Raichu Green (commission)

This was a commission from a client, who requested Green(f) in a Raichu costume, kinda like her Pikachu costume. Thanks for the commission!

If you’re interested in commissioning art from me, see my Support Me page!

Green is one of my favorite Pokéspe characters (next to Diamond), and I had an absolute blast drawing this one. Green’s design is based off of some post-ORAS chapter illustrations, after she starts wearing a black dress again. Her hair’s a little bit rounder, and her boots a bit pointier. It’s a subtle difference from her original design.

By the way, ORAS chapter was originally released online, chapter by chapter, by Shogakukan, from December 2014 to September 2016. After being released this way, either in magazines or digitally, Pokémon Adventures chapters for that arc are collected into volume releases, which may contain extra chapters, story changes, and bonus illustrations. The volume releases are how we’re used to reading manga in the West. (Source)

It turns out that, 10 years after its original release, ORAS chapter is still trying to put together Volume 65, having been delayed for multiple years.

I’ve only read the magazine releases (and that was a long time ago), so if I ever start reading the volumes, I might be in for big surprises! Whenever I go on the Pokéspe subreddit and see ORAS chapter stuff that I’ve never seen, I always wonder if I hit my head and lost all memory since I originally read it. This is why.
