Here is the seemingly much anticipated Blastoise. He was always my least favorite of the original three starters, but I'll take him over Swampert any day. The big challenger with a more realistic take on Blastoise is of course, his cannons. After spending some time researching animals that use projectiles, a squid's jet really seem to fit the idea. Blastoise is supposed to be able to aim his cannons and fire water jets to propel himself in a direction, very much like a real life squid. So he intakes large supplies of water through his mouth and stores it in a specialized organ in his chest under the shell. Blastoise primarily eats shellfish, earning his nickname as the shellfish Pokemon, he holds onto a Shellder in this case and blasts water to help him pull it off its rocky home. Squirtles start out primarily aquatic and as they grow they eventually become semi terrestrial and lose their developed swimming tail in favor for a heavier counterweight tail. Wartortles spend much of their time drifting motionlessly after meals to facilitate the tremendous growth, sometimes for months. As a result coral sea fans often take root on them, especially on their head. Also, Krabby is a dick, look at him, being an ass.

Seriously, looking at your art is just incredible. The comment you made at the end about Krabby made me crack up and officially makes you my favorite deviant artist, along with your art.

~Tropicandy May 10, 2013

I love your Staryu @_@ It's all awesome but that just stood out to me. XD

I always thought of the canons as bony protrusions, like an extra pair of limbs you could say, with joint or rubbery connections under the shell that empty into water holding sacks. But this is a fun take on the canons i wouldn't have thought that would be on a blastoise, i can see it though full on, I like it ")

I end up looking through all of these every time you post a new one, and I only just noticed magikarp going for the hook behind Squirtle.

I try to make my art fun for those that look.

*JeannieHarmon May 1, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

I'd consider you very successful at it, too
