Summary
A skilledPokemonfan has created an incredible tribute to Haunter, recreating the iconic Ghost-type Pokemon out of stained glass. The design even includes adjustable, posable arms, making this a one-of-a-kindPokemonart piece.
Pokemonfans aren’t shy about using any medium at their disposal to create tributes to their favorite Pocket Monsters or the human trainers that raise them. With the series now spanning nearly three decades,Pokemonhas fans of all ages and artistic skill levels, ensuring that new pieces are made and shared every day. One unusual medium forPokemonfanart is stained glass, though fanart made in this style is gradually becoming more common.
Now,Pokemonfan and stained glass artist Gutssbuttmlem has shared their impressiveHaunter design. Haunter is instantly recognizable, with the stained art matching the iconic design perfectly. In the dark, Haunter appears as its usual purple shade, but when exposed to light, the glass glows a paler lavender. Haunter looks as happy as usual, with its hands floating nearby. The hands are the most interesting part here, as the artist used wire to make them adjustable, allowing the owner to move the hands around as they see fit. The artist noted that they’ll do some things differently in the future to achieve this effect, but the results are nonetheless applause-worthy.
Pokemon Fans React to Stained Glass Haunter
Fellowfans of Ghost-type Pokemonand this one in particular have been very enthusiastic, sharing their praise with the artist. It’s been dubbed “beautiful,” “awesome,” and “amazing” by fans. One asked how the glass was shaped, to which the artist replied that it was carefully cut. In some cases, they cut it by hand, while in other cases, they use a diamond blade bandsaw. Getting the shape of Haunter just right considering the fragility of glass and its simultaneously round and spiky shape is remarkable, and the posable hands are quite unique.
This isn’t the first time that this particular artist has created stained glass of Pokemon, or even Ghost-types. Fans may notice astained glass Gastlyin one of the pictures, which the artist previously shared online. They’re seemingly not the only one inspired to do so, either, as another artist shared the complete Gastly evolutionary line as stained art not too long ago. While other Pokemon have also been the subject of stained glass art by Pokefans, perhaps the ghostly miasma qualities of the Ghost-types has led some fans to think of light shining through them, and thus stained glass.
