ONIX

This is the next request by my Etsy customer.  Onix is the basic evolution of Steelix.  I made Steelix back in November.  Onix will complete another evolution set (if you do not count Mega evlutions).  Onix was pretty easy pattern to design.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Onix and Shiny Onix.
