Description
No. 003 Venusaur -- A true Pocket Monster. In Gen 1 Venusaur looked even more ferocious than it does now, and its Red and Blue sprites were even more different. With dark spots covering its rafflesia, as well as its body in place of its familiar warts, I took the opportunity to emphasize that the fully evolved starter is indeed a Poison-type. I don't think I'll ever get exhausted of Venusaur, after all it WAS my first starter Pokemon, not to mention it manages to surprise me every time I use it, due to a self-imposed distance from knowing everything about Pokemon (I think it's more healthy this way). Having said that, while this fella was on my team for a great majority of my gameplay, post-Elite 4, he was left in Oak's backyard in favor of some bulkier new additions. But I love ya anyway, you old, toxic, pineapple-backed so-an'-so.

----------

I'm always searching for projects to get me inspired, because I'm so bad at finishing things at all, let alone at a timely pace.

So when Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow were released to the eShop in February of this year, I challenged myself. I told myself that I would draw every Pokemon I caught in the game as if I were filling out a Pokedex myself, much to the style of Tracey Sketchit.

While I stopped after about ten or so drawings because of the output of caught Pokemon, I kept a list, and I intend to finish it. So here's the scoop:

-Every Pokemon will be submitted in the order in which I obtained them in the game--Though I have some finished artwork of some, they come much later, and as a result shall not be submitted until their appropriate times.

-The designs are more reflective of their original Red version sprites, but coloration is partially influenced by their current appearances.

-Each is a simple drawing, inking, and water color wash--No less than 15 minutes, and no more than an hour per Pokemon.
