We take a small break from your daily Oc and character posts to present…. Wait, another Pokémon???
Yes! It’s Excavalier! As someone who grew up on Gen 4, I was admittedly quite stubborn on wanting to like Gen 5 when it came out. But I still remember being blown away by the Unova Pokémon designs as a kid, especially the bug types! But I remember exclusively drawing Excavalier and Accelgor in my notebooks in school, even gifting a drawing of them to my teacher lol. I still remember being upset not being able to have both Pokémon in my game cause I didn’t have another DS or both titles to trade/evolve them! Haha. It was a little hard ‘breaking’ the personality of Excavalier due to the many moving parts in its design, but at the end I focused more on the rendering to test the waters of painting metal again.
Btw, I’m super happy a lot of people really loved Natu and Xatu’s drawings! It tickles me that an obscure Pokémon suddenly gained interest! I couldn’t be happier my drawings somehow moved people this way, even if I drew them for the silly fun of it lol. Thanks for enjoying my work! Drawing these really obscure Pokémon I liked, even as a kid, almost feels like I’m visiting an old friend again. I don’t know why they stuck with me a a kid, but perhaps it’s true that every Pokémon can be someone’s favourite!
(Oh hey! I also do comissions on Pokémon as well! You can check out the link in my bio for my commissions website where you can request a commission via Google Forms or KoFi order! I do not accept commission requests via DM’s, posts or asks due to a high rise of scams around Tumblr. The forms and Ko Fi just makes it more official and safer for us!)
