A Pokemon player drew Cleffa in a way that many gamers would not expect: as a human. Many fans of Game Freak's hit series like to draw pocket monsters in a variety of different styles, reimagining them in ways that are not normally seen. Pokemon artwork can show players a new perspective on the creatures that they already know and love, giving them enjoyable pieces they did not see coming.
Cleffa is a Fairy-Type baby Pokemon that was introduced in Generation Two of the franchise. The pocket monster evolves into Clefairy when leveled up while having a high friendship stat with its trainer. Cleffa is known as the Star Shape Pokemon, a category that it shares with the Water-Type Staryu.
A Reddit user known as endifi shared a piece that they drew of Cleffa. The work is of a human form for the Fairy-Type Pokemon, turning it into an adorable child. Aspects of the pocket monster were transferred over, such as the brown horns covering its ears and the baby doll eyes with blushing cheeks. The artist also drew her with a small wand that has a star at the end of it, which helps represent Cleffa and its evolutionary line's association with the moon and stars. The art is well done and lets gamers see the Pokemon in a way that is not often thought of.
A few Redditors have expressed their love for endifi's piece by calling the work cute. When asked if they were inspired by Anya from Spy X Family, the artist stated that they created the artwork in 2019 and that they were more inspired by the magical girl anime series Ojamajo Doremi and Cleffa itself. The work that endifi created is rather unique and helps spur the imaginations of Pokemon fans.
Endifi's art helps show that there is a large variety of art based on the Pokemon series. Many artists have created alternate forms for a number of pocket monsters along with new evolutions and Type changes. Fans have also imagined what a baby version of existing Pokemon would look like, and created Mega Evolutions and Terastal forms for some of the creatures. These pieces help show how imaginative the franchise's players are and helps show the love that they have for the RPGs. It also demonstrates the talent that gamers have as they continue to produce works that look amazing. As the series continues, there will be fans who will celebrate it through artistic means that will lead to pieces that any Pokemon player can enjoy.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for the Nintendo Switch.
