This collage contains pieces from most of my 2010 year at Insight and most of them are Pokemon-related, with a few Mario and miscellaneous doodles thrown in. Some of them are cute but none of them are really that amazing as these was more for the purpose of therapy than real artwork.
Bibammer is a theoretical, alternate evolution of the Pokémon Bidoof and was inspired by a post on Reddit about someone’s Pokémon-related dream. In it, they described a Steel type evolution for Bidoof with a shell and (later revealed) with a helmet. I was intrigued by this concept and got the urge to draw it, so I did.
Even though I’ve beaten Pokemon White already and spent over 150 Hours playing the game, I didn’t really have much time for drawing fanart – something I had traditionally done for each new generation of games as soon as they came out. I decided to remedy this (and hopefully start a trend) by drawing I quick doodle of my partner with the Pokémon Serperior.
While talking about Pokémon with my co-workers, Koffing and his evolution Weezing came up in the conversation. We joked about a theoretical evolution named “Choking” or “Hacking” and – being the fanboy I am – I simply had to draw it. I decided to go with the name “Choking” instead of “Hacking” as hacking might imply a relation to data or computers and we couldn’t have that!
