I'll be using the following art for Pokemon cards that will be posted on DeviantArt:

Added Seismitoad to the thread.

The first post of Unova Pokémon is almost complete! Right now I have Venipede and Swadloon sketched and ready to outline/color, but Whirlipede is going to take a while because of how hard it is to come up with a decent pose for it. :/

Whirlipede? Maybe you could make that Pokemon with its mouth open, I suppose. But where would the mouth be? ;)

That's the problem - the only visible "facial" features are its eyes, which are located within its wheel shape. So if I draw it head-on, the eyes can't be seen. If I draw it from the side or even tilted somewhat, it just looks like Sugimori's art.

Official art features it either viewed from the side or tilted somewhat, so it doesn't look different from Sugimori's art at all. In the end, I'm probably just going to draw it somewhat from the front, just enough so that its eye is still visible, and maybe add some effects to make it look like it's spinning and tearing through the ground.

Maybe you could be given the challenge of how the Pokemon would look like without the wheel shape. It'd be really hard. Maybe the wheel shape is just armor, and there's a opening somewhere...

Is this why you're having trouble with that Claydol? It makes sense - I always assumed this was the reason why. (I mean, what are you going to do with someone who's symmetrical along four different axes?)

New Metapod Whirlipede's probably equally tricky.

How about drawing Whirlipede tilted slightly, facing south east? One of the eyes will be visible and you could add as if it is spinning (like you mentioned at the last part of your post).

That's definitely what I'd do if we had an official reference for such a thing, but unfortunately every image I've seen of it has it in a wheel shape.

And to DNA: That's definitely part of the problem (at least with its head), but unfortunately it's also due to a lack of motivation.

1) Even on Google Images or DeviantArt? I know people can get pretty creative at times and I bet there's at least one concept picture of an uncurled Whirlipede. Then again, that could just be 'Scolipede'.

2) How about now? Someone drew that just for me at a Cities not too long ago...
 
RE: Avatars and Art v.2. Read the rules. Seismitoad added.

I could personally see Claydol where the viewer is looking down on it (kind of like this) and Claydol's "hands" are rotating around its body. The same could go for Probopass and Whirlipede.

How about little, black legs under that armor? And the horns on the armor? :)

1.) I've looked everywhere, but I can't find any official media that shows it uncurled. Anime, Manga, Games... It always appears curled up. Neither of its 'Dex entries even hint at it being able to uncurl, so I think its body is simply stuck in that shape.

2.) I've had a pose planned out, it's just I haven't felt motivated enough to draw it. At first I considered the pose would be something like this card or Pearl Mode's Claydol - basically, a pose of it at a tilted angle. I've decided an angry-looking Claydol (after I saw how its eyes look when it's angry) with it rushing at the viewer with one of its arms pointed out (as if ready to charge a beam or fire a beam at the viewer) is what I'm going with. (Basically, like the Tornadus in Futachimaru's post.)

And to Lucky Fire: I can easily imagine how it would look if it could uncurl and draw it, but with my official-style art, I'm keeping things official - I'm keeping it as officially accurate as possible. (Like the number of teeth, spikes, shapes of body parts, etc.) When making artwork I make sure to reference many different official sources to make sure the Pokémon is accurate. There's no official media that shows it being able to uncurl, so I can't really just make artwork of it being uncurled (at least for my official-style art).

I just made a image of it being uncurled. I'm not too good at Pokemon art, but maybe you could look at it. The image: Whirlipede uncurled

I am going to be using Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle's artwork for fake cards.

They will be posted on Pokebeach forums, Neoseeker forums, and possible DeviantArt.

I will be sure to give credit in the illustrator's section.

I'm gonna use the first Mew as my avatar. Thanks a lot for this! :D
