So I never really got into the Pokemon craze but I've wanted to take part in a Jazza Challenge of the Month for a while and this one looked pretty fun.

The challenge was to take 2 of the original Pokemon and combine them into one creature. I decided to go down the big scary monster route and after picking out the two that I thought best suited that route (Charizard and Beedrill) I soon pictured the composition I wanted and envisioned it as an old scifi/horror comic book cover. I think the final piece turned out pretty much how I had planned it.

Here's a few work in progress images to show you a bit of the behind the scenes of how this image was made:
