I've seen another topic regarding Video Game Fan Art but I wanted to start a thread where anyone who loves drawing can share their own art. Critiques are welcome (just be respectful). I'm majoring in Game Art and I make comic books for fun. I love drawing and really want to put myself out there. I know I have lots of work to do to be a great artist and I strive to do better. Here's two pieces I've worked on since I began attending my college. This is one I worked on yesterday and into earlier today. Took me awhile to work on the trainer. I decided to just use art from Pokémon Dream World as it works better with my art style than the standard Ken Sugiromi's. I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile and I'm glad it turned out good. I regret 'rushing' through it though as the trainer could have looked better had I spent more time. Maybe next time I won't have trouble drawing him again but spend more time tweaking and fixing things. Oh, and he's supposed to look like me (in a 'cartoony' sort of way- like a caricature but not really if you know what I mean. I'll be practicing drawing my favorite Pokémon instead of simply importing them over. I had fun putting in the Pokémon as I had to adjust their height correctly ex. I'm 5'6 and Meganium is 5'11- though I'm not entirely sure they are measuring it standing on it's two back feet; Golem is 4'07 and Carracosta is 3'11 which I made a mistake as it seems that the two are the same height but they're not supposed to be. I also regret not putting Torkoal in as I love turtles and it's one of my favorites. This is one piece I made awhile ago. It was supposed to be a street with a clock tower in the middle (you can at least see the clock tower in it in some form) and working on perspective. Then, I found the ruler tool in Sketchbook Pro and decided to just draw lines and came up with this. You can see different 'faces' in it as well which I thought was pretty cool as one of them wasn't intentional and reminds me of a character from Super Paper Mario. One of my friends said it reminds him of the Black Eyed Peas recent album because of the choices of color I made. This only took me 2 hours to make since it's really simple. I call it "Perfectly Imperfect". EDIT: Fix'd the size of the second picture. Sorry about that TBD.

@TheJGG So it is your fault for igniting that plasticine thing again!

I went in my old laptop to find the original stop motion software I used and it is still there so I moved it to my new laptop ... it WORKS!!!

In the meantime I searched the old pc and found ... so much memories! As you all know I am extreme Castlevania fan and those are plasticine figure I made in 2014!

I even attached sprites from the games to show

Not gonna lie ... I got a tiny teary eyed. What a wuss

@BruceCM So I set up so my phone can act as a webcam. Now I only need to buy a nice flexible and steady tripod.

Damn you guys for "making" me do this!!!

@GrailUK That is awesome. I see you did the Amiibo version (I have it )!

Just make that crumbling castle behind him and you can put that (and the other one) in a Castlevania manual!

@GrailUK Seeing this I think it is better for me to just order the Ultimate edition as there is no chance to win it
I am just going to wait for them to announce the track in the Shadow box. If it is not Bloody Tears I will save some money and order the basic edition

@Zuljaras Very kind of you to say mate, but honestly, your figurine is ace! (And yeah, I'll be getting the standard edition heheh) My fave track is beginning so I would be chuffed to bits if it's that one.

@GrailUK Most people like my figures more than my drawings which means I have to practice more and try out new things. Sculpting is easier than drawing ... I hope that with more paintings I get better!

@GrailUK Haha no! I am not offended or anything like that. I simply observe it and it makes me try even harder I see how people react to my sculptures and my drawings

I am not offended by almost anything

I wouldn't like to be on the panel having to judge between the entries.... Probably be plenty of good ones, as well as the entries from you 2 👍

Well, it's difficult to directly compare your sketches with the figurines, @GrailUK.... But do it for fun is a good idea, you can't lose that way
