Description The colors turned out even better then I hoped for, I'm happy
I think it's interesting that the three base colors + green is in it in very clear colours...
The tails lines look bit wonky, but it has the tail curled around the branch.

Let's see... to me, chimecho doesn't look like it resemble any animal, so I took inspiration from various animals for some of the shapes and just went on and drew this... thingy ^^
It's mostly some mollusc and jellyfish to it...
The eyes are a bit of a side side-story. Chimechos eyes are completely yellow, so I decided to do something different with the eyes and gave it "reflective" eyes. The color of the eye are actually the pupil that glows when hit by light and swift in color. If you've never seen any animal with this kind of eyes, this chimescos eyes might look quite odd to you! If you want to see an example, you could look up any Chimaera (rabbitfish/chimerafish?) or mudskipper
speices.

I image chimecho to just be a small, odd creature with complex behaviour (something as it's described in the pokedex, I recall). Chimecho look like a marine animal to me, but I thought that it maybe could have a bit of an amphibic life-style, that it's mostly upon land but need to stay damp.
I recall they climb/hang in trees, so I draw it upon a branch...
I think that the chimechos maybe feed on leaves (and maybe have a radula, a tongue looking thing snails scrape lose their food with) from the trees, which would be why they go up there.
They hang in that head-cup and make odd sounds too? This could be scare tactics maybe... it could have slime producing glands and a massive set of muscles to make the cup work upon land. Maybe they sleep hanging around like that too?
But I'm uncertain, I need to find out what the pokedex says about this pokemon before I figure anymore
[EDIT] I checked up chimecos descriptions, and the noise-behavior suits well as a defence act. The dex also said that chimecho use the tail to pluck berriers with

One thing you're great at is taking pokemon which are normally seen as just cutsey little critters, and capturing an eerieness which is rarely seen in such pokemon. Wigglytuff is another example. I always thought chimecho's eyes were a little bit creepy. Not that I didn't think it was cute, but its eyes always struck me as slightly... odd. Anyway, I like your making chimecho into a little mollusc thing. I'd like to hear this thing sing. If its song is as haunting as this thing looks, I'd probably enjoy a chimecho choir.

I really like what you did with it, but just so you know, Chimecho is one of those pokemon that is made after a real world object, and not a living creature. Its made after a japenese wind chime like these.

Wooded-Wolf [2007-09-23 00:10:21 +0000 UTC]

It looks kind of like a lamprey. And if you look at it upside down (and imagine the hands as ears it looks like a limbless cat or something.

When I imagined Chimecho into a realism style, it was a bell-like creature with a long tail. That imagination freak me out. Well it's a nice style of Chimecho you just did.

Huh, I was hal;f expecting a squirrely. X) Actually...maybe that was because I started drawing one as a squirrel-ish thing... ANYWAY. Ha ha, the horn thing is reminding me of one of those weird dinosaurs with the elaborate crests on their heads. Only...squishier. Great job with the jellyfish look!

Oh, thats cool! I would've thought Chimecho would've been very hard to make realistic, but you managed it. I'm impressed!

Neco-Ohno [2006-09-30 19:47:19 +0000 UTC]

This is so creative. I didn't think Chimechos could even look realistice. It does resemble that of an aquatic animal. It looks as thought the body has been hollowed out.
