Golden Afternoon on Ebisubashi
(2025)

watercolor image of Caterpie from Pokémon, and the painting's counterpart on the right from the original Japanese Pokémon Blue which later would be used for the international Red/Blue Versions of the Game Boy Game. The painting is done sticking to the pose of the original sprite, but mimicking artist Ken Sugimori's watercolor-style, and keeping the form of the Pokémon more closely to its official non-sprite art of the time.

Caterpie. The sprite, the official Sugimori, and now my copycat version, all have the same pose. I guess I just wanted to do a total imitation and see if I can get it close. How close did I get this pose anyway? Hmm.

Caterpie makes me think thoughts.

one of the coolest sprites of Blue. Alakazam. Fun story about the whole line's Japanese names... wait, I'm sure you know them already. Anyway, love these guys, maybe because they were the most useful on my first ever playthrough of Red in 1999. Yeah, type imbalance.

Damn son

I am looking for environmental artists, particularly people with a strong background in concept work for interior locations

Atmospheric/ Liminal vibes appreciated

Kadabra, the vacuum cleaner Pokémon. I mean look at the sprite, it looks like its left leg is a special vacuum cleaner its holding. I thought it must be another spoon in there somewhere.

I love Abra, he's so sleepy, and teleports, and looks cool. What even is he? No idea, but that's such a well thought out Pokémon design.

Also, this is my attempt at using the pose from the Sprite which is very very similar to Sugimori's actual drawing.

Jaws, same age. Still feel weirdly depressed after watching it to this day.

fourteen extra pumps!

Wigglytuff and its bulbous hypnotic eyes. I didn't make it as hypnotic.

Update on my painting quest. I haven't painted miniatures like this for 20 years, and I refurbished a Lizardmen Skink and am working on a Dark Eldar dude.

I can't believe they're both discontinued armies, I'm so old. Anyway, not bad for a second and third try! I'm excited for more:

Jigglypuff's harder to draw than you'd think.

yeah, fair enough. Was hoping for an alternative to XTwitter, but you're right about the notion! Thanks, btw!

Gudetama sleeping in his yolk.

A sleeping Gudetama. Had fun drawing of this lil guy.

Dugtrio is just three angry Diglett that unionized.

Always liked seeing the whole "biting the tail that's biting your tail" thing, Slowbro, man.

Also too bad Bsky has tanked in attention, it used to be pretty positively reliable with showing my works to people vs X/Twitter. Anyway, here you go!

hope Charmeleon's doing okay!
