Ludicolo with Transparent Background WIP

Working on my entry for this: -> Join the great POKEMON WATER RACE collab!

Here is water-type trainer Lizzy Armand with her Ludicolo, Luthos.

This is going to get some more attention but I have until November to get it in so I feel that I have made a good start. 

One of the rules is that trainers need to have some sort of breathing apparatus. Is the bubble sufficient or should I go ahead and include scuba or similar equipment? Decisions, decisions... 

As you can see, I decided that a realistic Ludicolo could well be a platypus with a short tail. The Pokemon has a fuzzy body, a duck bill, and what appears to be webbed hands. The feet look more like tree trunks but you can't have everything. 

Since I never really got into competitive battling, Ludicolo was one of my main team members in Emerald and then ORAS.
