Description
Kakuna and Metapod look so much more awesome than they actually are. This one seems to have been knocked from it's tree and now it's about to poison sting something. Except it can't move because it's a cocoon.Will post a journal with the speedpaint in a bit!

The sprite that I looked at was a pretty bright yellow/gold, so that's what I used on the highlights with a little green mixed in to place him in his surroundings.

Yeah, usually I like to incorporate colors from the background into the rest of the painting to help everything blend and come together. Here I just had the green of the grass surrounding him, so I implemented it heavily into the shading and ambiance. The only color on him that is from a reference is the yellow where he is being hit by light.

Could be! Have you ever been so angry at something that you just turned into a giant bee and murdered it? Kakuna knows that feel bro.

Considering its got drills/stingers for arms, I imagine its designed to project as much hate as possible.

Ah shi-
That looks painful as anything, reminded me why I hate wasps... xD
Great pic, it really captures the violent nature of the Kakuna.

Thanks, also can't stand wasps here. Ever since I jumped barefoot off a trampoline and landed directly on one. -_-
I figured these things would be very hateful, considering they are basically just Beedrill trapped inside a shell. They want to go sting everything but can't move.

YEOCH! DX
I just hate the fact that they build their nest RIGHT OUTSIDE my window. Every. Year. I see some of them zooming around now.
Yea, they may be WORSE than Beedrill because of their frustration at their immobility.

That is awful. I like to keep my windows wide open when it's warm out, so I would be incredibly unhappy if I had your room lol. Can you get rid of them, or do you like live somewhere that you can't really get to the nest safely?

Yea, its terrible.
Every year, they build it in the exact same spot, and whenever we get rid of their nest, they build it in a different area of the house... xD
Its kinda high up, but my mom is fearless and is the one who takes care of it.
