This has to be one of the first pokemon fan art ideas I've ever had, and I just NOW got around to drawing it. How sad is that?!

When I first played pokemon yellow, (the first pokemon game I had myself. I played blue when it first came out, but it was my cousin's XD) this had to be the first pokemon that I fell in love with. Just reading the pokedex entries for it can make you feel incredibly sorry for poor little Cubone.

But the one thing you never saw was the face underneath. Cubone always had such expressive eyes, (even if they are slanted funny and make it seem pissed off in almost every picture) but you never saw the face that went with those eyes.

This is my interpretation of what Cubone looks like under the skull of its mother. There's only so long that you can hide under a mask and not need to take it off to have a good cry. So this is just a solemn picture of a sad little Cubone thinking of its mother as it gazes at her skull.

I personally adore the shading on the skull! I am amazed at how well that turned out! *squee* XD The background for this image is based off the trading card seen here: [link]

That was probably one of my most beloved trading cards. I just adore the scene. XD

And PLEASE Do NOT redistribute this without my permission. If you would like to use this somewhere else, ask me first. I don't bite.
