Pokemon: Travels over water
Felt a bit nostalgic thinking about my days in middle school, where I used to play pokemon on my gameboy.
Also it kinda has been awhile since I drew anything related to games, so I wanted to correct this by drawing something from the pokemon universe before the year was over (plus it gave me a good opportunity to practice a bit more with water-drawings).
I remember that my favourites where most of the ''lizard-looking'' pokemons (totodile and charmander etc.) and most of all the glorious magikarp! :P (Lick)
Why magikarp? Despite the fact that it got one of the most stupid looking derp faces, and is pathetically weak when you first catch it. It WILL evolve (with a bit of patience and hard training) into a freaking ''dragon-fish'' that can level a city! For me a magikarp was the definition of the word ''hidden potential''.
