This little guy is another Pokemon that I appreciate, although I never encountered one from memory. Rather, my friends and I at some point were looking at the online Pokedex, a compendium of Pokemon, and finding cute or goofy designs to share. I found this, and loved it.
It’s a clam, with a slightly tired looking pearl at it’s centre. It by all means should be sillier than it is cute, yet that is not the case. Furthermore, it’s japanese title is “Pearlulu” which is just unfair, really. That’s a much better name, and that’s not my personal, biased opinion in any respect.
This was a fiddly project, but one that I was reasonably confident that I could pull off, and for the most part I am really happy about this one. If I can just wrap my head around rigging and animation, I want to make the shell open and close. I will make the shell open and close. And you can’t stop me. Leave that task to an animation program instead.
