I wanted to draw Mrs. Nidorina. Hope you all like it! ^_^

Something I've always wanted to do. She actually was meant to look like this officially, except I couldn't draw too well eons ago, and eventually my own style kicked in and now she looks differently. I thought, if Sugimori took a stab at her, how would she appear? Assuming he kept in mind that she's not supposed to look entirely like a basic Nidorina, this is what I envisioned he'd envision. The left elbow is above her neck (which is nearly non-existent) so that's why it covers the pearls. Also, I made this pic for those people out there who only want artwork to look as official as possible for some reason, because I know how they complain.

Hello! I just was bored and wanted to post a picture for Kine cuz I heard that he rarely sees Mrs. Nidorina pictures, so, I made one for him!

I worked hard on this and put 110% effort into making this... hope you like it. ^^

Psst. Nidorina also makes a good meganekko. Pass it on. Both Nidorina and Nidorino own reading glasses, but if you've been paying attention you already knew that. Is there any archetype Nidorina can't fit into? Probably not, she's a little bit of everything. That's why it's so easy to draw her in one.

One of my all time favorite illustrations, even to this day. This is a variation of the Mrs. Nidorina series of pics, now with emphasis on just being cute. I really put a lot of effort into this just because I really like the character. Pics like these are really tributes to the different sides of her, and there are many. She's cute, heartwarming, desirable, childish, naive and oblivious. She's also emotional, anxious, selfish, sympathetic, empathetic and relatable. Things that make up natural people, all of my pictures pretty much give a glimpse of who she is at that moment. That's what makes her great. That's why she's so fun to draw. And that's why I make larger scale tribute pics like this! I could essentially do the same for Nidorino, but he's less sympathetic. But hey, I love that guy too. I love the whole family. I can't say it enough times.

PS: Bun-Bun is Nidorina's pet name, a diminutive of "bunny". Nidorino's pet name is Rinie.

I got an email suggesting I did another splash page for CW Spring like I did the Lucas one in 2007. Now, normally I just disregard requests out of the blue because I'm not an entertainment center, HOWEVER, he must've inadvertently struck my weakness. He suggested I used Mrs. Nidorina. One could probably get me to do almost anything as long as she's in it. I'd make a whole dang movie based on her autobiography from birth to death. Yeah. I'd also want money for it, too. I'm no fool (though, I would pay a high end studio to do it, so maybe I am).

So I drew this up, slightly matching CW's 2007 splash. The sad thing is, I don't think I'd've tried as hard if I had to draw Hinawa for real.

Left - Needles. The gift child that Nidorina begged for. His existence is a giant step up in character development for the parents, Nidorina matures and Nidorino loosens up. He is chubby, but super cute. Middle - Diana. The planned second child. She's very sweet and hardly fusses. Also super cute. Right - Nina. The sickly "oops" child. Sometimes, things just happen. Quite a sad story involving this one. Also super cute.

Kind of a dated reference by now, but the art's neat.
