Description Now usually I'm as lacking in creativity as a snail when it comes up to mixing things like Pokemon together. I just tend to draw them as they are and introduce practically NO originality to them. But, *pokedorks had this really neat contest with Weird Pokemon Babies as the theme.

I was clueless. I didn't know what to draw. I tried a Sableye / Scyther combo by asking someone to pick two random Pokemon and it turned out awful. Then I thought of this kind of neat idea of a Sneasel / Smeargle mix and went with it and BOY DO I LOVE THE LITTLE FELLA!

I call this thing Snearsle or ニューブル (Nyuuburu / Nyubul) in Japanese. It is really hard to mix their two names together and get something that isn't only one letter off!

I have been trying to draw this little bugger for probably a month now and never got around to finishing any of the three billion* sketches I did of it. (* number exaggerated.) So, as per Marriland tradition, I buckled down at got it finished on the entry deadline.

I went back to using one of my old art styles, which involved printing a very-light sketch version on my computer, inking it, rescanning it, then coloring. Weird, yeah, but I was having a lot of difficulty getting it done any other way. The lines aren't as smooth as I would like them to be, because they aren't digital, but I'll have to deal with it.

Picking out a color scheme for this thing was hard, too! I really wanted to give it the creamy white Smeargle body color, but then it didn't look nice with the hat, so I had to make the whole hat brown instead of white like Smeargles. I think it finally turned out ok, but it did take a long time for me to settle on exactly what colors to use and stuff.

Too lazy to come up with a full blown Movepool, but I can tell you that this thing's types are Dark/Normal, and it learns moves like Sketch, Slash, Fury Cutter, and Lick.

Nice job, Marriland! I really like it! It's funny, we submitted our entries to the club within 20 minutes of each other. XD You might want to rename that the "Marriland/Peachfuzz tradition".

Anywho, great work. I like this little dude. Snearsle has the best of both Pokemon, yet is awesome in itself. I love that wickedly cute facial expression, and the choice of red paint on the tail.

xD That's so cool! Sugoi, Marriland-kupo! ;3 Good luck in the contest~!
I've actually used that technique before - the scanning, inking, etc. in that order. But I dun't anymore. I'd forgotten all about that... xD

That is -really- cool! I love how it's got it's tounge stuck out and the pose is cute! Those two work pretty well together since they basically have the same build, yet I'd never had thought to combine them. Nice shading too. And the background has lots of textures..very cool~
