Oh my goodness! A realistically drawn version of my favorite new starter with well thought out headcanon information? By the gods I love this piece already.Much like most people, I love Pokémon. Their an essential piece of my childhood, their fun, and their cute. But what I really love it how some people can creatively draw them out in a realistic fashion and give a breif but interesting explination on how they think they pokémon survives. I haven't seen many of things like this but I'm sure their out there somewhere. But enough about my ramblings, lets talk about this piece right here.The vision is great. A tree frog style works splendidly with the moist water starter of the next gen. also drawing each part the text talks about was a helpful and reasonable thing for the artist to do. 5 stars for Vision.As far as originality goes, I'm a little torn. I'm sure other people have thought of or done this idea before, but so far this is the only example I've seen of this. I have to mark it down for being an idea that some other people must have done, but that still does make it bad. It's a brilliant idea with creativity and surprising amounts of logic. 4 stars for Originality.The technique is also very nice. The life-like drawing and art style work perfectly with what one would think when told of a Pokémon Darwin Guide. I make it down by half a star for two reasons. One: they almost seem a little two well done for an on the fly drawing, and Two: I'm not sure if a real biology drawing like this would be colored in. Even so, this is hardly a problem at all. Hell, I wish that drawings in text books and adventure guides were more like this. It would be amazing if they could. 4 and a half stars for Technique.As you might be able to guess by now, this had a big impact on me as a scientist and as a Pokémon fan. I was nodding my head and going "Wow~" when I was reading the information about the pokémon. I was geeking out when I saw it was of my favorite starter of the new generation. I just blows my mind that people can do stuff like this. An amazing piece of art from one of my favorite artists. I hoep other people feelt the same way. 5 points for Impact.
