Poke Island Series
Poke Tales and Poke Legends Nidos
Link To Full Image
A group pic of all the Nido characters of Poke Tales and Poke Legends by the end of the series. Everyone's in cute mode, as well. I could've arranged it better in retrospect, but here we are. Also, this doesn't include Poke Island Nidos. One day I'll do a group picture of all the major Nidos of the trilogy, but hey, I'm 2/3s there.
Mrs. Nidorina
Link To Full Image
While looking around your site I thought to myself, “Why aren’t there any super deformed pics of Mrs. Nidorina??” So to change that I drew a cute little pic/comic type thing for you. I heard that Mrs.Nidorina loves to clean up messes; I imagine she’d both be thrilled and agitated to see a giant mess like this one. More thrilled though. :3

I remember when my mom used to make church suits for women. I can't remember too well what they looked like, but I know she'd have customers come over to be fitted every now and again. She later downsized to hats and jewelry, but she's re-expanding to other avenues. I'd insert a plug here but I'm pretty sure this site targets all but the correct audience for that.
Nevertheless I wanted to draw a suit on Nidorina, not the one she wears in the series (which is green for one), but I thought it'd be nice and in character. She's kind of exaggeratedly drawn, but then again what pictures of mine aren't?
Super Version BUN-BUN
Link To Full Image
So, it's that time again, and I've made a picture I like more than both Bun-Bun and Mrs. Nidorina v3. I decided to think bigger for this one, and since each picture of the Nidorina series is a kind of tribute, I made the background images of Nidorina historical, or just for fun. Each of the background images I drew new, nothing pulled from archieves, and you probably already know I can emulate my old drawing styles. At the top, you have all the clearly defined old styles from 1999 to about 2006-ish (early Aqua Bunny/Late Creative Worlds). You can see that the earliest was clearly a misinterpretation of Sugimori's Nidorina made to be cuter, and honestly the closest to it (if I knew how to draw better). I thought Nidorina had a kind of lump for a horn, but it's just the angle the official art was drawn in. Later my own style started kicking in and this Nidorina officially had a small horn. The bottom's just fun drawings, of course including Muriel, an OC heavily based off of Nidorina (and practically her personification). And in the middle is the centerpiece, Mrs. "Bun-Bun" herself in a cutesy Manga style. I love it.

My VERY first picture that I have made for Aqua Bunny. It is Mrs. Nidorina, I used the old ‘how to draw guide’ to create this drawing of her. Hope everyone enjoys it. :)
Bun-Bun 2012
Link To Full Image
New favorite picture to beat over everyone's head for years GO. You know, years ago when I made the first Bun-Bun, or even earlier, this is the kind of art I would've definately paid for, commision wise. I'm glad I've finally reached this point. It's not overly detailed like Super Version BUN BUN, but just enough to probably pass on a site like Pixiv (that's all I ever wanted, really). Like the original Bun-Bun, I wanted it to have that similar anime cuteness. And like all Bun-Buns, there's some extra doodles or whatever in the BG. This time, though, it's some slightly spruced up Nidorina comic bits from Poke Tales amd/or Legends (the artwork's unchanged). If you can make them out, I betcha they make Nidorina look a bit cracked or unstable. :) Heh heh heh... yeeaaah. Also, Nidorino comes off as a total butthole. Don't you just love how things turn out out of context? Seriously though Nidorina is/was slightly unstable. If you want to see the BG comics clearly, click here to see the image in its max size.

Get Thee Behind Me, Satan
Link To Full Image
When Poke Legends ended, Johto Pokemon were the last to have existed and assimilated onto the island. There's since been four more generations of Pokemon the islanders have never even heard of. The island denizens are very skittish about unidentified forms of life and the guardians are almost over protective. To put it into perspective, Poke Island as a whole just about lost its composure when Johto Pokemon started migrating in, panicking and jumping to the far out worst conclusions. That said, I thought it'd be funny to imagine what would happen if Nidorina came across any Vanillite. She'd either believe the spirits of ice creams devoured have come back to haunt her, or that this is merely temptation from Ol' Scratch himself trying to sway her off the course of healthier eating. The Vanillite should be read as squeaky voiced hyperactive fast talking cute things.

Tips For Healthier Living: Try a Parfait!

If you gotta have something sweet, try something light like a parfait with a mix of fruit, nuts and or granola! Nidorina's enjoying a peach walnut parfait. And for the record, Nidorina's favorite fruit is and always has been peaches. The more you know. Here's one variant without a background.
Cutesy-Wutesy-Kissy-Wissy Face

"Oh poop. Rinie, I've run out of sugar. D: Can you come give me some?" Nidorina is far from subtle, but at least we know the passion is there. Beyond Nidorino's surface level shyness, he's more than happy to oblige. He has what I'd call a kissably cute wife. You know the type, the ones husbands can't stop kissing on, even in public. Just be careful, Nidorino, once you start it's hard to stop!

Nidorina is Mega Audino?
Link To Full Image
Have a slightly-better-than doodle. Audino was one of those Pokemon I glanced over in Pokemon Y, but I watched the anime episode where it Mega Evolves and oh my goodness. I can’t say for certain but I’m sure I died, especially after seeing the heart on the bunny like footies. It might have topped Mawile and Kangaskhan as best Mega (I need to participate in a new Pokkedex(y)). Needless to say I need to give this Pokemon another look.
I figured Nidorina would want to be just as cute, even if Audino and Mega Evolution are anachronisms in this series. Just for fun, now I wonder what a unique “Mega Evolution” would look like on her, based on her personality (there’d be a heart motif no doubt). That or an Ash-Greninja deal. Maybe I’ll doodle something some day and see how much cute I can cram into her design. Or maybe someone else can take a stab at it if they want. Or maybe nothing will happen. Who knows what comes next on this crazy planet.

If you ain't got that swing. This is my part of a full blown art trade with Patrick who draws very nice pokemon pictures, for my end of the trade he wanted me to draw his Nidorina as a fancey jazz singer. I was listening to Ella Fitzgerald for research, inspiration and then it switched to someone singing Mack the Knife "Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe" and then I had to draw a Sharpedo in the back wailing on the sax, though I did a terrible job coloring his saxophone. Although Im terrible at backgrounds I think this is one of my better ones to date. By GoblinHordeStudios

Radio Nidorina 2010
Link To Full Image
Nidorina is a peppy and friendly young adult who, in the end, usually does the right thing. She tends to be playfully contrary, which may come off as annoying if you can't take a teasing. Nidorina seems to love music, and can often get lost in the rhythm. What's her favorite types of music, you ask? The type of music that tends to overpower her and get her body moving, such as house, trance, rave, and dance. Editorial note: Nidorina's come a long way. You know, I dunno if I ever said this, but I'm actually rather glad there are fans of "Nido-san" (or AU for some reason) because honestly, if people didn't pay it much attention, I'd've still left it alone like I originally had (and unlike Poke Island I didn't have any attachment to it). Nidorina was more or less known before as combatant who actually opposed to fighting, and could miraculously cut hair, and played big sister. Generally. But these days I've developed her more or less away from that do-it-all angle (much like I did Charlotte) and essentially she's much more like a normal, but relatable young adult. Granted I haven't depicted this much yet in comics currently on site, but trust me, it's where she's headed. And I like to base characters off of real people, not stereotypes, because life has the most interesting people and stories already, and I like to capture that essence in my characters (moreso since the past couple of years). Because of that, I can honestly say I've grown more attached to "Nido-san", (a nickname I hardly even refer to anymore outside of clarity reasons, and, respectfully, she doesn't even like it ("AAUUGHHH I'M NOT JAPANESE!")) because like the Nidorina before her, putting realism into a character really makes them sing. So, I thank you for your appreciation, I couldn't've gotten here without it.
Radio Nidorina 2010 Edit

We play the hits all night long, baby. I actually like this one better, despite the original having more work put into it. I was going for something a bit more graphic designy. And it's official. Pokemon belong in urban environments. Everything does. Cities rock so hard.
Two Sides of Charlotte
Elegant Gothic
Link To Full Image
I find these days a lot of inspiration comes from stuff my sister likes (even if not in direct relation). She buys Japanese fashion magazines, and it pretty much got me aquainted with Gothic Lolita. I actually find it cute, to be honest. Maybe because the Japanese girls dress more like drab porcelain dolls than any western notion of "goth" (for the most part). I find that fits Charlotte more anyway, considering she's hardly a "dark" character (heck, is anybody?), but closer to an unsettling weird. Like, Charlotte would fit more into Coraline than Nightmare Before Christmas, if you understand what I mean.
Shelter Charlotte
Tita Nium (but Not Actually...)
Link To Full Image
This is actually Tita Nium. There couldn't be a more perfect character match than Tita Nium and Charlotte. So why not just fuse them (and I suck at gijinka, so getting more Tita than Lottie's not an option)? I've been following Otomedius from the sidelines ('cause some of us don't have Japanese XBox360s), but Tita's character evolution from Gorgeous to Excellent is spot on. She went from emotionless girl to the weird space case girl who gives awkward smiles over the span of one game (she still delivers lines with halfhearted apathy, though). I mean, come on, LOOK AT THAT POSTURE (it's even slouchier in the character select). The hair's bloomin' similar too, even the pig tails look like how I draw flopped Nidorina ears. Now, I'm not much for, pardon me, "boob shooters", but Otomedius is an offshoot of Parodius, which in turn is an offshoot of Gradius, which I happens to be a series I keep tabs on. Unfortunately (IMO), Otome is 5 times the fan service and like, a third of the funny Parodius is, but hot dog I was sold when they referenced the heck out of Xexex. I mean, my God. It's, like, only one of my favorite games.
Some Cute Chick Named Nidorina
Link To Full Image
I like drawing females. I think my two most favorite groups of living things to draw are females and children. I'm also non-partial to species. Humans, animals, shoot I'll draw a set of toasters with faces, and they'd probably be children, because kids are inherently funny iRL. I focus on the feeling of the subject, not what the subject is (unless it's huge, gritty and realistic, to which my attention span can't be bothered). It occured to me one day when I was working on my sketches for this comic I'm doing (an original work) that I don't have a lot of male characters, or sketches of generic guys for that matter. One reason being that a lot of art blogs that I view now and then tend to be by women illustrators, and make up a high percentage of my inspiration. There's just something about the way they color and draw, like I swear it's something women have that men don't, and it's always visually appealing. Life studies, pin-ups, unicorn doodles, whatever, it all just works. It speaks to my tastes of careful coloring and a cute appeal (even if they don't want to admit it). And it goes without saying that these girls are typically drawing girls themselves. But to be fair, there's a plethora of great male artists, specifically those who can create similar works.
Development Cycle of a Cute Chick
Link To Full Image
While working on this piece, I really liked the way the work looked at different stages, so I saved them and put it together here so you can have a look too. True story: While the concept of this picture was in my head all week, I finally thumbnailed it out it on my DS. While waiting to get a haircut. You can't tell me portable gaming devices don't have a use. The construction version adds the tail and spikes (among other details). Doing so required me to close off the pant crease, so her butt looks big in the rough draft (it's not technically supposed to be that way, don't start :I). I will admit I was going for tight-waisted jeans to fit around her hips, as shown in the DS concept. It's interesting to me that I continue to develop any character I draw, original or fan based, both actively and passively. And by passive, I mean the changes can be indirect, such as within sketches, doodle skits, or some other kind of one-off outside of the series proper. It's like they grow as I do, only the foundation ever stays consistant. I may've said this already, but Nidorina today is a lot different than she was back when Aqua Bunny started in 2006. Today, she's what I would refer to as a "cute girl", which if I had to choose a favorite character archetype, this would be it. By cute I don't mean adorable-cute or attractive-cute, I mean the silly, fun, and a bit unusual ("quirky", but I tire of that term). The kind who's feminine but not overly girly-girl, and probably has an equal amount of male and female friends. These are traits of Nidorina from the get go anyway, but I'm starting to make it more believable in comparison to young women in real life, and less generic cartoon protagonist. I no longer care about the ACTION!Girl side of Nidorina, but it's an important part of her character history, so I'm not out and out retconning it. I capture Nidorina as a "cute girl" here with her bright eyes and sincere big smile, but I don't make her so adorable-cute that she starts to appear prepubescent. Her body language counters by saying "yes, I am a young adult". Other changes to Nidorina of note include me not drawing the Pink Bow item nearly as much, and "Nido-san" dying out as a nickname. But you'll know it's her due to her default hairstyle, her unique ears, and her spot pattern when you can see it.
Meganekko? No.

I dunno what it is about girls wearing headphones, especially manga girls, but it's always cool. Nidorina is cool, I'm just adding two and two together. Well, maybe she isn't "cool" anymore so much as just fun to hang out with, but she still loves her music all the same (I think she's slowly turning into a (and I use this with extreme looseness) "hipster". I DID say I was basing her on people I know). So yeah, it's basically lol headphones girl but with Nidorina. But the truth is that she still likes headphones that let her feel the music, not those pitiful earbuds, and unlike those mock iPod illustrations in the aughts, expensive headphone illustrations will never go out of style as long as there's any song worth listening to. Anyway, a reimagining of Radio Nidorina 2010, but way better. I think this needs to be a theme. I demand more Nidorina with headphones. >:|

And then something very strange and funny happened when i was playing my Pokémon Diamond Nuzlocke. Something that remembered me this awesome website. Something connected to my favourite character overall: Charlotte. I looked up at my very firsts works that i posted here and i was like "Oh god why I did those" and realizing again that i can't use only paint and a tablet to make decent art. Then i started laughing and my 3DS music player was playing Ghetsis's theme. So i started drawing this. It's nothing special but i hope you like it. Almost it's a signal that i am not dead :3

As such, I figured it was about time I drew something again. I hope you enjoy! :)
ASCII Cute Chick

Under most circumstances, I'd never allow a derivative to make it into fan art, regardless of who's responsible. However, I really wanted to display it somewhere, and I don't have a really good outlet for that otherwise (Tumblr aside, that's meant to play catch up, not to be current). It's Cute Chick, one of my favorite works from the current gallery, but done completely with typed characters. The original is huge, and I had to scale it down for the purposes of upload requirements. It makes it that much harder to tell that it's made from text, but take my word for it. I guess you could say that words were used to define exactly what a cute chick is, besides being a term that's not entirely PC.

Blonde Style

Our favorite brunette, or should I say bluenette (:corny:) decided to dye her hair blonde and be weird for some reason. Just another day. Could it just be a marketing tactic for her salon, or has she just been following too many alternative bloggers? Funnily enough, this is based on real experience. Then again, almost everything I do for these characters is. By the by, I want that kick-booty shirt. I originally considered a (Real) Dark Matter print over Kracko, but I figured it would be mistaken for a flower.

Pop Star is known to be a planet for its dream like environments and surreal landscapes, colorful flora and fauna and an abundance of star shaped everything, including unexplainable phenomena.

The "stars" aren't tangible in and of themselves, as they pass right through a person's body, but one can still see this bright, shimmering, almost hazy and dreamy display of beauty!

I did a lot of initial sketches of them actually up at the food truck ordering/picking up their food, but, let's just say I couldn't really get the truck to turn out very well.

I hope that you like it anyway (even without the actual truck)! Actually attempting a full background for once I think was a good experience for me and this was pretty fun to color as well. I hope you enjoy it :)

Nidorina's gotta channel that self expression and free spirit into something. Not everyone has hair or something worth stylizing, though, so Kine just gets a wig and Kirby gets his Wheel Ability hat.

Nidorina and Didi love hot dogs, so nostalgic! They'll eat any kind. Today, it's just a regular old beef chili dog. Nothing fancy like rattlesnake or boar or, their personal favorite, venison.

All of Kine's leading females were either taught or already knew at least Charm and Attract, except Charlotte, who only specializes in making things cease to exist. What's that you say? Little Vulpix too? Oh you better believe it (in her case, it's variations of the same move, but it's the youngsters you gotta look out for. They're the ones that specialize in using cute to game the system). As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and I'm sure none of these upstanding citizens would dare abuse that power. Ok, so would you believe me if I said that only Nidoqueen's the responsible one? But I suppose you would tell me that was a given. The rest are manipulating their way in front of lines at the amusement park, and Charlotte is staring at everyone going around in the ferris wheel.

It's unprecedented, but I'll take it, afterall, know one knows more about this than I do! However, the request (or perhaps challenge, even) was to feature Kirby's Poke friends as opposed to Kine's, as long as Espeon and Umbreon were present. Espeon, being a bubbly airhead (and perhaps a little slow), is actually a pretty fun character. She probably saw the most airtime of all Kirby's eons if only because she was anything but a everyman you could insert yourself into (like Charlotte), allowing her to just be a full on cartoon character (again, like Charlotte). Also Pitch because this is Dream Land, dang it.

What do you get when what's essentially a Japanese tween, a little black girl and the product of mad science combine their imaginations with their love of music? No, the answer isn't Jem, wise guy. I'll tell you! It's not J-Pop, it's Strawberry Milk Fantastic, the band that's who's sugar sweet feel good music will spread across the cosmos and flow smoothly into your eardrums like honey! And maybe get stuck there, too.
I've been sitting on this idea for about 3, 4 years tops as of this posting. Strawberry Milk Fantastic was going to cross universes, being a band between Charlotte and Lisa, but considering that Aqua Bunny had since opened up to include anything related to a series, I'm no longer forced to do Nidos for their own sake. Now it's self contained in one universe, although if SMF is recruiting, I'm sure I can bend the dimensions and include Lisa later on, considering she's twee enough to fit right in.

Story time can certainly be magical! I got to choose the story, so naturally, it had to be a take on The Last Unicorn. The only thing more odd than Sentret and Vulpix's dream itself is the crazy crossovers found in here. In any case, I had fun with this one!
An Alternate Universe's Cave Story?
Link To Full Image
Probably because I am currently attempting to cover all its songs, I did a crossover with these guys and the game featured here: Cave Story. AKA one of the best indie games ever conceived by a one man team. I highly recommend giving it a look.
Casting:
- Rina as the resident doofy-yet-dependable Curly Brace, who I figured would have an affinity to rescue every last unfortunate adorable creature present
- Rino as the main lead: "Mr Traveler," who I figured would't pass up the opportunity to be a vid-game protagonist who powers up by collecting what resemble Doritos
- Charlotte as resident Team Rocketesque member 1: Misery, who fits as a powerful mage (or mage-like in Lotte's case) and is chained to an extremely powerful arcane artifact. I noticed Lotte also could have also worked as our silent main protagonist; heck, it woulda worked as a sisterly dynamic. :3c
- Sentret as resident Team Rocketesque member 2: Balrog, since they have similar childish personalities, and when I saw the ref with Sentret flapping his arms, it sealed the deal for me
- and Kine as the game's nefarious antagonist: the Doctor, who I just wanted an excuse to draw the "leering overlooker with Gendo Ikari's glowing glasses"

Due to load times, you'll have to choose one of the above to see it in motion. The still image is just a placeholder. "It may sound strange, but I really love rainbows. Confidentially, I'm going to catch up to one and find its end, and I won't stop chasing after them until I do." This wasn't meant to be merely a gif I throw up onsite for its own sake, but more like animated fan art, since there's a clear story/explanation behind it. That is why I placed it here. Also, it's a pretty big file, so I don't think it's well suited to just post randomly. The city is a loose interpretation of downtown Billings, Montana, perhaps the closest urban area to the state park where the Schneiders take residence? It's so small, though, I'm sure Nidorina and Nidoran have complained that it's not a real city. Also, if you look just above Didi's legs, and lessen your focus a little, you'll notice a "wheel of feet" or circular effect.
Tea Love

For long time I was wondering how to make this drawing. The relationship of two sisters was new topic for me. I ran with the idea when I walked into the room with a cup of tea, and my older sister wanted to scare me, so she jumped out from behind the door. I scared and spilled a drink on myself. I was angry, but it helped me realize how it may be look like sister-sister relationship :3
When I drew it, I had a lot fun. Subject was not a stranger to me, and I love to draw nidos, because they are small, fatty and extremely charming :).
I was lucky, because Nini is my favorite of the whole Patrick's Nido-family.
I'm very happy that art-trade come to fruition! =D

This is my first time trying to create a large scene with several small pixeled characters. There were a lot of little scenarios with various characters I had in mind so I tried to include as many as i could. Because of that, there are some inconsistencies (Nidorino, Nidoqueen, and BKI working in the same building?) But I included them all in anyway just for the sake of having everyone there.

There’s nothing weird about being you, just be yourself, you’ll live a much longer, happier life. Now, I wonder how they made this trick work… I love working with the Schneider sisters. They’re always into doing something fun, and maybe a little bit weird to add a little spice to someone’s otherwise routine day. But they’re also really positive people (or Nidos, or whatever), which affects those around them. Love breeds love, you know. City backdrop from Superb Wallpapers.

Inspired by the previous XEXEX picture by DynamiteManEXE, I decided to go full on Cave here. I'll let you figure out the references. If you can't, Google things like "Cave bug girl" or, I'll give you this one, "Esprade". Or even "Cave shooting games" because I'll guarantee you'll find them all that way. Long story short, I love this company. It's a shame it had to go the way of "we're just doing mobile in Japan now". The games aren't even made by the same staff so all the post Saidaioujou efforts feel — unsurprisingly — devoid of magic. All that said, Cave? I recommend. Or rather, I reco-mmend, right? And if nothing else, just listen to some of the soundtracks from these games, especially anything Manabu Namiki is attached to. This is the kind of music I must have in my (larger effort) original games.

For those days where you're just feeling... blah. School, work, doing something meaningful, doing something pointless, you just can't bring it. This started as an announcement doodle that was merely in black and white, but after drawing it I couldn't stop coming back to it just to look at it. There's was something about it that held an appeal for me, I dunno if it was the straight out of bed sort of overall look everyone has or the faces (I love whatever's going on with Nidorina's mouth), or the sort of childishness behind it all that kind of shows that sometimes, even when you're an adult (typically a younger one), you're not all that removed from the way you were as a child. Anyway, I've wanted to finish this picture ever since and my first iteration of linelessness was pretty bad. But this being the time of experimentation, I found a tutorial that seemed worth trying on something, and I felt this was it! So I redrew the lineart to be less wonky and in a larger scale, but still kept the doodle nature of it intact. This one turned out real vibrant and pretty. Would use this technique again. Didi would be proud of my use of colors. Or would get hype off them. I'm not sure.

I don't know if I'd call Nidoran Schneider the Second socially awkward, but she certainly lacks self awareness. Maybe that's why Nidorina can handle Charlotte with such ease, she's essentially Didi who can't verbalize her thoughts, though if she could they'd make less sense because Charlotte is essentially alien and a newborn. Nidorina's non reaction is also my favorite part about this; for Nidoran Schneider the First, this is just to be expected. Afterall, Didi did choose to wear or even own a multitude of short shorts. I'm sure one comes in the loud rainbow variety. I'd guess Dee's to rainbows what Charlotte is to plasma balls, they seem to be some kind of stimulant. Finally, no, Nidorina does NOT know how to play keyboard. This is probably something she saw someone on the internet do, so she's trying it out for about a week before she gets bored and moves on, no doubt. Still in experiment phase, I promised an update, so I decided to post what I have so far. This one's a combination of "lessons". Still a lot more to do, blending, softening, adding lots of details, the background, maybe redoing the sky, appropriate speech implementaion... I left the sketch up on this one overlayed just so you can see a bit of where I was coming from. I sketched out the characters about three times to make sure they looked at their most appealing (granted, the first was pure placement). There's so much to talk about for this one. This is inspired by the Lake Shore Drive area in Chicago, location wise, and from the Girl's Day Mixed Nuts photo comic, my favorite of those, as I always love an amusing female cast. I'm not sure what the actual setting is for this picture, Didi lives with her family on Earth so perhaps it's just some vague city side coast, but it's not too late to Popstar it up and make things more celestial. Not as if these pictures are canon, anyway. Heck, that's why I make fan art myself. Doing the stuff I can't do in the comics. The finished version may also include more of the same Mixed Nuts girls in the background, not sure on that yet, but I really want to if they add to the pic and not take away from.

This was far more of a challenge than I thought. After choosing his adorable character Miltank Kobayashi, I was delighted to hear him pick this style. What a perfect fit! If I could remember how I did it, that is. After revisiting the original file, sketching, erasing, deleting layers, and roughing up some detail (the lines came out too clean at first), this is the closest I can get! Who knew that replicating a style you created yourself on a whim would be so tricky o_O

I'm certainly not doing it over), but it's probably more fitting this way considering what it's based off of. Granted, it was always gonna be a little spicy anyway. :P

Dori's genes seem to be in full force, here. At the end of the day, though, the point was that Nidorina still looks like a super chipper cartoon character regardless of how "thicc" she was/is. A sultry model look? Get out of town. No amount of bikini dancing is gonna break her character! I think all the characters were gonna do the monkey dance, but Nidorina ended up getting a whole lot more than that.

An early beta for Pokemon Gold and Silver has been found, and it it was a bunch of Pokemon that never got used and no one cares about. The real magic was in the items!

Why draw one way when you can draw twelve ways? Even then, I could've chose some different options, but I character matched it a bit, though. Since I left the following information off of the original pic, I'll add the creation dates to this one. In order of appearance: 1999 - Agnes (Poke Island), "Mrs." Nidorina (Poke Tales); 2001 - Nidorina "Nido-san", Charlotte (Poppistar/Alternate Universe); 2002 - Miranda (no series); 2004 - Nidozilla (originally none. Later, Other Alternate Universe); 2005 - Riri (Chibi's Corner), Reilina (Other Alternate Universe), Mandie (unused Pokemon college character); 2006 - Chibi-Chibi (representative), Carmela (Carmela: ¡Alcance Las Estrellas!), Lisa (unknown).
... And a Bunch of Nidoran, Too!
Link To Full Image
Aqua Bunny isn't just centered on Nidorina anymore. So why not introduce you to this cast of cute and happy Nidoran? These are all my Nidoran characters. Here's what's intresting, all but one are from the Poke Island Series, so I guess I haven't been as Nidoran friendly since then. Here's the creation date rundown: In order of appearance: 1999 - Melody, Rondo (Poke Island); 1999-2000(?) - Nidoran (F), Martha, Gerald, Nidoran (M), Dot, Needles (Poke Tales); 2000-2001(?) - Diana, Nina*, Chaud* (Poke Legends); 2006 - Angelina (Carmela: ¡Alcance Las Estrellas!). *Chaud may have appeared first, too lazy to confirm. And now, some really quick background info. Melody and Rondo are child siblings, but importantly Snow Nidoran, a species of Nidoran with a thicker, white coat living on Mt. Frosty. They lead a choir of other Snow Nidoran kids, and this choir is known as the Snow Children (so now, the fictional Love and Peace song title should make sense). Nidoran (female) kick started Poke Tales, really, and my love for Nidos. Martha and Gerald Faurnsworth are an older Nidoran couple who fell on hard times. They're also one of the few characters in the series with a surname. Nidoran inadvertantly got them back from rags to riches, but the Faurnsworths are very generous and pleasant to be around. Nidoran (male) is a really nice guy, and a bit of a thrill seeker. Dot is the Nidoran family's only child. She started off a bully, but just became talky. Needles is the Nidorino family's first born. He's very shy, but likes sweets. Diana is the Nidorino family's second born. She's very sweet natured. She looks a lot like her mom in this picture, too. Nina is the Nidorino family's third born. She's fragile. Chaud is the child of Nidoking's family. Nidoqueen thought it'd be fun to have a baby just like her friends Nidoran and Nidorina. Let's just say the Nidoroyals weren't well prepared. Chaud's a little whiny. Angelina is Carmela's childhood friend. She, like Carmela, has a pretty snappy attitude, but she believes in family and keeping traditions, and has an optomistic personality hidden inside her tough exterior. Be sure to check the Character Bios for more info, even in the future.

Cartoonists, illustrators and animators my get a kick out of the top image. It was both really funny and absolutely horrifying to draw. I need to cleanse myself. I remember I saw on Yahoo's homepage one day a promo image for Shrek 4, and Shrek was giving the 'Tude look. I mean, come on! Is there anything they DON'T use this on? Anyway, next to it is self redemption, but an important note in case anybody felt like doing Nido-san fan art(?). Nidorina is actually very girly in demeanor, despite not being one in personal tastes. I like to derive personalities from real life people. Everything else is everything else, but I know you're lovin' the extra rabbity Nidorino. Made just because I know how much everyone wants it. ;)
Charlotte, Charlie
Link To Full Image
Of all your nido-characters, I've always had a biting urge to draw Charlotte. Maybe it's the character design, or maybe it's just the last couple of AU comics (which are awesome beyond further description). To spare some more unnecessary rambling, I was recently prompted to draw her when I realized that my own nido-character, Charlie, had a name that is strikingly similar to Lottie's. ... I... swear that wasn't intentional. For whatever reason I never caught on. ^^;
I ended up drawing both of 'em, but I'm not so pleased with how my own character turned out. In hindsight, that's probably because I'd put so much effort into making Charlotte look somewhat accurate that I didn't have the willpower to make my own nido look any good. XD

TENNY ROP
Link To Full Image
Yeah, this picture would be better suited for Creative Worlds, but bear with me. Seeing as I could work Tetran into some wordplay, it wasn't long before I considered Tenny Rop (aka Tetran 2). It was gonna be piloted by a Buneary long ago, but then I realized that l/rop wasn't anywhere to be found in its name (including the original). Lopunny didn't sit along side Nidoran very well like a Buneary would've, so I decided I would make her a boss-ish character, and give her an actual name. Lopear is the lieutenant of the Jade Rabbit (moon rabbit) fleet, which I jokingly decided were all but useless to the Bacterian army. Having recently seen some Otomedius X gameplay, it gave me the "oh what the heck" boost I didn't necessarily want to finally draw this out. So, here it is, a parody of a parody of a parody. Excuse the lack of a real comanding outfit, no one wears anything in Otome (not literally). This piece itself still has a Parodius-ish vibe because dangit, they should've continued that series instead. (People viewing this): "Why can't he draw normal Pokemon art like everybody else?"
Kent Berkley!
Link To Full Image
I don't really draw Nidoking, I think we've established that. But between a generic one, the one from Poke Island and Kent, I'd have to say I actually enjoy the entire concept of Kent. The PI one looks just like a generic one anyway, 'cept maybe friendlier. On the other hand, Kent's got an interesting face. And that's just for starters. And then the idea of this stoic but respectable, several generations old Nidoking who basically lives to do his trade in carpentry... I dunno, it's kind of funny to me because his demenor would be the type of the predictible old world hard worker who takes pride in the self made man (and whatever counrty he lives in). This would be normal if it wasn't for the fact that the rest of the world has moved on to the information age. So I felt like drawing him getting right to work, because back in his day, a man had to live by his principles.

Meet Cute
Link To Full Image
This is a rare sight to see, a human character on Aqua Bunny!
Let me begin with this, I love Alternative Universe and Charlotte. It’s one of the best webcomics I’ve ever read. And Charlotte is probably the most well developed fan character for pokémon I’ve seen as well; I think she’s better developed then Mewtwo or some of the more “important” characters of the anime series.
The boy on the right is Willis. He’s (obviously) an experiment gone wrong and he is heavily inspired by Charlotte. Instead of being a Creature of Judgment, Willis was meant to be invincible/immortal human. A lot of the original ideas that the organization had for him failed (For an example, Willis isn’t immortal or invincible, but he does have some pretty kick-butt psychic powers) and mistreated him, which later lead him to run away and meet the other main characters of the series that he’s in.
Since Willis is a tribute to Charlotte, I thought it would be cute for him and her to meet. If they really did meet they would probably become really close friends and maybe even have a brother/sister like relation ship with each other.

And hey look, that Nidoran male over there is Andy, another character you aren't technically supposed to know exists yet, but yeah, one of Nidorina's younger brothers. He fits the style, though. You know, I wouldn't mind an AU or an overall Creative Worlds/Aqua Bunny beat 'em up/platformer using this style. Could be awesome. The soundtrack needs to sound like DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu/Deathsmiles, or anything Manabu Namiki (and Kudo and Chiba) lays his (their) hands on.

It appears that these days, "The Big Three" have become "The Big Six", and I'll most likely cap it here. Nevertheless, Aqua Bunny wouldn't be half as interesting without the contributions of these characters in whatever entertainment medium they best reside in (and what they've inspired in other fans to create for themselves). In fact, I wouldn't run this site (STILL) if it was purely a site for Pocket-men facts and figures. I have a lot of fun with these Nidorina, but that's no slight towards the other family members (the everyman Nidorino, the other Nidorino who's a loafer, and Ms. Nakamura, a pleasant but busy bee of a Nidoqueen to name a few). In appreciation of these characters, here's a bright, candy colored pic for you, full of happy smiling Nidorina (Charlotte's not unhappy...) Which one is your favorite?

For the Hi-Res, Far Too Large Version, Click Here
Created for a Tumblr marathon known as POKEDDEXY. The point was to draw each of your favorite Pokemon of each type, and then some as you'll see down the line. I didn't actually finish it until January, 2014, due to a late start, other obligations, and the fact that a portion of the art actually has some thought in it rather than really fast doodles. Well, of course I was gonna want to use them later, might as well make them at least half-presentable. This picture was created in the style of Pop'n Music/Rhythmic Pop'n. Patterns from webtreats ETC. Also, inspired by an official piece of PNM promo art, so there's some similarities. I'm still taken aback by the fact that there's Pokemon beyond Generation III in this picture. Gosh, who'da thunk it? There's also a bit of cosplay for those of you who also revel in obscure Japanese fun n' games, and just for kicks, two extras decided to... Pop'n... for a cameo (who won't be pictured otherwise). :D Not ashamed of that, nope.
December 1st - Butterfree
Link To Full Image
It's only fitting that this kicks off with Butterfree, probably one of the absolute earliest (reoccuring) characters in any Pokemon inclusive series I've had. Butterfree has also been my favorite Bug for the longest time, with Parasect closely behind. Butterfree gained the title of "Psychic Butterfree" from the Poke Forest denizens because of his immense power and apparent "Chosen One" status. He's been appointed as the guardian of Poke Forest by Lady Mew, meaning that there are other areas of Poke Island with their own guardians to keep order. Butterfree is from Poke Island.
December 2nd - Yami
Link To Full Image
This one called for Dark Type, a type of Pokemon I don't typically care about because I'm not in high school anymore. :P That said, I always felt Sableye was more solid than gossamer, so the traditional idea of "ghost" doesn't come up, and it just brings Dark to the forefront instead, Yami's soul stealing powers aside. Speaking of soul consumption, don't look into his eyes, it just... happens, if you do. This tends to leave him lonely and friendless. Yami is from Chibi's Corner.
December 3rd - Dragonite
Link To Full Image
The cuter dragons of the series I like. Dratini and Goomy's family are all neat, and so is Flygon (I forget if Vibrava's a dragon, and Trapinch certainly isn't, but he counts as a favorite elsewhere). However, familiarity makes me side with Dragonite, whereas a newcomer like Goodra, who for all intents and purposes is even cuter (a cuter fully realized dragon than Dragonite? And people thought Dragonite was as twee as it was gonna get), doesn't get the bill because I'm just not familiar enough with it. Needs more character attachment, that Goodra. This Dragonite is rather run of the mill, laid back and easy going like a beach bum. However, you'll find he has the fortitude and smarts of an archaeologist and adept treasure hunter when it comes to learning about who he is as a "dragon". Dragonite is from Poke Island.
December 4th - Anabelle
Link To Full Image
It's weird that both Flaaffy and Ampharos are on this list. Ampharos is more of a technicality which I'll explain later. Right now, let's talk Flaaffy. Of all electric types, Flaaffy has been my favorite hands down probably forever. It's kinda plump though, which if anything helps it's case for cuteness. Anabelle is a woman of southern charm and generosity, despite not having much. She's another one of those domesticated types in a wild world, like a lot of the Poke Forest regulars. A diamond in the rough, if you will. Anabelle is from Poke Legends.
December 5th - Chanel
Link To Full Image
The last time I saw a Pokemon for the first time and declared it mine had to be Kirlia back in the 3rd generation. Well, Aromatisse was that for the 6th. I tend to have a thing with faving Pokemon the majority ignores, though. I sure know how to pick 'em, but to that end, it just makes me feel that much better about working them out to an interesting degree. Everyone and their mom has an Umbreon character, how can you stand out? Favorite Fairy by and large, and she kicks some butt too. Chanel's a small town girl looking to make a name for herself as one of Paris's youngest up and coming showgirls. Not the burlesque kind, you. More like a Radio City Rockette. She can sing, she can dance, she can act and she can perform magic! Alas, no one cares. But hey, well that's life too~. Chanel has yet to appear in any official work, though she will in the near future. Currently, she is inspired by the Aromatisse of the same name in my copy of Pokemon Y.
December 6th - Hitmontop
Link To Full Image
"If I don't keep up with my training, my Trainer is going to haunt me in my sleep..." Hitmontop is mostly a background character, but he's a nice guy otherwise, and pretty loyal to Son of Nightmare. All of SoN's Pokemon are close to him because he takes Pokemon training seriously, maybe too much so at times. Hitmontop is from Alternate Universe.
December 7th - Vulpix Anderson
Link To Full Image
In a move that surprises no one, I reveal my favorite Fire type to be Vulpix. Add Vulpix to the list of Pokemon that I've loved for as long as they existed. Vulpix starts off in the series as the Cute Kid, but like Eevee and Joy in Poke Tales through Legends, you can noticably tell her growing older, even within the series' floating timeline (very few characters in AU canonically age). Either way, she remains very stable, but knows how to just be a kid and have some fun while that ride lasts. Like Nidorina, she's known for having several hairstyles because if you've got it, flaunt it. Vulpix is from Alternate Universe, and is also inspired by the Pokemon of the same name from my copy of Pokemon Silver.
December 8th - Fletchling
Link To Full Image
Most of the small birds are cute, and that's good enough for me, but Fletching takes it to a whole other level, especially with that beautiful chirp. I didn't want to evolve mine, but life goes on, you know? This Fletchling is just a minor character, I could've drawn any of the siblings, really. Fletchinder will be more important, but Fletchling still wins out as a Pokemon in general. Fletchling has yet to appear in any official work, though he will in the near future.
December 9th - Haunter
Link To Full Image
Haunter barely holds the title of favorite Ghost, as I may have discovered his replacement in Pokemon Y after this was drawn. However, like Goodra, character familiarity is necessary. It's also funny that Haunter has this really cocksure look on his face, but hasn't visibly won Death Reaper JOE any battles. That being said, he's his next most reliable Pokemon, second only to Misdreavus in that she actually has power to back her loyalty. The rest of them have personality quirks or ego issues that get in the way. Haunter is from Alternate Universe.
December 10th - Lilia
Link To Full Image
Oh hey I haven't seen you in a while. She's ceratinly brimming with optimism and positive energy, which might be considered refreshing compared to other Chikorita characters outside of Chicolita. Perhaps because this is one case of the game writing the character for me? Here's some useless trivia. Did you know that, if we're not counting Diary of a Gamer Girl, there's at least one Chikorita in each series? This is being generous and including Happa the slime-Chikorita from Chibi's Corner. Even Vulpix doesn't have this track record and I like Vulpix way more. Lilia hails from Carmela: ¡Alcance las Estrellas! and is inspired by the Chikorita of the same name from my copy of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team.
December 11th - Nok-Nok
Link To Full Image
It's the comically large head that makes him adorable. Nok-Nok can't say anything other than "Nok-Nok", which is why he's called that (also a diminutive of Nuckrar. Many of the Chibis have names borrowed from the Japanese originals vs. the English localizations). He's a lot smarter than he looks, but nobody takes him seriously because he can't articulate. Nok-Nok is from Chibi's Corner.
December 12th - Lapras
Link To Full Image
I really can't think of any other Ice type I like more than Lapras, who even then comes across as more Water. Lapras seems to suffer from loneliness. Coming from a series where Pokemon are largely creatures of habit, they see this giant sea monster and keep their distance, making up rumors and tall tales rather than, you know, actually talking to her. That's pretty rough, wouldn't it be nicer if more people talked to you than about you (positive or not)? She treasures all the geniune friends she makes. Lapras is from Poke Island.
December 13th - Miltank Kobayashi
Link To Full Image
Miltank's rather deceptively charming. Then you remember she's 15. Otherwise, she's a rather patient and positive character outmatched by Espeon (granted, Espeon is, uh, "special"...), and she's smarter than she looks or even acts. It's hard to make her upset, and even harder to make her angry, despite Kine's never-ending onslaught of verbal abuse and Chikorita's less than kind attitude towards her. Like Kine and Nidorina alike, Miltank tends to take a moral high ground unlike Nidorino and Sentret. Miltank is from Alternate Universe, and is also inspired by the Pokemon of the same name from my copy of Pokemon Silver.
December 14th - Nidorino Eto
Link To Full Image
Yeah yeah we all know about Nidorino already. Just let him sleep. What I can say is that, like Vulpix, he's maturing as well, though the changes are more sudden than gradual. Also picked for favorite Poison because I had better slots in mind for other Nidos. Since I've worked with Nidorino(s) much longer than Nidoran Male, Nidorino happened to get the top billing between them. Nidorino is from Alternate Universe, and is also inspired by the Pokemon of the same name from my copy of Pokemon Silver.
December 15th - Kali
Link To Full Image
When the extraordinary has become routine and eccentrics are commonplace, you run out of cares to give. Therefore, Kali's probably the most stable character or the series, and definitely a person you want to stick with considering how odd everyone else tends to be. Granted, BaBeat isn't known for it's stability and everyone is aware that reality can change at a moment's notice, but that doesn't mean people don't still freak out over it. Kali's reached a point now where she's just... seen it all. Kali is from Chibi's Corner.
December 16th - Dwebble
Link To Full Image
Not much to say other than the fact that I like it because it's like a Parasect lite. Also, this Dwebble is female, but one of the very few without tertiary sexual characteristics. Dwebble has yet to appear in any official work, though she will in the near future. Currently, she is inspired by the Pokemon of the same name in my copy of Pokemon Y.
December 17th - Mona
Link To Full Image
It's pretty funny that long after I grew out of the Kirlia-Mawile shtick from the early Creative Worlds era that my favorite Psychic and Steel types would still be Kirlia and Mawile. Admittingly, they're hard to top in terms of cuteness and design accessibility and familiarity (Kirlia is simpler than Gardevoir, but is more identifiable as humanlike than Ralts). I'm not even sure Mawile as a species have many rivals in the world of cute Steel types. I guess that's why adding Fairy as a secondary type just made sense, because it was sort of the outlier. The less said about Mona, the better. As I've written before, Mona isn't a Pokemon, she's a doggone experience. She'll fill your life with excitement, but that's usually followed by regret and/or remorse... and possibly a lot of apologizing. Mona is from Chibi's Corner.
December 18th - Mama and Baby Horsea
Link To Full Image
Like Vulpix and Nidorina, Horsea has had the title of favorite water type for years. I just don't draw them
often. These two aren't really main characters, but are a good example of what Poke Tales was known for, which is to provide a story for all Pokemon, even if this placed them into One-Off status. The Horseas show up more than once, but they didn't do anything you haven't seen Nidorina do with her children, just under the sea and a with a lot more danger. Mama and Baby Horsea are from Poke Tales.
December 19th - Bubbles and Shockette La'Vee
Link To Full Image
Possibly the earliest characters to have a surname. I tend to get "the meh" in regards to the Eevee line generically, so it's fortunate that I still have an attachment to long established Eeveeon characters long before the family's popularity exploded and my interest dwindled. My favorite Eeveeon, however, fluctuates between these two because of these two. I can't really choose who I like more considering that I might change my mind tomorrow. Therefore, it's two for the price of one. Funnily enough, my very first favorite was Flareon, and by extension, Rosie. Not much to say here that I haven't gone into detail about before. Bubbles is the least girly-girl of the girly-girls and most artsy, Shockette has a Tsundere thing going (not on the cliched end, but she still runs hot and cold in a wild, then down-to-earth way. She has no love interests). Rosie, unpictured, is conceited but in an oblivious means-no-harm way, and cares a lot for her sisters. Joy, also unpictured, is sassy and the odd man out. All of 'em (cept Joy, being a child) are pretty girls, but aren't out to capitalize on that despite the fact that they very well could. They're basically anti-spoiled girls. The Eevee Sisters (La'Vee Siblings) are from Poke Tales.
December 20th - Emolga
Link To Full Image
Emolga takes the cake on cuteness for Pikachu knockoffs, and the one from the B/W anime is such a shyster from what I've seen. What is there not to love? This Emolga's sort of a distaff counterpart to Sentret, though not as literal. She's even younger, and really just wants to play around in this big new world she's in. Let's just hope she doesn't grow up to be greedy and cynical like her predecessor. Emolga has yet to appear in any official work, though she will in the near future. Currently, she is inspired by the Pokemon of the same name in my copy of Pokemon Y.
December 21st - Smoochum
Link To Full Image
"This isn't fun anymore! I don't want to be a Snow Queen!" Smoochum and Tyrogue get the most mileage design wise as humanlike children. This also takes place in the same location that Lapras is in, except Smoochum's looking up at an unpictured Jynx, who is the guardian of Mt. Frosty, alongside Articuno. Smoochum, however, doesn't want to assume the role of a guardian in the future. She just wants to play like the other kids. Revisiting all these old characters is a lot more fun than I should be allowed to have. Smoochum is from Poke Legends.
December 22nd - Ampharos
Link To Full Image
A jaunty gait, a hearty laugh, and a luxurious head of long flowing fleece. Ladies and gentlemen, Ampharos is back. The reason Ampharos was chosen as a favorite Mega Evolution is mostly because it's a concept that is way too new, and it's not like I finished Pokemon Y or even battle enough to care when this picture was made. In fact, the only other Mega Evo I've touched so far was Lucario, and I just don't care enough about Lucario. Mawile, Kangashkan and Gardevoir could've been considered had I actually reached them. It also helped that at the least, Ampharos retained its charm and simplicity to a degree. I don't recall much about Ampharos, being the Pokemon of the day in Poke Legends, but I think he was a beacon of some sort? That's gonna require me looking it up. What I can say is that he certainly never Mega Evolved. The concept was unheard of back then. Then again, so was any more than 251 Pokemon. Ampharos is from Poke Legends, whereas the Mega Evolution is mainly hypothetical.
December 23rd - Giselle
Link To Full Image
While I wouldn't say she was forgotten, Giselle was a character who was largely untouched since the end of Poke Legends. I always liked Girafarig in theory, I mean Kine had one in AU, though lumped with the rest of his background, seldom seen captures. It wasn't until I brought her back from the grave for Rhythmic Pop'n that I started to take reinterest in Giselle. She was mostly placed in that game as a left field "bet you didn't see this Pokemon coming" entry with a fitting song to go along with it. She has interactive potential, afterall. Giselle is sort of worldly in a more, wildlike way and isn't too interested in domestication when she can travel the world as she pleases. However, her tail is just antagonistic and hates everything, moreso if it makes Giselle happy. The tail intentionally drives any potential friends away just to keep Giselle alone. And when she's not being hateful, she's being a smartass. Perhaps that pun was intentional, I dunno anymore. It must be awful to live with a second head that goes out of its way to spite you. Giselle is from Poke Legends.
December 24th - Goku
Link To Full Image
If something like WarioWare were personified as a being that's typically silent, it would be Goku. Goku is all that Japanese bizzareness you may have seen in places, but as a character himself mostly stays in the background, so that when he does show up it's just that much stranger. Definitely the strangest and least consistent denizen of Dokio in that he may grow additional body parts he never had or go way way way off model for a panel, or just bend reality in anyway he feels like, all while not saying anything. You could say he's BaBeat in Pokemon form. Perhaps even the spirit of BaBeat? Gulpin's design is undeniably Japanese. It just has to be some kind of in-joke westerners aren't wise to. I gotta hand it to them for basing a creature off of either an emoticon or throwaway gag face, which is why Goku turned out to be the way he is, rather than playing the "eats everything" angle straight. I mean, so do a lot of Pokemon, there's nothing unique about that. Goku is from Chibi's Corner.
December 25th - Lady Mew
Link To Full Image
Having to watch over an entire private island is hard work, especially when you have to answer to higher ups like Houou. No one said this job was easy. Alternatively, I wanted to call this picture Pink Cloud.
Mew, much like many other type based favorite, has never been replaced as my favorite legendary. I find it hard to top. It's cute, it's design is so simple a child can draw it, and it learns everything. Lady Mew is from Poke Island.
December 26th - Bulba Clarke
Link To Full Image
Bulbasaur was my first starter ever back when Red and Blue were first released, and whenever I'm given the option to choose Gen I starters again, I always pick Bulbasaur without fail. Case in point, Pokemon Y. You don't know how happy I am that Sugimori made Bulbasaur cuter starting with the Fire Red/Leaf Green games. I'm never switching, now. Ms. Clarke is such a darling. If I ever had a Bulbasaur of my own (assuming Pokemon existed), I'd hope it was just as nice as she is. Despite being just as chatty as Nidorina with Nidorina, she still makes a nice, calmer contrast to her and the rest of the young adults. In fact she's probably closer to Nidoqueen, though a lot more outgoing and less introverted. Bulba is from Alternate Universe, and is also inspired by the Pokemon of the same name from my friend's copy of Pokemon Gold.
December 27th - Porygon
Link To Full Image
It's only fitting that I use pixels to illustrate Porygon, another ancient favorite who I still think is too cool for school. Seeing that he's composed of polygons, he can shapeshift and resize with relative ease so long as it's within his poly count. You know what makes illustrating Porygon better? Thunder Force IV BGM. Space Walk is the best thing to ever blast itself out of the YM2612. My apologies to Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage. Porygon is from Poke Island.
December 28th - Nidoran Schneider
Link To Full Image
Is it time for Saturday morning cartoons? Don't be ridiculous, they generally quit that a long time ago. No, this woman rolled out of bed at two in the afternoon on a Tuesday, now engrossed in midday airings of Steven Universe. A curiosity: if a Nidoran has bedhead, does that make them more lethal? Didi's been around on Aqua Bunny, despite lacking a canonical appearance. The officially unofficial Nidoran of AU, who's actually a one-off in the story she appears in. She and her sister get along so well, especially at a time when they need each other the most. Two peas in a pod, really, which shows that a familial bond can sometimes be the strongest one of them all. Didi is from Alternate Universe, but is currently in early bird cameo status.
December 29th - Sigilyph
Link To Full Image
I think this one called for scariest. TBH I don't really think any of them are scary except maybe Beedrill for practical reasons, but I'll compromise with "unsettling". When I first saw this thing pop up in Pokemon Y, I literally said to myself "what the hell is that thing~" in a low, uncertain tone. Considering I'm the type who barely says "hell" iRL, that's sort of a big deal. If MissingNo had a physical form, it'd look like Sigilyph, perhaps crossed with Claydol and Deoxys, which were Pokemon I used to consider weird back then. And that's on top of looking like Double from Skullgirls to begin with. Needless to say, I caught one, and now I'm rather attached to it having gotten past the fact that it just shouldn't be. Sigilyph has yet to appear in any official work, though he will in the near future. Currently, he is inspired by the Pokemon of the same name in my copy of Pokemon Y.
December 30th - Bellsprout Bell
Link To Full Image
Of all entries, this is the only one that was chosen due to outside influence. Maybe because I don't really care for big musclebound Pokemon almost as a rule. Granted, "Hardcore" is up for interpretation. I just went with what I knew, and I find Bellsprout to be rather admirable. He's an approachable all around cool guy, but is otherwise really disciplined. He's like Ryu with a social life. Despite his frail body, he can still hold his own with swiftness and cunning. Bellsprout, as a character, has gotten me interested in Bellsprout as a species. It's pretty much the Nidorina cycle all over again. Bellsprout is from Alternate Universe, and is also inspired by the Pokemon of the same name from my friend's copy of Pokemon Gold.
December 31th (Option A) - Nidorina
Link To Full Image
I hope no one's surprised. Nidorina will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be replaced as my all time favorite. Too many years in the running that can't be undone. The hardest part was actually choosing WHICH Nidorina, because there's two I like most. So for the benefit of Nidorina kind (and bias), I did both. Option A: What you get is a slightly more wild animal-like Nidorina traded against the fact that she doesn't wear the face of a common Nidorina. If I were to use TvTropes' Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism, she sits in between Funny Animal and Civilized Animal. You should know enough about her otherwise. Loves kids, food, Nidorino, don't mess with her kids, or else she'll become downright psychotic. Nidorina is from Poke Tales.
December 31th (Option B) - Nidorina Schneider
Link To Full Image
Option B: What you get is a Nidorina who's a little closer to common appearence, but acts primarily like a human with furry reminders (that is, moments where you're reminded she's still some sort of non-human creature) here and there. If there was an Option C, it'd be Lisa, who looks like a common Nidorina by and large, but has no monster left in her. Interesting how backwards it turned out. That's just the way it is. It's likely for the best this one turned out the way she did, because at the very beginning she was so much like her predecessor, Nidorina, that she might as well had been the exact same character. The further development of character has made her a lot more unique as time went on. As for the rest, you know the story. Spunky big sister yadda yadda yadda. Nidorina is from Alternate Universe, and is also inspired by the Pokemon of the same name from my copy of Pokemon Silver.
Tips For Healthier Living: Unplug and Get Some Sleep
Flipside Skyline
Link To Full Image
I went through the trouble of coloring it, but I kind of knew I wanted it monochrome from the very beginning. I may upload a color version, but it looks more unfinished because I didn't do much with the skyline. At any rate, it was supposed to look like a single tone print in a very early newspaper or magazine, hence, again, my decision to go monochrome (though actually you get two colors). Anyway, It's interesting to think how much Alternate Nidorina has come into her own and grew to become her own entity, but even then, you can take Nidorina out of Nidorina, but you can't take the Nidorina out of Nidorina. Or something like that. As opposed to doing a more cliched "twinsies" picture, I decided to do something more fun, all while making a point. Even though AU Nidorina doesn't have any of her own children, she still loves interacting with them (or the good ones, as she puts it). They both like to get dressed for occasions, and sometimes for no real reason at all. And despite growing up in the woods like her predecessor, Dimensional Variant Nidorina is very much a city girl at heart. Tales Nidorina isn't so much a city woman as she is someone who just finds it such an amazing place to be with so much to do and so much to see, and enjoys visiting whenever she can. She's just less bored in the sticks.
Art Trades: A Cautionary Tale
Link To Full Image
Yeah. That's the actual title. I'll give you a minute to figure it out, based on the picture. Figure it out? Well, the lesson is, if you aren't specific about what you want, you may end up with something silly and unexpected. However, that might actually be preferable. I didn't actually plan to draw this picture as shown, it just sort of happened. Nid is Nid's Nidoran, Vapek might be hers, or he might belong to another, but it's all good (I suppose like Blade Knight inc. and others weren't technically created by me). Nid is also a pretty long running Nido character. Not the longest running, of course, ahem.

Now You're Cooking!
Link To Full Image
Two happy Nido cooks, Arnie and Nidorina, who enjoy making food. The big difference is that Arnie does this for a living and tends towards making gourmet meats or otherwise fancy stuff. I designed the characters based off these ideas: Arnie = short and squat, and Nidorina = “child bearing cartoon mother”. Additionally, Nidoran male has a lot of points, so I sort of built him off of diamonds and sharp edges. Nidorina contrasts by having more curves, circles and rounded edges. The very first idea was more exaggerated and more rigid with shapes, but I wanted the characters to still look recognizable and not take it too far where they become an overstylized generic rabbit and some koala-mouse-rabbit (specifically aimed at Mrs. Nidorina) looking thing. I'd say the characters don't actually look like this (well, Arnie doesn't really).

Strawberry Choco Idol
Link To Full Image
It's the battle of the bands. The competition is fierce and the talent is top notch. Who will come out on top and be the idol group to end all idol groups throughout the farthest reaches of the galaxy? Today, Vulpix, Chikorita and Charlotte's band Strawberry Milk Fantastic, an impressive group of young girls from Popstar, will square off against Joy, Chicolita and Clefairy's band Choco Gummi Yummy, one of the leading bands among young talent from the Pacific seas.
Everyone knows it's not enough to have musical and vocal chops, but you have to know how to put on a show. That bubblegum cute appeal draws crowds, but you better know how to work it. Maybe that's why Vulpix and Joy, the youngest of both groups, are the face of their bands. Both have the benefit of being adorable and fluffy, why do you think kittens are so popular? Vulpix has always dreamed of being an entertainer, but I wonder what Joy is getting out of this...
This was essentially inspired by this image, because it really reminded me of the kind of expression Joy would/has have/had. Likely because of her annoying sisters: Serena Eevee Showcase Debut

An excuse to finally draw Lisa and Charlotte together (at last!), which side are you on? I was aiming to give them more "Nidorina" eyes, which for Lisa is nothing new, but for Charlotte, you can only take it so far before it breaks character design. That's the thing about trying to make any of the "Nido Plus" Nidorina look more in line with Sugimori designs. No matter what, faces still have to be the character's faces, and that actually goes for bodies too (so for example, Nidorina Schneider's always going to be a little shapely even in TPC design, otherwise you're breaking her character design :\).
I've Yet to See the One Who Can Resist Baby Chicks
Link To Full Image
An art trade with MetallicUmbrage, and since I seem to be playing catch up with all Nido OCs who've at one point been on AB, it seems like doing one of Kitty is right on schedule. It's always fun for me to draw Nidorina, but I found something quite appealing about doing this one in particular. Now, Kitty likes to put up a tough front, but as you can see, she's starting break, and trying not to "daawww". Perhaps one day she'll turn these chicks into metalheads. I figured this pic would be just the right amount of cute without going too far.

Anita
Link To Full Image
Can you guess who this is a personification of? Actually, to be honest, she's an original character of mine (so, yay more art that most people don't know about). So wait, what's a non nido doing on this site? To answer that and the aforementioned question, she is a personification of "Nido-san", as if you probably didn't infer as much. However, Anita has some unique differences from the Pokemon she spawned from. For one, she's slightly younger, and isn't the do-it-all that "Nido-san" is. In fact, she's just a graphic design student (who wants to specialize in poster and ad design) instead of a hair stylist. Being human, she's supposed to be a lot more relatable and therefore, more real. Personality wise, though, they're pretty much the same (fun tomboy-ish yet girly sporty kinda quirky girls with a jerkish older sibling complex that enjoy "lame" stuff all the while find humor in everything but go to tears over nothing. Typical, really), and they're both Montana born gals. There's two reasons I put this picture up, though. First of all, so that there's an "official" "Nido-san" personification on here. Although, really, what did you expect her to look like? And secondly, just to further prove that my personifications are much better than my gijinka. Then again, I can't really draw humans manga style anyway. The proportions of manga humans (mostly the face) just... throw me the heck off.
Muriel

You're familiar with Muriel. She's the personification of Nidorina of Poke Tales. And, much like her Pokemon counterpart lives vaguely on an island in the Pacific, Muriel is just Polynesian. Which island specifically? And what ethinicities are the most prominent in her? I don't know, and it's surely not important. Like Anita, she's an original character who spun off from an existing one, so she could actually be useable in the real world. She differs from Nidorina in that Nidorina's only life goal was just to find love, happiness and have a family, and she only happened by chance to become a temporary actress. Muriel, on the other hand, has a dream of stardom, but having a family unfortunately ties her up. She's also a little less obsessed with her husband, and she isn't tone deaf. However, lots of other things are similar, they both are rather cheerful women who love to both cook and eat the food they make, love kids, and are not as down to earth as their spouse is. Muriel intentionally has a kind of 1920's charm, despite not really knowing what time period her story's based in. Why? Because women in the early 1900's were women and men (like me) were glad of it! =D An interesting thing to note is that my original characters (so in other words, non licensed characters) work similiarly to the Tezuka Star System (I TOLD you I was gonna do it). So, while my characters have a sort of canon background, in another story that isn't theirs, they can play a totally different role. It's a way to introduce new characters and stories while keeping a few familiar faces, plus it's always fun to have the characters "act" a different part.

I'm not sure if you like vocaloid,but I made a fan-gijinka inspired by Nido-San from your comics :D.
Charlotte Gijinka - Angeloid

This is supposed to be the Angeloid version of Seven. Everyone who knows "Sora no Otoshimono" will understand, the others will just enjoy .w. As you can see, she got invisible wings, stockings and many other references to Beta-Typed, but it's supposed to be an Alpha-Typed Angeloid. She looks at the world with her impassive expression... Enough talk.
Anita Doodle

A quick drawing I did one night months ago of Anita, who is totally not Nidorina. Decided to ink it and scan it. She basically serves as a background extra, but I've gotten more confident in drawing her even if minimal compared to other human characters.
Alternate Universe Personification Doodles

"Stop tormenting that poor fish" the caption says. Now we all know good and well that will never stop happening. :P Some rough pencil doodles (appears clean because I started with a red colored pencil first) of some of the AU kids if they were humans. Basically, it's Sentret, Vulpix, Chikorita and not-Nidorina. I'm not entirely used to drawing people of Asian decent, I'll admit I should probably do it more often. Anyway, it's an idea, I'll probably never use them, but if I work on them more I'll probably get comfortable and find something that clicks like with Anita. Vulpix is a little difficult in that I had to make her look different from an OC I use as my own sort of mascot named Natalie, and habitually I gotta keep from drawing that "model". As stated in the 4th AU collection, Anita-rina and Vulpix are both from the USA, Sentret and Chikorita however are Japanese. Specifically, Anita-rina from Montana, Sentret from the Nara prefecture and Chikorita coming from either the Aichi or Osaka pref. I dunno where Vulpix is from. All I know is doing a Google search for 12 Year Old Japanese Girl doesn't lead to anything good. I just wanted a reference. ;_;

It's has been a while since I last drawed something Nido-related. So have this nice Nidorina Warrior Gijinka, picturing her taking a break...
Happy Dance

Alt titles: Happy Girls / Monkey Dance / Money Dance. Gotta pay the bills. This is a warm up doodle I colored. Each and every day, whatever sense of realism and seriousness in my artwork drains from my pores and gets replaced with idiot juice. I'm slowly cracking. Won't be long before I fill out an application to MAD Magazine. Or have myself committed, same dif. Well, I dunno, Fake Didi's pretty cute. :P Oh right, yes, if you don't know who Didi is, you actually aren't supposed to yet, but she does appear in the Mixed Nuts photo stories.
