Artist Creates Hyper-Realized Pokémon Designs

Posted on Tuesday, October 23 @ 09:42:26 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Don't you just love Pokémon? Those cute, cuddly little creatures that look far more adorable than threatening? Well one San Francisco-based artist decide to recreate them in a far more horrifying hyper-realistic fashion.

Here we have Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venasaur.



Next up we have Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard.



The creator of these freakish illustrations is a talented artist by the name of RJ Palmer who has been a fan of the portable Nintendo franchise since he was nine-years-old. In an interview with IGN, Palmer shared his inspiration behind the drawings, saying:

Back in late August I was burnt out on doing some freelance illustrations and before I went to bed I scratched out a more realistic Garchomp to relieve stress. After I there it up on my deviantART account, it became very popular. I had more ideas for Pokémon to do and decided to just start working on my creature design skills, and decided to keep doing them in my spare time.

Oh yeah, we can forget about Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise!

    Ha! And I'm assuming that's a Crabby who picked a fight with the wrong Wartortle.
