Real-Live Pokémon
No matter how many times I take a look at this picture, it gets me every time. I have this surge of pleasure at seeing something so familiar from a fictional world in what is unmistakably, and most importantly acceptably, a real-life rendition. The fur. The bone. The little claws. Not for one second do we doubt, "That is a real animal underneath that bony skull; even if the image has been shopped [as surely it must have been] to have a skull atop that critter, and even if the skull itself has been doctored to perfectly mimic the skull of a Cubone, still ... that animal is real. And because it looks just like a Cubone, I guess we can say, 'This is what Cubone might look like if they were real.'"
Indeed, the marmot is a perfect selection for a real-life Cubone, for Cubone is said to be a ground-type Pokemon, and what better creature than one which lives in tunnels underground? tunnels created by the creature's own two hands? Yes, I do agree that the artwork for Cubone feels dinosaur-inspired, but a marmot is by no means a bad substitution; certainly it feels much more real than any CG dinosaur would. Still, I have not seen that many "real-life Pokémon" photoshops, and certainly none as impressive as this one. What about you? Post your own best real-life Pokémon pictures here!

Re: Real-Live Pokémon
Uh, do we really need a thread about this? xD You could just talk about it in the TO, yanno..
And I dunno about real life pokemon pics... o-o theres this one website that you can find off google, and I've seen all those pics tons of times including that cubone pic, but I honestly don't think they're that special. xD Just good art, that's all.

Re: Real-Live Pokémon
I don't see the problem. :x We have had separate threads before, and I would like this topic to survive longer than 30 minutes. :P

Re: Real-Live Pokémon
Yeah. Not asking for that website. >_> I said good images, not any images. Yeah, he's made some good (such as the one I started this thread with), but he's also made some laughably bad abominations like Togepi from Ursine Hell.

Re: Real-Live Pokémon
I'd seen that one a while back somewhere. Didn't bother me too badly, but I can sympathize with you thanks to Arnold's Hellraiser-Koffing.

I find this artist rather fascinating. Though she isn't depicting them as realistic as that Cubone, they're still rather life-like. |

Re: Real-Live Pokémon
Yeah, that's a great picture! I mean the cubone one.
I'll have to save it to my computer. |
