Ceci n'est pas une grenouille (Or: Oh Crap-aud.)

StellarWind Elsydeon Part of a massive compilation of dumb things I doodled today and felt like quickly coloring.

Many thanks to @baratron and Richard for the translation.

For the non-French speakers among us, like me, the text reads "When no one was looking, Frogadier stole forty baguettes. He took 40 baguettes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible."

(And yes, I know, that's never 40 baguettes on that cart. There's only so many I can feasibly stick on there!)

    Love the Magritte reference in the title!

    This is awesome, now I'm tempted to name my Froakie Lex :p Also really nice artwork of Frogadier, plays into its rogue/thief inspiration.

    Most of them are being a pain in the neck to draw for some reason. Shame, really - there's a lot of great species. XD

    Sometimes it's pretty amazing how much colour can transform a doodle. The parody used within this image cracked me up but most of all I'm just enjoying seeing you draw the new Pokemon. Do share more as you draw them! ^^

    Oh wow, haha. So many stereotypes in one image! xD If I ever end up training a Froakie, I now feel honour-bound to name it Baguette. Love it as always, Stel xD

    And before anyone doing French at school complains, Richard insists that _in French_ it's correct to have the "When no one was looking" in the Present tense, because French Is Weird. I thought it should be Imperfect, but he's the one who lived in Belgium for 8 years, not me ;).
