Description
Yay Relicanth! I absolutely adore this Pokemon.The Pokemon itself is based on the Coelacanth, a prehistoric-based fish (That still exists today!). However, this picture here is more based off the Dunkleostus, a massive beastie of a critter that dwelled a loooong time ago. It had a longer body than the Coelacanth, and a larger plate-covering.
I've sort of fused the two
OH WELL.
Entry to ~lemurkat 's competition.
Sadly it can't go in my realism project as it's too big, and it's landscape instead of portrait D:

I love the flexible effect you gave to it... also, I love how the sprite animators made the shiny blue green like real celeocanth... that just rocks!

I just love the intimidating expression of Relicanth you drew. Just brings a chill down the spine. I love it.

o3o Yup, I saw one myself in some random aquarium place in Canada! ... I think. Or something that looked very much like a coelacanth. xDD;

That's interesting. Did he have bony plates covering his body just like the ones from back in the day or did it just look like a fish on steroids?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
X3 Well, it had kinda massive scales if I recall correctly o3o It had a lot of chunky fins and a sorta diamond-ish tail, so... I DUNNO

Lol, okay that's cool. If Coelacanths still exist, then lord knows what else still lurks beneath the dark waves of the ocean. *cough, Megalodon, cough*

Oh ok, he must be cranky then because most people don't draw him.

An old fish that still lives today.
I wonder why grandparents aren't like that.

This is an epic win! Awesome job on doing such a rarely seen Pokemon! (both figuratively and literally)

Relicanth are awesome. They hold green shards xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, on R/S/E they do. 
Corsola hold red shards, Chinchou hold yellow shards, Clamperl hold blue shards, and Relicanth hold green shards. However it's incredibly hard to get a green shard as Relicanth rarely appear anyway.

I may not be able to keep up with the large upload you are planning to do (I read about it in your journal), but let me say your pencil pictures are awesome
