nailed it.

every week my company is holding a caption contest on new photos we post on our facebook. the winner gets a illustrated version of their profile picture.

i spent about an hour on this, from initial sketch to what you are looking at now.  my idea for charmander is that it lives in a cave, probably in some type of mine shaft or mountainous area. since it is still very young it’s body can’t handle the harshness of a dryer environment now, like amphibians it has moist skin- only instead of keeping it from drying out it’s an oily substance that keeps it’s tail flame alight. it’s flame is what it uses to attract prey, so I would imagine it’s pretty important.

realistic(ish) charmander inbound.

bears and capybaras in the morning. one day i’ll probably color these.

alright, after about an hour and a half of painting here is what i got.

i made bulbasaur some kind of frog creature, he needs to stay amphibious in order for the parasitic bulb on it’s back to absorb enough moisture to mature. instead of having a prehensile tongue, the bulb on it’s back has two insect catching vines or something.

yeah.

i need to practice more. 

everyone likes fanart right? here is a quick concept sketch of what a realistic bulbasaur might look like. now let’s finish it!

drawing dinosaurs on the train.

another quick big cat study. i like the way the tiger turned out.

i found another cool figure drawing site.

the legs look a little stumpy on the bottom row.
