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.

A friend "wanted me to draw more of my classic characters", so,uhhh, here is a sketch of one of them!

Would've started with the main character, but decided on the anti-hero clone instead for reasons.

I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!

I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!

Thank you so much! They look amazing. I love Ninjara especially. Reminds me of all the times I’ve used him to beat my sister.

I work in graphics, and love creating art, but sadly my current style is too NSFW for this site. Did even make a handful of game related ones... for those who dont get offended too easy my latest stuff is linked in my profile. 😬

@Kimyonaakuma Nice! Thank you. I will.

This is the first boss of the game. Grag the Lord of Gluttony.

He resides in the Castle's "kitchen". His room is the crematorium room. Here you can see him fighting:

And here you can see a screenshot of him dying and the player levelling up:

I have just remade him because his older design was not so terrifying and disgusting. Everything you see is hand drawn in MSPaint because MSPaint rules!!!

I don't think I've shared these here yet. I drew my favourite Pokémon and vectorized them in illustrator. The Toxapex drawing was made for an avatar but I never used it. I hadn't drawn for years before making these please keep that in mind :3

@ogo79 I think that "speckled log" will cover it pretty nicely...

Is something wrong with the site? I update my pictures but after some time they are "untitled" and can't be seen. If I update them they are shown but after some time they are again "untitled".

I use imgur.

@Zuljaras You could try and see if another picture uploader works, to see if the problem lies with the site or not.
I always use PostImage: https://postimages.org/

@ThanosReXXX I guess it is from imgur + nintendolife but I do not have the same problem with the other forums I post my work.

@Zuljaras Hm, strange. Well, perhaps we should ask @antdickens if he might be able to shed some light on it then. He's the site's tech wizard, after all...

@ogo79 Well, I never used that site. Like I said to Zuljaras, I always use PostImage, which gives the user control over whether or not to create a perma-link for your picture, and even for complete albums, if you wish to do so.
I'd say give it a go: https://postimages.org/
