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.

@Snatcher Actually, you can put things only in the big jar. I decided to make to make kids "full"

And you can put anything in there. Ahhh only if there was Elden Ring switch cartridge ...

@Zuljaras Wowie, jars! That looks cool. The patterns are so detailed! I did try to do clay and pottery class once years ago, but I was so bad at doing it and my creations always broke somehow.

Hah it would be funny to see a living jar pencil holder (or one with rupees inside!)

Really nice work on the tiny little details!

The sculpting part is done! I had a delay because I was waiting for a small coffee grinder that I ordered so I could use it to make those small rocks that cover their arms

Next stop painting!

Looks like a proud father.

(Nice effect with the rubble arms! Almost looks edible in its unpainted state, like an almond covered pocky)

@Eel Thanks

Actually, I do not know how little jars are ... made. I've never encountered a female jar or maybe some of the ones I killed were female But I too went with the general idea that this is a father

@Zuljaras to figure out how they’re born, watch the movie Ghost

Either that or they’re like Gorons.

@Zuljaras stop being so great.
That pot is brilliant, even though I don't know the background game, my friend does and he can't believe the detail

Here is a video of the making process! This time I did not speed so much of the different parts and made it lengthy so you can see the details a little better

@Anti-Matter I'm not sure wearing boxing gloves while holding a bat is very practical!

@dmcc0
Unless the baseball bat already attached on boxing gloves. 🤭
I have a pair boxing gloves for my drawing model and I have tried to put something like sticks so it will looks like the boxing gloves holding the sticks.
Not really practical but looks nice for fashion purpose.
Also, take a look my current avatar AXEL while holding his hockey stick and kunai with his boxing gloves.

@Snatcher Thank you! That was exactly my intention, to make them look happy even if they are some weird living jar species

Took me way too long. I drew some of the animals from Viva Piñata with a new art style and it was so fun but the photo cropping was awful on the Doenut. I kinda hate the way the Fudgehog looks but oh well. I guess with any drawing you always need one part that looks like garbage…
