I've been wanting to start practicing Sugimori-style artwork for a long time, so here's my first attempt! Definitely needs some work, especially in finding the proper brushes but I'm quite happy with the result regardless!

This variant of MAREEP is much more aggressive than its Jhoto(nian?) counterpart. They are highly active, particularly on dark stormy nights and all their activity generates a lot of electrical energy. So much so, its common to see sparks dancing along its static-packed wool. These MAREEP enjoy headbutting one another in feats of strength, and the collision of their horns sounds similar to the rumbling of thunder, especially in large groups.

If I were to pick a region they'd be in, it'd probably be Hoenn!
Inspiration for this Mareep includes: Storm clouds, black sheep, rams, and plasma balls!
