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.

@BruceCM Yes that was the plan but after LRG suggested that I have to saw my cartridge in half I was "obsessed" to make this sculpture!

Yeah & they're sending you another, presumably, @Zuljaras ...? What was the problem with the cart, anyway?

@BruceCM Right from the start they discovered that you cant play the games if your Switch account was not used online at least once.

And many months later they decided to do a reprint only for the people that want it.

For the US citizens they will send a prepaid courier to collect the cartridge only and for everyone else you have to destroy it and send them a photo of the dirty deed

@BruceCM We will see. I hope to get one. I only played DooM 3 from the old one and after I get the replacement I will continue with the expansion.

Got some new "gear" today!

Super Sculpey "Living Doll" switch (from reviews) is polymer clay with nice texture for figures.

Gesso which is a white primer for sculptures that will be painted with acrylic paints. This will make the colors on my sculptures be more vivid

And a cutting mat that I needed so much! It is strong and apparently it has the ability to regenerate itself from cuts

Later today I was going through some old documents to find a banc account info and I stumbled on this very old design of an undead creature that apparently I called "Crypt Keeper"

This was the time before I did any digital art. Maybe more than 10 year ago
