TEPIG

This is the next in a series of Pokemon that a customer on Etsy has requested of me.  This customer is even developing his own Pokemon-like creatures.  I am expecting that this will be an on-going relationship that will add to the availability of Pokemon patterns out on the Internet.  This pattern includes the color lists Tepig and Shiny Tepig.
