Saw people talking about the new Pokémon so I thought I'd interject.
The new set of Pokémon are all based on animals fro Momotaro, a well-known Japanese fairytale. It features a talking dog, monkey and pheasant that join the hero Momotaro on a quest to fight Oni (demons/ogres).
After entering the names of Pokémon into DALLE, I tried "Bowser". The result wasn't anything to do with the character of Bowser, so I tried "Bowser Koopa" and got the results in the first image. I then made some variations based of of the top-middle result.
You should see the spinning animation of the simulation, makes it look even more like it.
The flower on its head also looks like it could be styled after the flowers of the Allium. They start off pink-ish then turn white.
A. Ochotense is also used in herbal medicine to treat stomach issues - this plant & its medicinal properties are the basis for LA's Medicial Leek.
Okay, so I apparently it's a dogu version of the game's main character. Still, a bit of an odd choice for the front cover of a guide.
I don't think I ever posted this, but I drew this for a Ukrainian Pokémon fan roughly three years ago. I hope they're doing okay.
