Real sick, short sketch

Sickness pluss thanksgiving equals worthwhile nausia.Since taking my Anthropology college course I have seen PICTURE AFTER PICTURE AFTER PICTURE of homonid skulls. Most of them don't have jaws, and some of them have little fins (the fins were actually for anchoring jaw muscles, but they give off an odder look in fossile form.)

Anyway, I slowly began drawing Parralels between these skulls and the Elf Pokemon (who we haven't seen in a while): Early Hominids had a very protruding face and without the jaw it gives off the look of a human with HUGE eyes and a very small chin. Add to that the occasional appearance of the head fin, and the fact that most of these fossils are whitish, and I think we may have an idea of where Ken Sugimori Got the Design ideas for these Pokemon.


This is our biggest find since the Elephant sonic
