Last of the Johto starters - Chikorita.
I've seen a lot of renditions of Chikorita as being a scaly reptilian, probably because its evolved forms look a lot like some kind of sauropod dinosaur. But as I looked at the original images and started doing some sketches, I had the thought that Chikorita looked a bit like some strange little marshmallow Peep. That led to more bird-like attributes and some fluff on this pokemon. And since a lot of dinosaurs nowadays are being shown with feathers, why not add some baby fuzz to a dinosaur-like pokemon? I think it's cute, at any rate...
On to the next set of starters! Treeko, Torchic, and Mudkip...Which one first?

Chika chikari! Chika chikari chika chika chika chikari chika. Chi chikari chi chika chikari chika, chi chikari chika chika chi chika. Chikari! <>-:3 (I adore this piece! Adding the bird-like features to Chikorita was a really interesting concept. We actually have hooves until we evolve, but I think your imagination is cooler than the reality. Great job!)
