The Pokemon franchise is one of the most successful of all time, owing to the immense popularity of the Pokemon animated series, subsequent video games, and collectible trading cards. The latest title in the franchise, Pokemon Legends: Arceus saw incredible commercial success across the globe while mainly receiving positive reviews from critics.
Ever since Pokemon became a thing, fans have shown their appreciation for the series through various art pieces. Moreover, with the advent of the internet age, this fan art became more frequent and could be shared easily with fellow gamers. These art pieces include everything from traditional drawings and paintings to digitally created and 3D printed artworks. For example, one gamer created an adorable digital Pokemon fan art of Leafon waiting for a train.
Following the example of these talented artists, another Pokemon fan decided to show off their creative prowess. Reddit user IllustriousParsley2 recently uploaded an image containing a unique and innovative type of Pokemon art, a shadowbox. The user has dedicated the shadowbox to Hisuian Growlithe, one of the most adorable Pokemon from Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Notably, the shadowbox contains a small 3D sculpture of Hisuian Growlithe in a rocky and volcanic region. Naturally, most of the Reddit community praised IllustriousParsley2's creation in the comments section, while many also inquired about purchasing the Hisuian Growlithe shadowbox.

For the uninitiated, Hisuian Growlithe is an alternate version of the popular Pokemon, Growlithe. While the original Growlithe is a fire-type Pokemon, the Hisuian Growlithe has dual-type Fire/Rock based on its region. Moreover, the two variants have distinct physical attributes and look quite different. Hisuian Growlithe has a slightly darker orange/red fur with a gray mane and tail, while the original Growlithe's mane and tail are beige. However, both versions of Growlithe have black stripes on their backs and legs. Besides physical differences, the two Growlithes have distinctly contrasting behavior. The original Growlithe is known for being loyal, friendly, and bonds readily with humans. In contrast, Hisuian Growlithes take longer to connect with humans as they've lived in isolation for several generations.
Interestingly, this is not the first instance where Hisuian Growlithe has been the subject of fan art. Many art pieces are floating around the internet depicting the Fire/Rock type Pokemon in a bunch of different ways. One gamer created a 3D printed Pokemon figure of Hisuian Growlithe, while another used TCG energy cards for their art.
As these fans are creating Pokemon fan artworks, many others are speculating about the release date of PokemonScarlet and Violet. The game is set to hit the market later this year, and many believe it could arrive in late November.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available now for Nintendo Switch.
