Jake Redesign 2016

To start off, a big sorry to those of you who loved him as a Lucario. I know this sort of change can really suck, but as I hope I've made clear in the past, I'm just tired of having OCs who I can't really claim 100% ownership of. I love Pokemon and still do, but aside from Tick, my Wigglytuff boi, I'll be gradually tweaking or revising all my characters who are based on other franchises so that I can finally call them mine. In some cases that may just be as minor as Carrie not being called a creeper anymore, with no actual change to her design. But in the case of Jake and April, it's necessary to change them so that they really aren't Pokemon. Thus, Jake's now a wolf (albeit a strangely coloured wolf~) and April's a bunny, as are Jamie and Jackie. While I feel the twins are far enough away from Lopunny that they don't need a redesign, April will be getting a minor one, but not as much as Jake's.

I hope this isn't a deal breaker for those of you who really like Jake. He's still the same old Jake. He just looks different now. To be honest, it wasn't too much of a stretch to make him a wolf boy, since he never really looked too much like a Lucario anyway~ Needless to say, this is how I'll be drawing him from now on. Hope you guys like!
