My first entry for 's contest [link]
The first entry is supposed to be a Pokemon in realistic style. I know you might expect Aerodactyl or even Skarmory or somethin' else, but I'm just gonna enter Lapras. See, a while back I had the mood to draw a realistic Lapras, partly inspired by 's Pokemon depictions. I've always thought of good ol' Lapras as a plesiosaur, so I drew it as one. I like how the hissing head turned out, gotta love all those super-sharp teeth

The Lapras (Nessiteras laplace) is a sea-dwelling relic of the ages past. It raises its young in the safety of coastal bays and harbors, and, not knowing man as a predator, allows other Pokemon and people to ride on the back of its shell, which it apparently evolved out of protection against its main predator, Gyarados. Its powerful flippers and tail help propel it in the water at speeds of up to 30 miles an hour. Capable of maintaining a stable body temperature and living off a diet of fish and seaweed, it can adapt to any kind of sea or ocean, including the freezing Arctic north.
Lapras live in groups of 20 or more, 40 if you include juveniles, with about twice as many females as males. Males often compete for these harems, and also help find food for their Apras youngsters, which number at least dozen per herd. They have evolved a highly complex vocal system which allows them to communicate with each other and rival pods, and hunt and defend themselves with a powerful sonic burst. If threatened by Sharpedo or other foes, they will bunch together in a circle like whales, with the Apras infants in the center of the pod, and unleash a fury of sound and teeth that can deter almost any foe.

So before anyone asks, yes, Lapras will have a pre-evo in my region! I'm gonna post it after my contest entries and my new Kroel Gym Leaders. And I'll try and make a realistic Skarmory too for the lulz, if you like ^^
