My entry for 's Normal type collab!
More birds! The female Unfezant has to be one of the most forgettable Pokémon to ever exist. Personally I have never given it much thought before and even while working on this piece it was quite hard to see it in a new light. Usually when I draw a Pokémon I find at least one cool new aspect about it but with Unfezant...not really. I don't dislike it and it's a bird so working on this was super fun! It's just a very plain, normal Pokémon.
I looked up lots of different pheasants and there was one thing that all species had in common: the females all looked pretty much the same. Dull, brown/grey, around the same shape and all that. Had this been a male Unfezant I would've had so many cool and crazy references. Female pheasants are so plain that in the end I decided that I'm not even going with one specific species and made my interpretation a very generic female pheasant and combined features from here and there.
The least I could do for Unfezant F was to give it a cool pose! What I found nice was that it's actually described to be better at flying than its male counterpart so I wanted to make it seem graceful. I feel kinda sorry for this Pokémon but at least I was able to give it some more love!
Hope you like it!

Honestly, i love the females since accidentally finding a shiny F Tranquill in Black and evolving it. You did her enough justice i find, love the pose! <3

I love how you paint feathers. The curl in the wing is so good!

Still better than the male one. For a bird that's supposed to look extra fancy, Unfezant M is really... disappointing.
Though you probably could've done your magic and make it look fantastic nonetheless - especially considering that this piece already looks fantastic^^

I would be interesting to do the male one as well. I found some really...extraordinary pheasants while looking for references and I think I could make the male one quite flashy.
Thank you!

This is just me and my White Trained brain: I love the Lady Unfezant. Sure I caught the male counter part, but I found the lady I caught was bulkier and quicker (probably the nature) so I count my Girls to being smarter then their 'looker' male. They have to do the choosing however^^
Plus she saved my bacon in a Nuzlocke run so I had a winning team with her on it
Love the feet on her! Ready to kick her prey!

Sounds pretty awesome! Bulkier and faster Pokemon usually do better in a Nuzlocke.
Thanks!

I had a female Unfezant on my first Black playthrough, they'll always have a special place in my heart. You gave it good justice :3

You know, you keep saying that dA and/or scanners keep ruining your pictures, and they look fantastic anyway.
I can easily imagine this beauty coming in for a landing. The detail in this is exceptional. ^_^

I haven't had scanner issues for years and the dA issue with image quality is universal. It's hard for other people to tell but when you have worked on a piece for a long time and you know how it's supposed to look and the website you upload it on fucks it up it is pretty annoying.
Thanks tho!

At a first quick glance I thought someone had done my fakemon Secraptor.
The realism is incredible. Whatever brush you used the feathers look very soft

So big and strong, yet so airy <3
I'm glad you liked drawing even the plainest bird, all these birds are a struggle haha
