Challenge The Gijinka Challenge
Gijinka (擬人化, Japanese for "humanization")
The trend of creating human-like characters based on non-human subjects, including inanimate objects, animals, brands or concepts.
A character design game/exercise for all of us Pokémon fanatics!
The rules are similar to Sketch the Above, where you must draw whatever the previous artist has prompted. Unlike the former, the prompt must be a Pokémon that the artist below will create a gijinka for! This thread therefore focuses on character design.

✦ The rules are... ✦
- Only draw subjects within forum rules, which means that innapropiate/suggestive designs cannot be drawn.
- The design must be made for the challenge, you can't use a previously designed gijinka.
- The drawings can be as complex or simple as you desire; but they must show clearly the design of the character. They do not have to be coloured or rendered, a sketch is as valid as a full piece.
- All prompts must be of non-human characters. Pokémon are preferable before anything else, but the challenge of designing a new character comes first.
- Do not request a specific artist to fulfill your prompt, this is not a request thread.
- Being ninja'd is very possible in this thread, since the drawings done for the challenge might take a bit more time than usual; if that's the case, post your character but do not give out a new prompt and make it clear that you were ninja'd.
- Don't be afraid of participating! It doesn't matter if your designs are 'too simple' or if you only draw busts... this challenge is just for fun!
- Use this as a chance to experiment with character design; maybe someone suggest a Pokémon that is not very appealing or exciting, how would you make it into a human?
- Add some notes! Write a bit about your character; this is completely optional but I find it very fun to expand my characters beyond their design.
