Part of my series "150 watchers, 150 pokémon" for
Oda Folx
Machop stands at 2 ft, quite the child height, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that a child would confuse it for one. Of course, Machop was expecting a battle, or at least, a training session.
I was prepared to go through hell and back to get that expression right on Machop. I was so sure it would eat up all the drawing time... you know what did me in during the initial sketch? That half-turn by Oda!
Of course, that meant that now I was prepared to go through hell and back when it came time to shading that turn ...and again, I was proven wrong. Though finicky, by far the hardest thing to shade was the Power Ranger action figure / doll, and this I can't understand why!
Interestingly, Machop is another one of those pokémon whose color varies wildly: the original games show it as gray/brown, while sugimori's original version shows it as blue. Gen 2 games took this further by making the normal version gray, the shiny version brown, and the anime version blue. I use anime colors whenever possible because that usually works against any background, but it's still weird.
Once again, anybody wants any of the pokémon sketches colored, modified to fit a different sona, or touched up, let me know and I'll do it for cheap!
Favorite this drawing also Twitter, DeviantArt, Tumblr, Ko-Fi, and Mastodon
