Challenge: Create a Voxel Art Pokémon

Find out how Voxel artist and animator Zach Soares got on when we challenged him to create a voxel art Pokémon from memory in just 20 minutes

The word 'voxel' comes from the words ‘volumetric pixel’, and so voxels are basically the 3D equivalent of 2D pixels. They can only contain a single color, just like pixels, and a voxel art combines them to create their work.

Zach Soares (@voxels) is a voxel artist and the creative director of his own game design studio Bunnyhug. In this Domestika Challenge, he had to design a Pokémon from memory in under 20 minutes. See how he got on in the video below:
