Eeveelutions have been a part of the Pokémon franchise since it all began. Getting to choose the Type of evolution your Pokémon has in as interesting concept that the developers have continued to embrace, long since the first games released. With a number of different varieties, there are tons of different Eevelutions to choose from, though some are naturally just more popular than others.
Among all of them, Umbreon has maintained a level of popularity over the years. It could be thanks to a number of things. It’s among one of the oldest Eeveelution’s, it has a memorable design, and perhaps most importantly, it’s one of the more useful in battle. Regardless of why, fans have taken a pretty strong liking to the Pokémon. So here are 10 great pieces of Umbreon fan art for you to enjoy.
10 In Its Element – banndoro
Umbreon is certainly one of the most eye –grabbing Eeveelutions out there. Its unique look is probably a big reason why it’s remained so popular over the years.
One of a few pieces from banndoro, this piece does a great job of capturing Umbreon’s mystique. What really stands out are the vivid colors used for the background. It’s an interesting and captivating look.
9 Well Groomed - 猫耳
Grooming your Pokémon was a mechanic that was supposed to make you feel closer to your Poké partners. Well in this case, the trainer looks like they got a little carried away.
猫耳draws Umbreon in a pretty unfamiliar way, but the look still suits it. Kudos to the artist for trying something new and running with it. All in all it’s a pretty accurate representation.
8 Lonely – banndoro
Dark-type Pokémon can look pretty intimidating, and while it has its moments Umbreon is a big softie at heart. Still, you can’t help but feel for it when it looks sad.
That’s just what banndoro does in this piece. While the emotion on Umbreon’s face does stand out, what’s most impressive about this piece is the incredibly detailed background. The colors and the way they mix into the image is mesmerizing.
7 Night Time - ゆーか
Being a Dark-type, and given its conditions needed to evolve, many associate Umbreon with night time. It’s not a Pokémon you’d expect to see roaming around during the day, and that kind of setting really compliments it.
ゆーか shows that off here with their work. The artist draws this in what looks to be crayon, and it really looks nice. What stands out most though is the beautiful night sky, and how well Umbreon meshes’ with it.
6 Umbreon - tan5
Umbreon’s design is a big reason as to why it’s so popular and has managed to stand out since its introduction in Gen II. You don’t see much fan art focusing solely on that, but that’s exactly what the artist did here.
tan5 keeps it simple, and goes for a faithful reproduction of Umbreon’s design. It looks amazing, and the artists’ take on it really stands out on its own.
5 Duality - さたん
When it comes to Eeveelutions, Umbreon and Espeon are often thought of together. Much like how the Gen I Eeveelutions are connected, these Gen II evolutions are often brought up in the same breath.
さたん does a great job of drawing both of them here. Both represent different things, and the artist rally did a great job of bringing that out in their art.
4 Dark-type – banndoro
This is the final work from banndoro on this list, and it’s another great one. Umbreon’s design makes for some interesting combinations, and it really manages to stand out with this piece.
As is the case with all of their work, banndoro does some really interesting things with their backgrounds. The psychedelic colors in this piece really go well with Umbreon’s design and demeanor.
3 Moonlight - はらぺこ
Umbreon is often associated with night time due to its type as well as its evolution conditions. A lot of artists try and incorporate that into their work, and it works to perfection here.
はらぺこ creates a really nice atmosphere with their work. The moonlight perfectly complements Umbreon, from the look in its eyes to the glowing bands around its body – which also goes to show the artists attention to detail here.
2 Inner Peace – YangZZZ
This is yet another piece that features both Umbreon and Espeon. It’s a fantastic image that brings out the best qualities of both.
YangZZZ depicts everything in a very sleek, detail oriented way. You have to appreciated the level of care put into not only the Pokémon in the piece, but their surroundings as well. That’s what makes this piece so great.
1 Litter of Eeveelutions – Vhlora
Vhlora’s design has a much lighter tone compared to other works on this list, but it’s just as good. The artist does a great job of painting a very serene and adorable picture, while showing off their unique style and take on these iconic Pokémon. Umbreon might not be here star of the sow here, but it – alongside its fellow Eevee tree family members – is drawn beautifully.
