Another pick from my latest Pokeddex Challenge. This piece was done for the category "Favourite Starter" and I wanted to draw the whole family because I think Rowlet has the best evolution line as a whole (from Alolan starters). The Alola starters were a nice bunch all in all, but my heart was sold to the owls long before I even saw the evolutions. I really like the typing and the concept. Dartrix is definitely my favourite of the line because of how dapper it is. Decidueye was a bit underwhelming in terms of design and battle qualities (Primarina wins the place for the best last stage) but overall this family is just great.
Nothing very surprising in terms of interpretation! Just some barn owl and pueo owl here. The way I figured the “leaf” parts is the most surprising one, if you can say that. Instead of being leaves that just grow on the Pokemon’s bodies they’d be just feathers but with a different cellular structure so they can do photosynthesis. There’s this one bird that has iron in its wings, giving them either a bright red or alternatively a greenish colour, which is really cool. I think the Rowlet family could have either smaller plant growths or chlorophyll on the feathers, instead of them being separate plants. Whichever works better!
I hope you like it! And stay tuned for the whole challenge and possible other picks like this! Or if you are impatient go check them out on my Tumblr or Instagram!

And just a heads up! All of the challenge's paintings will be for sale soon, this one included! More info later!
