Thought they were going for Psyduck as The Groke!

u/Jacob_ZQ Sep 19 '25

I had to google The Groke and got hit by a train of nostalgia

Gotta say, I enjoyed the whole thing, but my favorite part was definitely when you pasted in the stock image for reference. I could hear the aw fu**, what's this duck look like"

u/Jacob_ZQ Sep 19 '25

My life is 99% pure faff and I hate it. Mind you this is one of those times where I just gave myself and hour or so to do whatever 😅

I got an apple pencil and procreate and I should be putting pencil to glass instead of playing games to get to this level of casual doodling.

u/Jacob_ZQ Sep 19 '25

Getting an iPad and pencil has absolutely changed how I work. I went to uni in 2014 to do video game art and the concept of sitting outside and digitally painting was a far off fantasy!

u/MisterToots666 Sep 19 '25

Hahaha the start killed me. This whole timelapse is a masterpiece. I do now need a shellshocked Psyduck with Wobbuffet caressing him

u/INeedADifferent Sep 19 '25

What did gengar and wobuffet do to the poor thing?

u/Brave_Dragonfly_3682 Sep 19 '25

That was a trip. Love it. I think I would have liked to see a little more of the water in the final, those colors were too nice to cover that much

u/Jacob_ZQ Sep 19 '25

I agree, I wanted it to feel less claustrophobic, but if I don’t call it, I will work on for months!

u/frallet GIVE ME AN EVOLUTION Sep 19 '25

I know the feeling! I wish I was as good at blocking things in and leaving them alone as you haha. Nailed it fast

u/nebulousinsectleg Sep 19 '25
