteapot.bsky.social
1991. How's it going? I'm an Irish artist/illustrator/couch potato who plays video games and drinks too much coffee. I am available for commissions! https://www.frenchteapot.com/ https://ko-fi.com/frenchteapot https://www.youtube.com/@french-teapot/videos
Saw some people post their entries for @frenchteapot.bsky.social's fakemon contest and figured I'd join in! These are Arcota (Ice) and Frosterna (Ice/Flying) 😊 They're based on arctic terns, which roost in a myriad of places, one of which are the Copeland Islands off the coast of Ireland.
I should actually post things publicly when I make them!!!!! I made this for @frenchteapot.bsky.social ‘s contest for her pokemon region and I went with a folktale about a pike who’s jawbone is turned into a musical instrument \o/
My entry for @frenchteapot.bsky.social Balladree contest! Can't have an Ireland inspired region without a River dance reference... so had to do Irish dancing fairies 👀 #fakemon #balladree #pokemon #characterdesign #irishdancer
No waaaaay!!! Oh my god this amazing! They are spot on, ahhhhhh my boysssss, thank you so much! 🤩 This is insanely good!
Quick sprite of Baseptet by @frenchteapot.bsky.social because it's funny and I like it [ #fanart #pixelart #pokemon #shartgart ]
Oh my god I completely forgot upload here. 🥲 I recently did a little shop restock of my Pokemon sprite and Balladree starter stickers, if anyone wants to have a look! ^u^ ko-fi.com/frenchteapot... #stickers #artist #kofi #pokemon #independantartist
This is amazing!! Oh my god they're so cute, thank you so much!! 🤩 Pixel art is hard, you're so talented!
I've been itching to get into fakemon and this might be what helps push me into getting better at art. I saw @frenchteapot.bsky.social s Taty line and I had to make sprites for them. I tried using an accurate pallet but I really wanted to properly color them. #pixelart #fakemon
Ahhh look at this!! What a great idea for a regional Cinderace. Also really love the old Sugimori watercolour effect! So glad to see other people using it. 8D
I saw @frenchteapot.bsky.social s video on a region based in Ireland. And being Irish myself I had a few ideas. Balladreen(?) Cinderace is based on a Hurler rather than a Footballer, pelting opponents with conkers it finds lying on the ground. #pokemon #fakemon #fakemonregion
Put together a quick video of my first designs for my fakemon region! ^u^ I'm really happy with how it came out! #art #video #pokemon #fakemon #characterdesign
Professor and Starter designs! 🌼 What if Pokemon was set in IRELAND?

Starter lines! Each one is based on an important animal in Irish mythology, i.e. Wolfhound, Bull & Swan. If you want to follow the development of my fakemon region, follow my insta here!: www.instagram.com/frenchs_fake... #art #pokemon #fakemon #fakemonregion #characterdesign
Meet Winnie! The player character's best friend, and daughter to an esteemed gym leader. Her dream is to become a Pokemon professor one day, so she's currently interning at the lab as an aide. One of her jobs is to evaluate your pokedex! #pokemon #fakemon #fakemonregion #characterdesign
Here are the protagonist designs! I've also set up an insta account purely for all the designs and development, so feel free to follow if you're interested in keeping up with it! ^u^ www.instagram.com/frenchs_fake... #art #pokemon #fakemon #fakemonregion #characterdesign
My Professors! We've Oake on the left (no relation to Oak XD ), and Hawthorn on the right. Husband and wife duo, researching Pokemon folklore and mythology! Prof. Hawthorn is the one who gives you your starters! #pokemon #fakemon #fakemonregion #art #characterdesign
'Kay another bird cos I've had this idea forever and I'm glad to have an excuse to fit it into my dex. #art #pokemon #fakemon #characterdesign
Route 1 bird design! Based on robins and holly, which I think is pretty evident. XD #art #pokemon #fakemon #characterdesign
Quick process of my fakemon. ^u^ Having so much fun with this. #art #pokemon #fakemon #characterdesign

Route 1 rodent! Based on the most common surname Murphy, the Fear Dearg, and obviously mice/rats. #pokemon #fakemon #characterdesign #art
Really want to experiement with the Sugimori watercolour look! Read this for the concept: french-teapot.tumblr.com/post/7969513... #art #pokemon #fakemon
Working on this big commission and have permission to post the wips! Enjoying it so much, I love drawing beautiful, flowy, feminine things. #art #artshare #commission #wip
Did it! Met Andrew Wincott. 😄 Was a bag of nerves and forgot everything I wanted to say/ask, but he was so lovely and chatted away. He very kindly signed my drawing of Raphael, which I had to quickly redraw this morning since I couldn't find the original. 🤦🏻♀️ #andrewwincott #bg3 #bg3raphael
Sooo excited about potentially meeting Andrew Wincott on Saturday. 🤩 #bg3 #bg3raphael #andrewwincott #fanart
Thought I'd post the concept sketches as well for the fakemon design challenge I did recently! #fakemon #pokemon #pokemonart #characterdesign
Now that @truegreen7.bsky.social 's new fakemon design challenge is out, I can post my entries! Critique was 100% spot on but I'm still shaking a little with how well they did. Especially Arthreaperd! Such good fun!! #pokemon #fakemon #truegreen7
I redrew more old fakemon! 😃 Watch here to see the process. #art #artshare #pokemon #fakemon #characterdesign
