Pikachu

I decided to do another Pokemon fanart piece, and this time I felt inspired to create a painting of Pikachu. I didn’t really look up any references for mice or really any rodent for that matter when I was designing him, and honestly the point of reference that I had in my mind was my cat Shadow, I found myself thinking of my cat when I was designing the face of Pikachu, and that’s how I came up with this particular look. The background was a mix of my love for night time scenes, but I also wanted something that had a particular vibe to it, and honestly it was a nostalgic theme that I had in the back of my mind when I was working on this and wanted that to come through in this piece as much as I was able to.

I’ll probably do Raichu/Pichu next, but I haven’t completely decided yet, I do know that I definitely want to do another Pokemon painting, so I’ll probably get to work on that tonight.

Hope you guys like how this one turned out!
