Description Scyther has always been one of my favorite pokemon. Part dinosaur, part praying mantis. A genius combination.

I went the reptilian route with this one. The "wings" are actually long, flat spines that create lift when the scyther is running, which allows it to leap incredible distances and prevents it from falling forward due to its heavy front talons.

Scyther is one of my favorite first gen PokΓ©mon! Velociraptor mixed with praying mantis, that’s a lot better than 90% of the other PokΓ©mon out there. What is your favorite?

Charizard but only in the realistic fanart, not the original.

It looks so cool! The fact that it leaps and can't moves its 'wings' explains why it cannot transport its trainer by flying :3

I always reasoned that it had hollow bones, like a bird.

Hello! Scyther is my favorite Pokemon as well and I was wondering if you would allow me to use this picture for Pokemon Profile Month on Facebook? I'd gladly put a link back to this original piece if you'd allow me! Thanks.

YES.

YES.

This is the best one I've seen so far as I've been going through them in order. And Scyther is one of my favourites anyway, second only to Sandslash!

Amazing what anti-physics come into play. But yes, scyther is awesome.

I really don't mean to be critical about your work, just some sugestions on how to improve this, the scythes could be like a gray like depicted in he game.

Cool, yellow eye it's got.

Scyther's a little mainstream for my tastes, but this one's cool enough.
