Nidoking was always a pretty cool looking pokemon, though I never used him in a game until I played FireRed last year. This Nidoking here is grumpy because he has been left with the kids. There is also a mischievous Pikachu that has taken advantage of the Nidoking's colorblindness and snuck its way into the family. You can see the process recording over at My Livestream Channel
Awesome. I'm getting kind of a sloth vibe, mostly from the posture and the claws (thinking basically every painting I've ever seen of a Megatherium). Well, that and kangaroo, which I guess makes a lot of sense with the tail. Might've expected a reptile for these guys, but if you're running with the bunny/rodent look Nidoran have, it feels like you've hit on the right combination for a mammalian Nido. Rhino head and armor, kangaroo tail and posture, sloth claws and porcupine quills (don't mind me, I'll just be over here oversimplifying your amazing art).
Kind of interested to see your take on the intermediate forms now (Nidorino/a), if only because the transition between the really solidly quadrupedal mid-levels and the mostly-bipedal final forms in the original art always seemed a bit jarring to me.
hahaha.... what a funny pikachu...
Love your work!!

I hope, that I will see more like this by you.
