[image description: a watercolor illustration featuring an anteater-like pokemon. It's a creature with a beige snout, a round body covered in red fur, two thin arms that end in three claws, short legs and a hollow tail that resembles an exhaust pipe. It appears to be running with it's arms spread towards the sides, while letting out a long flame of fire from it's snout. The background is minimalistic and unshaded, with an irregular pattern resembling small flames and specks of fire plastered around. The piece is framed by two black borders on the left and right sides, and two white borders on the top and bottom of the painting. on the bottom border, there's a small signature that reads "peryton fool" in all caps. end description.]

I haven’t posted my own art in a while, so here’s a zine piece I made last year for Love Letter To Unova (at @pkmnbwzine), I did Heatmor but inspired by medieval bestiary illustrations, honestly a very fun piece for a mon with a really underrated design.

The zine is free to download so you can go check it out right now if you wish to do so!

note: you can find an image id inside the alt text option for all images featured in this post.

(as an extra, here’s two of the medieval drawings that I referenced, taken from the Getty Museum Collection)
