Title: I was drawing some pokemon...
Post by: Sora on August 24, 2010, 05:52:13 PM
So, yea every time PU team asks for artists, I curse myself for not being born 2 years sooner.
So, I decited to try and draw some simple pokemon, than advancing on to harder ones.

But after 2 years all pokemon sprites will probably be made...
Anyway, I'm here to show some of my artwork:

How I usually draw pokemon:

Me, trying to draw pokemon in a sprite-way:

Sadly, I can't draw pokemon on computer, my graphicall tablet broke down, and is currently getting repaired. But I have photoshop and Ilustratior to work with.

Please, tell me what you think!! ^^

I think those drawing's are excellent. They really have a unique feel to them similar to the style of Ken Sugimori, the concept artist for Pokemon. In fact, I'd love to see you try and color them.

As for the actual images themselves, I think you flawlessly simplified the Pokemon into a few simple shapes and line types. They came out great.

But seriously, they are very good. I, too, would like to see how well they turn out in-color.

Taaaaa Daaaaah!!!!
(http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab305/Kamnicanka/swablu-myfirsteversprite-1.jpg?t=1282677376)

Clean and done!! Lines in Ilustarator, colored in Photoshop!!
I AM SO PROUD OF IT! ^^

Gif version;

It's not all that perfect, if you look closely, I'm still not very used to ilustrator and shadeing is a bit weird... But It's my first try XD


I wish I could be a PU artist to...
I have programs, I have skills to draw easier pokemon (even that helps to reduce time), I have will to do it....
Damn age...

Drifloon! It looks just like a real sprite  ;D

Drifloon looks wonderful. I was right about them being in color. Keep up the great work, Sora.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't see any reason why you can't help us, but I am not the artist.

However, I do have a potential offer for you that is only sort of working for the game; join me on IRC, and I will explain more.

Looks Very Good, I Look Forward To Seeing More Of Your Work.

Damn.

You're amazing, Sora.
Seriously, you're better than me... and that's saying something. (Joke, I'm not that vain).

You're seriously awesome.
Age restrictions my arse, you should be a PU artist.

The age restriction is more of a formality than anything else. It's more about being mature and we've found that younger people aren't usually as mature as the older ones (go figure ;))

But, regardless, one of our artists, Alais I believe, looked at Sora's work and liked it and if I'm not mistaken, gave Sora some work to see how well he/she can do.

That being said, and I hate to be a debbie downer, but I'm not impressed. While the images are better than what we normally see, I'm not sure they're good enough for the type of art PU is getting known for.

These pictures are extremely simplistic and do not provide a great idea of Sora's abilities.  Most of these Pokemon are also blocky and much easier to draw. So I won't really be impressed until I see some more complicated Pokemon in different poses.

OK, I'll get down to work on more complicated pokemon.
Here are some other pictures you can look at;

Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up, now that school's starting.

Awesome!

Lucario looks like he's wearing boxer shorts instead of having the puffed up things, but still looks cool.

Seriously, you are a good artist.
Title: Re: I was drawing some pokemon...
Post by: Sora on August 31, 2010, 08:23:23 PM
Yea, Lucario isn't very good...
But I like the rest~
Title: Re: I was drawing some pokemon...
Post by: Jerry on August 31, 2010, 09:08:03 PM
The last four ones are more difficult to draw than the previous ones >.<

You'll have to get more practice with them.

My feedbacks on the last ones:
I think that Lucario is a little to high and thin. Its legs, paws and head seem 'square-ish'.
I don't know what's wrong with Raikou, but it's funny :D (Sorry for laughing). It's maybe the head, it's a little too 'long'.
Scizor has the same thing. It looks long and skinny.
In Registeel, the 'circular base' between the body and the legs is a little too large. The legs are cylindrical instead of becoming a little smaller as it goes up.

I hope that this will count as positive feedback to improve your drawings :)

Post by: Raikt on August 31, 2010, 11:43:31 PM
I think the hands and hair on the anime styled ones are well done. They are rather complex, and coming from someone who has taken (and failed) at art,  I know how hard they can be to manage. For the Pokemon, I think they are all well done. I really like Registeel and Raikou. Though, as Jerry said, I think Scizor is too skinny.

He is a bulky Pokemon by nature, due to typing and stats. So, to me, it just looks a bit odd to have him that skinny. Otherwise, I think you actually improved upon your first posts.
Title: Re: I was drawing some pokemon...
Post by: Sam on August 31, 2010, 11:48:23 PM
I disagree with Jerry's claim that Raikou's face is too "long". I think Raikou was drawn fantastically, and instead of looking angry like artists usually draw it, it looks very calm.
Title: Re: I was drawing some pokemon...
Post by: Sora on September 01, 2010, 07:15:00 AM
Yea, you're right, I'll keep in mind those changes when I put them in Ilustrator. It's easier to edit skinnyness there than on paper.
*sigh* I guess I can't can't go over my own style, so art program editing will have to do...
Anyway, thanks for teh feedback everyone!

Ok, I checked now.

Profile head:

Another front head:

It's only the head that I know that you can improve. The heads from the official sprites are slightly wider than longer.

I've been kind of lurking in here, looking at all the fantastic drawings, and yeah they all look awesome to me :) but like others have said, they need some slight improvements, but that doesn't completely matter since it seems that is your drawing style, i especially like the scizor and raikou drawings :D

Awesome artwork. Too bad the poke'mon style isn't the style I am good in, or I would definetely be a PU artist. All my stuff turns out more realistic and evil. I'm probably gonna post some art BTW. I don't have a scanner so I'll have to do it in Inkscape (which I am now starting to learn =P )
