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.

@Bunkerneath I know what you mean but now I play WoW on the Wrath of the Lich King expansion offline. I host the server on my PC and I do not need internet to play. I experience the lore and the world on my own. It is a nice experience I do not like retail WoW in its current iterations.

But if there were no WarCraft 1, 2 and 3 I would not be interested in WoW.

@Zuljaras
Awesome! Keep up the great work. Did you also make stuff from Warhammer 40 000? I have no idea about the franchise, but the design of the figures and artstyle is awesome.

@Zuljaras I love the color scheme and the little wire magic

————

Today I attempted to draw the black cat from Ghost Trick. Using the liner to color in the cat was fun, but it was starting to chew up the paper, that was a bit scary.

@Zuljaras thank you! I do really enjoy the contrast with the black.

The ink-like paints have been fun to use, but they can get messy really easy. There’s a bit of a learning curve to them

@HenryKibble yup! Since it seems to be all very personal/specific I don’t really have a lot to say about it, but I do see it and read your comments too.

@Eel Oh good, I thought Twitter wasn't working and/or too many people blocked me.
