im thinking it could also be a play with the past/future theming of the region and also perhaps with the slow destruction/fading of these environments due to climate change!
I really like the idea of getting all the way to the bottom of the ocean and just finding Melumyst blasting some deafening metal vocals down there. That's the kind of life I'd want to live if I were a Pokémon Edit: Wow, this comment blew up a bit. I guess a lot of people want that undersea screamo life, too
I followed this project from the start and I can't overstate how incredible I found all of it, and I'm really excited to see what you'll do next whatever it is! Keep up the greatness!
Same. Everything they've made for this region, from start to finish, has amazed me. I loved the art, the concepts, the worldbuilding, etc. I'll definitely miss it, but I appreciate his message about getting better as an artist, especially because some of it hit a little close to home lol
I know it'll be rough going forward but I hope you push forward and that the people like me who have fallen in love with all your design processes and your art can give you suffiecient support to show that we love you!
Exactly! We were here before, when armors & random pokemon concepts were being made, we followed this massive fakémon project, & we'll be here for the next ones. And, yes, so many of us love the other content you guys come up with
Are the sirens shinies meant to mirror the way that the main mermay drawings are drawn? If so that’s so cool! Love all the redesigns in this video and so happy to see the Mazah region get wrapped up, can’t wait to see what comes next. Well done!
The sirens seriously look so much better than before. I like how completely distinct they are from eachother while also clearly being related. Also, I love how the shinies reference the sepia tone of your Mermay Art (that's my guess anyways)
I won’t lie, mermay is definitely one of my absolute favorite series from you and to hear you’re wanting to make an enigmorph centered monster collecting game-series is so exciting to me! I can’t wait to see what you do with that! ❤
I’m loving how much of your new designs look more “floaty” and less stiff. I really noticed it especially in the sirens redesign. I have been on the journey from the Mazah Pokédex ever since it’s inception so I’m happy to see it finally done
I'm going to miss the Mazah region so much! I used to watch it from when the starters episode came out and by the time a year had passed, I watched every episode over and over and you inspired me to create my own fakemon region and I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into this, since you led me to starting my art back up, it really makes me sad to see it's ending but thank you for all you've given me, for all you've given us, we appreciate you Jack, Goodbye Mazah
Having been here since the beginning with the starters, I just want to say it's been a blast watching Subjectively create not just the Mazah region, but define more of themself as a channel altogether. The art you produce, the info and fun you share with your audience have drawn in such a wonderful community, and I'm proud to say I'm part of it. Thank you Jack for the awesome region, can't wait to see what you bring next. And I'll be checking the untamed project for more info
Mad that the maza region era has been going on for so long, and that it’s finally come to a close! When you released the first video I had no idea it would turn into the behemoth project that it is, but I’m so glad it did. There’s something to be said about long, steady projects that we can all watch grow and pour our love into, but I’m also glad to be seeing it finally finished. It’s such a relief to get to the end of a project, and to look back at it happy with what you’ve created. I’m SOOO excited to see what concepts you jump onto next, apoctober is a story I’ve been wanting to see more of and has really hooked me, but I know that whatever challenge you take on next is gonna be a creative feast, I can’t wait!!
after 3 years of loving this region. it finally being over doesn’t make me sad like i thought it would. i feel proud? yknow despite not doing anything and just watching. it’s a great feeling. thank you for the last 3 years of efforts
I wished that there was more that could be done with this but I just have to accept that this is over but of course we shouldn't be sad that it's over. We should be happy and grateful that it happened. Your deep dives while making these has helped me and so many others grow as artists and while you might not make any region I hope you continue to do Pokemon and change and inspire us like you did over these past few years
The Maza region project started as I made a lot of major changes in my life, and now as I move into a new section of my life, subjectively is too. Its been wonderful to watch this project grow for the past few years.
I really appreciate the slight change you made to maizmen's redesign, and while I still prefer the og, this is definitely a LOT better (personally) to look at compared to the version you made last time with the brown stalk. The yellow/cream colour fits a lot more here and isn't jarring to look at, will happily use this on my team! Been following this for years now and while I probably won't watch much else on your channel until you make a possible 2nd fakemon region, or just make another video on a game I like, I will pop back here every now and then. Also as someone who is doing art at a higher lvl in college, eventually university, watching this series has genuinely made me a better artist imo, as well as watching some of your other videos on 'overdesigning characters' or 'creating strong creature designs'. Looking forward to what you do next, and thank you for making some of the best looking (and real looking) fakemon on the site. 👍
Stunning edits, Jack! Thankful for everything you've done for the Mazah region. It's how I discovered the channel. I can't wait to see what direction you take the channel!
I've been with you since before the start of the Maza series and although I'm sad to see it come to an end, I'm so happy to have the old videos to look back on and enjoy again. I'm excited to see what you guys do next, but I'm sure I'll love every moment! I hope to see some of the old subjectively crew come back for a video or two!!
The end of an era, very bittersweet, but you should be so proud of the work you've done and how far you've come along as an artist. It's so incredibly admirable.
Jack, this has been some of the most inspirational and funny enough educational content I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time. I can’t thank you enough for this series of content, and while I hate to see this end, I cannot wait to see what’s to come!
I hope that you are encouraged by your work! A few friends and I have been following your channel since the beginning of this series and we are all in agreement that you have nailed the pokemon art style better than any other artist we've seen. Honestly, better than the pokemon team themselves with some of their designs which is crazy. Kudos to Subjectively.
thank you so much for this amazing adventure!!! it's been such a blast seeing a new Mazah video in my notifications, and i've learned so much about not just Pokémon designs, but character designs in general! thank you guys so much for everything so far, and good luck going forward!! i can't wait to see what you do next!!!
please keep doing content (not necessarily pokemon, just in general) like this alongside your monthly challenge series (WHICH I LOVE)!! i love your creative process, your designs, your input and ideas. it's been prevalent in this series, in the league of legends series, in all of the videos that i've enjoyed!
I can’t believe this series is over after three years! I’ve been watching this project develop since you made your first drafts for the starters, before you even planned for this to be a full region!
Man I remember when the sirens were first being posted with Mermay... It's incredible to see how far you guys have come! Looking forward to whatever comes next!
Mazah was my introduction to your channel, it's been a great 3 years with incredible artwork, I miss it but happy to see you move onto bigger and better things with you guys's channel!
It's been a real treat to watch this project grow and change over the years, and I couldn't be more grateful for all the help and advice that came along the way. Congratulations on hitting the finish line!
I’ve been following along for almost 3 years now. Since the lilorina video’s debut. It so awesome to see how far you’ve come as an artist. This series is what inspired me to start drawing. It’s a bit of a bittersweet feeling seeing it end but I’m excited to see what you’ve got in store for the future!
I’m in the middle of the video but I have to say the ghost underwater lady line is so phenomal such a considerable upgrade. Was saying wow audibly when I saw the designs
Damn 3 years... 3 years ago I was sitting at a burger king and your starter video popped up. I'd only seen your character design video before that and now I'm a big fan of the channel. You've taught me a lot about art and character designs. I'm really excited to see where the channel goes next.
I LOVE the siren redesigns, as someone who, admittedly, didn't watch the original Mermay videos, when I saw their designs on other videos, their concepts didn't read to me at all. All I got was "Oh, they're vaguely otherworldly and alien but they're from the ocean"
I'm absolutely in love with your work on Mazah. I'm from Mexico and I'm thoroughly impressed that you can keep cultural consistency while creating designs that would definitely fit in the world of Pokémon. Can't wait to see more, and if GF ever decides to make a Mexican or Mesoamerican region (which I think they eventually will, due to all the mythology, culture, and history they can borrow from), I really hope they hire you.
I’ve been following this series ever since the first starter video, and man I just have to say thanks! This has been a joy to follow! Seeing you develop as an artist while once a while getting nuggets of a fan made pokemon region has just been incredible. What you’ve create here is an incredible collection of character designs and I really think you deserve to take a moment and soak in the praise, while you take a step back look back on what you’ve accomplished! Can’t wait for the next chapter of this channel!
What an amazing note to end this era on!! It’s like a bittersweet farewell to one of my favorite chapters! I also can’t wait to see what the future holds for this channel ❤
Thankyou so much for making this region for all of us to see. This by far is my favorite Fakemon region of all time, and the videos you made of your processes helped me learn how to design Fakemon too. I really do think I have learned so much along with you. While it is sad to see the Pokedex finished for good, I am excited to see where we go next. Again, thankyou so much.❤
I've been watching since around the time this whole thing started, and man am I glad I stuck around. This entire series has inspired me to branch out of my artist comfort zone, learning and trying new things along the way, thanks for the awesome ride and I look forward to whatever you do next!
Having been here since pre-mazah on this channel and being a fan and being so excited every time a new Mazah video came out and having since started to make my own fakemon region(with an artist friends help) I feel as though an amazing chapter has come to a fitting close. While I'm sure everyone would love for there to be more Mazah or Fakemon region videos I'm certain that anything that Jack and Clair make in the future will be amazing, informative, entertaining and all around brilliant. Thank you so much for giving pokemon fans, artists, and creatives like myself something to inspire us. Cannot wait to see what comes next, and hopefully, one day, I can share my creativity with people and inspire and entertain them in even a small semblance of what you have done
I LOVE the changes you've made in this video, they're gorgeous! Thanks so much for bringing us along on the Mazah region journey with you these past few years, it's been so lovely -- and very inspiring. I look forward to seeing what new things will be coming to the channel in the future.
I've been following this series since the first drafts of the starters, doing all the monthly challenges alongside the channel, even making my own fakemon, and its so very sad to see it go. Thank you, for inspiring me and so many others to learn and grow their art. I wish you the best in whatever direction you choose to take your channel.
It's not often that I follow something since the very beginning so Im proud to say I've been here since the first video. It's absolutely crazy to see this project end and it's even crazier to be completely happy with every single design! This is the type of stuff that brings back my love of pokemon! Honestly this is my favorite pokemon region ever, including the main games. I realy can imagine myself using every pokemon in my team wich I can't say for even my favourite's like platinum's, emerald's and black's pokedex! I finaly just want to say thank you for making something to look forward for over 3 years and thank you for making some of my favourite pokemon/creature design's ever!
I love all the changes shown in this video! Chespika looks like such a cute troublemaker that I would love to have on my team! Liloriña’s evolutions I don’t have much to say, but I love the slight personality shifts for them (the moody teen and the red-handed killer definitely tell a story of an “entitled” character resorting to very drastic measures, but that’s just my take). And the sirens! Absolutely love what you’ve done with the sirens! Younger me would be so insane over them, let me tell you. My guess for why you chose a constant sepia color palette for the shinies is maybe old pictures? Before colored pictures were a thing, people would only have grainy black-and-white or sepia pictures, and maybe the shinies nod to these old-timey pictures that started confirming oral tales of these pokemon which were at first dismissed by skeptics. That’s my guess on the siren shinies, at least.
I’m part of the group of people that have been following this channel’s journey through making the Mazah region and it’s many Pokémon inhabitants. It’s been incredible watching you develop compelling designs and expanding on those designs for these past three years. In fact, I have recently picked up art thanks in part to you and your channel. For that, I must thank you
Thank you so much for this amazing series, it’s been such a joy to watch your art evolve and improve. How you’ve conveyed intent and feeling in your designs has informed my growth as an artist so much. I’m so excited to see what comes next for subjectively！
This has been my FAVORITE thing to keep up with on all of RUclips. I would always wake up, make breakfast before work, and watch the newest Mazah region update video. It was a weekly ritual for me. And fantasizing about what my team would be if there was ever a game. Seeing this series come to a conclusion is very sad for me, but as an artist, i 100% understand the need to put it to rest and move on. Knowing the fan game is coming, and will provide an eternal life to this idea, brings me lots of joy. Thank you for having such a brilliant mind, and for creating this amazing region. I cant wait to continue to support you with your future creations!!
It’s wild how much this region and channel has meant to me and how much it’s changed over the years, Jack, Claire Thankyou so much for all your work I can’t wait to see where you’ll take us next love the knowledge the wisdom and everything else you impart
First, congrats on wrapping up such a beloved project! What an incredible feat to have pulled off alongside your community; I know you’re going to miss the Mazah region but the feeling of completing an endeavor as ambitious as this must feel absolutely incredible too! I think you nailed these last final designs, and Melumist was a particular standout of proof of your growth! Congrats again to you and the channel again and best of luck moving forward with your new ambitions!!!
i was so eeeeh on the sirens before but now im OBSESSED i wanna see the pokemon movie about ash and friends uncovering their mysteries lmao im excited to see how the channel evolves along with the art you guys make!!!
The first mazah region video came out on my 15th birthday, and this series has ended right after I’ve graduated high school. This series has been very close to me and I’ve been closely following it since the first video and while it’s sad to see it go all good things must come to an end. Thank you for this wonderful series and all the beautiful designs you’ve given us over the years. ❤
incredibly excited to see that new collectible monster concept you teased! it’ll be super interesting to see how your study of what makes Pokémon designs appealing translates into making an equally appealing but distinct thing of your own. again, can’t wait to see it!
It’s been an incredible journey, and it’s bittersweet for it to end, but I’m sure what comes next from Subjectively will be absolutely incredible, but that’s just my..subjective opinion 😉✨
I remember watching the first videos on the fan region over 3 years ago, and I’m still here! And let me just say that this entire project Is just amazing and has been fascinating to me this entire time!
I actually loved all of these. Really glad you iterated more on Melamuse, it turned out awesome! And the ghost line shinies... Oh man, they look beautiful.
Well dang. Mazah's really ending now. It's been a wonderful journey! I started watching this series with the Super Self Indulgent Smaugust videos. And I first commented on the redesigns for Peroxotal. It was so much fun watching you draw Fakemon in an official manner, and watch your style evolve over the course of three to four years! I also love how proud yet humble you are about your art. You make good points about improving your skills and being open to others' opinions. This is something that I've learned when I work on my RUclips videos. Even if they weren't related to art or my Fakemon region Erblin, I got to learn how to handle my videos and make them palpable for everybody else. Before these critiques, I had text dialogue that was too fast to read properly. So it's important for everyone to try and listen to our fans and get another perspective on how we can draw art pieces or edit videos! I'm still working on Erblin today. And even though I'm hard on myself and get easily burnt out, watching and learning from others gets me excited to create things! And I have to thank you Jack for being one of those artists who gave me not only inspiration to create, but also motivation! Oh! Sepia sirens? Argyle Finch themed posts were colored in a sepia style. That's a big reference! I like it!
This channel has been one of my greatest inspirations and has taught me so much about art, especially through the Mazah region im sad and happy it's done, and i can't wait to see how subjectively grows and changes.
I started watching this channel before the mazah region project started, and I'm going to be sticking around far after it as well. I love all you're current content, but I started following this channel because the art was wonderful and both Jack and Clair having the most charming personalities, and changing what you're focusing on isn't going to change those things!! I'm exited to see where you're going next, and good luck with all that :) (loved all the designs this episode too btw aha)
The Mazah project is how I found your channel, so I am a little sad that it is over, but I am also excited and happy that you are happy with it and that one day it will be a playable game for all fans to enjoy and that really is a reason to celebrate, so congratulations on finishing your mazah region pokedex! ❤❤ I can't wait to see what is to come in the future of your channel
I absolutely adored the developments of the mazah region from the start and this was a lovely conclusion. As part of the contrast it might be fun to see you do some designs that could fit into other beloved series but with lower stakes like digimon, they can just literally be anything from over designed to under designed. A sonic OC would be interesting but you would end up getting a lot of that fanbase, for better or worse. I think it would be interesting to see you approach environment design from a character design perspective. My guess for sepia is that is how their depictions are in universe, as the locals have either sketched them out with primitive art supplies or they have just recently gotten film and so the pictures are in sepia, I'd assume the latter though as berries for colourful pigments would be quite an early development for artists. (which thinking about it would make for an amazing shiny design, like cave/ruins painting colour palette)
I absolutely LOVE the new yakina (oh good idk how to spell it). The redesign is FANTASTIC and you have truly demonstrated a clear thought process in the redesign approach. Stoked for what comes next with Subjectively! Mazah is of course amazing, but it was the art talent that realized it, and you all are only getting better and better!
It has truly been wonderful to be a part of this journey in creating the mazah dex. I really can't wait to play the game and experience all of what the mazah region has to offer.
Love the whole region, huge fan of all of these redesigns, it breathes so much more life into each pokemon that they go from just some pokemon I would never choose, to ones I would absolutely use in gameplay. The Melu quartet changes I think are my favourite, before this, I didn't even notice the deep see creature mimic on Melumist, but now because it's so visible and clear it's 100% my favourite out of the 4! Also good luck on your future youtube endeavours, big fan of all the freakazoid creatures so anytime those appear I'll be watchin' 'em
why an amazing project to have watched over the course of a few years! congratulations on finishing it and i’m excited to see what’s next for the channel!
CONGRATS ON FINISHING THE SERIES!!! This has been an absolute blast to watch from beginning to end, and I can't wait to play the fangame when it's finished!!
I enjoy many of the changes of these poke'mon and I can't wait to play with them when the game comes out, with the pokedex done I do hope that the game will be release sooner then later. I must say I never saw anything wrong with Chispeka oldest/newest design but I do think that this gives more energy to the pose and overall shows off it's cute but tough pokemon design you were going for, and do hope to have in my party at sometime while playing. the Lilorina line while not my favorite, I do love the changes that were done that makes it feel so much better and I feel it will be a cool pokemon to fight when we battle Valentina. The sirens are overall a nice change I like the changes done to Melumyst, and Melumourn they look so much better. Melumaunder is great but I really like the first design that you did. it was in my opinion much better then the final look that you desided, although it's still much better then the original version, and It might very well be my new favorite of the sirens. Melumuse was my favorite and very well might still be, I still think the original design was perfect. although unlike Melumaunder I do think your final design was the best out of all the different version that you created. there were aspects I like from the early drafts but this final version still keeps some of the features I loved about the original design. I do look forward to seeing this new capture monster seires you plan on making, as well as any more new pokemon designs that you might be inspire to make despite the fact you plan on making another region. I do hope that within the game we do get to battle an NPC of you and Claire using your favorite pokemon from the Maza region, maybe the final fight like Red was is pokemon gold and silver.
I can't believe I've been watching your channel for years now! I loved your content before the Mazah region and I am looking forward to following the amazing projects you tackle next.
i've loved the mazah series, its helped me so much with my own character design, and while its bittersweet to see it finished, i cant wait to see whats next!!
Congrats on officially finish the mazah region!!! I hope you create a video where you introduce all of them again in a long video like "Introducing the Mazah region pokedex" or something.
YEAAAHH!!!! SO HAPPY ANJD PROUD!!!!! you guys are so inspirational to me. after 2 decades of trying, youve finally given me the drive (and skill!) to finish my own dex. only 5 designs left for me!!!! :D
I believe the sepia filter on the Siren shinies reflects the images in Argyle Finch's journal - faded colours to match the 1950s ish aesthetic of the old sailor's encounters drawn out at the same time as the sirens.
Absolutely love the changes on Mayzmen; I think it's the dimensionality in the arms that's made the big difference, but I also like that each of the faces has its own bit of real-estate
Make Malumyst‘s head thorns facing the other direction, to its back so that it looks more like a Mohawk and also follows the logic of how shells grow (they don’t face to the front but grow „out“). I also think you should rework its tail. I love it but it could be reinforced
So glad you made these redesigns, I'm glad you gave one of my favorite early pokemon (the ghosts) some of the final love. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here!
16:22 I love melumourn!! The details on the coral legs are amazing! I love the pink tint on them!! 19:41 I'm surprised melumist was your least favorite! I love how insect like it is with the fake eyes. A deep sea pokemon is such a cool idea!! Oooh ok yes I love the new silhouette!! It looks so much like a giant maw of a creature! Like seeing a Deep sea gyarados mouth! I love it!! This would be terrifying to see!! 22:05 I love the body shape here!! The kelp like hair of the final design is so good!! The sepia toned shinies are really fun too. A lot of people are saying it's to mimic the merman story which might be true but they also look dried out. As if human contact injured them somehow. Either way they look cool!! I miss the chunky feel of all of them but overall the design decisions you made are so cool. I love all the redesigns in this video. I cant believe you're done with this region!! What a ride! I learned so much!! Looking forward to whatever else you guys come up with!
Long time fan of the channel here, been a fan since you made that Monster Hunter video way back in like 2019 I'm excited to see what you get up to next and the changes to the channel I would love to see your take on designing a monster for Monster Hunter, it'd be an interesting challenge especially since the thought process behind each monster is so different from Pokémon
I would still make some very minor adjustments to Lilorina, but the evolutions are absolutely amazing now, and a huge improvement. Definitely a mon that I would love to have on my team. Chispeka looks amazing now! It was pretty bland before, mainly due to the pose and lack of expressiveness, but now I can confidently say that I like it more than any of the official pika-clones. Melumourn (love the new name btw) I think I like slightly less. The old hat was more vague, blending hat and coral well, and I don't think the new one reads as both too well. Aside from that, there are some small things I like better, and some I like less, but overall my opinion changed less than the design itself. Melumonder is a huge improvement. It went from being somewhat forgettable (especially for a rare pokemon) to one of my favorites. That being said, if you stuck with the first of the drafts in this video, it would be my number 1 for this region. I absolutely love it 17:39 Melumyst's new design is so damn cool, I 100% approve. The silhouette is just perfection, and it really delivers on the ideas behind it. Melumuse... This was the one I was most concerned about changing, and while most of the new design I'm pretty happy with, I really think the decision to make the leg/hair parts wavy was an awful idea. I think it loses a lot of the strong shapes, feels a lot less held together and blobby (which, I guess could be a good thing for a water based mon, but unbalances the design). I really felt like it hit the perfect balance of being just vague enough to be super interesting before, and now it just reads as a humanoid with some wavy bits connecting the hair and feet. Before those two parts looked united, and I couldn't tell where one part ended and the other began, but breaking up the line connecting those two things into a wave just destroys the illusion imo. That's my one complaint with it. For how concerned I was about changed so many different fakemon in these two parts (Which just shows how emotionally connected I was to your amazing designs), There was very little that I didn't like, and a ton that got massively improved. And thanks for making me a better artist myself through this whole process, while entertaining me with your unique vision as an artist and storyteller.
What an incredible journey! This was a fantastic journey to follow. I noticed two details that stunned me. First, the gap in the silhouette of Melumyst between its head and back. That pushed the design so much into incomprehensible territory without making it unapproachable. The second was the joy I felt when Melumuse became the new Hatsune Miku with “hastune miku, you are looking so waterfall today” energy. The definition of hair, legs, and the connection made via arcane river imagery is captivating. Of course, I could rewatch this and come up with many more things that struck a chord with me. But congratulations on this incredible accomplishment! I look forward to seeing what comes next.
Gotta tell you right now, Chespika’s redesign made it my signature Pokémon. Fits all the category’s I love in Pokémon designs and would for sure be the main guy I use on my team. Great work!
Yoronaqua went from a cool concept with a rather messy execution to "Step on me skeleton mommie! Thick thighs end lives!" I mean come on, the bone white colour on her legs make it look like she's wearing thigh highs.
I was kind of dreading this video as someone who liked all the original designs, but you really managed to make all seven of them HUGE improvements and win me over. I kind of miss a few of the ideas on the intermediate redesigns for Melumourn and Melumuse, but regardless I'm super happy with these redesigns having happened.
I will always miss the möbius strip melumuse because the optical illusion stuff was so cool!! Sorta Escher-esque. But, I like the final version and I think it works well for what’s required of it.
If your region was an official pokemon region then it was easily be my favorite one since I actually like every pokemon in this dex. Everything feels nicely and cleverly designed and feeling bittersweet to see it come to an end. I remember the staters video and feeling excited when you announced you were going to make your pokedex.
THE GHOST LINE'S LOOKIN WAY BETTER WITH THIS ONE
Yaquina and yoronaqua look good but I think og liloriña looked better
@@Bodoque-yt3px i think the og felt a little too generic personally. i feel like the new design leans into its themes a bit better
@@everfluctuating ehhh true but the new one looks a tad over-designed to me imo
Now to address the elephant,
Would you?
@@Bodoque-yt3pxover-design is not a thing in pokemon tho
I'm hoping the Sepia is a callback to the Mermay challenge, and how a lot of the images for Argyle's logs had a sepia tone to them
It's gotta be right?
im thinking it could also be a play with the past/future theming of the region and also perhaps with the slow destruction/fading of these environments due to climate change!
Ding ding ding!
That was my thought, too!
Me too
By redesigning Uranaqua with thighs, Jack has officially made the region’s thirst trap Pokémon.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
melumuse was bent over from the beggining
What do you mean? Gastronaut has literally been there from the very beginning
I mean, she was already a thirst trap in a way.
I really like the idea of getting all the way to the bottom of the ocean and just finding Melumyst blasting some deafening metal vocals down there. That's the kind of life I'd want to live if I were a Pokémon
Edit: Wow, this comment blew up a bit. I guess a lot of people want that undersea screamo life, too
Imagine going down there and she's just dueting with Darwin from TawoG singing "without you" lmao
LMAO
Thats sad
For those wondering,the shinies of the sirens are based on the mermay chalange where each piece has that kind of old photo look
i had the idea of decaying ;p
I followed this project from the start and I can't overstate how incredible I found all of it, and I'm really excited to see what you'll do next whatever it is! Keep up the greatness!
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Me too
Same. Everything they've made for this region, from start to finish, has amazed me. I loved the art, the concepts, the worldbuilding, etc. I'll definitely miss it, but I appreciate his message about getting better as an artist, especially because some of it hit a little close to home lol
I know it'll be rough going forward but I hope you push forward and that the people like me who have fallen in love with all your design processes and your art can give you suffiecient support to show that we love you!
Thanks so much!! That's very encouraging to hear
@@Subjectively l ask a question
@@SubjectivelyHey just to let you know, the discord link in the description is expired!
Exactly! We were here before, when armors & random pokemon concepts were being made, we followed this massive fakémon project, & we'll be here for the next ones.
And, yes, so many of us love the other content you guys come up with
I didn't like Chespika, now I want a plushie of it
Same
Is rude!
@@johanvanrooyen-yw5rfwhat's rude?
Is him ArthurPC!
@@johanvanrooyen-yw5rf I'm sorry but you're being very confusing right now
Are the sirens shinies meant to mirror the way that the main mermay drawings are drawn? If so that’s so cool! Love all the redesigns in this video and so happy to see the Mazah region get wrapped up, can’t wait to see what comes next. Well done!
I think you figured it out!
My initial thought was that this was meant to be to represent the pollution and destruction of ocean environments, but that makes more sense!
@@IronCrown It could be a dual metaphor, given both make perfect sense
They're very clearly references to the other Mermay images he drew.
The sirens seriously look so much better than before. I like how completely distinct they are from eachother while also clearly being related. Also, I love how the shinies reference the sepia tone of your Mermay Art (that's my guess anyways)
I won’t lie, mermay is definitely one of my absolute favorite series from you and to hear you’re wanting to make an enigmorph centered monster collecting game-series is so exciting to me! I can’t wait to see what you do with that! ❤
Yay, thank you! We’re excited too!
I’m loving how much of your new designs look more “floaty” and less stiff. I really noticed it especially in the sirens redesign. I have been on the journey from the Mazah Pokédex ever since it’s inception so I’m happy to see it finally done
I'm going to miss the Mazah region so much! I used to watch it from when the starters episode came out and by the time a year had passed, I watched every episode over and over and you inspired me to create my own fakemon region and I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into this, since you led me to starting my art back up, it really makes me sad to see it's ending but thank you for all you've given me, for all you've given us, we appreciate you Jack, Goodbye Mazah
Same here!
Having been here since the beginning with the starters, I just want to say it's been a blast watching Subjectively create not just the Mazah region, but define more of themself as a channel altogether. The art you produce, the info and fun you share with your audience have drawn in such a wonderful community, and I'm proud to say I'm part of it. Thank you Jack for the awesome region, can't wait to see what you bring next. And I'll be checking the untamed project for more info
Mad that the maza region era has been going on for so long, and that it’s finally come to a close! When you released the first video I had no idea it would turn into the behemoth project that it is, but I’m so glad it did. There’s something to be said about long, steady projects that we can all watch grow and pour our love into, but I’m also glad to be seeing it finally finished. It’s such a relief to get to the end of a project, and to look back at it happy with what you’ve created. I’m SOOO excited to see what concepts you jump onto next, apoctober is a story I’ve been wanting to see more of and has really hooked me, but I know that whatever challenge you take on next is gonna be a creative feast, I can’t wait!!
after 3 years of loving this region. it finally being over doesn’t make me sad like i thought it would. i feel proud? yknow despite not doing anything and just watching. it’s a great feeling. thank you for the last 3 years of efforts
I wished that there was more that could be done with this but I just have to accept that this is over but of course we shouldn't be sad that it's over. We should be happy and grateful that it happened. Your deep dives while making these has helped me and so many others grow as artists and while you might not make any region I hope you continue to do Pokemon and change and inspire us like you did over these past few years
The Maza region project started as I made a lot of major changes in my life, and now as I move into a new section of my life, subjectively is too. Its been wonderful to watch this project grow for the past few years.
I really appreciate the slight change you made to maizmen's redesign, and while I still prefer the og, this is definitely a LOT better (personally) to look at compared to the version you made last time with the brown stalk. The yellow/cream colour fits a lot more here and isn't jarring to look at, will happily use this on my team!
Been following this for years now and while I probably won't watch much else on your channel until you make a possible 2nd fakemon region, or just make another video on a game I like, I will pop back here every now and then.
Also as someone who is doing art at a higher lvl in college, eventually university, watching this series has genuinely made me a better artist imo, as well as watching some of your other videos on 'overdesigning characters' or 'creating strong creature designs'. Looking forward to what you do next, and thank you for making some of the best looking (and real looking) fakemon on the site.
👍
Stunning edits, Jack!
Thankful for everything you've done for the Mazah region. It's how I discovered the channel.
I can't wait to see what direction you take the channel!
I've been with you since before the start of the Maza series and although I'm sad to see it come to an end, I'm so happy to have the old videos to look back on and enjoy again. I'm excited to see what you guys do next, but I'm sure I'll love every moment! I hope to see some of the old subjectively crew come back for a video or two!!
The end of an era, very bittersweet, but you should be so proud of the work you've done and how far you've come along as an artist. It's so incredibly admirable.
Jack, this has been some of the most inspirational and funny enough educational content I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time. I can’t thank you enough for this series of content, and while I hate to see this end, I cannot wait to see what’s to come!
I absolutely love Yoronaqa's new design and how expressive it looks, as well as the way the dress is cut reminding me of ghostly fire. Amazing job!
I hope that you are encouraged by your work! A few friends and I have been following your channel since the beginning of this series and we are all in agreement that you have nailed the pokemon art style better than any other artist we've seen. Honestly, better than the pokemon team themselves with some of their designs which is crazy. Kudos to Subjectively.
thank you so much for this amazing adventure!!! it's been such a blast seeing a new Mazah video in my notifications, and i've learned so much about not just Pokémon designs, but character designs in general!
thank you guys so much for everything so far, and good luck going forward!! i can't wait to see what you do next!!!
please keep doing content (not necessarily pokemon, just in general) like this alongside your monthly challenge series (WHICH I LOVE)!! i love your creative process, your designs, your input and ideas. it's been prevalent in this series, in the league of legends series, in all of the videos that i've enjoyed!
I can’t believe this series is over after three years! I’ve been watching this project develop since you made your first drafts for the starters, before you even planned for this to be a full region!
Man I remember when the sirens were first being posted with Mermay... It's incredible to see how far you guys have come! Looking forward to whatever comes next!
Mazah was my introduction to your channel, it's been a great 3 years with incredible artwork, I miss it but happy to see you move onto bigger and better things with you guys's channel!
Congrats on ending this giant project! Could you maybe upload a video just showing the Pokémon and their dex entries in order?
It's been a real treat to watch this project grow and change over the years, and I couldn't be more grateful for all the help and advice that came along the way. Congratulations on hitting the finish line!
I’ve been following along for almost 3 years now. Since the lilorina video’s debut. It so awesome to see how far you’ve come as an artist. This series is what inspired me to start drawing. It’s a bit of a bittersweet feeling seeing it end but I’m excited to see what you’ve got in store for the future!
I’m in the middle of the video but I have to say the ghost underwater lady line is so phenomal such a considerable upgrade. Was saying wow audibly when I saw the designs
Damn 3 years... 3 years ago I was sitting at a burger king and your starter video popped up. I'd only seen your character design video before that and now I'm a big fan of the channel. You've taught me a lot about art and character designs. I'm really excited to see where the channel goes next.
I LOVE the siren redesigns, as someone who, admittedly, didn't watch the original Mermay videos, when I saw their designs on other videos, their concepts didn't read to me at all. All I got was "Oh, they're vaguely otherworldly and alien but they're from the ocean"
I'm absolutely in love with your work on Mazah. I'm from Mexico and I'm thoroughly impressed that you can keep cultural consistency while creating designs that would definitely fit in the world of Pokémon.
Can't wait to see more, and if GF ever decides to make a Mexican or Mesoamerican region (which I think they eventually will, due to all the mythology, culture, and history they can borrow from), I really hope they hire you.
I’ve been following this series ever since the first starter video, and man I just have to say thanks! This has been a joy to follow! Seeing you develop as an artist while once a while getting nuggets of a fan made pokemon region has just been incredible. What you’ve create here is an incredible collection of character designs and I really think you deserve to take a moment and soak in the praise, while you take a step back look back on what you’ve accomplished! Can’t wait for the next chapter of this channel!
What an amazing note to end this era on!! It’s like a bittersweet farewell to one of my favorite chapters! I also can’t wait to see what the future holds for this channel ❤
Thankyou so much for making this region for all of us to see. This by far is my favorite Fakemon region of all time, and the videos you made of your processes helped me learn how to design Fakemon too. I really do think I have learned so much along with you. While it is sad to see the Pokedex finished for good, I am excited to see where we go next. Again, thankyou so much.❤
I've been watching since around the time this whole thing started, and man am I glad I stuck around. This entire series has inspired me to branch out of my artist comfort zone, learning and trying new things along the way, thanks for the awesome ride and I look forward to whatever you do next!
Having been here since pre-mazah on this channel and being a fan and being so excited every time a new Mazah video came out and having since started to make my own fakemon region(with an artist friends help) I feel as though an amazing chapter has come to a fitting close.
While I'm sure everyone would love for there to be more Mazah or Fakemon region videos I'm certain that anything that Jack and Clair make in the future will be amazing, informative, entertaining and all around brilliant.
Thank you so much for giving pokemon fans, artists, and creatives like myself something to inspire us.
Cannot wait to see what comes next, and hopefully, one day, I can share my creativity with people and inspire and entertain them in even a small semblance of what you have done
I LOVE the changes you've made in this video, they're gorgeous! Thanks so much for bringing us along on the Mazah region journey with you these past few years, it's been so lovely -- and very inspiring. I look forward to seeing what new things will be coming to the channel in the future.
I've been following this series since the first drafts of the starters, doing all the monthly challenges alongside the channel, even making my own fakemon, and its so very sad to see it go. Thank you, for inspiring me and so many others to learn and grow their art. I wish you the best in whatever direction you choose to take your channel.
It's not often that I follow something since the very beginning so Im proud to say I've been here since the first video. It's absolutely crazy to see this project end and it's even crazier to be completely happy with every single design! This is the type of stuff that brings back my love of pokemon! Honestly this is my favorite pokemon region ever, including the main games. I realy can imagine myself using every pokemon in my team wich I can't say for even my favourite's like platinum's, emerald's and black's pokedex! I finaly just want to say thank you for making something to look forward for over 3 years and thank you for making some of my favourite pokemon/creature design's ever!
I love all the changes shown in this video! Chespika looks like such a cute troublemaker that I would love to have on my team! Liloriña’s evolutions I don’t have much to say, but I love the slight personality shifts for them (the moody teen and the red-handed killer definitely tell a story of an “entitled” character resorting to very drastic measures, but that’s just my take).
And the sirens! Absolutely love what you’ve done with the sirens! Younger me would be so insane over them, let me tell you. My guess for why you chose a constant sepia color palette for the shinies is maybe old pictures? Before colored pictures were a thing, people would only have grainy black-and-white or sepia pictures, and maybe the shinies nod to these old-timey pictures that started confirming oral tales of these pokemon which were at first dismissed by skeptics. That’s my guess on the siren shinies, at least.
The water/ghost line is literally too cool. Incredible designs and you're channel taught me the importance of silhouette design so thank you!!!
been around for the mazah region since the OG starter video
I’m part of the group of people that have been following this channel’s journey through making the Mazah region and it’s many Pokémon inhabitants. It’s been incredible watching you develop compelling designs and expanding on those designs for these past three years. In fact, I have recently picked up art thanks in part to you and your channel. For that, I must thank you
Totally on board for changes! New video subjects, new video editing styles, whatever y’all got in store I’m ready for it.
Thank you so much for this amazing series, it’s been such a joy to watch your art evolve and improve. How you’ve conveyed intent and feeling in your designs has informed my growth as an artist so much. I’m so excited to see what comes next for subjectively！
This has been my FAVORITE thing to keep up with on all of RUclips. I would always wake up, make breakfast before work, and watch the newest Mazah region update video. It was a weekly ritual for me. And fantasizing about what my team would be if there was ever a game.
Seeing this series come to a conclusion is very sad for me, but as an artist, i 100% understand the need to put it to rest and move on. Knowing the fan game is coming, and will provide an eternal life to this idea, brings me lots of joy.
Thank you for having such a brilliant mind, and for creating this amazing region. I cant wait to continue to support you with your future creations!!
It’s wild how much this region and channel has meant to me and how much it’s changed over the years, Jack, Claire Thankyou so much for all your work I can’t wait to see where you’ll take us next love the knowledge the wisdom and everything else you impart
First, congrats on wrapping up such a beloved project! What an incredible feat to have pulled off alongside your community; I know you’re going to miss the Mazah region but the feeling of completing an endeavor as ambitious as this must feel absolutely incredible too! I think you nailed these last final designs, and Melumist was a particular standout of proof of your growth!
Congrats again to you and the channel again and best of luck moving forward with your new ambitions!!!
Thanks Bonny!!
Am i the only one that finds melumyst adorable like a shy kid at a family reunion for the first time just trying to stay out of trouble
They all look amazing! Giving Yoronaqua legs was a genius idea :D
10:45 "I always wanted it to have this pose" And some HIPS, damn!
Nickname: Thicc Mama!
i was so eeeeh on the sirens before but now im OBSESSED i wanna see the pokemon movie about ash and friends uncovering their mysteries lmao
im excited to see how the channel evolves along with the art you guys make!!!
The first mazah region video came out on my 15th birthday, and this series has ended right after I’ve graduated high school. This series has been very close to me and I’ve been closely following it since the first video and while it’s sad to see it go all good things must come to an end. Thank you for this wonderful series and all the beautiful designs you’ve given us over the years. ❤
incredibly excited to see that new collectible monster concept you teased! it’ll be super interesting to see how your study of what makes Pokémon designs appealing translates into making an equally appealing but distinct thing of your own. again, can’t wait to see it!
It’s been an incredible journey, and it’s bittersweet for it to end, but I’m sure what comes next from Subjectively will be absolutely incredible, but that’s just my..subjective opinion 😉✨
Farewell Mazah! It’s been a long and incredible journey, but I can’t wait to see what comes next!
The redesigns all look great!!
I remember watching the first videos on the fan region over 3 years ago, and I’m still here! And let me just say that this entire project Is just amazing and has been fascinating to me this entire time!
I actually loved all of these. Really glad you iterated more on Melamuse, it turned out awesome! And the ghost line shinies... Oh man, they look beautiful.
Well dang. Mazah's really ending now. It's been a wonderful journey! I started watching this series with the Super Self Indulgent Smaugust videos. And I first commented on the redesigns for Peroxotal. It was so much fun watching you draw Fakemon in an official manner, and watch your style evolve over the course of three to four years!
I also love how proud yet humble you are about your art. You make good points about improving your skills and being open to others' opinions. This is something that I've learned when I work on my RUclips videos. Even if they weren't related to art or my Fakemon region Erblin, I got to learn how to handle my videos and make them palpable for everybody else. Before these critiques, I had text dialogue that was too fast to read properly. So it's important for everyone to try and listen to our fans and get another perspective on how we can draw art pieces or edit videos!
I'm still working on Erblin today. And even though I'm hard on myself and get easily burnt out, watching and learning from others gets me excited to create things! And I have to thank you Jack for being one of those artists who gave me not only inspiration to create, but also motivation!
Oh! Sepia sirens? Argyle Finch themed posts were colored in a sepia style. That's a big reference! I like it!
This channel has been one of my greatest inspirations and has taught me so much about art, especially through the Mazah region im sad and happy it's done, and i can't wait to see how subjectively grows and changes.
It was a pleasure to follow your entire trajectory, congratulations on the project
I started watching this channel before the mazah region project started, and I'm going to be sticking around far after it as well. I love all you're current content, but I started following this channel because the art was wonderful and both Jack and Clair having the most charming personalities, and changing what you're focusing on isn't going to change those things!! I'm exited to see where you're going next, and good luck with all that :)
(loved all the designs this episode too btw aha)
The Mazah project is how I found your channel, so I am a little sad that it is over, but I am also excited and happy that you are happy with it and that one day it will be a playable game for all fans to enjoy and that really is a reason to celebrate, so congratulations on finishing your mazah region pokedex! ❤❤
I can't wait to see what is to come in the future of your channel
I wasn't a huge fan of the sirens before, but now their all some of my favorites in the region
I absolutely adored the developments of the mazah region from the start and this was a lovely conclusion.
As part of the contrast it might be fun to see you do some designs that could fit into other beloved series but with lower stakes like digimon, they can just literally be anything from over designed to under designed.
A sonic OC would be interesting but you would end up getting a lot of that fanbase, for better or worse.
I think it would be interesting to see you approach environment design from a character design perspective.
My guess for sepia is that is how their depictions are in universe, as the locals have either sketched them out with primitive art supplies or they have just recently gotten film and so the pictures are in sepia, I'd assume the latter though as berries for colourful pigments would be quite an early development for artists.
(which thinking about it would make for an amazing shiny design, like cave/ruins painting colour palette)
I absolutely LOVE the new yakina (oh good idk how to spell it). The redesign is FANTASTIC and you have truly demonstrated a clear thought process in the redesign approach.
Stoked for what comes next with Subjectively! Mazah is of course amazing, but it was the art talent that realized it, and you all are only getting better and better!
It has truly been wonderful to be a part of this journey in creating the mazah dex. I really can't wait to play the game and experience all of what the mazah region has to offer.
Love the whole region, huge fan of all of these redesigns, it breathes so much more life into each pokemon that they go from just some pokemon I would never choose, to ones I would absolutely use in gameplay. The Melu quartet changes I think are my favourite, before this, I didn't even notice the deep see creature mimic on Melumist, but now because it's so visible and clear it's 100% my favourite out of the 4! Also good luck on your future youtube endeavours, big fan of all the freakazoid creatures so anytime those appear I'll be watchin' 'em
why an amazing project to have watched over the course of a few years! congratulations on finishing it and i’m excited to see what’s next for the channel!
CONGRATS ON FINISHING THE SERIES!!! This has been an absolute blast to watch from beginning to end, and I can't wait to play the fangame when it's finished!!
I enjoy many of the changes of these poke'mon and I can't wait to play with them when the game comes out, with the pokedex done I do hope that the game will be release sooner then later. I must say I never saw anything wrong with Chispeka oldest/newest design but I do think that this gives more energy to the pose and overall shows off it's cute but tough pokemon design you were going for, and do hope to have in my party at sometime while playing. the Lilorina line while not my favorite, I do love the changes that were done that makes it feel so much better and I feel it will be a cool pokemon to fight when we battle Valentina. The sirens are overall a nice change I like the changes done to Melumyst, and Melumourn they look so much better. Melumaunder is great but I really like the first design that you did. it was in my opinion much better then the final look that you desided, although it's still much better then the original version, and It might very well be my new favorite of the sirens. Melumuse was my favorite and very well might still be, I still think the original design was perfect. although unlike Melumaunder I do think your final design was the best out of all the different version that you created. there were aspects I like from the early drafts but this final version still keeps some of the features I loved about the original design. I do look forward to seeing this new capture monster seires you plan on making, as well as any more new pokemon designs that you might be inspire to make despite the fact you plan on making another region. I do hope that within the game we do get to battle an NPC of you and Claire using your favorite pokemon from the Maza region, maybe the final fight like Red was is pokemon gold and silver.
I can't believe I've been watching your channel for years now! I loved your content before the Mazah region and I am looking forward to following the amazing projects you tackle next.
i've loved the mazah series, its helped me so much with my own character design, and while its bittersweet to see it finished, i cant wait to see whats next!!
I remember finding the first starter video years ago and I've been a fan since! excited to see how you grow from here :)
Congrats on officially finish the mazah region!!! I hope you create a video where you introduce all of them again in a long video like "Introducing the Mazah region pokedex" or something.
Lilorina line is the pokemon line that made me subscribe, and its amazing that i like their design even more with each new version!
YEAAAHH!!!! SO HAPPY ANJD PROUD!!!!! you guys are so inspirational to me. after 2 decades of trying, youve finally given me the drive (and skill!) to finish my own dex. only 5 designs left for me!!!! :D
I believe the sepia filter on the Siren shinies reflects the images in Argyle Finch's journal - faded colours to match the 1950s ish aesthetic of the old sailor's encounters drawn out at the same time as the sirens.
Absolutely love the changes on Mayzmen; I think it's the dimensionality in the arms that's made the big difference, but I also like that each of the faces has its own bit of real-estate
Make Malumyst‘s head thorns facing the other direction, to its back so that it looks more like a Mohawk and also follows the logic of how shells grow (they don’t face to the front but grow „out“). I also think you should rework its tail. I love it but it could be reinforced
I've been following the Mazah region since the start and its so amazing to see the progress and art improvement since then
So glad you made these redesigns, I'm glad you gave one of my favorite early pokemon (the ghosts) some of the final love. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here!
I've been watching since before the Mazah region and I'll still be watching after! All the best in moving forward!
16:22 I love melumourn!! The details on the coral legs are amazing! I love the pink tint on them!!
19:41 I'm surprised melumist was your least favorite! I love how insect like it is with the fake eyes. A deep sea pokemon is such a cool idea!! Oooh ok yes I love the new silhouette!! It looks so much like a giant maw of a creature! Like seeing a Deep sea gyarados mouth! I love it!! This would be terrifying to see!!
22:05 I love the body shape here!! The kelp like hair of the final design is so good!!
The sepia toned shinies are really fun too. A lot of people are saying it's to mimic the merman story which might be true but they also look dried out. As if human contact injured them somehow. Either way they look cool!! I miss the chunky feel of all of them but overall the design decisions you made are so cool. I love all the redesigns in this video. I cant believe you're done with this region!! What a ride! I learned so much!! Looking forward to whatever else you guys come up with!
Long time fan of the channel here, been a fan since you made that Monster Hunter video way back in like 2019
I'm excited to see what you get up to next and the changes to the channel
I would love to see your take on designing a monster for Monster Hunter, it'd be an interesting challenge especially since the thought process behind each monster is so different from Pokémon
I would still make some very minor adjustments to Lilorina, but the evolutions are absolutely amazing now, and a huge improvement. Definitely a mon that I would love to have on my team.
Chispeka looks amazing now! It was pretty bland before, mainly due to the pose and lack of expressiveness, but now I can confidently say that I like it more than any of the official pika-clones.
Melumourn (love the new name btw) I think I like slightly less. The old hat was more vague, blending hat and coral well, and I don't think the new one reads as both too well. Aside from that, there are some small things I like better, and some I like less, but overall my opinion changed less than the design itself.
Melumonder is a huge improvement. It went from being somewhat forgettable (especially for a rare pokemon) to one of my favorites. That being said, if you stuck with the first of the drafts in this video, it would be my number 1 for this region. I absolutely love it 17:39
Melumyst's new design is so damn cool, I 100% approve. The silhouette is just perfection, and it really delivers on the ideas behind it.
Melumuse... This was the one I was most concerned about changing, and while most of the new design I'm pretty happy with, I really think the decision to make the leg/hair parts wavy was an awful idea. I think it loses a lot of the strong shapes, feels a lot less held together and blobby (which, I guess could be a good thing for a water based mon, but unbalances the design). I really felt like it hit the perfect balance of being just vague enough to be super interesting before, and now it just reads as a humanoid with some wavy bits connecting the hair and feet. Before those two parts looked united, and I couldn't tell where one part ended and the other began, but breaking up the line connecting those two things into a wave just destroys the illusion imo. That's my one complaint with it.
For how concerned I was about changed so many different fakemon in these two parts (Which just shows how emotionally connected I was to your amazing designs), There was very little that I didn't like, and a ton that got massively improved. And thanks for making me a better artist myself through this whole process, while entertaining me with your unique vision as an artist and storyteller.
I agree on all points!
It's incredible that you guys at subjectively have straight up made a Pokemon region. You could definitely make a solid pokeclone
What an incredible journey! This was a fantastic journey to follow. I noticed two details that stunned me. First, the gap in the silhouette of Melumyst between its head and back. That pushed the design so much into incomprehensible territory without making it unapproachable. The second was the joy I felt when Melumuse became the new Hatsune Miku with “hastune miku, you are looking so waterfall today” energy. The definition of hair, legs, and the connection made via arcane river imagery is captivating.
Of course, I could rewatch this and come up with many more things that struck a chord with me. But congratulations on this incredible accomplishment! I look forward to seeing what comes next.
Gotta tell you right now, Chespika’s redesign made it my signature Pokémon. Fits all the category’s I love in Pokémon designs and would for sure be the main guy I use on my team. Great work!
for the record, i'm really enjoying the changes the channel has started going through!
Yoronaqua went from a cool concept with a rather messy execution to "Step on me skeleton mommie! Thick thighs end lives!" I mean come on, the bone white colour on her legs make it look like she's wearing thigh highs.
I was kind of dreading this video as someone who liked all the original designs, but you really managed to make all seven of them HUGE improvements and win me over. I kind of miss a few of the ideas on the intermediate redesigns for Melumourn and Melumuse, but regardless I'm super happy with these redesigns having happened.
I will always miss the möbius strip melumuse because the optical illusion stuff was so cool!! Sorta Escher-esque.
But, I like the final version and I think it works well for what’s required of it.
If your region was an official pokemon region then it was easily be my favorite one since I actually like every pokemon in this dex. Everything feels nicely and cleverly designed and feeling bittersweet to see it come to an end. I remember the staters video and feeling excited when you announced you were going to make your pokedex.
