In a new fan creation, one artist created a pixel-art rendition of Gengar on top of a cookie. Gengar was introduced in the original of Pokemon and even made an appearance in the original TV program. This time-lapse video brings that Pokemon to life however through an interesting medium.

Pixel art is a form of art where larger images are created out of individual pixels. In non-digital artworks in this style, artists utilize individual squares as the building blocks. Gengar, the focal point of this post, is a dual-type Phantom and Toxic substance Pokemon most popular for its purple coloration.

This fan art comes from u/doughnutsprinks_1 and it shows a short timelapse of the artist creating one of the spookier Pokemon in the franchise. To start, they lay out a framework on top of a cookie with white icing. This creates many squares that form the pixels this artist is about to fill. From here, u/doughnutsprinks_1 traces out the outline of Gengar with black icing. With the shape laid out, they start to fill in a portion of the interior with a light purple icing before adding in additional black lines. These lines form the appendages of the Pokemon and assist the artist with adding profundity to the image. In total, three distinct shades of purple are utilized to finish the Pokemon's look. The finishing contacts comprise of red icing for the eyes as well as a blend of white and gray for the creature's grin.












The way in to a creation, for example, this is a blend of patience and accuracy. While the time-lapse video ends up being very satisfying to watch, it doesn't show exactly how important the original matrix framework is. Laying out icing to form squares that the artist then fills is reasonable the best way to match this creation. Those looking to finish the look are going to have to invest in a similar variety plan of icing, as well.

While Gengar is a strong Pokemon from the original, getting it was always a challenge. This Pokemon falls into the relatively phenomenal category of requiring its earlier development to be traded in request to advance. For those players who couldn't find others to trade with, Gengar remained far off in certain games.

Then again, varying how Pokemon advance aides keep that mechanic interesting. Requiring trading also urges players to cooperate in a game that can be very solitary. Either way, this cookie fills in as a noteworthy adaptation of one of the Pokemon original's more memorable creatures.
