Volcarona - Blog Posts
A friend recommended I draw Volcarona, so here it is!
Big fluffy fire moth 🔥🔥🔥
Hi I'm here to shamelessly plug the Pokémon fic I've been writing to feed my hyperfixation with this cover art I drew for it
It's a sequel fic to the Jirachi movie, where a Flygon is sent thousands of years into the future when Jirachi wakes up again. It's 3 chapters in so far, with more coming soon~
I always struggled with narrative writing, so this is a project to practice that. Between that and English not being my native language I can't guarantee it's any good but I'm putting a lot of effort into it, I'd appreciate it if anyone gave it a shot :3
(if the link doesn't work, I'm also catwalkvivi on ao3 so you should be able to find me there)
Cheers!! ❤🌟
My April Fools prank is that there is no April Fools prank
Here, have some drawings I made for the Flygon fanfic I've been writing in my spare time
Felt like drawing some Hollow Knight ocs interacting
Roa (Volcarona) and Cammie belong to me
Gamble, Friend, and Claw belong to @doodledrawsthings

I said I’d do more Pokemon/Hollow Knight stuff and since I’m in a Hollow Knight mood here’s more buggies! Some rough new ones and of course my moths!
Moth lore under cut if anyone cares to read my ramblings about them~
Volcarona is old, predating the split in dreams and is perhaps one of the first moths ever made by the Radiance. She is the leader of their little ragtag groups of moths and is highly proficient in dream magics including that of nightmares, whose flames she favors. It is these flames and the extensive knowledge her age has allowed her which she carries with the greatest pride and which she so readily shares with others she comes across in her travels.
Mothim acts as the group’s scout as well as a jack of all trades who helps with random little things whenever needed. Generally, he’s quite confident and alert, but you’d be an anxious mess too if you were separated from your group and it felt like everyone you came across tried to stab you at least once. He doesn’t even know what they meant by infection????
Dustox hauls around and keeps track of much of the group’s basic supplies. They’re the quietest of the group, loosing themselves to their thoughts quite often but they don’t let that effect how meticulous they are with their tasks, which provides them a level of unmatched resourcefulness and ingenuity. They’re still mourning the loss of their child.
Venomoth is the group’s lively healer and storyteller. The energy of the group lies with him as he continues to keep everyone’s spirits up, not allowing the silence of the vast expanses they travel to get to them by instead filling it with his endless thoughts and ideas. He possesses basic skill in soul magic, which allows him focus and heal both himself and others.
Frosmoth is the youngest and the primary defender of the group due to her being the only one to utilize a physical weapon of any kind--a makeshift blade of ice. Despite this, she is still quite inexperienced in fighting with a weapon and still primarily relies on the shear cold of her icy magic to bring her opponents to submission. She often gets into friendly competitions with Mothim.
The groups origins are found before the creation of Hallownest with the Pale King’s initial arrival. Volcarona, having already once been caught in the middle of two warring higher beings and sensing Radiance’s distaste of the new light, did not wish to find herself caught once more. So, she, alongside a handful of other, like-minded moths, departed the caverns and made their way out into the surround vast wastes. Ages later, Volcarona is drawn back to the old place of her birth, bringing with her the remaining descendants of those moths that had initially left with her those ages ago.
More Pokemon in Hollow Knight style, this time all the moths!
Frosmoth is one of my favorite Galar pokemon, but out of these designs I like Venomoth the most. Apparently Volcarona has a different design every time I draw them, though I think I may settle for one closer to the one below.
Even more notebook sketches lol
the volcarona drawing was right beside a drawing that i dont like and didn't want to post so thats why theres scribbles lol
I remade an old Volcarona gijinka
today on "how can I combine my interests": variations of volcarona based on stellar classification!
actual stars are classified based on their spectral characteristics and temperature/color from hottest (bluest) to coldest (reddest) with a strangely ordered letter system: O, B, A, F, G, K, M... why not do the same for this stellar moth?
some other info:
o-type volcarona are incredibly rare and are considered "shiny" pokemon
m-type volcarona can come in the largest variety of sizes from large enough to easily carry a person to about the size of a cat
k-type volcarona are the most common, with the higher temperature ones becoming increasingly more rare (and m is about as rare as g)
while there could be b- and a-type volcarona between o and f, the latter two are so rare that there's no reason to split the categories up further
alder's volcarona is the g-type one shown here, and the m-type one belongs to cyrus in my au
the pupa/cocoon stage is too short relative to the other two stanges to be considered its own separate evolutionary stage like other similar bug type pokemon
