CAT CALENDAR

After consuming a large number of delicious apples, Caterpie realized it was time to evolve! However, eating that much fruit so quickly resulted in some quite uncomfortable results....

A friend of mine gave me the idea, and I just had to do it. >.> Poor Metapod!

Hungry little Caterpie! :)

Less of an evolutionary line than the meeting of different species. When this particular Ivysaur evolves, I like to think he'll end up with an enormous saguaro on his back. Other things that should grow out a 'saur's back: coconut palm, pineapple, orchids, venus fly traps. Awkward mash of styles and colors, sorry, but I'm excited to get on to the lizards!

Blastoise has the face of a baby and a cat put together. Seriously, look at him. Maybe add in a hint of hippo and there you go, Blastoise. The moral of this? It's badass, it's awesome, but it's not cute. At all. O.O I went through a lot of different drafts of Blastoise, none of them seeming quite right. But, in the end, two images emerged, and I just had to do them both!

So here, of course, is Blastoise getting ready to hydro pump you straight in the face. Look at that little tongue, is he mocking you!?

But, it seems that he really does not like snow. It might be that freezing thing... I dunno. ;)

Hope you all enjoy. :)

Here's Wartortle, my favorite of the Squirtle line. Something about his tail and those ears, I dunno, I like it. :)

Since I'm going to be busy for the next day or two (boyfriend aggro, you all know how that is) I really want to get Blastoise done tonight as well. However, since I have a few matters to take care of, (some other pending art, laundry, should probably feed my pet salamanders...) I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish him before tomorrow. We'll see!

That's enough blathering from me, enjoy. :)

The Squirtle line has always been my least favorite out of the original starters, I'm not really sure why. (I'm more of a fire gal, what can I say?) However, when looking up ref pictures, it dawned on me that Squirtle really is completely adorable.

No background on this one, but only because anything else I added took the focus away from the cute factor. Seriously, being cute should be an attack, because how could you hit something that looks like that!?

See, Charizard, he likes marshmallows too! But roasting them plain is not enough for him anymore, he prefers the "evolved" form of the marshmallow... the s'more. :)

Follow Jeanna's remarkable journey as she travels the United States by foot.

Here's Charmeleon! Too tired tonight to say much more than that. Enjoy. :)

So, I want to apologize for posting again in such a short amount of time, but I managed to churn out another picture and it just doesn't seem right to tack it on to my last post with Venusaur. For some reason I just couldn't stop drawing and out popped Charmander, which I think personally turned out really good. Anyway, I promise this is the last picture for tonight at least, unless I don't want to get any sleep! I hope you all enjoy it. :)

So, here is Venusaur in probably the weirdest position ever:

But it was just so cute I had to do it. :)

Gunna be gone for a day or two after this, but expect more poke-arts after that! :)

Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

Hey guys, moving right along! (It's easy to say that now, haha.) Ivysaur always seemed like a pokemon going through puberty, stuck somewhere between a round, cute pokemon and a big badass pokemon. Anyway, I drew him being pretty emo, sitting in his little corner with his nice big flower bud, a puff of stun spore wafting above him. Seems about right I think. >.> (Oh, and he also was my favorite of the three Bulbasaur evolutions. What does that say about me!?)

I encourage all of you dormant pokenauts to come out and post your own pictures btw! Just so I'm not so lonely. :)

Heya, I used to be rikkoshaye but to you, my poke-friends, I'm Wooperlooper.

I'm guessing the only downfall to this community is the huge amount of Bulbasaur pictures you see. I suppose I might as well add mine to the pile!
