I keep seeing people drawing their Pokémon as humans (or 'gijinka', which is apparently the ' proper' term. It just means anthropomorphism applied to non-human creatures and items.).

So I gave it a try on my Pearl team. I'm really happy with how it came out- it was a bit tricky getting all the Pokémon features to look right, but it was still pretty fun. I took the colours from each Pokémon's sprite, which is why they're so bright :D

From top left to right, they are-

~Cobalt, a Luxray. His glasses are x-ray specs, since apparently Luxray has x-ray vision. I wish I did. I really like how he came out.

~Vyck, a Weavile. She's some kind of badass ninja, I think. Maybe she's just pissed cus she's the only girl on the team. Though, it's more likely she's upset she's named Vic, the decongestant. See, she was a Sneasel, which sounds like 'sneeze' and you put Vic up your nose... It makes sense to me ^^;

~Tux, an Empoleon. His nose is supposed to be beak-like, but I'm pretty sure I overdid. I think he looks like a used car salesman. His hair is pretty neat, though.

On the bottom row, left to right-

~Dash, a Rapidash. He was an absolute BITCH to dress because Rapidash just doesn't have any remarkable bodily features, bar the fact that it's a horse on fire. I tried to make it look like he's in a running shirt and his hair looks fiery, instead.

~Zerus, a Roserade. I named him after one of ~Laurenza's shadow-tree-demon characters. I think he looks a little bit like Tuxedo Mask and Zorro's lovechild. I was going to draw him blowing a kiss, but looking smarmy did the job just as well :D

~Floon, a Drifblim. I want to pet his hair, it looks fluffy. Actually, he looks kind of huggable full stop, I think :)

Media- Photoshop
Time Taken- about 7 hours.

It's not really my idea at all, cus I've seen so many of them around the place. All I did was draw my own team my way. But thanks nonetheless :)

Sorry, I hit send instead of edit when I wasn't finished. Let me try that again.

No wonder you did this then. Yet another bandwagon for you to climb on. I don't like humanised animals, tbh. It annoys me when people do it with the Sonic characters too.

I'll talk about the art though since I've nothing to say about the concept. It looks good. Dash's hair captures the feel of 'fire' well. Zerus' eyes look a little too far apart, I think. But otherwise they're all very nice.

P.S. The decongestant is called 'Vicks.' Vic is a is sort for Vincent... or Victoria or other names and stuff.

But bandwagon has cookies! *whine* Okay, okay, I promise. Next piece won't be a bandwagon :)

Hmm, you're right about Zerus' eyes. I always have a problem with that, though. Must try harder! *motivate*
It is? I was sure it was Vic. Ah well, the meaning is still the same. Maybe I should edit it.

:D Thank you, though!

Actually, the difference between Gijinka and Anthro is that Anthro is more true to their animalistic body, but with the walking abilities/etc of a human, while Gijinka is more human, with a bit of "dress up" or "cosplay" as a creature, but with their actual animal parts (ie, ears, tails, wings, etc)

Sorry, you probably could care less about that. Anyhow, this is great. You're right on how your Roserade and Empoleon look. O_O; Cool though.
