#taako the elf

The drawing for last week’s Adventure Zone took so long because at first I was just gonna draw this first image, but then I came up with the concept of turning the Tres Horny Boys into pokemon starters so I had to do that too.

I made them all the animal masks they had for Petals to the Metal. So Merle’s an owl, and obviously the Grass-type. Merowl, Highperch, and Flownatruth. While incapable of flight, their close connection with nature has granted them the Fairy typing.

Magnus is the Fire-type. I mean he even has “burn” in his last name. Magnursa, Bearnsides, and Rushesinferno. Their rowdy behavior grants the Fighting typing. They use the whetstone-like features on their chest to sharpen their axe-claws, which they use to fell trees.

And that leaves Taako with the Water-type. I mean, he does have an umbrella. Taakumbra, Swumteevee, and Abracamongoose. They channel mystical energy through their tail, granting them the Psychic typing. They can manipulate the water that collects on their hat.

This was actually a lot of fun to come up with, and good practice for studying the pokemon art style. Definitely gave me a better handle on how they do their shading and whatnot
