I just wanted to draw a fat Raichu as a warm-up after talking to fantasyleader about them, but I liked the sketch enough to work it into a previous picture, with some minor tweaks.
Funny enough, the hardest thing about the picture was trying to wrap my mind around how I should do Raichu's hands. I mean, I wanted to give him fingers (as opposed to the little nubby things that the Pokemon has in canon), and in the end, I made his hands more like Pikachu's, with tiny little fingers.
Also gave Raichu some details that make him look like Cheekers slightly, since I named my Raichu in Let's Go Eevee that. (Although, the Cheekers name belonged to that Raichu first, and I gave the mouse design that name, so its come full-circle now.)
Once again, Alex is fantasyleader's character, Cheekers is mine, and Pokemon belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak and The Pokemon Company International...
