Pokemon Fan Gives Totodile a Bard-Themed Makeover
Totodile receives an impressive makeover thanks to one creative fan artist, reimagining the Water-type Pokemon as a musical bard.
Reddit user samheck shared their latest creation, which is a Jolteon made primarily out of wood with additional materials added to give it an extra bit of flare. A video uploaded by the artist demonstrates some of the process they went through. The Jolteon was made out of three blocks of wood, with olive wood making up the majority of its body, while maple wood made up the ruff of the Pokemon. The detail work required to get the shape of Jolteon right is quite impressive to watch. Jolteon got some special touches, too, with ebony being used for its eyes, nose, and the dark parts of its inner ears, while thin slivers of abalone were added to the Electric-type Pokemon‘s spikes to give it a shimmering and shiny appearance. A final close-up on the Jolteon shows just how detailed every facet of it is despite it being small enough to fit in the artist’s hand.
Pokemon Fans Are Enthusiastic About Wooden Jolteon
Numerous fellow Pokemon fans have shared their praise with the artist, and also asked some questions. Several fans were curious about buying this particular Jolteon, but unfortunately for them, the item is not for sale. However, the artist did mention that they do have occasional giveaways on their Instagram account, so followers might luck out and see something similar offered in the future. Another fan wondered how long it took, to which the artist said that it took “too long” and that they estimated spending somewhere between 30-40 hours on the Electric-type wood carved Pokemon. However, the important thing is that the artist enjoys what they do.
Small Pokemon figurines are available to purchase from official sources, but wooden figures are something that fans aren’t likely to find on store shelves. Artistically-inclined Pokemon fans have a tendency to come up with all kinds of creative ways to celebrate the series, whether they’re using glass, lasers, metal, wood, or something else to make their favorites.
