Welcome to the world of Pokemon Zoology!
My name is Joshua Dunlop, and I’m a Senior Freelance Concept Artist from the UK. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing companies such as Disney and Netflix, and I’ve enjoyed amazing success over the last seven years with my personal project, Pokemon Zoology!
Now, I’m thrilled to present this unofficial collection of 151 realistic digital concept art pieces depicting the iconic original Pokemon from Generation 1.
The Kickstarter has been live for 11 days now and not only did we hit the £10,000 goal but we are close to tripling it sitting (as of this morning at) £28,900!
Anyway, that being said, feel free to check out the Kickstarternow!

Printed on high-quality paper with vivid colours, this book allows fans to appreciate the realistic Pokemon and captures the technical skill of creature design. For Pokemon devotees or art lovers, this collectible art book is a chance to explore the franchise like never before.
It all started back in 2016 when I was teaching myself how to use a 3D sculpting program called Zbrush, and I wanted a ‘small’ project to test my new skills on
As I am shipping from the UK, if you are from the EU or a country with import customs VAT, you will be charged to receive your items. Depending on your country, this can range from 5 – 20% of the order. If the shipment is missed and returned to me, the backer must pay for shipping for the item to be resent. Unfortunately, I’m just a sole trading artist, not a business, and acquiring the means to collect tax on backers’ behalf is long-winded and expensive! I do apologise for any inconvenience caused!
Pokemon Go was at its height, and I thought it would be fun to create the three Kanto starters in a realistic way. A friend of mine saw them and suggested I put them online; I was blown away when it went viral!
Due to all the love and support, I decided to keep going and challenged myself to recreate all original 151 Pokemon
This art book is a labour of love that I’ve poured my heart and soul into over the past seven years. Each piece aims to capture the essence of these beloved characters, from the fierce Charizard to the adorable Pikachu
I strove to depict them as if they truly existed in our world, bringing out intricate details, vivid colours, and dynamic poses
Each page encapsulates the spirit of the beloved Pokemon while grounding them in real-world biology. No detail has been overlooked in these intricate depictions, from feather textures to scale pattern
The accurate anatomy provides a fresh perspective on even the most familiar species like Pikachu and Charizard
The journey to complete all 151 paintings was an adventure in itself. It challenged me to flex my creative muscles and hone my artistic skills
Now, I’m excited to finally share the fruits of my work with fellow Pokemon fans who I know will appreciate these fresh takes on iconic Pokemon
I hope this collection evokes a sense of nostalgia and brings a new perspective to the Pokemon that started it all
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering Pokemon for the first time, I think you’ll find inspiration in these reimagined creatures
To all my fans, thank you for joining me on this journey!
