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.

@OctolingKing13 I’m just a humble autistic guy drawing so as to not spend a lot of money on commissions.

Just finished another page It is a bit surrealistic. A giant skull that is turning into sand and spilling into the desert on a starry night.

@Zuljaras loving the drawings. Particularly the zombie cop because you totally nailed the classic Resident Evil 2 look 😃

I made a small piece based on a prompt, and figured it would be nice to share it here:

@Eel Thank you so much! And your drawing is awesome. That texture is so damn good! Is this the gouache paints? And the leaves are made with a ball stylus?

This morning I finished another page that I had started yesterday before going to sleep

@Zuljaras oh my Courage, I love that one. It’s perfect!

Thank you! It’s mostly watercolor in various forms.

Most of the texture comes from the paper itself, but I used paint markers to create some extra texture on the structures and then painted over it with watercolor. I like to think it made it look a bit like plaster.

The tree leaves are also dotted using paint markers.

@Eel Those textures are really nice! What kind of markers did you use?

@Zuljaras it’s a set of Frisk acrylic markers I got in a scrawlrbox last year.

(The same ones I used to draw my current avatar, now that I think about it)

For today I decided to draw (for the sketchbook) a valentine's card to 4 generations of Nintendo consoles and some of their best games!

Update on the vampire sculpture! Added teeth on the bottom jaw and darkened his mouth on the inside!

Now it is not a squirrel

@Zuljaras I’m just constantly in awe of your drawing skills, it’s so macabre in spite of your bright and vivid colours that it feels very different to other drawings like it.
