Reference sheet for my Raichu OC / Pokésona, Rain 🧡

Any additional information will be in the replies! ⬇️

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #raichu #oc #pokesona

Traditional art of Pokémon - reference sheet of a Raichu original character.
Title says "Rain the Raichu - OC / Pokésona of RaincoatRodent". The design is at the center - a Raichu wearing a yellow raincoat with three black buttons, two pockets, and black accents on the sleeves, pockets, and the edge of the raincoat and its hood, as well as a red scarf and an accessory resembling a sunflower (with two sunflowers, one on each side) on his tail.
On the left, there are two drawings of Rain at a 3/4 angle, described as "Main look: hood down, raincoat unbuttoned" and "Depending on the premise of the artwork, hood can be up, and / or raincoat can be buttoned up".
At the bottom, there's a reference for how the eyes should generally be drawn, described as "eye shape: slightly curved at top for most expressions," and examples of a happy, sad, and angry expression with those eyes.
In the top right, the clothing is shown: the yellow raincoat, at three different angles to show the opening for the tail at the bottom, and that the black accents are only on the outside parts of the raincoat, not on the inside; the red scarf; and the sunflower tail accessory, with two angles showing how it looks on the tail, and a demonstration of how it consists of two connected semicircle parts that clip around the tail.
Below, the colors present in the design are shown, with text next to the colors saying "regular Raichu colors (& fur patterns) under raincoat" and "raincoat, scarf, flower (Pikachu color scheme)".
Below that, there's text saying "Personality: Whatever you imagine my personality to be... I'm curious what other people might think I'm like!"

If I hadn't won the previous one, I would have made a joke guess that each of them has a tail 🤭

Additional thoughts and proper birthday wishes will be in the replies!

Traditional art of Pokémon - Nolag (a Raichu OC wearing a sunhat with a Thunder Stone on it, and with flowers in place of the electric cheek pouches) is sitting on a small bench, reading a book to a group of Pichu. Three Pichu are on a picnic blanket below him: one is happily munching on a chocolate chip cookie, with a plate of cookies visible nearby; one is lying on their stomach, listening attentively; and one is staying hydrated by drinking water from a cup, with a pitcher of water nearby. There are also cups for each Pokémon present visible throughout the scene. A fourth Pichu is on Nolag's head under his sunhat, looking curiously at the book. In the background, there's a green watering can, and a wooden fence.

The leftover text in the top right...

Is this an album cover, with "to dislike" as the title? 🤭

I'm glad; but the next logical step would be to learn to draw it in such a way thay the idea is clear to see without needing an explanation, wouldn't chu say?

In any case, it's good to get feedback, and pointers for what needs more work! Thanks once more! 😊

RaincoatRodent @raincoatrodent.bsky.social · 12h

Thank you! I thought that was the part that needs the most work for future pieces, especially with my lines not being very steady, but I'm actually really happy to hear that even that has a nice look to it 😄 🩵💚💙💛

RaincoatRodent @raincoatrodent.bsky.social · 12h

Ooooh, hmmmm, yes, that's a pretty cool look indeed-! 👀

I'll be sure to hang onto this, and keep it in mind! Thank you!

RaincoatRodent @raincoatrodent.bsky.social · 12h

getting deeper the further you go. But, yeah, I agree that it doesn't look quite right here. Still, you gotta try things out to learn!

I really appreciate that you gave me honest and detailed feedback, thank you so much 😊 (2/2)

Thank you, I'm happy that you like it, and I really appreciate the detailed feedback too! 🩵💚💙💛

With the water lines under Lapras, I wanted to have two "phases" of the sand gradually transitioning into water, since the shore of a beach isn't a steep drop into water, but rather (1/2)

RaincoatRodent @raincoatrodent.bsky.social · 12h

Interesting... Would the line be a temporary (pencil) one, just to guide where the dots should be more concentrates, with only the dots remaining in the final image? And, repeated concentrations across the sand's surface for multiple "tiny mini-dunes" to give it a more varied shape? 🤔

RaincoatRodent @raincoatrodent.bsky.social · 12h

Admittedly, the sand was just something I thought of and went for near the end, without putting much thought into it, just to see what would come of it... I wouldn't say it's the best part here, yeah. Would probably be worth looking into how to draw something like that more properly-! (2/2)

The same idea, AND we both happened to realize that this lines up with the anniversary!

Thank you for your kind words, very happy to hear I did well on those things! 🩵💚💙💛 (1/2)

Again, feedback is welcome! I'm already aware that me struggling to draw straight, steady lines is holding me back quite a bit (just look at my attempt to draw the water), and I really hope I can get better at it with practice. But I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on all the other things!

RaincoatRodent @raincoatrodent.bsky.social · 13h

As soon as I went through the list of prompts earlier this month, I know that this is one I'd really like to do, since one particular Lapras ride came to mind 😄

And what do you know, apparently October 12 just so happens to be the release date of Explorers of Sky in the US as well! How perfect! 😁

(Feedback on how I did with the hatching is very welcome!)

Traditional art of Pokémon - a fineliner-only drawing with hatching shading, loosely based on a scene from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, where Lapras is about to take Hero, Partner and Grovyle to the Hidden Land. Lapras is at the beach, with Grovyle having already climbed onto his shell, while Piplup is helping Pikachu climb on.
