The Pokemon franchise has a large fanbase which includes many artists who have made many fan art pieces based on the various characters and creatures in the franchise. Pokemon fans have focused on popular Pokemon like Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu and made fan art of new Pokemon like Sprigatito from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
With so many artists out in the world, there has been a lot of fan art that come in many styles whether the artists redesigned or re-imagined Pokemon in the franchise. Of course, not every artist draws fan art of the Pokemon in the same style or method. Some artists try to incorporate different drawings methods or types of visual styles into their drawings to make them stand out as one Pokemon fan artist recently did.
A couple of days ago, Reddit user TheChristopherStoll posted fan art of the Rock/Dark-type Pokemon Tyranitar, the final evolved form of Larvitar. However, what they did is make a very detailed drawing of Tyranitar's anatomy, which divides the Pokemon down the middle with the left half showing the interior muscles and skeleton and the right half showing the external body parts. The post's title states that they're a biologist, and they love to draw Pokemon anatomy for fun.
Following this approach, the drawing of Tyranitar has a more academic feel to it as if it's an examination of the Pokemon's physical body, especially the internal parts of the body. It shows Tyranitar's brain, skull, stomach, muscles, and even what possibly looks like the heart. The drawing takes this angle further by giving a scientific name for Tyranitar in the upper right corner, and it has labels for the various exterior and interior body parts throughout the Pokemon's body.
While the labels for Tyranitar's body parts on the right side are brief, the labels for the left side have more lengthy descriptions of Tyranitar's internal body parts. The extra bit of detail from the artist is exactly what many of the commenters like about the drawing as they voice their praise for that. Some commenters even go so far as to say the drawing feels like it's something out of a Pokemon biology professor's book, which lines up with the artist's approach to the drawing.
Some commenters also voiced suggestions for future drawings, including Pokemon like Scizor, the sleeping Pokemon Snorlax, the Ghost-type Pokemon Gengar, and even the shape-shifting Pokemon Ditto. However, it's revealed in the comments section that the artist actually made their own fan-made art book called PokéNatomy that takes an anatomical look at these Pokemon and others for people to read. Fan art like this continues to display the incredible artistic talent of fans of the Pokemon franchise.
