It’s been well-established that thePokemonfandom is one of the most artistically creative fanbases of just about anything in the world. This is regularly proven by the numerousPokemonfan art creations that create enough buzz to make article headlines, including this one. While the attention of the internet may be fleeting, one fan is currently managing to hold it with their impressivePokemondrawings done in the style of Disney classicLilo and Stitch.
Known by the user handle of u/Troytheartboy, thePokemonfan first made headlines a few weeks ago for their incredibly creative series of drawings showcasing a variety ofPokemon drawn in the style ofLilo and Stitch. The artwork included popular characters like Charmander, Sandslash, and Cyndaquil with features resembling the franchise’s experiments, such as the titular Stitch or TV series fan-favorite Reuben.

Roughly a month or so later, u/Troytheartboy is back with an all-new series of Pokemon drawn in the sameLilo and Stitchart style. As with the previous batch, each one of the Pokemon has been restyled with experiment-like features. One of the most noticeable differences is the eyes, which replaces the respective characters' eyeballs with glossy all-black almond-shaped ones. The overall edges of the Pokemon’s designs have been softened, with appendages, for lack of a better descriptor, “stubbified.” A few examples are included below, and those interested can clickhereto check out the rest of them.
The fresh batch ofPokemonfan art is clearly a hit with fans, garnering hundreds of like within hours of posting. WhilePokemonfan art is aplenty, some of that art is coming from some well-known sources. Mike Mignola, known as the creator of the famousHellboycomics, hasdrawn some Pokemon of his own in the signatureHellboyart style. Essentially doing the inverse of theLilo and Stitch-style drawings, Mignola gives Scyther and Omastar a more jagged, demonized look fitting for the Dark Horse Comics series.
While virtually nobody would think ofPokemontogether with eitherLilo and StitchorHellboy, there seems to be something intrinsically interesting in seeing what well-known characters from one franchise would look like in the art style of another. Several months ago, oneSuper Smash Bros.fan went viral for their artwork of nearlythe entireSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateroster in aFamily Guyart style. The artwork includes several Pokemon, which subjectively vary from hilarious to creepy.
Whether it’s a randomPokemonfan using another franchise’s art style, another franchise’s artist drawing in their own style, ora uniquePokemonart creationall its own, thePokemonfandom continues to cement its artistic dominance in pop culture.
