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.

Got back into Breath of the Wild and made sure to take decent screenshots wherever I went. Luckily I could use the camera to get Link out of the shot, since it’s always centred on him.

Finally, this took forever to plan and finish. I'm fine with the results (I'm still not good at making people)

@TheBladeOfRoses That’s really good drawing, well done. Did you try and copy a reference frame or page or did tou come up with it yourself? Either way that is very impressive. The eyes in particular are very well done. Keep it up.

@TheBladeOfRoses Of course I meant it! Those drawings are superb, truly. They look even better the more I see them. Hopefully you can try different styles to challenge yourself!

@TheBladeOfRoses That's wonderfully done! I've been meaning to draw something here myself based on a certain.... experience I've had in Pokemon so I might try and push myself to get it done there now. Once again, great art!

@TheBladeOfRoses Praise is earned; and you earned it. Keep it up by all means. Can't wait to see what you do!

Me... I'm not a drawing person. I'm into photography though, both in video games and in real life.

@Link-Hero This is the sprite from the game and the drawing from the NES manual

This is my imagining of the merman as a more threatening character

@Snatcher Thank you as well! I will finish it soon but today I got the sick idea of making the Doom guy sculpture with my destroyed DooM collection Switch cart. And I think I will have to just go for it!

@Snatcher Concepts? I am just going to make the Doom guy from DooM 2016 tearing the Switch cartridge in half and demons guts will pour from it

I have been working on the Doomguy since my last post

Here are his legs front and back!

If this turns out good I might send it to NL staff to see if they find it original that I used the damaged Doom classics collection cartridge in the sculpture

@BruceCM No weapons I am making this in order to immortalize my sawn in half DooM cartridge from LRG
