Walrein's an unusual favorite--definitely don't hear that a lot.    It's really refreshing to see a humanized!Walrein for ice rather than one of the more feminine looking ones (like Frosslass or Glaceon).  

It's really cool how though the colors do reflect Gyrados to a degree, the shape of the dress (it reflects Walrein's shape more than it does Gyrados' or other similarly colored Pokemon) and the shading of the hair (so icy!) make it obvious it's a Walrein.  The side ruffles (jk all the ruffles) looks so cool and detailed.  The smaller ones definitely remind me of water.  

*skips off to look at your other Pokemon*

Walrein is one of the Pokemon that was never really shaken for me in turms of me liking it ^^
no it's not popular but it is solid

hard to find them in gijinkas that aren't fat XD lol I thought the dress shape did it's job though

i did think it looked like garyados cuz of the color of the side ruffles, but I got really creative with thisdesign 
like her brooch and ribbon bow are symbolic of the snout and tusks of Walrein and the pearl on her side is sea related lol I just really liked her design XD 

thank you you for the comment ^^ 
lol hope you like what you see

Yeah, it sure is an effective Pokemon (just got pwned by one on showdown).  

True, a lot of gijinkas are pretty skinny and the girlish pokemon are the most popular.  I wonder how a Spheal's dress/outfit would look, since it's pretty much a big ball of fat Your dress did do a pretty good job reflecting Walrein's shape.    Hehe, never noticed the brooch and ribbon/ snout and tusks.  Dat strategic placing doe.  Her design's subtle but super effective (/shot).

Your humanized Walrein is elegant. I'm surprised Walrein is your favorite. Do you like her just for her power? Ice Ball is sweet stuff in-game, but I couldn't get my Eviolite-holding Sealeo to use it effectively in Pokemon Showdown. Opponents would either switch Pokemon to something that resists ice or interrupt the move before it could build up and smash everything in its way. Is your blushing Walrein embarrassed by the attention of those who gaze upon her elegance?

Thank you!  ^^ I'm happy you like It! I tryed to be creative with the design ^^ 

well, it really isn't all that used, so it's not a surprise some people forget about it Q~Q

emmerlaus In reply to TakkuNoTori [2014-06-29 06:11:00 +0000 UTC]

It was quite the challenge too as:

1) Walrein is HARD to imagine as a girl and 

2) The tusk are hard to translate in a fashion way

You did success at both however, thats impressive.

Personnaly though.. I would have chose Spheal, simply because its one of the most ADORABLE Pokemon their is

ANYWAY... Next is NORMAL type. Wonder who you will choose
