#630 Mandibuzz - Gotta draw'em all collab
For GottaDrawEmAll
I totally bit off more than I could chew with this. :'D
(Reference of a real vulture and a tutorial about drawing rocks were used. But rocks are still way too hard.)
Whenever I draw Pokemon stuff that's not related with my comics or any other fiction, I want to express my first impression on the thing I draw.
For Mandibuzz, my first impression of it was literally NOTHING, because I first played Pokemon White and it doesn't appear in the wild nor is it used by many trainers.
(Or at least I knew that a giant vulture queen Pokemon who dresses herself with bones seemed kinda scary, maybe.)
Then I got Black 2 just because I thought that I rather wanted to experience the version differences than feeling (unrelevantly) connected to the previous game's storyline.
Of course I never spoiled the gameplay for me, and when I got past that desert route by chance, on a fated Thursday, there she was, waiting there in the fences.
I was like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU UNDER-LEVELLED SCARY BIRB"
...Maybe the player is the scary one to her though, disturbing her well-earned vacation to the desert only every Thursday.
(And I'm well aware that I drew the Black1!player rather than Black2!player. Cuz I like Hilbert.)
So this is everything I know about Mandibuzz. Good bye. :'D
