Reddit user and artist endifi took theirPokemonart to the next level as they drew Sneasel in human form. The post showed a woman with dark hair similar to Sneasel’s fur and wearing a medieval-inspired outfit. She’s also wielding two long blades in each hand, which represent the Pokemon’s sharp claws. People can also find endifi’s otherPokemonart on their Reddit profile and Instagram page @ladyendifi.
The Sneasel art was met with positive comments saying that it looked cool. One compared the character toX-23 fromX-Menbecause of her dual claws, while another said she reminded them of Ciel Phantomhive from the animeKuroshitsuji, probably because of the similar hairstyles.
Recently, anotherPokemonfan also created human forms of theScarlet and Violetstartersbased on the characters' final evolution forms. This is just one of the many ways artists add their personal touch toPokemoncharacters as others even redesign them while switching up their elements, or combining two Pokemon to create an original creature. Now that the franchise has over 1,000 Pokemon and still counting, fans will have a lot of material for theirPokemon-inspired works for years to come.
