>>29622823Here's one I drew a long time ago, and like the bull, it could be executed better. Wasn't designed to be a starter (I guess being a 3 stage water type is a coincidence), but I always loved Pokemon lines that draw inspiration from various things.
>>29622868I was going for a bit of "the first design doesn't really evoke what the final design's gimmick is" because modern starters like doing that as well.
And thanks for the compliments, both of you.
