With the Halloween season coming soon, one Pokemon fan decides to give Charmander and its evolutions and suitably ghoulish makeover. While Charizard already has an intimidating dragon-like appearance, this new artwork from a fan artist made even the smaller and cuter Charmander and Charmeleon look frightening.
Recently, scrazyone1, an artist on Reddit, shared a collection of pictures showing off these spooky renditions of Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard. According to the artist, the project involved 3D artwork, and the results of the makeover made the Pokemon look spooky, to say the least.
In one of the images posted to Reddit by scrazyone1, all three of the Pokemon part of the Charmander evolution line stood, staring menacingly at the camera. However, these Pokemon appeared significantly different from their versions in the Pokemon franchise since their traditional color schemes had been replaced with a shade of black. In addition, bones representing the skeletal systems of the Pokemon were visible in the designs, amplifying the spooky nature of the artwork. Furthermore, the fire on the tip of each Pokemon's tail had been given a much darker and more subdued hue.
More pictures of the Halloween-themed artwork can be found in the original post.
As if this first picture was not enough, scrazyone1 included a number of other pictures of their Pokemon 3D artwork on Reddit. For example, they posted a close-up image of each Pokemon part of the evolution line, allowing fans a closer look at the designs. In addition, there was a picture that showed Charizard, Charmander, and Charmeleon before they had been given their Halloween-themed colors.
Many gamers ready for the Halloween season have taken notice of this spooky Charmander evolution line artwork on Reddit. For instance, one Pokemon fan revealed that their son thought the fan art looked so good that it looked like a set of toys. In addition, some thought the designs were reminiscent of the Delta Charmander from the fan game Pokemon Insurgence. In fact, so many gamers loved the appearance of these Halloween-themed Pokemon that the post has managed to gather more than 10.8K upvotes in only a few hours.
As Halloween draws closer, it will be interesting to see what other artwork fans create based on the spooky time of the year. Before sharing their Charmanader artwork, scrazyone1 posted several pictures to Reddit of a Halloween-themed Bulbasaur and its evolutions they had created, complete with jack-o-lanterns in place of plant bulbs. Time will tell what other impressive and scary pieces of artwork this and other talented artists make over the weeks leading up to October 31.
