And here is the black and white values version of the last post (line art turnaround of same character). Further development of my first real Pokesona!

The colors I picked for Violet here are going to be darker and more vibrant than the ones they chose for the Malamar in the games/anime. I'm not the first and won't be the last. I have specific reasons for making her more dark; it's in reference to real squids and also a reflection of her overall personality.

Man I love Malamar. Such a cool design and awesome characteristics for a Pokemon (real squids, owls, intelligent alien invaders, mind controllers, ect). Nice work, Hitoshi Ariga!
