I posted it already during the kickstarter comment section, but here we go! It's my first idea for my Pick-a-Magnus entry!
It's name is Sombul and it's a sleepy ghost friend
(Thanks to Xanaphi for the name suggestion!)
There was a vote amoung the comment section to help me decide on a colourscheme. The nebula one was the winner but the black and white one was my personal fave.
(In case anyone's still interested in seeing the others, the link is here)
I also had a thought of maybe using some of the others as special breeding rarity patterns, if the fan-made magnus are gonna be allowed to do that too. That would be awesome!
For its gameplay, I think it would be good at sleep status magic, and generally be a shy support character. Perhaps if you mount it it carries you with its giant hug arms? Or perhaps it hides inside your shadow and its just like a buff that increases your walk speed?
And I'm quite undecided so far on it's evolutions.
I'm not even sure if this should be it's baby form or if it should have an even smaller one?
Also my initial concept for its final evo is gonna be a cool ghostly headless knight, like a floating set of armour animated by flames. Shy baby got badass!
Though lol, I also have A LOT of other ideas for Magnus, so i'm not sure if this is gonna be my final design? I might just post them all in this same post as I draw them, to avoid spamming up the forum, lol
Also a little unrelated but I dunno where else to put it: have a pixel fanart of the protagonists!
Also make all the design colors, I'd collect them all
I like the hug mounting idea or just ride on its head in between its striped ears. I really love Sombul :)
So, have you decided on the evolutions?
I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean like its AI behaviour as an enemy or what it's gonna do on the farm? Cos everyone had a good discussion about the enemy stuff on the first page.
I'm not quite sure about its use on the farm, except maybe its good at planting seeds or something? I just imagine some really cute animations of it using its big spooky arms to delicately plant trees and like.. delicately sip a cup of tea or something. Its a gentle soul!
Oh, or maybe its sleep powers could be used to your benefit? I don't fully know how the farm system works, but if its similar to Stardew Valley there'd be an energy bar that lets you only plant so many things in a day. So maybe Sombul can give you a small amount of energy restoration or something? All the power of a nap!
I was watching the video here, and it made me think, what will your Sombul do?

Omg!!! So cute!
Rarity colours are indeed a thing! I made that pic editing from the official template they showed for the Momochi monster on the kickstarter page. Apparantly you can get rare colours from breeding and its kinda like how FF7 does it? Its vague but tantalizing!
I love the rarity idea so much. I've not seen much information about the Magnus anywhere, and thought that rarity colours/themes was actually a thing because of how well it looks (I could still not know that it IS a thing if it is). :3 Wonderful!
I remember seeing the lined version on Kickstarter but I am really liking the color schemes. :D Awesome stuff. Will keep an eye out for its evolutions. :D
very nice Bunni89 I really Sombul :D
I really love the ghostie! It is very nicely done. The breeding chart colors are also very cute!
I still love this idea and am happy you posted the original voting sheet as I missed that somehow. I love both the black and white one and the nebula one. I don't see why you couldn't have both in the breeding chain since the colors and patterns really don't have to match. Also, that pixel art is incredibly cute!
This is going to be so cool!
For the final stage, a grumpy snorlax ghostie would be so cool! Or you could go all out with your ghost and turn it into an awesome ghost creature
For some reasons, your design reminds me of Digimon's "Keramon" (but way more CUTE) :)
i really hope that Digimon inspired designs would end up in the final game!
really looking forward to that. btw i like the Black & Purple Designs :D
Got to say, I love the designs so much! I really like the black and white one more; love dark colors lol. The U-Rare is freaking awesome looking too. Really would love to see this guy in game picking up the MC and carrying them around<3
Wow, this is pretty amazing, keep up the creative work~
Ghost snorlax! Lazy and angry to be woken up! That would be my spirit animal! Maybe you should make yours the middle evolution and make it progressively more awake! Like baby is asleep, then middle is half awake, and then max is mostly awake and grumpy to the player daring enough to interupt their bedtime!
Hooray, it was you! :D
You are a genius of names, my friend!! Thanks again for the help!
And omg yes, they are perfect ghost snorlaxes~
Actually it was me who suggested the name, from somnambul which is the technical term for sleep walking. And I love the idea of them sleeping you then curling back up, like snorlax. And yes reverse boos! "...I don't see you... ...I don't see you... OMG, I JUST WANT TO SLEEP LEAVE ME ALONE!!! ...I don't see you..."
