One gamer has created a breathtaking painting that combines the world of Pokemon with the painting style of Bob Ross. With the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet only weeks away, social media has been full of fan art based on new and fan-favorite Pokemon. However, few have set out to paint a Bob Ross-inspired Pokemon piece.
For those unaware, Bob Ross was a highly accomplished painter and host of an iconic painting show. Called The Joy of Painting, each episode of this television series followed Ross as he painted an entire picture in only a half hour. Impressively, the show ran for over 10 years, during which he painted hundreds of idyllic landscapes. While Bob Ross never included a Pokemon in one of his paintings during his The Joy of Painting television series, one fan has decided to make a piece of Pokemon fan art based on the style of the famous printer.
In a post on TikTok, an artist called Magda Swinya Art shared a recent timelapse video of a painting they created featuring pocket monsters from the Pokemon series. While many gamers have made paintings based on Pokemon, Magda Swinta Art noted in a Reddit post that they had painted the picture in the same style as the famous painter Bob Ross. The timelapse video showed the many steps of the process undertaken by the artist in order to make the art. From the trees, grass, and water to the breathtaking clouds and mountains in the background, the painting had a striking resemblance to the style used by Ross throughout his The Joy of Painting show.
While the environment created by Magda Swinya Art was doubtlessly beautiful, they also added seven different Pokemon in the painting. These included the starters Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu standing in a grassy patch next to a gorgeous lake. In addition, Squirtle, Growlithe, Butterfree, and what appeared to be Pidgeotto were visible in different parts of the landscape.
It is worth noting that this artist on TikTok has already created a number of other Pokemon-themed paintings. Just a few of their other pictures on TikTok include Umbreon, Blastoise, and Greninja. In addition, they recently painted one that starred the main character from the Metroidvania game Hollow Knight. Like the Bob Ross-inspired painting, these other TikTok videos showed the impressive skill of the painter.
As the thousands of paintings made over the life of Bob Ross show, there is no shortage of eye-catching landscapes to paint. In addition, there are hundreds of Pokemon featured throughout the video game series. With this in mind, the possibilities are seemingly endless for Magda Swinya Art if they choose to make more Bob Ross-inspired pieces of Pokemon art in the future.
