Labor Day Construction
Timburr, Gurdurr, and Conkeldurr are here!Yes, I know Labor Day Weekend was last week, but this I basically woke up on Labor Day and said, "You know what would be a good release today?" then proceeded to work on this all week, missing Labor Day, obviously.This set will be a bit unusual. I had planned from the beginning to release this with both the cards and the scene, due to the nature of their "weapons", though it was only after...
Big Splash!
Gym Leader Marla is here!The final* Gym Leader from the Unova region is here!Based off a mix from the original design and this lovely artpiece from an artist whose name I don't know (seen above), I came up with two main outfits for her. Aside from that, the main difficulty was actually in coming up with the appropriate tanline for her, since yes, Marlon isn't actually dark, but very, very tan - but when you consider his design, his entire...
Mien Fräulein
Mienfoo and Mienshao are here!The absolute cutest Fighting-Types (Next to Machamp, of course!) are finally here.The most challenging part of this set was, as expected, Mienshao's sleeves. It should come as no surprise, given how nodes and physics work with KK, but this is the best we can do, and it's a bit smaller than I'd like, but at least the silhouette resembles the original. I increased the size of the hands to make the sleeves a...
Update #66 - Summer Sprites
Hey everyone! It's been a minute since the last update and that's mainly because I've been pretty actively relating upcoming stuff with each actual release, but I realize that doesn't help the general public, so it's time to fix that.Progress has been admittingly slow the past month and that's primarily due to the usual Summer problem: excessive heat. I'll be honest, I'd rather not be sitting in a hot room working ...
Pika Flight
Emolga is here!The "Pika" mascot of Unova, Emolga.This is a small release that I had to quickly make since the other set I was working on pretty much failed completely and I'll have to start from scratch with them. Doesn't help that it's a 3-set either. But I can elaborate on that later.Emolga is a relatively simple design, but with her I'm once again trying a slightly different body type. Her frame is a bit smaller than u...
White Dragon Princess
Gym Leader Drayda is here! Fem version, of course.There's actually very, very little fanart of genderbent Drayden to go off of - actually, all I could find was one single piece. I suppose Drayden is just too masculine for people to envision as a girl, or maybe just isn't a popular figure in general. Later-game Gym Leaders tend not to be, I guess, or maybe he just doesn't have enough spotlight in the anime to warrant any fans.So sad. L...
Fossil Week: Turtles All The Way Down
Tirtouga and Carracosta are here! Another set of revived fossils has made the shelf!The centerpiece for these two is of course the shield, which is less-sprite replicated and more original-design inspired, although I'll be honest, I wasn't going to spend days working on an exact replica. It just wouldn't be worth it. The final result looks fine though. It's also attached to the Left Hand rather than the Right Hand, only because th...
Brute Shrooms
Past Paradox Brute Bonnet is here! I'm super excited to showcase this Paradox 'mon since it came together so well. Like any release, step one is ponder the design and considering how it'll look within KK's engine itself. That's the most challenging part, really, other than the actual "making of" it itself. Before any of that, we think - think about the accessory parts; are they something that can be recreated using exi...
Fungus Among Us
Foongus and Amoonguss is here! SHROOMS :)Enjoy!
Team Plasma (Part 1)
Team Plasma Grunt Aldith is here!It's finally time for Gen 5's villainous team debut, starting with Aldith, who you may be familiar with if you've watched the Animated series. For everyone else, she's the lowest of the lowly low Plasma Grunts, but just like any other villainous teams grunts, are just as important to the backbone of their respective organizations as any.Anyways, custom Plasma badge, some simple accessory dressings ...
The Ice Mask
Gym Leader Bryci is here!Unlike the previous Gym Leader Clay, there's surprisingly very little fan art of a genderswap version of Brycen, in fact, all I could really find were about 3 pieces, maybe 4 if you include a sprite portrait. Still, it was enough to build an idea around. Originally, I had some plans to add a spear-type weapon with a snow flake head piece, but realized it really took away from Brycen's original character, which pre...
Rock Lobsters
Dwebble and Crustle are here! Yes, I know they're crabs.I have to stop telling myself, "Oh I'll do this set, it'll be really easy and quick" because it always ends up turning around and being so incredibly annoying. Honestly, I wish there was a more accurately shaped "rock" accessory, but oh well - shards will do. And hey, I actually like how Crustle's rock thing came out.Enjoy.
Mother Hen
Pidove, Tranquill and Unfezant are here!As usual the my two greatest nemesis with Koikatsu are its busted arm / elbow nodes and, in general, clipping - but always with the skirts. And they both come together, joining forces to make my life difficult with this set.Wings are attached, loosely, to Pidove and Tranquill's arms, which should be functional and relatively issue free, but I haven't tested all animations. Unfezant, thankfully, has ...
Love Suckers
Woobat & Swoobat have been reworked! This was technically supposed to come out later, but the Pidove line is taking a too long, so I figured I'd somewhat quickly throw this together, which still ended up taking all day <_<This release overhauls their body, face, hair, accessories, and clothing. So, basically entirely new releases, but still enough different where it's not just an update to the old characters.One thing I'm not so certa...
Crystal Skies
Gym Leader Skyla is finally here! A lot of care went into this design since, upsettingly, there isn't even a modded default outfit for her that I'm aware of, but she does apparently have a modded Christmas outfit from her Masters EX design - which comes with basically the same hair. With some tweaks and repainting, that's been adjusted to better fit her head and dimensions. The same was done with her actual skin - I noticed some splot...
Swan Song
Ducklett and Swanna are here!I've been wanting to do this set for a long time now, but it's overwhelming design was fairly intimidating and it proved to be just as challenging as I thought it would be with how long it took to finalize their designs. But with Skyla around the corner, it was time to finally bite the bullet and get these two done.Ducklett does have her little wand (not shown above) but it doesn't come with the swirl effe...
The Underground Boss
Gym Leader Clay is here!...wait what?!Yeah, I'm not exactly sure why, but there is apparently a LOT of fan art out there of genderbent Clay, and it is consistently this.. tiny little girl with pink hair. I don't know if it's from something or based on something, but the art work is from different people and it's all pretty consistent, with slight variations between them - like her eye color and her accessories.So, when I stumbled ...
Freedom Rings
Happy 4th of July!Rufflet and Braviary have been reworked!You'll notice Rufflet's missing a backsprite in the above image. This actually happens way more than you'd think - where a backsprite isn't finished yet so I'm left to assume some minor details on the back end, but usually I cut the image off and only show the front sprites. Well, now you know why.Anyways, it felt appropriate to redo these two since they're the most...
Drill, Baby, Drill
Drilbur and Excadrill are here! Required listening for this release here.I initially planned to release both of these two alongside a unique take on Gym Leader Clay yesterday, but holy wow this was difficult. I don't even know why necessarily, it just.. Dragged on, even though I had a perfectly clear outline for them. I guess I just kept tweaking things and ran out of time. Regardless, I may try and drop Clay today, but since I have a particu...
The Shining Beauty
Nimbasa City Gym Leader Elesa is here! When I started this project I really only wanted to focus on the actual Moemon themself but I really have been (personally) disappointed by the lack of certain PokeGirls available on different KK databases, let alone quality ones. Saying that, I hope you find these of high enough quality.Although I do use a mod of Elesa's hair, it's actually heavily modified and recolored so that it's really just...
Blitz Off!
Blitzle and Zebstrika are here! Pretty simple. Some modifications. I really wanted them to actually have their "horns", so I gave them horns. I like it better than the ponytail lightning bolt (which is not going to happen anyways, because you know, physics, KK, etc), but a shapely ponytail is still just as good.Of course, with these two here, you know whose next, or at least, you should know.Also, I might have forgotten to give Blitzle so...
Victory Flame
The Mythical Victini is here! So, I actually decided to take a couple of days off, mainly due to the excessive heat wave that came through here, but also to just relax for a bit, and figured I would do a relatively simple Legendary release right after.This BITCH was anything but simple. I went through several iterations before I was satisfied with it. I should have documented the whole process, if anything, just to see the final result compared t...
Insect Artist
Gym Leader Burgh is here! Artemis Burgh, that is.I don't know why this was so complicated. It's actually a rather simple design, even if translating Burgh's clothing to a feminine build (the skirt itself didn't actually take too long), but the real problem was the hair. It's so ridiculous, I hate it. I settled off a slightly different design, based on some fan art, which I want to actually showcase this time - since it's t...
Little Shop of Tailors
Sewaddle, Swadloon and Leavanny are here!Another bug line is here, which we soon be followed up by a female version of the Bug Gym Leader in Unova, Burgh - whose name in most other translations is actually Arti or Arty, which might sound a bit more feminine than BURGH BLURGHHH so I might change that.Anyways, although there isn't much to say about these, I do want to mention that after these, we've completed roughly 84 out of 161 Moemon fo...
Natural Harmonia Gropius
Team Plasma Queen N is here!Not much to say here. It's N.The emphasis on this release is on her little quirky accessories, which I had fun learning about, like her necklace, or the weird Rubik's Cube thing hanging off her hip, or the weird bracelet thing - both of them - on their wrists. What are they? What do they represent?Who the hell knows.Hat can be turned off with subs.Enjoy!Zekrom can be found here.Reshiram can be found here.
Desert Flower
Maractus is here! Fun little fact about this, but while making this and working on her, the initial hair piece that I was going to use for her actually had a texture of 4085x4085, which is the first time I've ever seen that with any of these KK pieces. Usually, they're 4096x4096, 2048x2048, 1024x1024, or sometimes 512x512, or some variation of that, but never 4085x4085. After editing it, it wasn't broken or anything and worked fine, I...
Rockin' and Rollin'
Gym Leader Roxie is here! I was finishing this up last night, looked at the time, and realized I wouldn't be able to finish, as I - for some reason - thought I had a lot more to do, and that I would finish it this morning. Then.. I realized, no, actually, it's completely done, minus the other outfits, which didn't take long. Still, I really could have got this out last night if I just spent another.. 15 minutes? To do the scene? And u...
Rollie Pollie
Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede are here! Whew this was complicated.I did used a bit of creative liberty and changed a few things around for practical reasons. Mainly, Scolipede's armored cloak thing. That just wouldn't work at all in KK, if we wanted physics at all that is. It would have required 30+ accessories for a rigid cloak that clipped through most poses, so instead I changed it to upper arm and hip armor. I think it works a to...
♫ Cheren, Cheren Lady ♫
Gym Leader Cheren is here! Hey, look at that, the other Basic Badge holder and another Normal-type Gym Leader literally immediately after the last one. And also your Rival. Unlike usual, I've decided to merge the two together - Rival Cheren and Gym Leader Cheren, and this manifests as her alt outfit (casual clothes), which, perhaps, is a bit more iconic than her Gym Uniform: But that's mainly it.Small release, knocking out another one of ...
Nacrene Supreme
Gym Leader Lenora is here! Whew, okay. So, first off, I really did mean to get this out yesterday, I just.. forgot to publish lol. I got mixed up with stuff on the back end, as there's a lot of new sprites that I've been waiting for patiently for a long time, but it's all Gen 6 stuff which will come later. So let's not get too ahead of ourselves.I would try and be cute and say Lenora is our first black trainer, but she isn't -...
