The full illustration was completed in 15 hours. I used Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom Intuos3 9x12 tablet.

He was designed in the vein of a Shisa, a legendary lion-dog hybrid. I focused more on the lion/tiger side. The name "Arcanine" can also be a combination of the words "arcane" and "feline".

  • Even though everybody in the comments is saying that Arcanine is a dog and I actually do think it is meant to be canine I really love your take on it and you shouldn't listen to anyone who bashes your art just because it's not how they would have done it. I think your art is beautiful.

    Man, your art is just too good. Please make more of these videos! Also, you should make a coffee table, hard cover version of your art book with a lot more Pokemon. I would totally buy it
  • The ONLY thing I can complain about this picture is the position he's in. Everything else is awesome; you are a great artist, bub.
  • @jjclemo
    I cannot explain, how awesome all of your art is, i mean the detail is immense, and idk, it is just soo good. I love all of them and appreciate the amount of work you put into them all! Hope to see more when ever you make more, if you do, because they are amazing !

    Everybody is saying that Arcanine is a dog, and it is because it has the word Canine in it. It's ArCANINE. Not ArFELINE. But does it really matter whether the face is a dog or a cats? I didn't even notice until I scrolled to the comments to initially comment about how frickin' great the artwork was. Why hate on such tiny details, whether it's a dogs face or a cats an Arcanine still looks llike an Arcanine and you can distinguish it as that.
  • whoa awesome I would totally ride that thing into battle and keep the growlithe as a pet

  • @zachlynch1390
    I love the drawings. It is really amazing artwork. I also love that you put your own flare. I would like to see a literal interpretation as well though. Seeing how Arcanine is a dog. Then your Blastoise's cannons are more flesh than metal looking. Also the bottom part of the shell looked too small, almost like it can't physically retract and use rapid spin.
