Description
Wow... I drew the Beatles as Pokemon.I got the idea after thinking of what celebrities would look like if they look like pokemon, or Yoshis and the like.
I decided to draw the Beatles as pokemon.
Can you reconize them? Before you read on, Take a guess on who is who. I'll wait.

Okay! that should be enough time!
Clock wise from the Left;
Paul Mccartney as an Espeon
Ringo Starr as a Zangoose
John Lennon as a Lucario
George Harrison as a Growlithe
In my opinion I thought it suited them quite well. Though, Ringo was very hard to think of what pokemon to be too and at the last minute I chose him to be a Zangoose.
And let me tell you one thing... Guitars and Sitars are HECK to draw!!
The Drum set was somewhat easier though.
Oh yeah, this picture alone took about.. hmm.. over 80 layers!
I'm not kidding you, 80 layers!
Doing the background was very tedious too. I didn't know how to make it. At first it was going to be the four of them in a recording studio, then I decided on a rather.. Psychedelic kind of back ground.
I hope it works out.
Well enjoy This homage to some of my favorite things! ^^

Well, good that you like them <_👍: 0 ⏩: 0
lol, that sounds funny, but I decided on Zangoose, cause now, each of them are from a different generation individually(Darn Black and White's gonna throw me off <.<;; )
George- Red and Blue
Paul- Gold and Silver
Ringo- Ruby and Sapphire
John- Diamond and Pearl

Ah I see now. Yeah.. fifth gen. would screw it up... Make Brian one of the fifth gen. Pokemon!
Or not... I'm joking, but even when I'm joking, people actualy do what I say sometimes. XD

Oh wow, I never would have expected to see this one day, but haha, I guess there is a first time for everything! Pretty nicely done overall!
I'm not too familiar with the individual traits of each of the Beatles members, nor am I familiar with most of the Pokemon species that appear. Therefore, I will critique you solely on the visuals. First with the four characters. Notably, I can see you have focused quite a bit about postures. Starting with the leftmost guitarist, who is posed pretty nicely, legs bent, correctly holding guitar, in fact I believe he is the most interestingly posed, even though it is in fact visually the simplest. It's also very difficult to find a flaw in him. That's a good thing, meaning you did a good job! Moving on to the fellow on the drums, I think you did well with his character. The only thing I want to note is his right arm which is raised and holding the drum stuck. He must be gearing up for one powerful "BOOM"! I was at one point, a drummer, and one wouldn't ordinarily hold the stick that high unless they intended to absolutely wail on the drums. Of course, maybe that is what is happening, though if that is the case, the happy (and not grinning) expression would contradict the pose. I would recommend having the arm lowered just a tad bit more. Also to note with the same arm, his thumb is on the wrong side of his hand, I think o_o. Either that or he's holding the stick the wrong way. Sorry to be a little nitpicky on this subject, perhaps I should move on. 
Also, since you put a lot of effort into the background as I can tell, it would be a shame not to comment on this as well. I like the whole trippy and psychedelic idea to it. In a way, they kind of resemble monochrome rainbows, focusing more on shades then colors. One thing I find interesting is that the orange wall that you have depicted is pretty arranged and appears random. The floor, however, is symmetrical, which gives both parts strange and unique designs and almost personalities. A bright and a dark color, both different and contradictory. It leaves the viewer to think that there is more to this picture, as well as the Beatles, then meets the eye. Or the ear. XD
Erk, wow, this went on much longer then I assumed it would. Haha, I hope it's alright that there is so much here.

Wow Long comment! and heck yes, I'll answer it! XD
That left most guitarist is non other than Sir Paul McCartney. ^^ A trait of him is that he plays left-handed.
I'm glad you think he came out well^^
The dude on the drums is Mr. Ringo Starr! ^^ heh I know it looks like he's ready to pound the snot out of that drum, but I raised his arm high up to give the motion of him drummin' and YIKE! O_O Nice catch with that thumb thing. I meant him to be holding that drum stick in a certain way, but I guess it came out akward.
The center Guitarist... or Sitarist since he's playing a sitar is George Harrison. ^^ and yes, as a growlithe, his ears are supposed to be that angular. its how the speices goes ^^ and the thing around his neck is a neck tie. I guess it was rather hard to draw on him, but Its okay tho ^^ thanks for pointing out the shape
and WOOT! you reconized John Lennon as a Lucario! Yeah. I knew his guitar neck was wide, but I never really thought hard about it, honestly. o_o I will try again next time I draw a guiatar.
the insturments were hard to draw honestly XD I kept looking at ref picture of them, especally Paul's guitar. ^^
and I'm so glad you commented on the BG, It was hard to think of a background for this picture, but after looking at some of their album art (Mostly "Yellow Submarine" and their post Beatles album "Love" ) I tried to do it with a trippy and circles kinda thi. I've always wanted to do psychedellic art as well and here is my first time XD!!
Thanks so much for your input, Leo. Shading... has always been a challenge for me, and everyone encourages me to do it (Well one guy nearly yelled at me because I don't shade, but this person will remain annynomus <_< ; )
Anywasy, I should practice more, Thanks so much, Leo ^^

Very cool. I might not have chosen the same pokemon for each of them, but the Beatles as pokemon is definitely a very cool idea.
Excellent picture, I love seeing new work from you. ^_^

but hey, this picture really does look good, I can really tell now how the background was giving you trouble earlier too o_o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the first thing you notice is my big feet style XD Ironic that I don't like feet and yet I draw like that. XD
Hey wait, I draw YOU With big feet! o_o; GASP!! I draw MYSELF with big feet! D=
