Ever wondered how Shellder or Snorlax would look if they were human? Hold on tight because South Korean illustration artist Tamtamdi currently based in California, U.S. reimagines Pokémon as humans (more or less) and it's just as cute as you'd expect it to be.
The incredibly talented artist who prefers to stay anonymous has already drawn 254 Pokémon Gijinka illustrations, giving each and every one of them a specific character and distinguished looks. Tamtamdi told Bored Panda that it usually takes 30 min - 1 hour to finish one drawing. "The most important thing I care when I do the gijinka is capturing the first impression of the pokemon, and then the silhouette and the gesture!" said the artist. "Sometimes I just use them as a fashion reference," Tamtamdi added. It took about a year to draw them all and it looks like the artist is still going!

Her mom's skull probably wouldn't fit (Cubone DOES wear his mother's skull).

shouldve made her more depressed looking in my opinion, because 1.) skull of her mother on her head, and 2.) cries almost all the time

Mr. Mime is terrifying, but the human version looks good enough :)

never thought that most of my favorite pokemon will become females... But I like it. <3

I loved all of them! I only had slight frustration with one of them, the Pikachu, because the picture showed the actual Pikachu as male (female Pikachu have heart shaped tails), while the humanized Pikachu was female. Beside that, I absolutely loved all the art and hope to do something similar with this idea! (And I am very much late to this because most comments were from 4 years ago.) (I don't know why I feel the need to say this, but I am 11.)

I don't know the exactly translation, but, i guess is something like "if x were a human it shoud be like this" or "human form of" there's a lot of gijinkas like... gunball gijinkas, kirby gijinkas, yoshi gijinkas, digimon gijinkas, popular on websites focused more "anime/manga style"

I can't pretend that I wouldn't be annoyed going from Squirtle to Wartortle to Blastoise with these evolutions... Just when you get used to one body you get a completely different one...
