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.

So obsessed with Yo-Kai Watch so I drew a few small fanarts of Jibanyan and Usapyon. I had trouble getting the photos here cuz Instagram kept labeling the artwork as being “AI” and it really ticked me off. My Usapyon drawings are missing some details and I realized I got the design of the ray gun completely wrong, but I didn’t use good reference pictures and kind of tried to draw parts of him from memory. At least it still looks like him.

For the second photo, I got inspiration from a art idea where you draw an astronaut floating in the center of the paper and then the background is supposed to look very psychedelic and has a lot of random imagery:

Here, I took a lot of inspiration from some of the artworks that are in the article. But, I think my drawing looks a bit like an eyesore from how much is going on and I will admit I ran out of ideas on what to include in the drawing.

I can't believe I forgot to make one of the most iconic things in Half-Life! Right after I posted the finished sculpture, I realized my mistake and corrected it!

Here is the addition

This is my current project! A World of Warcraft diorama dedicated to the Murlocs!

This is just before I pour the resin to make them stand in their river

I will update once the resin is cured
