RLP: Scyther - a photo on Flickriver

RLP: Scyther

            Insect Pokemon:

Insect pokemon are proving to be the most difficult to accurately replicate.  Photos of insects and insect like creatures tend to be out of focus and the body parts are so small and fragile that they tend to not fit the shapes of the pokemon.  Improvisation and interpretation are required.

About The Series:

Real Life Pokemon (RLP) is an exercise in the continued effort for me as an artist  to develop a style within the realm of photo-manipulation.  With this and the ones soon to come, I attempt to create a hybrid accurate-realistic approach, somewhere between the actual game/anime characters and realistic animals.

Perhaps more interestingly, this series was originally going to be much more violent, pitting Pokemon against Pokemon in what I envisioned as "Michael Vick's Pokefights."  Pokemon seems, after all, a lot more like fantasy dog fighting than bug collecting, but that joke is getting old now. 

About The Artist:

I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator living in Burlington Vermont.  While working primarily in apparel design, I also do painted and photographic works (as evidenced above).  Contact me at
