PRINT STORE-BUY THIS THERE

Addendum: Looks like this one is another divisive piece, much like my Scyther redesign. Ghosts are not real, the aim of this project is to take elements from the real world and incorporate them into a Pokemon. I like the way these look, they look like the Pokemon they are to me. I don't care if this is not how you picture them, you really don't have to tell me about it; draw your own. I like the idea of animals being mistaken for something much more mythical. Though they still have their fair share of fantasy, these versions are not ghosts. They are magical animals mistaken for ghosts. There are only five bat Pokemon, yet there are many more butterfly Pokemon. It should be no big deal if I interpret these are bat-like critters.

Commission to the wonderful :iconranchmaker:

Boy this one was tricky. Looking at Gastly, I cracked it, his eyes could be bat ears; then the rest just fell into place design wise. None of the Gastly family are actually ghosts, but have just been claimed to be. Gastly and Haunter on live in caves and empty towers, appearing only at night. Their forms are very hard to make out as they have deceptive camouflage; Gastlies appear to be little more than a head at first glace, though in actuality are a very large poisonous bat. Each member of this family possesses a helium bladder, giving them the ability to float and taking on a ghostly appearance. Gengars do not occur in the wild, they are the result of a trainer taking their haunter to a new region, this results is a radical shift physique. Though Gengars do possess the ability to levitate, they are much heavier than their kin and can only levitate to avoid attacks. Each of them can produce a poisonous cloud by ruffling their fur, releasing dried toxic saliva into the air; though Gastlies seem to do this most commonly. They are hyper carnivores, preying on anything they can find, most commonly their relatives, Zubats. Rattata doesn't like picture day.

Also, happy almost Halloween.

I have to take off my glasses at first to see the colors look like the actual pokemon. It's such an original design though, I've never seen these guys drawn as bats. It's works perfectly too! <3

The way you drew Gastly with the bat ears as eyes is genius. This is seriously one awesome series!

Just fantastic ! I am not exactly fond of those 3 pokemins due to their supernatural side, but you just changed my mind ! Now I love how you designed them, they are totally fabulous !

You are extremely talented both by your drawing skills and by your imagination
