With Detective Pikachu on the horizon, it’s not surprising that concept artists all over the world are starting to hop on that hype train. Some draw classic anime-like Pokemon, others give them real world features like fur, skin texture, scales, and generally very detailed appearance. That’s because people LOVE Pokemon!
There’s something very satisfying in seeing what an adorable Squirtle or fluffy Pikachu would look like if they appeared right in front of you. That’s where Josh Dunlop comes in with his amazing artistic interpretations of cutesy-looking cartoons and transforms them into real monsters. Like take this Clefairy for example: what the hell is this demon?
Either way, let’s check out 15 incredibly creepy life-like Pokemon by the one and only Joshua Dunlop!
