Topic: NintendoLife Artists Thread

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.

@Tyranexx Here's my Anna drawing that I've mentioned earlier in the chit-chat thread. I've done this drawing a couple years back... I even wrote her name in a fancy fairy-tale font!

This was based on a small statue I have of Anna with her Coronation Day dress. Wonder if I should do the full portrait of her?

@MarioLover92 Wow, that's really good! Looks like you went the extra mile with the shading too! Better than I could do without taking a TON of time and patience lol.

I do think you should do a full portrait of her when the opportunity presents itself.

@Tyranexx Thanks! I'm glad you liked my drawing. All righty - I'll be sure to give the full portrait a shot when I get a chance. I haven't done drawing in a good while but I'm sure I'll be able to pull it off.

I was talking about my watercolor paintings in the chit chat thread, and now that I scanned my Metroid, I figured it would be better to post that here instead. You can click on it to view the full version.
