A Pokemon fan has shared impressive headgear with the community, using popular Pokemon as design inspiration. While some of the creatures from the Pokemon franchise have stylized designs that look rather cute, these new pieces of artwork have a more detailed appearance, with fans suggesting they resemble gear from the Dark Souls or Monster Hunter series.
As one of the most popular media franchises in the world, it is unsurprising to see fans create artwork based on the creatures found in the world of Pokemon. As new generations of games are released, fans come up with original concepts based on the creatures added. While the community often creates new variants and fusion designs for the existing Pokemon, one fan has decided to put an exciting twist on their latest Pokemon-themed art.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Players Shocked by Corviknight's Size
A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player shares their surprise at how big their Corviknight is, impressing fellow fans of the game.
In a Reddit post, a user known as KosukeSukeP shared pictures of some of their most recent creations that imagined Pokemon designs as headgear. The intriguing project revealed what some Pokemon would look like if they were fashioned as gear to be worn. The concepts covered a lot of ground, ranging from ornate to battle-ready. The artist let the designs of Pokemon like Xerneas, Steelix, Mimikyu, and many others influence the look of the headgear to fantastic effect. While each piece called back to the creature that inspired it, all the gear had a natural look. Armarouge and Ceruledge understandably stayed close to their original designs, given their knight-like appearances. However, KosukeSukeP got more creative with other Pokemon, such as Cacturne and Cacnea, incorporating their green color and spikes into the final designs.
Artist's Incredible Headgear Designs Based on Pokemon
When posting their work to Reddit, many in the community described the headgear designs as a blend of Dark Souls and Monster Hunter. The artwork has already earned over 8.2K upvotes on the platform, with many highlighting their favorite pieces. For instance, numerous users liked the Steelix-inspired headgear, pointing out that it would feel at home in FromSoftware's Elden Ring. It is worth mentioning that KosukeSukeP has shared other designs based on the franchise in the past, with some timelapse videos available on their Instagram. In addition, they previously imagined what Pokemon would look like as weapons to be brandished in battle.
This recent fan art from KosukeSukeP has made the community want an official Monster Hunter collaboration. While it is hard to tell if that will happen in the future, fan art lets fans at least see what potential crossovers could look like. Time will tell if artists like KosukeSukeP make even more headgear featuring more Pokemon in the series.
