Description

Nidoking have broad shoulders and a muscular sloping neck that is reinforced with heavy bone to help them bear the impact of thrashing into rivals. Their crested necks and horn have small poison glands at the base. Males have large tusks that grow from their lower jaws and are exposed even with the mouth closed. The long whip-like tails can also deal damage. The armored plating covering Nidoking makes it nearly impenetrable.

 

Nidoqueen have rounder, softer faces than Nidoking. Their horns are also significantly smaller and they lack the musculature along their neck and shoulders that the males have. Females are not as tall as the males, but their length and average weight are very similar. Females have proportionally larger ears and tend to be more cautious than males, though more aggressive if they have young.

Two informal pieces I just wanted to test out.

I really wanted to make them more dinosaur looking but alas. I need to draw different species. 

There's this one guy I see at every convention and I don't know his name. He has a marvelous beard and always buys something from me, though his favorite is Nidoking and I don't have one available at my booth. This is for him. I also do not have purple pencils. I used my Dad's Venus Spectracolor color pencils that he gave to me... these things are older than me xD discontinued in 1990 or something.

Very nice looking versions, I like them! 

Just the weights are totally off, at least to me. Even the smallest adult rhino weighs at least ten times that much. Not blaming you, no worries. ^^

This is amazing! My imagination instantly puts it into the Pokemon world as a Pokemon Professor's field journal.

Thank you!

Yes! That's what I wanted it to sort of look like! I remember I had this awesome dragon picture book that was a sort of field guide book on dragons in different countries. n_n

I think Nidoqueen turned out cuter. :3 I've always liked Nidoqueen, she always had a very pleasant face.

I want to redo these in watercolor or maybe just black and white. I'm not too good with color pencil D:

Either way they look phenomenal.

I usually seem them reconstructed as more dinosaur-like, so seeing them as closer to rhinoceros is really refreshing!

Thank you! aaw, but I love dinosaurs!
