On their recent visit to the beach, Reddit user SwampCrafter made a creative sand art featuring Sandygast. Sandygast is a Ghost/Ground-typePokemonintroduced in Generation 7. Sandygast looks like a stack of sand, with a red shovel on the back of his head. The original poster successfully managed to capture many fine details in their Sandygast sand art, but their Sandygast had one significant distinction, it had a blue shovel instead of red. The art piece got quite popular amongst thePokemoncommunity on Reddit and gained more than 8,000 upvotes in less than four days.
Fans ofthePokemonserieswere impressed by the original poster’s creation and appreciated the creator in the comments section. One fan wrote, “Wow! That’s so cute, good job! One of the best alola Pokemon tbh, it’s simple yet effective.” Other fans were making jokes about what would happen if they’d go near SwampCrafter’s creation. Reddit user Pepejuinaso jokingly wrote," Don’t touch the shovel. Don’t touch the shovel. Don’t touch the shovel. Don’t touch the shovel," while Glazeddapper commented," Touch the shovel. Go on, something fun will happen. :D."
Fans had only one complaint about the original poster’s creation, the blue shovel. Reddit user WoolooOfWallStreet had an interesting thought about the shovel; they wrote," It’s a trick, so someone will try and touch it to swap it for a red shovel," and started a whole new discussion. Overall the post gained a positive response from the onlinePokemoncommunity.
In its lengthy history, the immensely successfulPokemonfranchise has attracted a variety of admirers, each with its own distinctive perspectives and artistic preferences. While most of the series' fans show their love by creating different kinds of art pieces, one fan showed off their creative grooming skills as theytransformed their dog into an Arcanine.
