For some reason Sugimori went all in on Quinty’s nail polish midway through the manga.

Sugimori is the one that created the pokémon art style?

There’s something so Sugimori about these hairstyles.

Until recently I wasn't aware that Ken Sugimori worked on most human character designs that appear in the Pokémon films.

Yeah I mean let's be honest Sugimori generally outright said "please don't worry about those things, the Pokémon world is not like the human world and things are different" but there is a LOT of dissonance to get through here and much of it is very fun to point out

artstyle antigo do ken sugimori era muito goat

Parece o estilo do Ken Sugimori.

Você sabia que o Serperior não é nem uma cobra e possui pequenas mãozinhas? Ken Sugimori explica: "Estávamos com medo de que uma cobra pudesse afastar algumas pessoas (...) Serperior também tem um par de mãos pequenas, você sabe. Ele apenas os mantém dobrados nas costas, parecendo majestoso".

I don't know if this will finally motivate me to start drawing, but as a Ken Sugimori fan I had to buy this figure anyone.
