Topic: NintendoLife Artists Thread

Pokemon Sword / Shield starters by me.

Haven't posted here in a good while. This year I participated in Inktober. I've always been interested in it but I'm just too lazy so I thought I wouldn't be able to draw every day for a month. I surprised myself by keeping up with the pace and I'm even proud of some of my drawings. Here are some video game related art pieces:

Bait - I started out with really simple drawings. Here I mainly wanted to try some texturing.

Freeze - I really liked this enemy when I first played Kirby's Adventure.

Enchanted - Shade from Fire Emblem Cipher as a witch. Based on this card.

Dragon - First larger scale thing I did. Started a bit late. I was too tired to add shading in the end so it's not quite finished.

Legend and Wild - Day 15 and 16 had words Legend and Wild so this was just too obvious.

Treasure - Some Treasure characters together. I haven't actually played Mischief Makers.

Catch - Continuation from Bait.

Here are also some colored drawings from August:

Madeline running away from Mr. Oshiro.

This isn't strictly video game related but I thought it kind of goes with everything else. The stepdaughter from Sound Horizon's Märchen in Just Dance style.

And of course I have to post some pixel art too. More Picross stuff. I may have posted some of these earlier. I tend to post these in multiple places so I'm not sure which ones I've shared here.

@Late Those are pretty good. My compliments.

@ThanosReXXX Thank you. Glad you like them.

@Late You're welcome. I especially like "Day 12" and "Day 15". These border on professional efforts, in my opinion. I would also be interested in seeing them fully pencil-colored or inked.

@Late wow. These are really great. I love day 15 legend. Great detail

Guys I did my first thing with polymer clay. I call it "Post-apocalyptic Piece" as it is like a tile of a place.
It is creepy and I did it to see how the clay is baked and how it is painted.

Now I want to do a one Pokémon work. Does anyone here like Drowzee?

@Zuljaras That's actually pretty cool.

@Link-Hero Oh and it is quite small. It is 10 centimetres to 7 centimetres. It looks more detailed in person

Guys I started making Sandshrew.

Here he is after 15 minutes of work!

If someone here like him in the END I would love to send it as a gift

I wish I could sculpt, looking great.

@Eel Thank you!

A little more progress made with his tail and legs.

@Zuljaras That's pretty neat! The seams look a bit too deep, though. Compared to the anime version, they look a bit too profound and/or wide, in my opinion. But otherwise, it's quite good.

@ThanosReXXX Yes in the anime they are just lines. After I make it whole I will play with the details a little bit. After all pokemons are not detailed and I want to put some details on the little animal.

I hope everything will come together after baking and painting.

@Zuljaras I'm curious to see the final result!

I have made the base.

However tomorrow I think I will redo his hands completely.
After that I will polish him with clay softener and repeat his lines (the scales).
And then the baking comes!

I fixed the hands a little and made his eyes to be more accurate with the picture I am looking at.

Now I need to polish his scales and make a plaque with his name on the platform. Also to add stones to the platform. He is a ground type after all!

Here is the final thing before the baking.

@Zuljaras looks absolutely fantastic. Great talent there sir

@ThanosReXXX @1UP_MARIO
Here he is after baking and this is the first coat of paint.

Unfortunately I do not have professional paint or brushes so I work with ordinary ones.

As for the lines (seams?) I have the idea of using a technique called washing. I will get dark or light brown colour and add water to it. Then I will paint all lines and quickly wipe all the excess paint with paper towel. That way I think (AND HOPE!) I will make the lines like he was in the dirt.

I hope everything comes together at the end.
