Small comic sketched back in October when FARIGIRAF was revealed. Lamarck would be proud.
Little Disclaimers: I know Alolan Exeggutor is not an evolution of Exeggutor, and I know Alolan Exeggutor is way taller than Farigiraf, this is done just for laughs

Here are some of the things I have hyperfixated on through my life-
Mom wanted me to draw some of my hyperfixations for a mothers day gift- she wanted it watercolored but watercolor drains my soul- sorry mom :(

As I was going through my files, I realize that I never posted my full illustration for the Pokemon Diversity Zine.
On one hand, I love drawing Team Skull being dorks with Pokemon in a relatively non-destructive way. On the other hand, I’m not suuuuper fond of the Maractus variants I proposed.
Maybe some day I’ll take it back to the drawing board and get them to properly fit the style.

Would love to know your thoughts on Exeggcute and Exeggutor!
Exeggcute is one of the most interesting Gen 1 'mons. What looks like a bunch off eggs is actually a bunch of seeds, and indeed, Exeeggcute is part grass-type. There's no other Pokemon quite like it.
Visually, I like how the otherwise plain "eggs" are broken up by the cracks, including one split open at the back completely. I also enjoy how there are different expressions on different eggs, ranging from angry to smug.
Interestingly, the original sprites showed Exeggecute with a larger middle egg. I think it starts to be a bit too much in some sprites, I do like the BW sprite that just has it slightly bigger.
Side note: I kind of wish Exeggucute was yellow, just because it would've matched it with Eggector that much more.
The group of seeds eventually evolve/"hatch" into Exeggutor, which is pretty perfect both from a "growing a plant' standpoint and a "progressing the most interesting elements" standpoint. Exeggutor has a body, but it also retains multiple coconut heads, which are very reminiscent of Exeggcute.
What I like about this design is how monster-y it is. A lot of grass-type 'mons have a habit of just being humanoid, so this giant palm tree with its multiple heads, stubby clawed feet, and lack of arms is absolutely unique and refreshing.
And visually, it's also nice. The brown base works as a neutral and compliments the brighter yellows and greens nicely. Most of the focus is on the heads, allowing the body to be simple comparatively.
And yeah, Alolan Exeggutor is perfect; I don't think you guys need me to tell you that. For many years, early Pokemon were constrained to being able to a fit a small square box of pixels, so taking advantage of the 3D models to make an Exeggutor that's actually the height of a palm tree is super fun and really memorable. I also like that it's implied that this form was the original, rather than vice versa.
Long neck aside, I also like the addition of one more head on the tail (to keep a lookout at ground level), which further emphasizes its original multi-head concept. I also like the darker, richer shade of brown here. Both forms are really good, but I do find myself liking Alolan Exeggutor just a bit more.
Anyway, really good line overall. The concept is unique and the original line was already solid, improved with an excellent regional.
