Summary
A creative and artistically talentedPokemonfan is on the receiving end of attention from hundreds of others thanks to their imaginative dessert-themed version of Litwick. The spooky yet adorable Pokemon, which has been transformed from its usual candle-like self into a cupcake, is capturing the adoration ofPokemonfans from around the world.
Introduced as part of the fifth generation of thePokemonseries, Litwick is a dual-type Ghost/Fire Pokemon which evolves into Lampent at Level 41 and eventually into Chandelure when exposed to a Dusk Stone. The trio of life-draining Pokemon can be found in the series' latest entries, withPokemon Scarletand Violetplayers able to evolve Litwick and Lampentwith relative ease.
The adorable fan-made artwork in question comes from a Reddit user called MunchyKu, who posted their cute creation to one of the site’s primaryPokemonforums. As far as body shape, the dessert version of Litwick remains just about entirely unchanged, save for a few curve tweaks. The melted wax covering Litwick’s head and eyes has been cleverly replaced by pink frosting and sprinkles, with the remaining body given the color and appearance of a cake. Rather than just a wick upon its head, the dessert version is given a birthday candle, tying the entire design together.
Litwick’s delectable redesign is clearly a hit with thePokemonfan masses, as the post has garnered nearly 1,000 upvotes within just hours of being posted. Comments on the artwork seem universally positive as well, with fans suggesting it be a dual-type Fairy/Fire and that it “needs” to become a regional variant. The birthday cupcake version of Litwick is currently the latest in a series of dessert-themed Pokemon redesigns by the artist. Earlier this month, the artist came up withan adorable new version of Chikorita, using the motif of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
In addition to reimagining the Candle Pokemon as food, anotherPokemonfan has designed a human version of Litwick. The human rendition makes clever use of incorporating Litwick’s defining characteristics, namely its flame turned into a decorative hair clip and the soft curves of its melted wax translated into a skirt. Although not dessert-themed,Pokemonfans have found the design adorable as well.
While some fans have gone about transforming Litwick, one fan artist decided to take a pretty literal interpretation. OnePokemonfan made an actual Litwick candlefor Halloween. Made from resin instead of wax, the creation features a slot in its head to place a tea light. With Litwick seemingly increasing in fan art frequency, there’s no telling what the Pokemon will materialize into next.
