In a post on TikTok, an artist called Magda Swinya Art shared a recent timelapse video of a painting they created featuring pocket monsters from thePokemonseries. While many gamers have made paintings based on Pokemon, Magda Swinta Art noted in a Reddit post that they had painted the picture in the same style as the famous painter Bob Ross. The timelapse video showed the many steps of the process undertaken by the artist in order to make the art. From the trees, grass, and water to the breathtaking clouds and mountains in the background, the painting had a striking resemblance to the style used by Ross throughout hisThe Joy of Paintingshow.
While the environment created by Magda Swinya Art was doubtlessly beautiful, they also added seven different Pokemon in the painting. These included the starters Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu standing in a grassy patch next to a gorgeous lake. In addition, Squirtle, Growlithe, Butterfree, and what appeared to bePidgeottowere visible in different parts of the landscape.
