PopularPokemonfan art often mixes the Nintendo franchise with other intellectual properties, with the latest one focusing onThe Nightmare Before Christmasmakeovers for Charmander and Togepi. The first two generations of Pokemon continue to get commemorated through regularPokemonfan creations, and the aforementionedNightmare Before Christmasalterations could be among the most unique.
Gaming fan art has existed for many years, with some of the most incredible recent pieces revolving aroundGenshin Impact,Elden Ring,Minecraft, andPokemon. SincePokemon Red and Bluewere released, the community has commemorated its favorite Pokemon, created entirely unique ones, and imagined some as popular characters from other franchises. WithThe Nightmare Before Christmasreleasing a few years before theGen 1Pokemongames, this fan may have held the two in the same place in their mind before making these incredible 3D models.

Reddit user Dense-Huckleberry-50 recently shared two images and a video of theirNightmare Before Christmas-inspired 3D models of Charmander and Togepi which are made to look like Jack Skellington and Sally respectively. MatchingThe Nightmare Before Christmastheme, there’s also a background for both Charmander and Togepi that reflects the twisted landscape from the claymation Tim Burton film with the moon taking up most of it. Taking around four months to create the twoNightmare Before Christmas-themed Pokemon, Dense-Huckleberry-50 3D printed the figures using an FDM and painted them with significant attention to detail through airbrushing.
Doing its best Jack impersonation, Charmander is painted to have the striped suit jacket, white and black bat bow tie, and the iconic sunken eyes and stitched lips that combine to represent a lot ofThe Nightmare Before Christmasmerchandise. Togepi fittingly maintains the aesthetic with similarly pale skin, but features the yellow, purple, and blue clothing that’s worn by Sally inThe Nightmare Before Christmas, with a stitch pattern surrounding each color to accurately reflect its patchwork nature. The stitch pattern goes beyond Togepi’s painted clothing and wraps around its hands, up to its wavy head, and across its smiling face, made synonymous with the creature through thePokemonanime.
While Dense-Huckleberry-50 gave otherPokemonfans a good idea of how theirNightmare Before Christmasversions of Charmander and Togepi were created, they kept the 3D model design specifics to themselves. Dense-Huckleberry-50’sPokemoncreation joins several other impressive3D Pokemon models, but the Reddit user hasn’t stated whether they’ll be selling replicas as some of the others have.
