Minty the Nidorino

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
I drew Nidorino the way Pat draws them, not as mean looking, but more peaceful X3.
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 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.
If I ignore the cheap background and generic pose, I kind of like this! It's my first time drawing Nidorino, too. I always preferred Nidorino over Nidoking, though I still like Nidoking. And I prefer 'rino and 'king over 'rina and 'queen. The Nidoran are equal to me, though.
