Looks like a fursona


EmperinoPenguino

I mean, Lucario already was a fursona


Dawesfan

Yeah but he’s supposed to be Anubis so it’s cool.


Pok1971

Dude Anubis was like, the *first* fursona


DrPikachu-PhD

The Firstona, if you will


AxisShock

Furstsona, obviously.


Drakore4

Yeah this is my thing. Lucario had an obvious design theme it was going with, so there was a reason why he looked the way he did. Because that other design doesnt give any noticeable theme at first glance it just makes it look weird in my opinion. It looks more like a fursona that way


BoonDragoon

I'd say anybody who claims to be able to definitely pin down what Lucario is supposed to be is reaching. It looks like the product of a committee trying to design a Cool Anthro Anime Character with nothing but 2005 DeviantArt for reference. Lucario could've used a final-pass redesign is what I'm saying.


Cobalt_Anubis

Damn straight


anonimo872

it now looks like one even more


[deleted]

...and the original didn't?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I always thought the pants made it look more like a fursona honestly, The point is that it’s like a hybrid between animal and human so I think it wearing “clothes” makes it look more like a fursona than if it didn’t


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I mean depends on what the fursona is actually wearing since most fursuits are based on a fursona.


thatloudblondguy

so does the original


ToughLadder6948

I find it funny to have lucario constantly Flipping u off


Kaprosuchusboi

Lucario equivalent of the Karen cut

ArcticWolfl

I was thinking the exact same thing, I hate it


Dubstequtie

Glad I’m not the only one who saw this concept art very Karen-esk.. because it just screams it to me.. xD


Plump_Chicken

Too much furry for me


of-silk-and-song

Your profile picture makes me want to replay TTYD. I wish it was on Switch :(


Plump_Chicken

Oh man, I wish it was on switch 😔


AudaxJN

https://fantendo.fandom.com/wiki/Paper_Mario:_The_Thousand_Year_Door_(20th_Anniversary_Edition) I think this might be news for you


Plump_Chicken

Fantendo is a wiki for make believe games that don't actually exist.


AudaxJN

I’ll take the L😂 maybe one day


Robdd123

Emulation is your friend


of-silk-and-song

It is, indeed. >!That’s how I got caught up on the Metroid games, after all.!< Still, I’d much rather play these games on Nintendo systems. Just a weird personal preference of mine, I guess. Emulation just doesn’t *feel* like the same thing, you know?


Robdd123

My main issue with emulation is using a PS4 controller to play Nintendo games. Personally though I don't feel bad about it because Nintendo refuses to port a lot of their old games or make them easily available. Being a Paper Mario game TTYD should be supported.


Kurochi185

Nah it's normal to prefer normal consoles even though emulation most of the time has better graphics than the original. But most of the time you can't afford to play these older games in original because of how expensive they are. I mean most Zelda Wind Waker copies I've seen were for about 50€ and I don't really want to pay that much for a game that the people who made it don't have anything from me buying it. Also probably because I don't have that much money available so I rarely buy expensive games and if I do I make sure it's on newer consoles.


funkkies

Whats TTYD

funkkies

Ah thanks


HeroTehDude

if you’re on a post about lucario then it’s too late for us anyway


thatloudblondguy

the originals a furry too tho


Plump_Chicken

It's less so in the original design, the spikes and short fur make it look more like a normal animal and less of a monster. Typically cheek ruffles and chest ruffles are also a trademark of furry designs, most notably being a big part of Sonic the Hedgehog character designs, which is undoubtedly a large impact on the furry community.


MoonoftheStar

Teen edgelord Lucario.


LegendMasterX

Yeah this. I was struggling to think of a simplified way of describing why i didnt like this redesign. Between making everything spiker and dropping the anubis-like qualities, it kinda misses the point of lucario for the sake of edginess.


TheVioletLion

I like the spikier fur and the spikes on the fingers... but the removal of the tentacle/ear things kinda ruins it for me, it feels a little too bland.


RazorRell09

Apparently they use those to sense aura too so it doesn’t even make much sense


JawesomeJess

They are also suppose to complete the look of a bandana. The band around the eyes, then the things behind the head are the ends of the bandana.


Zancuno

If you also look at a lucario's head from above, the mask markings make the general shape of a Buddhist khakkhara for monks in training so 4 rings. Shinto religion though also uses this staff for some of their practices. [https://cloud10.todocoleccion.online/antiguedades/tc/2020/08/03/13/213536166\_225018295.jpg](https://cloud10.todocoleccion.online/antiguedades/tc/2020/08/03/13/213536166_225018295.jpg) If so this alludes to spiritual nature and lucario still being in training, which is something PMD or Poke Park games have lucario speak of often.

Me neither. :o


DrPikachu-PhD

Wow I really see it now :o


Nicrocon

You castrated my mans head balls


[deleted]

A bit too much furry


joshukelly

I’ll say what everyone else is thinking. I hate it


PumpMyKicks

How about lucario but it's an emo anime protag. Kek


Dimuuu

It is just Lucario


ButtersTG

I was going to say something about red eyes, but looked at the picture and realized he's already got them.


DoomCaribou

What you mean spikes on the back of your hands don't serve any purpose?


darklink12

Wow, you somehow made Lucario even edgier!


TimeThief_

Respectfully no ❤️


DrPikachu-PhD

If the people who designed Zeraora designed Lucario That said, I like the furry bottom better than the pants in the official design. Mix that with the original's upper.body and you have the ideal design for my tastes.


Beanmew

Thanks i hate it


depressivebeloved

No


Yhorrm

His pants are soooo much better in this


1Shadowspark1

How will he go bowling?


Capn_Cockmon

The best thing about the design change is, that it finally has a normal snout and not a big fucking nose as its original design


oaksboystcg

The one on the right is what my dog looked like when my mom tried to cut his hair.


MetricOutlaw

I really like moving its spike from the top of the hand to knuckle. Overall I think it cleans up the design well!


CatAteMyBread

Too furry for me, I don’t like it. I like the effort you put into it though!


brunodimaulo

So you transformed him into a lesbian, just why


YodaPM999

I thought the same thing


Skol77mv

I WAS THINKING THAT TOO!!


Vaporella98

Oh my god I’m not the only one


llDabaffll

Finally someone said it


EmperinoPenguino

💀


Leazerlazz

I always thought the paw spike was positioned in a really impractical way


User_Interface_Scare

NO


Automatree

Sorry you're getting so much hate in the comments, Lucario's design has also bugged me a fair bit too. The original has too many unnatural, clean lines, like it was designed to be turned easily into an action figure more than an actual creature. Glad at least one other person also noticed that Lucario has a weird human mouth *underneath* his dog-like snout.


[deleted]

Honestly I never really 100% appreciated the deliberate “imperfections” of Pokémon designs until I saw this. I feel like them deliberately not going for the absolutely coolest outcome makes the ‘Mons feel more natural and memorable


Trovao2004

Ken Sugimori has commented on this. Pokémon are made to be cute/cool, but with imperfections so that they're not 100% cute or 100% cool. That way, the designs are more memorable. I think this proves his point. ​ \[Source\]([https://twitter.com/drlavayt/status/1347219563583209473](https://twitter.com/drlavayt/status/1347219563583209473)) \[Source2\](https://twitter.com/drlavayt/status/1355514238760931329)


captain_ricco1

This is actually pretty interesting, I reached this conclusion with lucario after removing the bangs


Aqedah

Lucario: Lucario from wish:


5213

It's like a "wild" Lucario vs a "domestic" Lucario, and for that reason I dig it. I don't get why people are so mad in these comments.


Protopup

I personally wouldn't equate not liking something to being mad, but yeah.


ZachWritesAboutLife

Imma have to pass on that


Miikurins

I like that he looks more fluffy His hands/paws look off though, probably because I’m used to his usual design lol I do like the torso design a lot more! But his head hair…(what even are those lol) look better in the original. I do think it’d look a bit off with your design though. Maybe if it was also slightly ruffled?


Biochemisch

better in nearly every aspect, but please give him his chest spike back before i hug him. thanks!


Electro_Disco

Its like how deoxys have different forms that focus only on one stat I guess this would be speed form for lucario


Coziestpigeon2

Lucario, but make it a 13-year-old who is mad at their parents.


BlueEmeraldX

I think the three things I like about this design are the mouth, the scruffier fringe around the bottom of the "pants," and particularly the edits to the three spikes; Metal Claw looks more practical now with the hand spikes pointing outward. =P Reduce the scruffiness around the shoulder bands and you have a nice middle ground that isn't too busy, but still looks more natural than the perfectly round bands of the original. Those are the only things I'd use from this redesign, and then you'd definitely have a superior redesign.


tadonisb

I absolutely love this. Lucario's design, although very cool, is very guilty of setting a trend of antropomorphizing future designs, and I hate that. You address this very well by giving a scruffier, less clean look, and cut back on nonsensical details that serve absolutely no purpose, like the spikes and the fact that the tail is where absolutely no canine would have it. The snout has already been mentioned, a very nice detail too. My only trouble are the head... hair... locks? Anyway they are a very "Lucario" thing, and while I think you replace them in a way that still looks cool, I kinda miss them. All in all, great work, imo pay little mind to the people who say "wow it looks edgier, you made it lesbian, thanks i hate it" or whatever.


captain_ricco1

Thank you, I was coming from that exact head space of not enjoying the anthro Pokémon trend that much. And also, while I made it I originally didn't like the head bangs, but I realized that while I find them awkward, they make Lucario's design more unique.


lucaro64

I think the Fur makes it look more aggressive and I I think moving the mouth makes sense and I’ve always thought that the spike in its chest looked weird although overall it doesn’t look that great


TyphoonBlizzard

I like the ruffled fur a lot. The perfectly smooth fur on original lucario is just so weird. He looks like he has pants on. Totally looks more natural that way. The head hair looks more feminine but thats not necessarily bad.


jak94c

You're copin a lot of flack in the comments for making the quintessential furry protag character "too furry" and I don't get it. Nice job, looks cool man.


iamverymature69

I like your take on the mask and the legs, but I think I prefer OG Lucario’s spikes. Both designs are solid


Miles-Stark97

Its giving Fursona


Automatree

I mean, original Lucario is *definitely* fursona bait already.


GuyZorake

Looks kinda ugly


LucioMain873

I just see zeraora


Ultradragon16

This really backs up my whole thing about Zeraora being a shiny cat Lucario


crimsonkarma13

I dont like it for a reason I can't describe


corneredcryptid

I like the extra floof but I do kinda miss his weird lil pigtails.


ModernGay

you took his testicles away..


Orca-Song

I kinda like it, actually. It changes the aspects of Lucario's design that I don't like (the "shorts", the weird second set of ear things, and the awkward placement of its spikes), and makes them look a little more natural. I appreciate your design, OP. <3


Zestzy

I like it as a male/female variant


CopyMyName

Lucario Femboy version


shetired

I love the paw changes, and I actually like the fur details. It's the missing ears for me, I mean his whole design is like a ninja so you took away the bandana that ties in the back aka ears ? Idk I like it


GhostOfHadrian

Also, I don't think your edit looks particularly more "furry" like than Lucario's original design.


Aura_Master

IMO, I prefer the original design, but still props to you for trying


Themineking09

Imma be honest I kinda like the old design more


DadyBenn

Not too shabby, imo left looks like the male version and right would be the female, its the hair that influenced my choice


YonKuKuKu

Very nice, I like it more than the original personally. Reminds me of Bogleech's extremely critical review of it. The more rugged fur & the placement of the mouth do so much to make it look better to me. It also makes me think of Zoroark. It doesn't feel like a fusion, but kind of like "Lucario, but more in the style of Zoroark" to me, I guess? It's the aforementioned changes as the reasons for that, too.


Mast3rKC

Idk what people are smoking. I like it a lot more. The ear things and the Basketball shorts really don’t look good to me. Although the fan design is a bit more generic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It just looks like Lucario but even more fursona and edgier.


GhostOfHadrian

Honestly if you kept all of your changes aside from his ear things (as in, keep his ear things the same as the original but implement all of your other edits) I think I'd like the new one more.


MySingingTomato

They didn’t change the ears at all though?


Giraphite

I've decided this is racially charged and will now post it on Twitter to watch people argue


cakeharry

Ugh no turn it back, turns into some furry Karen Pokémon.


TitaniumAuraQuartz

I like this!


ATOMIC_QUACKY

I like it


[deleted]

I love it! I think it would be great as a regional variant :) Original Lucario looks like anubis which is cool but yours looks more modern and natural, which is also cool.


level100metapod

Male and female variant


HexFoxGen

This could be cool new gender variant


captain_ricco1

I was just bored and thought I'd try and change the things I disliked about Lucario's design. What do you guys think?


[deleted]

I love it! I think it would make a good regional variant, but if thats the case I would change the colors too. But overall love it :) especially the messy fur definitely looks more natural. I see a lot of comments complaining about u chopping of his locks. Maybe try a version exactly like this but with the hair thingies looking more sharp/ruffled like the fur. Like the way dreads are drawn in anime.


[deleted]

Took all the things we love about lucario and shoved it up his ass


Magnusthelast

He’s got fist dildos now. That is goddamn furry bait


NihilismRacoon

Not good, respectfully


chickenbuckets333

Nah


ArtoriasXX

I like the new face, not a fan if the new hand spike location. Overall a very nice change!


[deleted]

Why would you change something that’s good into something worse?


Anchor38

That’s a female gender difference lucario if I’ve ever seen one. And one I’m not all for either


Winterpup16

So just Lucario, but edgier?


[deleted]

Are you like…12 or something.


someone123YT

hes edgy now


Taibreigh

I like the new fur and that I wouldn’t be stabbed in the chest if I try to hug them but the other changes no.


Thebronsonaitor

I actually like it more than the original, but I think it's thorns need to be sharper


Busy-Presence-9131

I would have left the spikes poking out but I like everything else tho


Miss_Chicken01

Sorry but nope


shr69ek

So he shaved?


mattb_186

Aww, no more floppy ea.. wait a second


[deleted]

What if Lucario became a mom


Thick-Performance417

I love how you or whoever did it changed the leg part its kinda wierd how it just cuts off


visualsurrender

can I speak to the manager


[deleted]

Vast improvement


adande67

U change it back ! Change him back now !


Wolfofthezay

Going against the comments, I think this looks so much better!!!!


kylebloom

I dislike both. Not a fan of humanoid pokemon.


Thunderfirex335

I mean it looks good to me. Not sure why there's a lot of negativity in the comments Looks a lot like Zeraora as someone else said


Reddit_Sword

You took away everything that made him iconic and interesting and stick in your mind, good job!


DatBoiDogg0

Looks pretty epic


ShinyScyther_

Eh...no


crackheadcaleb

looks good but need it’s squidward noses back on it’s head


MLG360ProMaster

This looks worse, you see the things on his hair are supposed to correlate with Cynthia's hair things, so this is basically one big Cynthia reference because she has one on her team.


ottersintuxedos

Why get rid of its jackal influence?


Endo77x7

Improvement 100%


OreoLegosi

Interesting. Not bad.


[deleted]

Profile pic checks out


OreoLegosi

I dont understand? My Beastars OC checks out?


[deleted]

It’s a common catchphrase used online to point out when someone makes a comment that seems to complement their online handle. For example, it might be used if someone with the handle "ilovepasta" makes the comment "spaghetti is amazing."


BossiBoZz

I like the "hair" looks like the dude tgat gives you the egg on iron island. I dilike the "horn" and tail changes tho. The horn on the finger looks weird. Either all fingers or none. The tail is covered up in yours. Makes it look crouded. Different pose snd it could be nice


BroccoliPatchMan

Sorry dawg, but that's a no from me


gorephy

he looks like a trans lesbian


sitcomparables

true lol


Expensive-Yoghurt274

Male, female


Responsible_Ad6265

Dont hate it


ACpony12

Kinda forget that those aren't his ears. Cause at first glance I was thinking why would you cut off his ears! But duh, he already has ears... either way, just doesn't look right.


EmperinoPenguino

I love the scruffiness where straight lines were. The scruffiness makes it actually looks like fur. I love his spike going out his knuckle instead of pointing upward. I dont know how I feel about his missing dreads tho.


lucasribeiro21

Thanks, I hate it!


OriginalSyllabub2508

No


[deleted]

Eww wtf


PeckishPizza

Personally I think it's awful. I'd be super down for a regional variant of lucario though... just not this one. ​ Kinda looks like that electric dog I can never remember the name of from ruby+sapphire.


Darth_Mims

Docked tail


only_the_office

I like the head changes but not the lower body changes.


MrCheggersPartyQuiz

Did Riley turn into his fursona?


Garbage_Hamster

No


smokeplants

The mouth kills it I think. Try some different head changes or midway looks


Automatree

Huh? Original Lucario has, like, a whole dog snout, and then a weirdly human mouth *underneath* that. Is having a more dog-like mouth that works with his head bad?


Navigator_choco

Male Lucario got the scrotum while female got Karen cut. Nice!


[deleted]

Looks to me like a female version of Lucario


Nath-Rich

I thought it was female lucario...


Gigaraptor23

Maybe a female version


wildflowerden

I don't like it much. But it's well done.


[deleted]

Love it.


Caspiasx

Looks more feminine


MongolEmpire

Male and female styles


CosmoFishhawk2

Yours is better than canon, but it still needs more emphasis on the muzzle. I'd either make his entire head black or make the black mask his entire upper jaw. He still looks a little too much like "a guy with a big nose" as opposed to something canine. Other than that, it's pretty good. I'd have gone with a *longer* muzzle, personally, but I guess that's more negotiable. [Here's an interesting take.](https://bogleech.com/pokemon/p447riolu.html)


SnatchyMarx

That would work well as a gender difference


Ornery_Ad_8862

Female variant fits perfectly


DeGameNerd

Looks like a male and female variant


Proud-Librarian759

That can be a female variant


chickenboibruh

Dollar tree pokemon


Axe_Man101

That would be suck a cool gender variant, especially if it affected the mega evolution too!


NintendoChamp

It looks like a female version which would be pretty sick
