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.

@Eel Really nice sketch I do not see how you could ruin it.

@Zuljaras never doubt my ability to ruin things! However this time it turned out ok:

I tried scanning it to provide a better look, but strangely, the scanner wanted nothing to do with these colors.

Bloop.

@Zuljaras thank you! I kinda want more of these markers now. But as usual they’re expensive here.

@DiamondCore It’s a little hard to make out what’s happening, but it looks cool.

Bloop.

After a brief struggle with depression the past few days, I got back into drawing, after experimenting with eyes and using my Fox amiibo to help me get the fox ears. (And yes, he's singing the song from Sonic R, which is also what I was listening to at the time of this drawing)

To complete the trinity of my selves, we have Leon. He is basically the "evil twin from another dimension" (not the same one as Lisa), though rather than being insane and bloodthirsty, he's more of a cynic who prefers to be left alone due to his less-than-fortunate childhood. Unlike Luca (who uses fire) and Lisa (who uses ice), Leon wields the power of lightning.

Holy heck! It looks just like him! It’s crazy that I missed this!

Also I this might be in the genre you like but have you ever thought of doing the beheaded form dead cells? I think they would look amazing!

@Snatcher Thank you! I am familiar with the hero from Dead Cells and to be honest if I remove the head from this sculpture and put the flaming head of the other guy it will be the same
