Summary
APokemonfan has created a sculpture of the two iconic Pokemon, Groudon and Kyogre, out of bike chains. The unusual medium is one thisPokemonartist is particularly good at, and it’s fascinating for fans to see.
Pokemonfan artseemingly has no end, nor lack of variety in how it’s produced. Pencil and paper or a digital canvas may be the most common method of creating fan art, but it’s far from the limit in howPokemonfans show their affection for their favorites. Players have created art out of blocks, glass, food, and through 3D printing, all creating unique works of art that celebrate the series or individual creatures.
Pokemonfan PokeWelder-Zach is no different, with the artist unveiling the latest of their work in a pair of bike chain sculptures ofPokemon Ruby and Sapphire’s Groudon and Kyogre. The twoLegendary Pokemonlook a bit more abstract given their medium, but the resemblance is nonetheless spot-on. Though the artist only supplied three images of their work, fans can easily see how the bike chains came together, with vertical columns and stacked rows making up the majority of Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The paint job on both Pokemon completes the resemblance, with Groudon’s stripes and Kyogre’s fin markings standing out in particular.
Pokemonfans have admired the work from PokeWelder-Zach, with queries as to whether thePokemonbike chain sculpturesare available for purchase. PokeWelder-Zach does sell their work, so fans who are interested in their creations may want to take a look at their shop. Although there’s over a thousand Pokemon, there’s a good chance that many of fans' favorites have already been made by PokeWelder-Zach, as the artist is approaching a hundred sculptures built so far. Players who prefer the third member of this trio may be in luck, as PokeWelder-Zach’s post seems to hint at Rayquaza being made in the future.

While creating fan art of existing elements is a common sight, it seems that the ever-evolving nature of the games also inspires fans to become even more creative, dreaming up things that don’t exist in the games. Some players create works ofart combining Pokemonor adding additional forms to Pokemon who lack them. In some cases like these, though, just building a known Pokemon in such an unusual way is enough to draw attention and get fans excited. It will be interesting to see what PokeWelder-Zach produces out of bike chains next.
