Pokemon Fan Carves Metapod Figure Out of Wood

Key Takeaways

  • A Pokemon fan’s gorgeous Wooden Metapod carving has been praised by their peers for the attention to detail of the design.
  • Reddit user Samheck is responsible for the wooden Metapod model, with the fan adding it to a terrarium with other Gen 1 carvings.

As a devoted Pokémon fan with a passion for crafting and a knack for woodwork, I find myself utterly captivated by Samheck’s meticulously carved and painted wooden Metapod model. The attention to detail in this tiny terrarium tribute is nothing short of impressive, and it serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of these beloved pocket monsters.

A devoted Pokemon enthusiast, who is also an artist, used their carving tools to sculpt a Metapod figure out of wooden blocks as part of a miniature creature series. This dedicated Pokemon fan shared the intricate process of carving and painting the Metapod on social media, where they garnered praise from fellow fans for their meticulous woodworking skills.

Back in the days of Pokémon Red and Blue, I was first introduced to the Cocoon Pokémon, Metapod. Being the first evolution of Caterpie, trainers like me would often stumble upon this green cocoon in Kanto’s Viridian Forest at level 10. After shedding its skin, Metapod transforms into Butterfree, a dual Bug and Flying type.

Metapod is far from the toughest Bug Pokemon of the batch, though that has not stopped one Pokemon fan from making a wooden tribute to it. A Reddit user named Samheck posted a 50-second video on the r/Pokemon subreddit of their project. To start the video, Samheck showed a wooden block that had a printed Metapod render taped on three sides. According to Samheck, the Metapod render was taken freely from Blender for easy tracing. After carving out one half of Metapod’s body, Samheck then took another block and carved a mirrored half of Metapod to paste together. After that, the wooden Metapod was dipped in green paint, followed by an oil coating and some cleaning with a towel.

Pokemon Fan Artist Carves and Paints A Wooden Metapod Model

After being dried using a machine, the Metapod figure was completed and placed alongside other Gen 1 Pokemon wooden sculptures made by Samheck within a terrarium. The artist mentioned that this specific Metapod had a magnet on its back for easy attachment to the terrarium. Upon seeing Samheck’s creation, Pokemon enthusiasts admired the artist’s dedication. Samheck admitted that they were disappointed with the final paint color of Metapod, as it wasn’t as green as intended; however, some users suggested that it would align well with an autumnal theme if Metapod were to evolve later in the year.

Excitedly waiting for fresh updates on Pokemon Legends: Z-A, I’ve found myself reminiscing about the critters that didn’t make it to the Paldea region, like our good friend Samheck does. It’s a mystery when Metapod will reappear in the Pokemon series again.
