Description Wasn't as quick off the draw in uploading this as everybody else...but here we go.

Most pleased about my take on Grookey here. It flowed more organically from me, while the other two feel a bit more rigid/close to their official models. Would like to have more fun with Sobble, especially. I really like chameleons. You can probably expect more fanart of all three of these guys.

Art belongs to me. Pokemon belongs to Nintendo/Gamefreak.

So far it's between Grookey and Sobble for me, personal preference wise. Kinda hoping Grookey has something to do with music (he tapped out a nice little rhythm in the trailer) that becomes more obvious in later evolutions. With Galar being UK inspired, I really like the thought of alluding to British rock music with him. I've seen some speculation that the starters could be entertainment inspired. Grookey would represent music, Scorbunny sport, and Sobble theater.

Personally super hyped for Sword and Shield.
I've missed out on a lot of pokemon, due to lack of 3DS and a general distance from the main series for a long time. This release feels like a perfect storm of touching my nostalgia, bringing new anticipation, and actually being on console I own! Hurry up late 2019!!!
