In a similar vein to my takes on Koffing and Weezing, I figured that the best real world anatomical reference point for Grimer and Muk would be slippery, slimy amphibians.
In the context of my project to sculpt all 151 Kanto Pokémon in a "realistic" art style, I imagine these two grease spills as being frogs / toads that secrete WAY TOO MUCH slime from their pores, making them appear as gelatinous monsters.
I really enjoyed the painting process here, working to capture the dirty look that a puddle of oil might have on pavement.
As I always do in this series of sculptures, I needed to think up some clever nicknames for these two sticky messes:
NICKNAMES:
GRIMER – SLICK
MUK – SLIMO
Thanks for checking out my work!
