PKMN-Piloswine

Art Tidbits

Piloswine is a big, brown, furry Pokémon with an impressive hump on its back. It also has two tusks made of ice, which seem small but can be lethal. These tusks thicken when it snows, and they are smaller on a female Piloswine than on a male. It has floppy ears that are sensitive to sound. Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur. As it is usually unable to see, it checks surroundings with its sensitive pig-like nose instead. Its hair is so long that it usually covers its small, hoofed legs. Despite the small size of its legs, its hooves ensure even footing on icy ground. Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra. It often digs for food buried beneath snow and ice.

About the Work!

I recently rediscovered an old notebook of mine filled with sketches of every Pokemon from the first three generations!

The Hoenn drawings are pretty bad, and as I remember drawing them using blurry pictures of the GBA sprites as references to draw them from (as these were from before the official art was revealed), that’s only to be expected. However, the other two gens fared well enough (as I had both official art and tcg art for their references) for me to pick a handful to actually turn into finished art all these years later!


I used a Piloswine as my resident Ice-Type in my Black 2 playthrough and was pleasantly surprised at how much of a powerhouse it was, especially once it evolved into Mamoswine.

Until next time,

Cheers.
