Daily Dex - Natu, Huntail, Gurdurr and Turtwig
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop

I don't know how else to describe this than "it looks like it'd be wall art in Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared. On the "is it just a bird" spectrum I'd say no, this does not count because it's more the abstract idea of a bird.

Goofy eel looking motherfucker. I look at this and I hear Bobcat Goldthwaite. Can't explain it. No other notes.

This thing. This fucking thing right here.
Are we not supposed to intuit that this is a koala that watched Pumping Iron too much as a youth and got an unhealthy bodybuilding obsession? But it's complicated by the fact that the steel beam is PART of the pokemon - and that the pre-evolution is more of a rodent-style creature with a WOODEN stump.
There's so much going on here it's hard to try to compartmentalize. The wood becomes steel? And then the final evolution is more of a sloth-like creature with two wooden beams. I'm not sure what to make

I had to triple check that this thing hadn't been done in the project yet. I don't have a great system of tracking which pokemon I have / haven't done (that's on me but this is an informal project) so if I somehow have then fuck me I guess lmao
Turwig's as good as it can be for a grass starter. I like its evolutions significantly better (the middle one is better than the final to me, but I'm a Gamera sicko) but it's cute as is.
Anyway coming up on the blog: some art stuff and mayyyybe some Summer Geoff Fest impressions. I only watched one showcase but I've tried a few demos and have some thoughts about things announced. I feel like this year was significantly less bad than last year's - though again it's possible the most egregious things missed me.
