Ordinary Day on the West Coastby *rajewel

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Games

So the DMAP event's pokemon this week was gastrodon. There is a west and an east form, which made me think east and west coast. I live on the west coast, so I thought "what would this area look like if pokemon were there instead?" This is the result.

I tried to include most pokemon I thought plausible to find in a temperate coastal environment, excluding 5th gen pokemon since they wouldn't be naturally mingling with 1-4th gen. Corsola is kinda pushing it, but oh well. There are sea-lions and seals around here so I decided to include spheal and sealeo, even if they're more cold water, but the water here is pretty cold... Lapras... lets just call it Ogopogo. Some aren't really to scale since well, I wanted them to be smaller. I didn't include any pokemon that although CAN live near the coast have a preference for fresh water (ie. squirtle) or would better fit into open/deep/norther oceans.

If anything this was a good bit of practice, what with character and background interaction, de-focusing on a single character and zooming out the camera. A little chaotic but oh well. It kinda reminds me of those find the animal books. How many shellders are there o_O? even I didn't count hah.

Not sure if I'll make a series out of this or not

For anyone wondering there are 20 different pokemon species in this picture (different evolution stages counted serperately).

I like that

Aww god. This is amazing! The attention to detail is great and all the pokemon are recognizable but also realistic!

~xJupi Mar 22, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Wowwww! This is amazing! ∑(O____O；) I was only able to spot 18 pokemon. Unless that relicanth I spy is actually a rock. Then it's 17.

*rajewel Mar 22, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Hehe, thank you, and no, there isn't a relicanth in this : P

waow! how long did it take to draw all that!?

*rajewel Mar 22, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I don't really remember anymore. I worked on this one on and off for a few days while we were getting new windows in the house so mostly I just remember it was very noisy and very cold most of the time (it was winter lol) while drawing this.

~9303kaha Mar 22, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

changing windows in the winter

where do you live? kannada?

well i'm guessing you spend less time on a art like this than i could

*rajewel Mar 22, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I live in crazy land where you change the windows when there is snow outside : P But yea, otherwise known as Canada : P

This wasn't a terribly quick picture, it did take a while. The next one I did was quick though [link]

~9303kaha Mar 22, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

oh my god you're from canada!

um i was joking
