Fresh Heracross
Starting a Pokemon inspired leg sleeve. It will be my original team from sapphire which was my first game.
Best bug was what we decided to tackle first. I really couldn’t be more happy with it.
All the pieces of the sleeve will be nods to the Pokemon but won’t be outright them. To anyone else this is just a cool beetle.
The flowers are Japanese barberry which we decided on because if you overlay the Hoenn map on Kyushu, Japan the safari zone (the only place you can catch Heracross) lands in an area where these are native.
So stoked on this piece. I love the variation in line weights. I love the placement. My artist is so sick and so pumped for the project.
