Why Pokémon in Detective Pikachu Look "Real"

If you’ve seen Detective Pikachu (as many people have by this point) and you loved its unique spin on the Pokémon world, you have RJ Palmer to thank for it. We always love stories of fans who get the chance to live their dreams, and RJ is one such hero. He started several years ago drawing realistic Pokemon fan art in his spare time, before the production designer for Detective Pikachu got in touch and offered him a job working on concept art for the film. It just goes to show that no artistic work is wasted, and that fan art can open more doors than you might think. We need to say a super special thank you to RJ, as he gave us permission to use his artwork in the video. You can check out his work at the following links: https://www.rj-palmer.com/realistic-pokemon https://www.deviantart.com/arvalis https://twitter.com/arvalis https://rjpalmerstore.com/ https://www.artstation.com/arvalis Kotor was filling in today for BretonStripes, who has been away with work in London since Tuesday. He’s a bit nervous about it but he’s tried his best, so please cut him some slack if he’s not quite as easy on the ears as the channel’s regular voice! Lots of love, BretonStripes (http://twitter.com/bretonstriped) and Kotor (http://twitter.com/kotorcomics) Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB1iRVJTZ1I https://twitter.com/arvalis/status/955654634873344000?lang=en https://kotaku.com/realistic-pokemon-artist-got-a-job-on-the-detective-p-1830396116 https://www.deviantart.com/arvalis/art/Vaporeon-and-Ninetales-779154488 https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/realistic-pokemon-detective-pikachu/ https://www.businessinsider.com/pokemon-characters-detective-pikachu-movie-deviantart-realistic-artist-2018-11?r=US&IR=T "Jazz Brunch " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
