All Fan Art in Mixed and Other

Recently I dug up some drawings done a few years back. It just suddenly reminded me of Aqua Bunny, so I decided to draw my Nidoran Twin characters, Mikey and Candice.

A random Nidorina character, pretty much made to honor Patrick's awesome depictions of the Nido family. She's kind of my Pokesona. I hope you like her.

I don't really draw Nidoking, I think we've established that. But between a generic one, the one from Poke Island and Kent, I'd have to say I actually enjoy the entire concept of Kent. The PI one looks just like a generic one anyway, 'cept maybe friendlier. On the other hand, Kent's got an interesting face. And that's just for starters. And then the idea of this stoic but respectable, several generations old Nidoking who basically lives to do his trade in carpentry... I dunno, it's kind of funny to me because his demeanor would be the type of the predictable old world hard worker who takes pride in the self made man (and whatever country he lives in). This would be normal if it wasn't for the fact that the rest of the world has moved on to the information age. So I felt like drawing him getting right to work, because back in his day, a man had to live by his principles.

Yeah, this picture would be better suited for Creative Worlds, but bear with me. Seeing as I could work Tetran into some wordplay, it wasn't long before I considered Tenny Rop (aka Tetran 2). It was gonna be piloted by a Buneary long ago, but then I realized that l/rop wasn't anywhere to be found in its name (including the original). Lopunny didn't sit along side Nidoran very well like a Buneary would've, so I decided I would make her a boss-ish character, and give her an actual name. Lopear is the lieutenant of the Jade Rabbit (moon rabbit) fleet, which I jokingly decided were all but useless to the Bacterian army. Having recently seen some Otomedius X gameplay, it gave me the "oh what the heck" boost I didn't necessarily want to finally draw this out. So, here it is, a parody of a parody of a parody. Excuse the lack of a real commanding outfit, no one wears anything in Otome (not literally). This piece itself still has a Parodius-ish vibe because dangit, they should've continued that series instead.

Everyone viewing this: "Why can't he draw normal Pokemon art like everybody else?"

Except Nidorino's (center left) aren't real. But he sure wears them for this reason. I've established from "credible sources" that not only do glasses make you cuter, but anyone who wears them is absolutely brilliant.

Okay this is not my best work but here is Charlotte with my character Jessica the Pikachu. Kine got Jessica from the same pokenerd who gave him Nidorina. Jessica can also know what Charlotte says.

Of all your nido-characters, I've always had a biting urge to draw Charlotte. Maybe it's the character design, or maybe it's just the last couple of AU comics (which are awesome beyond further description). To spare some more unnecessary rambling, I was recently prompted to draw her when I realized that my own nido-character, Charlie, had a name that is strikingly similar to Lottie's. ... I... swear that wasn't intentional. For whatever reason I never caught on. ^^;

I ended up drawing both of 'em, but I'm not so pleased with how my own character turned out. In hindsight, that's probably because I'd put so much effort into making Charlotte look somewhat accurate that I didn't have the willpower to make my own nido look any good. XD

The top image might be a an old reference by now, but someone may still out of it. It was both really funny and absolutely horrifying to draw. I needed to cleanse myself. Next to it is self redemption, but an important note in case anybody felt like doing Nini fan art(?). Nidorina is actually very girly in demeanor, despite not being one in personal tastes. Everything else is everything else.

Why not introduce you to this cast of cute and happy Nidoran? These are all my Nidoran characters. Here's what's interesting, all but one are from the Poke Island Series, which at the time of this illustration was all I had. Now there's the entire Schneider family, but we'll make do with what we have here.

In order of appearance:

• 1999 - Melody, Rondo (Poke Island)

• 1999-2000(?) - Nidoran (F), Martha, Gerald, Nidoran (M), Dot, Needles (Poke Tales)

• 2000-2001(?) - Diana, Nina*, Chaud* (Poke Legends)

• 2006 - Angelina (Carmela: ¡Alcance Las Estrellas!).
  

*Chaud may have appeared first, too lazy to confirm.

And now, some really quick background info. Melody and Rondo are child siblings, but importantly Snow Nidoran, a species of Nidoran with a thicker, white coat living on Mt. Frosty. They lead a choir of other Snow Nidoran kids, and this choir is known as the Snow Children (so now, the fictional Love and Peace song title should make sense).

Nidoran (female) kick started Poke Tales, really, and my love for Nidos. Martha and Gerald Faurnsworth are an older Nidoran couple who fell on hard times. They're also one of the few characters in the series with a surname. Nidoran inadvertantly got them back from rags to riches, but the Faurnsworths are very generous and pleasant to be around. Nidoran (male) is a really nice guy, and a bit of a thrill seeker.

Dot is the Nidoran family's only child. She started off a bully, but just became talky. Needles is the Nidorino family's first born. He's very shy, but likes sweets. Diana is the Nidorino family's second born. She's very sweet natured. She looks a lot like her mom in this picture, too. Nina is the Nidorino family's third born. She's fragile. Chaud is the child of Nidoking's family. Nidoqueen thought it'd be fun to have a baby just like her friends Nidoran and Nidorina. Let's just say the Nidoroyals weren't well prepared. Chaud's a little whiny. Angelina is Carmela's childhood friend. She, like Carmela, has a pretty snappy attitude, but she believes in family and keeping traditions, and has an optomistic personality hidden inside her tough exterior.

Why draw one way when you can draw twelve ways? Even then, I could've chose some different options, but I character matched it a bit, though. Since I left the following information off of the original pic, I'll add the creation dates to this one.

In order of appearance:

• 1999 - Agnes (Poke Island), "Mrs." Nidorina (Poke Tales)

• 2001 - Nidorina "Nini" Schneider, Charlotte (Poppistar/Alternate Universe)

• 2002 - Miranda (no series)

• 2004 - Nidozilla (originally none. Later, Other Alternate Universe)

• 2005 - Riri (Chibi's Corner), Reilina (Other Alternate Universe), Mandie (unused Pokemon college character)

• 2006 - Chibi-Chibi (representative), Carmela (Carmela: ¡Alcance Las Estrellas!), Lisa (Diary of Lisa Berkley).
