Description D: I've worked on this for.... about five or so weeks, but there's only about 4 hours' worth in it I kept stopping cos the fur was irksome.
Thought I'd go lineless for a change, cos I just couldn't get the right effect with an outline, y'know?
For the Adaptation Competition. [link]
Tree Kangaskhan, because a Kangaskhan is a kangaroo-based Pokemon, and you get tree kangaroos. Okay.

Info!

Kangaskhan living in more heavily forested areas soon found that it was better to take to the trees to protect their young. The cooler climates among the trees also caused them to grow a long coat of fur, instead of protective scales and thick skin which would be far too heavy for the agile lifestyle that Tree Kangaskhan lead.
They use their powerful, long limbs to leap from branch to branch with speed and agility that their ground-dwelling relatives lack. Their tails have also grown long and prehensile, allowing the Kangaskhan to use them for balance (their bodies are too bulky for using the tails to hang from). They also have flexible paws, allowing them to grip branches easier; their claws have developed into long, thin hooked claws for the same purpose. In females, the pouch is smaller for aerodynamic purposes, so the young is expelled from it much earlier, where it will cling to a parent’s back when the family is moving.
They often form large clans, which can get very noisy when there is a possible predator around in order to drive the offender away. If the foe is not deterred they will strike with their claws.

Bleh.

Well, Silverbirch... After much deliberation and time-consuming consideration, your entry gets my vote. Yours is the best of all 63 entries, in my humble opinion.

I'm a sucker for tree kangaroos, but that's not my only reason for selecting this one as my choice for voting. I find this entry to be one of the most creative of them all because you truly adapted your Pokemon based on a model from real animals! That rocks! You took Kangaskhan and adapted it beautifully for a life in a new environment, more so than just changing its superficial appearance and type.

And of course, this is brilliant purely on artistic value, as well. I love the fur texture and the how much depth everything in the scene has.

Congratulations on an amazing contest entry, regardless of whether or not you win! I wish you the best of luck.

Really??!? Wow, thanks!

... xD I love doing realistic Pokemon...lolwut
I also decided on it after seeing so many people just changing a Pokemon's colours or adding in a leaf here and there or something like that... I had to stir it up a bit. (But Souldew got there first! D: )

Again, thank you very much!

dude, me and my friend were just talking about that!

for one, he'd be much less aesthetically appealing...
and my friend theorized that MAYBE he shaved with his spear because gorillas don't have facial hair.
that's if you wanna get real technical. x)

.... *looks confused* But Kangaskhan looks so different! ;_; It has fur and looks almost wolfish, but I like the long tail! (because I want to hug it :3)
You've drawn it beautifully though, and full of lovely details like the direction of the fur and the shape of the paws wow! but, I kinda like kangaskhan how she used to look like, she looked so strong and ...dinosaur-like! I'm sorry, it's just that it's one of my favourite pokemon ^^

xD I gots a goooood idea... It's not all that hard, y'know. Just draw an Eeveelution looking sad, probably in an environment that reminds them of the Eeveelution they wanted to be.

:3 Okay then~ I'll do the Unbreon/Espeon one, okay?
Ahh... I'll go for a Xatu *is completely random*
