Nohtyp... It doesn't look like a pokemon much, just a really creative monster. It doesn't really look like a fire type, but I guess it is because it lives near volcanoes and stuff.
*cough* If you were a firetype hunting in a forest, would you look bright red? Especially when you are blind and deaf, while the prey has keen eyes and ears? It is called camouflage. Also, its meat is actually a bright orangy red yellow, and rather warm too (enough to actually scorch the prey). And most only breed near volcanoes. Living is in the forests, on the fields and some rare times in cities.
Thus it was why I wrote the essay like post underneath.
Hence the eevee tail, the pikachu tail and the oddish... uhm... balloonthing. I have a theory it develops through its life, and might change if the Nohtyp starts preying on another pokemon breed, if the one they preyed on before has moved or it itself moves to a new territory.
The way I made the shadows is called cellshading. It originates from the way the shadows were done in anime back when there was no computers (by making the drawing, then take a transparent layer of plastic and paint on the shadow). Now it is simply the way of making the shadows as one compact colour without it blending in with the base colour, getting a rather sharp edge. /Blah
Okay. Cel shade = Way of putting shadows on drawings. Celshade = shadows that does not blend. Celshade = Shadows often used in cartoons, comics and flash games. Celshade = looks like the kirby example I found. Celshade = simple.
