Guess who forgot to submit this to the actual contest?

THIS GIRL.

Anyway...

Presenting, the Ox!

And the realization that creating digital volcanoes is very hard.

So for the ox I chose Camerupt. I've always liked Camerupt and thought it was never really given much attention compared to other Hoenn Pokemon coughMudkipzcough. I rarely see them used, both by human players AND the in-game trainers. The most memorable trainer to use a Camerupt is, in my opinion, Maxie, the leader of Team Magma.

Also known as my obsession I mean wait what? <.< >.>

So yeah, Maxie was chosen basically for his compatibility with Camerupt. That pose took a while for me to draw. Camerupt doesn't seem to return his master's love... Why is Maxie hugging his Camerupt in the middle of a volcano? BECAUSE HE CAN.

I hope you enjoy my rendition of the Ox!

Neither Maxie nor Camerupt are mine.
