『名探偵ピカチュウ』のコンセプト・アーティストが描く架空のポケモン 「ガーブースターがカッコ良すぎる」「この人が描くキャラは全部ヤバい」

It's fun to imagine what Pokemon descendants might look like in millions of years pic.twitter.com/TcMhynTEn2— RJ Palmer (@arvalis) May 15, 2022

When given the opportunity to do a spec evo Pokemon, I was absolutely going to do my favorite Pokemon. I thought it would be fun to play on the common misconception that chickens are descended directly from T. rex. Additionally I wanted to use dong tao chickens in a design. pic.twitter.com/Wvvbdxvkma— RJ Palmer (@arvalis) May 15, 2022

A lot of dragon Pokemon keep convergently evolving into plane-like forms. That seemed to be starting to develop in Garchomp so I pushed it to the logical conclusion. I also wanted to mix in a nod to Macross because Pokemon loves sneaking in Japanese pop culture references. pic.twitter.com/PmYTHkcoxV— RJ Palmer (@arvalis) May 15, 2022

I was really charmed with the concept of taking a small cute mammal Pokemon and having it eventually evolve into an oceanic macropredator. What better choice for this than Vaporeon? pic.twitter.com/isgVpLGzS5— RJ Palmer (@arvalis) May 15, 2022
