[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Delloso de la Rue the owlbear stands facing the viewer. They are wearing a long sleeve, floor length gown of rosy velvet that darkens to a deep wine color. Attached to the dress collar is a green velvet capelet in the shape of Luna Moth wings, studded with rhinestones. A blooming pink peony sits over their heart, and a crown of pink peony buds sits on their head, draped with glittering crystals. END DESCRIPTION]
I have made it just in time before the last session!
I am not an artist, but a couple of weeks ago I've seen this template by @xmaruu11 , and decided to participate... for fun! I only know how to work with the most rudimentary programs, like Hero Forge and MS Paint... So here you go, the total of 18 unique 3D-models, if you want them for yourself to spin around, play dress up or fix my mistakes, feel free to send me an ask, and I will happily share a Hero Forge link with you... Hope you'll like it!
And huge thanks to the these artists, whose art was used as references and inspirations for figurines... (I would've loved to link art pieces directly, but I don't know how... I am new on this website...)

One last post for the year and it's my "Art Vs Artist" for 2023! It was a tough year for my creativity due to burnout, but I am pleased with the art I managed to make.
Image description: A collage of artwork with a photo of Stace in the middle. They are wearing a witch hat with mushrooms and have mushroom inspired makeup. The artwork surrounding them includes (starting from top left): a marker painting of a snail; a watercolor illustration of two tortoises; a digital illustration of a mermaid octopus; a marker illustration of a woman with water hair; a marker illustration of a blue skinned horned woman; a sketch of an anthropomorphic fox wearing a sun hat and a dress; a drawing of a luna moth fairy; and a digital illustration of an anthropomorphic mouse couple getting ready to dance.
he is but a little boy. his coat is too big for him
human, but 18th century. complete with silly little wig. no one else is dressed like this he is a fish out of water the whole show
outfit designed after the viceroy butterfly -- extremely similar to a monarch, and often confused as such, though it is smaller and less famous/celebrated
not pictured obv but this is a contrast to pamina who is luna moth coded. also possibly less human. we'll see when i get around to drawing her eventually
also tamino is deaf To Me....sketch below wasn't good enough for prime time imo but i'll include it here i guess. he signs and reads lips enough to get by. "how can he play the flute if he's deaf" it's the magic flute. are you looking for logic here. just go with it
Kara time... They're also known as The Cleric and they just got a massive redesign. Now they're a moth
[ ID: A drawing of Kara, a moth person, dancing with one arm in the air and the other out to the side, pointing one foot to the side as well. They look very happy. They're a moth person with large wings and a pair of antennae, as well as a smaller pair of moth wings on their eyes. They're wearing a sleeveless ruffled dress with many layers, a dark belt, stirrup leggings, and ruffled fingerless gloves. They also have a dark ribbon around their neck. They have short curly hair and a very short beard. End ID ]
Welcome to the first edition of Pikmin Fandom Monthly! This is just a little monthly series I'd like to do where on the first day of each month, I share neat fan projects from the pikmin fandom made in the previous month! For this I will be focusing on creative projects (so no analysis or theories, at least for now). For this first edition, all entries will be ones that I have found and enjoyed but in the future I hope to have some that were recommended to me as well! (Most of these entries are from Tumblr as a result, oops.) No images or snippets will be posted to these: all entries will be links to where the artists have posted the original work!
Please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments about how to handle this series in the future and of what March 2023 works should be included in the next edition! Any creative pikmin fan work is welcome, so long as it was made during this March.
This will also be cross-posted to Pikmin Park!
With all that out of the way, here are our categories!
Multi-Page Fan Comics and Visual Ask Blogs
We only have one of these for this month, that being Pikmin x Weirdcore - a visual ask blog over on Tumblr! It's fairly surreal, but it's been a lot of fun thus far! Olimar, Louie, and the Koppaites have all crashed on PNF-404 (again) and have been separated (again). This time, however, it seems a beast that is other-worldly even to PNF-404 is after them now. Quick warning, the artist has stated that there will be violence, glitchy imagery, and body horror in this one!
Fan Art and One Page Comics
Aka the largest collection I've gathered this month!
Firstly is Professor Pikton by Buttery Cuties! A purple pikmin dressed up like Professor Layton to celebrate the upcoming games in both franchises, how cute!
Corromon drew this Olimin, which simply looks great! Poor Olimar certainly needs a hug, though.
Higgy also drew Olimar - two Olimars, in fact! The sketchy style and expressions are very pleasing to look at, and I adore his little boots.
Next up, Alph (rightfully) worries over Louie's eating habits in this short comic by Cirtus. The style closely resembles how the characters look in-game, which is a very nice cherry on top of how sweet and charming this two-panel comic is.
SparrowOvO drew this amazing art of a baby snagret sitting with a very spooked ice pikmin. I don't even know where to start with this one - the colors, lighting, texturing, and expressions are all just so good. This may easily be my favorite out of this month's fan art!
Zombunny drew three of our four new leaders with Oatchi! They're all so adorable, and this looks great (as for where our unnamed bald friend is, he is reportedly in jail for tax evasion, among other crimes. (For legal reasons, this is a joke.))
This next entry is apparently older art, but it wasn't posted until this February, so here's this really cool idea for a phosbat variant: the Beguiling Phosbat by vehemoth-phosbitch! This beautiful little beast can withstand sunlight and is based more so on the luna moth (and maybe the flying fox as well, but I may be wrong).
Louivi drew this gorgeous piece simply captioned as Smokey Progg. The colors, the textures, it's all so good an so very haunting. Perfect for the little horror that is the smokey progg in game!
And last but certainly not least is the only piece of fan art that didn't come from Tumblr: this beautiful art of all four of our new leaders hanging out, made by Porinu! They all look adorable, each with their own pose! I particularly like how our unnamed pink friend looks - she seems so curious and even innocent to a degree.
Fanfiction and Written Ask Blogs
Once again, I only have one piece for a category. This time, it is Safe in A Father's Embrace written by PiperRose90. This story may be very short, but it is also very sweet! Olimar must make sure that Louie and Alph will be okay for the night - they are practically his sons now, after all!
Other Works
Firstly is this amazing little sculpture of a pyroclasmic slooch by Tete's DIY! This video shows their process for making the little sculpture from start to finish - including how they made the "fire" really glow!
Creative Sushi did this wonderful little cosplay of the Hocotate Freight Ship! It looks fantastic, and all of the little details really show how much love and effort went into the creation of this cosplay.
Kevin Fagaragan animated this adorable concept for a pikmin 4 ending - don't worry, there's no spoilers! Just overwhelming cuteness as the pikmin hang out and dance with Oatchi.
And to wrap all of this up is yet another animation! In Wooden Turtle's Do Not Pet the Baby Snagrets, not even Olimar can resist how adorable these new additions to the pikmin planet are! But, ah, it seems that leads him into a bit of trouble...
Thanks for sticking around until the end! I hope I get to do more of this in the future, I really want to be able to show off what the fanbase can do! Please, give any and all of the artists featured here a follow - and feel free to suggest works to be featured next month! I'll see you on April 1st with the best of what March had to offer (with minimal fooling around... probably).
