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.

Are digital drawings allowed here?

Also do any of my drawings have to be related to Nintendo at all? Because I have a bunch of OCs that I want to show off but aren't based on any existing corporation. I mean, I guess could just have them cosplay, but I'm getting tired of having to credit the company for the costumes worn.

@Anti-Matter Funny enough, I actually adopted all of my OCs. Also I've got 122 OCs so far.

@JadeKitsune As far as I’m aware, the definition of ‘art’ is pretty loose here (I got away with posting some music I’d made a while back) so digital drawings should be absolutely fine.

People mainly go with Nintendo-influenced stuff because that’s naturally going to have the most receptive audience, but I don’t think there are any rules on it!

I know I said I'd never draw copyrighted characters again, but now the urge to draw myself with Pandora and Phosphora (from Kid Icarus: Uprising) is rising.

@JadeKitsune Why wouldn’t you? If you want to, do it, drawing is supposed to be something you enjoy, and if you enjoy drawing that, do so.

Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

Here's an older one I did early this year when I decided to be like TheOdd1sOut and just draw characters as blobs (and he's got a Netflix animated series!), this one of Link from "Breath of the Wild"

Link belongs to Nintendo... yada yada yada...
