I just did this yesterday for McGraw's "What If?" thread. Since I haven't updated my art thread in a long time, I thought I'd include it here too.Electric Tentacruel
And just for reference, here's the real Tentacruel:
If you haven't seen the original thread, you should check it out. It has some amazing artwork in it and some fabulously creative ideas. Cartoons, Atyroki, and CyzirVisheen come to mind as some of the all-stars of that thread. After seeing all their stuff, I just had to jump in and do one of my own.
This is a whimsical take on a different type for Tentacruel. I was looking through the pokedex, trying to find a pokemon that jumped out at me for an alternate typing. When I saw those translucent globes and long tentacles on Tentacruel, I immediately envisioned a big lightbulb with electric cords hanging underneath. I sketched the idea in a quick 15 minute burst of inspiration.
Since this isn't a "serious" piece like most other stuff in my thread, I just freehanded all the ink (as opposed to painstakingly vectoring all the ink, like I normally do) and slapped down some basic coloring. It's nowhere near as clean as my other stuff, but it was loads of fun to do.
