There are few Pokémon that I feel would look cooler in a mildly horrifying, slightly impressive realistic sort of way than Blastoise. If I ever do another realistic Pokémon, I'd love to do something like a dragon. Sculpting those scales gave me a sort of catharsis I never thought possible, but I'd love to experience it again.
If you have any suggestions for a DIY craft, miniature model, diorama or otherwise from games (such as The Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild, Pokémon, any Souls games, Stardew Valley, Among us, Kirby, Minecraft, Mario, Palworld, etc.) or shows (any anime, Studio Ghibli, etc.) then be sure to leave it in the comments below!
