This was coloured rather hastily, and most of the background was me toying around in Photoshop. The Pidgeot in the background looks like a blob, but you get the idea.
The colour in this one is closer to one of the variant colours in Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2. My lev. 100 Nidorino is named "Zigzag", which makes him a variant. My lev. 86 Nidorina (we're still training!) is named "Mollie", which makes her a variant as well. She's dark blue with blazing gold eyes. It's really cool!
This is a pic of Zigzag, my level 100 Nidorino. The shading took a while, though it looks a bit shoddy. The background is a googled stock photo. O___o
Nidorina was done in MS Paint w/ the mouse, so it may look a little frumpy...
