Bulbapedia description:
Garchomp is a bipedal, draconian Pokémon that is primarily dark blue in color. It has red on its underbelly from the lower jaw to the middle of the abdomen, including the undersides of its arms. A patch of gold comes to a point below the red on its belly, and a golden star shape adorns the tip of its snout. Garchomp has horn-like appendages that resemble a jet or plane’s engines, giving it an appearance similar to a hammerhead shark. These horns allow it to sense its prey from a long distance. Its large mouth features razor-sharp teeth. The feet have three white talons, and each arm has a single large, white claw for a hand. Curved fins sprout from the arms, creating wings that allow Garchomp to fly. Garchomp also has a large dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a shark tailfin. The male’s dorsal fin has a notch on it. Pairs of small, white spikes protrude from its upper arms and legs, and there are gill-like slits on the sides of the neck. The eyes are intense, with black sclerae and gold-colored irises.
My notes:
Don’t skip leg day! I’m not sure this guy would be able to stand on those spindly little legs that end in loose claws. Otherwise, I’d say Mum has pretty much nailed Garchomp’s shark-dragon aesthetic pretty well, with most of its signature features still intact. This Garchomp has a gigantic head that ends in a funny star-nose and a row of eyelashes that say “come hither”. Is this Garchomp or Garchad?
Mum’s notes:
I really, really struggled to draw this Pokémon. Someone looking at my picture said it looked like a dragon in a hammerhead shark costume! And that really sums up my problems. How to combine the recognisable features of a dragon with some of the appendages of a hammerhead shark? Graphically, I like the primary colour combination and the jet-engine-type horns on the head, but the whole Pokémon doesn’t really come together for me.
I look at my Garchomp, sigh and say “Oh dear”!
