Stereotypically speaking, fathers are either the most distant from their kids (workaholics, etc) or relate the closest, being a kid at heart (and probably a little stupid). I dislike both of those. Nidorino's typically busy and seemingly distant but he really means well. He cares about his kids and wants to be close to them. But he's not ignorant to what his kids like (even if they are all under 7), so he plays with them accordingly. Afterall, he was a free spirit once. What a loving dad, that Nidorino.

Your kids will turn out the way you raise them, and the amount of time spent with them also has a huge effect during the developmental years. I'm sure Nidorina's kids will be fun, loving, and fun loving just like their mother is, and Nidorina truly enjoys playing with her kids. They are her world, you know. But hey, daddy loves 'em too.

Poor Mrs. Hen, this is no dream or hangover. If you're quick, you can see where I got this idea. I was thinking of the imagery you sometimes see around this holiday, with rabbits hatching from eggs. Of course that doesn't make any sense, but neither does the concept of Pokemon eggs. And yet, it works anyway. So, seeing as I could pull off a rabbit hatching literally, and with Pokemon eggs being decorative, I instantly knew that I had to put the eggs in a henhouse and make a chicken check her sanity. I was lazy and used wood texture brushes for the wood texture.

You know how some artists' middle stage Nidos are drawn more rhino like? It's like I go the extreme opposite, mine get more and more rabbit like. Picture is rather self explanatory. All I can say is calling Nidorina crazy about Nidorino is an understatement.

Obviously influenced by vintage design, specifically UPA in most cases, but not as flat. Kind of like the Valentine's related animation I had done. I can see where it's had a great impact on illustrative and cartooning styles, but that's not a discussion for this site.

The background is the Pea Soup pattern by Jen Furlotte (http://www.pixelsandicecream.com. I'm surprised this site still exists!)

Time to enter a new decade with a reimagining of the first New Year's pic Aqua Bunny had. Kinda like starting over again. The Nido representations you read for New Year 2007 apply here.

On some given day that we for some reason observe on December 25th, Needles was born. I kid, kids. I thought this would be cute to do, there's no sacreligious intent, believe you me. Although, you gotta be real, I'm pretty sure that's what Joseph was thinking. It's supposed to look like some kind of mural (or stone wall painting, even though it's probably got more colors than actually used in biblical times), and it uses familiar characters playing at least semi-fitting roles.

To all the mothers, even those who aren't aware of my existence, I wish you a happy Mother's Day, even if you don't live in the USA. Nidorina has been in a lot of Mother's Day related material since 2002. And this is no exception. Needles really loves his mother, he does.

Candice x Brett doesn't seem to be going anywhere. But its my only Nido 'couple'.

~Have an awesome and chibilicious Valentine's Day!!~

Nidorino tries to put one on and fails miserably.
