All Fan Art in Poke Island Series

Sort of continuing from one first Love to Keep Me Warm illustration. Inspired also by holiday music, as usual, and the fact that I tend to think of this family when Christmas time is near.

You know, years ago when I made the first Bun-Bun, or even earlier, this is the kind of art I would've paid for, commission wise. I'm glad I've finally reached this point. It's not overly detailed like Super Version BUN BUN, but just enough to probably pass on a site like Pixiv (that's all I ever wanted, really).

Like the original Bun-Bun, I wanted it to have that similar anime cuteness. And like all Bun-Buns, there's some extra doodles or whatever in the BG. This time, though, it's some slightly spruced up Nidorina comic bits from Poke Tales and/or Legends (the artwork's unchanged). If you can make them out, I betcha they make Nidorina look a bit cracked or unstable. :) Heh heh heh... yeeaaah. Also, Nidorino comes off as a total butthole. Don't you just love how things turn out out of context?

My VERY first picture that I have made for Aqua Bunny. It is Mrs. Nidorina, I used the old ‘how to draw guide’ to create this drawing of her. Hope everyone enjoys it. :)

So, it's that time again, and I decided to think bigger for this one, and since each picture of the Nidorina series is a kind of tribute, I made the background images of Nidorina historical, or just for fun. Each of the background images I drew new, nothing pulled from archives, and you probably already know I can emulate my old drawing styles. At the top, you have all the clearly defined old styles from 1999 to about 2006-ish (early Aqua Bunny/Late Creative Worlds). You can see that the earliest was clearly a misinterpretation of Sugimori's Nidorina made to be cuter, and honestly the closest to it (if I knew how to draw better). I thought Nidorina had a kind of lump for a horn, but it's just the angle the official art was drawn in. Later my own style started kicking in and this Nidorina officially had a small horn. The bottom's just fun drawings, including her personification. And in the middle is the centerpiece, Mrs. "Bun-Bun" herself in a cutesy Manga style. I love it.

I remember when my mom used to make church suits for women. I can't remember too well what they looked like, but I know she'd have customers come over to be fitted every now and again. She later downsized to hats and jewelry, but she expanded to other avenues.

I wanted to draw a suit on Nidorina, not the one she wears in the series (which is green for one), but I thought it'd be nice and in character. She's kind of exaggeratedly drawn, but then again what pictures of mine aren't?

While looking around your site I thought to myself, “Why aren’t there any super deformed pics of Mrs. Nidorina??” So to change that I drew a cute little pic/comic type thing for you. I heard that Mrs.Nidorina loves to clean up messes; I imagine she’d both be thrilled and agitated to see a giant mess like this one. More thrilled though. :3

A group pic of all the Nido characters of Poke Tales and Poke Legends by the end of the series. Everyone's in cute mode, as well. I could've arranged it better in retrospect, but here we are. Also, this doesn't include Poke Island Nidos. Maybe one day I'll do a group picture of all the major Nidos of the trilogy, but hey, I'm 2/3s there.

This is the other half of the Oh, Nidorie! picture duo. This is the Pokemon version for those who come to the site for Pokemon, considering that's what you'd expect. This image was just as fun as human "Nidorie", it really portrays her golden moment well, when she had her 15 minutes of fame. Naturally, this version would be rounder and stubbier. Human or not, though, she knows how to work what she has. Maybe the next step for her is runway model?

The other half can be found here.

It's interesting to me to think that this picture would eventually inspire an animated version seven years later, but here it is, the original catalyst!

I know this is Sinatra's song, but I had the Billie Holiday version in mind. Why do I always think of Nidorina whenever I think of anything from an older era? Must be all those classic movies I watch. You know, the black and white movies were "men were men and women were women". Then again, she's the only Nido actress I have, not that that means a whole lot. Well, like any old song, this is one of my favorites. Well, anything sung by a crooner or jazz singer is pretty good, in my opinion. But, I also like Christmas music too. It's my favorite time of the year for the warm fuzzies.
