>>27167535No-one is responding to you because "muh cluttered concept art!" is a tired non-argument that doesn't indicate shit one way or another. Neither (You) nor I nor anyone knows what kind of artist drew this, for what purpose they drew it and under what circumstances they did, and pretending that there's some sort of rule that all Pokemon concept art will always look the same it has always done forever is disingenuous and barely even true if one compares concept art between generations.
The tiny leftmost drawing of Owl 3 isn't shaded, by the way.
