Welcome to the next Question of the Day! Once we get a few more, Im sure an archive thread will be made and linked. Helpful Considerations may or may not help some people focus their answer, these are blurred to not bother those who have their own ideas.

The Question of the Day is my way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questions are many times open ended and up to interpretation. Feel free to post your thoughts in as much or as little detail as you’d like.
Today’s Question:
QotD: You’ve found yourself on a plane with a drunk Sugimori. The bet is to draw one Pokemon completely from memory and if all the features are correct it will be made into a card. What pokemon are you most confident drawing by memory? (Also try it now)
Helpful considerations: Did you do the right number of toes? What about color pattern? Eyecolor? What about ears? Were you boring and made a ditto?

Ummm… my mind blanked without references so i tried? Pretty sure i missed some detail somewhere and will kick myself as soon as i look at a reference.

Why does he have to be drunk? I’m altering the hypothetical. We have a nice conversation and he decides we’ve had an awesome time together. I prefer that. 
and brb going to grab some supplies and draw a pokeymanz
Edit: I’m not going to be lame and do freakin’ voltorb or electrode or grimer or something. But I’ll still probably choose something on the easy side because I’m no artist.

He can have a nice conversation when drunk. But his security would have bounced you long ago if he didnt have some liquid courage to loosen up first.
okay sure, he is shy, I’ll take that. So long as you aren’t telling me he wouldn’t talk to me because I’m hideous or something

Glad to have you here in spirit then.
I feel like i would mess up all the details: How many head antlers, does it have belly stripes? How big is the tail, pretty sure it was flat like a beaver though…
Thats why i went the safe route.
i would think it’d be hard to fuck up ditto, but i’d probably find a way

There are a lot of realizations in this topic already. I have no idea what a piplups tail looks like. I also had to look up which character piplup reminds me of and apparently it makes me think of Lyra because of her hat and piplups two circles making me think of overalls.

Piplup’s tail is like a little cape! What that means for the movement of its fleshy bits and cards like this kind of freaks me out if I think about it too long, so I choose to ignore the practicality of it, haha.
I can see the resemblance with Lyra! Prinplup has more “buttons” as it evolves into Prinplup, and when it evolves into Empoleon, it’s like a suit or lace waistcoat! There are lots of cute little details in pokemon designs you wouldn’t think to look for initially- I think they’re super neat.

my brain came up with an awful set of words to describe what is being described about piplup, but I like its evo line, I used it in my run of Diamond, and I won’t make anyone else suffer with the cognito hazard that is the utterance my mind conjured up to describe this part of his design.
