Description
My artwork for Absol, the second version (normal and shiny colorations). Absol received the second most votes / points out of the suggested Hoenn PokΓ©mon. Although it's one of my favorite non-Legendary Hoenn PokΓ©mon, it's hard for me to come up with good poses for it, so when I made this I was pleased with the end result.If you wish to use this artwork, all I ask is that you credit me for it - no permission is needed. Thanks.
Enjoy.

I love Absol. I just wish it was a bit more powerful. Maybe it would be good for Absol to get an evolution. I hope they give it one in X and Y.

My favourite Pokemon! Mine is nicknamed Solo, because he's so powerful that most of the time I only need him to win a battle.

I really hope the rumors of it getting an evolution are true. It's one of my top 5 pokemon, but I feel like it can be a lot stronger.

Man, that's REALLY badass. I also like how you've made it look a little canine, like the Bai Ze, who sports canine features.

Nice, but I think it's nose is a bit too long. I think Absol is more lion then dog based, but his Nose looks a bit too long as in the original

Looking back, it looks more like a fox. Or some sort of canine/feline hybrid thing...oh Absol. What a strange but awesome creature you are.

According to Bulbapedia:
"Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the kutabe or hakutaku. The Bai Ze predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. It is also sometimes said to have an extra eye on their head or back, which may be represented by the oval that appears on Absol's forehead. The Bai Ze is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech.
A less likely theory is that it may be derived from the white chamois, a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims to represent the embodiment of death and if should any hunter harm one, would die within the year. It may be also be based on the black cat superstition. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may be a homage to the sphinx. Absol's head is modeled after a Taijitu ("yin-yang")."
tl;dr: A Chinese dog/lion/goat/black cat/"yin-yang."

Wow, that's a pretty cool inspiration.

That is, the most brilliant work of Absol, ever made... in the world.

I like the pose you chose (rhyme). I don't normally see it in a battle-like pose since it's more themed towards being eerie. So this is great!~
