watercolor image of Abra 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.
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.
