Daily Creativity: Snorlax with Rory

The Snorlax is one of my favorite pokemon. Today I painted Rory and his friend snoozing. I thought of adding a Totoro to the snuggle pile but I thought that would disrupt the composition. I think I like this pokemon most because it’s big and sleeps a lot. He looks like he would be a good snuggler too. I never like the story part of the game where you have to wake him up with a flute, just let him nap, don’t wake him. Then again pokemon at it’s core is kinda a cruel notion when you think about it from the animal’s point of view. Trapped in tiny balls and forced to fight for humans? No thanks. My snoozing friend here is great because he doesn’t conform to that standard, he finds a bridge and takes a nap.
