scolipede done
(aah, i found a "vein" texture so i tried to implement it into this piece!)
the limbs are a bit long, but i think it works better with the pose

 

[Vederation]

The below all need art! I probably won't be able to fit them all into the next couple of months before Sun & Moon release, but I'd like to get one posted every Saturday until then (except a couple of weeks prior so we can cool down between this gen and the next) so all the help possible would be appreciated! :D

Xatu - f(x)
Scolipede - Jackii
Weavile - Litra
Crawdaunt - D_what
Togekiss
Volcanion
Manaphy
Mega Slowbro
Tornadus
Zapdos
Registeel
Mega Manectric
Tyranitar
Mega Sableye

I know how relatively inactive I've been, but this is too tempting *-*
Stealing Mega Sableye.

Bummer mentioned I could post here a while back, so... I'd love to take Togekiss, if that's all right. May I ask what it's for, though? I'd like to know if I need to use the giveaway frame.

you do not have to use the Giveaway template, it is for a Pokemon of the Week post on Facebook (see here for an example)

I'm bumpng this since the page changed and Absol is due for Friday.

Hello! Here's the list of the Pokemon we need art for the September Giveaways.

Absol, Manectric and Lucario can be in their Mega forms if you want. We are still looking for a Raikou so if you decide to take it please be aware that it might change as we are looking for regular or shiny one.

these need art; art is due on the date listed

• September 2 - Absol [ FellFromtheSky ]

Thank you! I have it:

I meant for it to be in greyscale, but I also have a coloured one:

As well as a trimmed one:

I, of course, can make any changes that ought to be made.

 

[Litra]

Here's Weavile. BG took me awhile cause I couldn't settle on anything until I went with a windy snowstorm feel.

 

[vzxt]

Is there someone available to help us with the absol art due for tomorrow?

 

[FellFromtheSky]

Is there someone available to help us with the absol art due for tomorrow?

I can do it.

EDIT:
Here it is.

Without Frame

I'm not sure if it's acceptable or if I was even given the approval to do it, but I thought that since the deadline is tomorrow it might be helpful to have something.

 

[Lego]

I can do it.

Art looks great! Just a couple of small things though, if you wouldn't mind changing them...
1) vzxt messed up, and the Absol is actually holding a Life Orb, not an Absolite
2) there's something about the font that looks just a little off, when compared to all the other giveaway art, such as this one

Hide

But other than those two things, it looks great!

I fixed the life orb thing, though I'm not sure the image is appropriate now considering I drew Absol-M...
I know what you mean about the font, but I followed these directions in both Corel and GIMP and it always came out that way. I have no idea how to fix it.

EDIT:
Thanks so much to Legofigure11 for fixing the text. I had no idea what was going on with it.

Oh nice save Legofigure11! Yes I messed up the items I'll fix them for Manectric as well.

Thanks for the art FellFromtheSky

It doesn't matter that the art is of a mega and the pokemon we giveaway is in it's basic form. The intention is for them to use their own mega stones since we can't trade those through the GTS. About the text... have you tried bolding the text or increasing the font size by 1 or 2 units? it might also be a resolution problem... Honestly it doesn't look that bad so it's fine if you don't get it like the example legofig presented.

 

[Nerina]

anyone?

Edit: Version 2, thanks brightobject

Heracross (UU)

Sorry I was planning to get this done earlier but jet lag got into the way.
Currently working on Zapdos (OU).

 

[D_what]

I'm still on Crawdaunt, nearly finished but real life keeps getting in the way.

 

[Nerina]

No worries Nerina, I can post Dugtrio this week thanks to Jackii (it looks great btw!)

also some new art assignments that need grabbing:

• OU Zapdos
• OU Bisharp
• OU Weavile
• OU Scolipede

antemortem is there a deadline for OU Zapdos? Since school started I'm trying to plan out my schedule. Thanks!

no, just "as soon as possible"

 

[Falgaia]

On a related note, its been awhile since I worked on the Mega Hera piece I reserved earlier, but I might have some time to pursue it this weekend so I figured I'd see if it was still needed before diving in, esp since we had a pretty sweet piece just made for norm. hera.

still very much needed :(

We still need a shiny Manectric for this week's giveaway x_x

Got it, just checking in first. With any luck I'll have something done by this weekend, assuming coursework doesn't pile up.

This is for today right? Is this still needed? What time is the deadline?

Hi! Yup, we still need the art. The post goes out a 10 am EDT (GMT-4) on Saturday (Sept. 10). So if we could get the art sometime in the next 12 hours, that would be perfect. Otherwise, an hour before the giveaway starts would be the final deadline...though that's cutting it really close.

Thanks for all your hard work everyone ^_^

Alright I'm on it, will have it done in the next 12 hours :)

At worst, there's always the mega manectric piece I had made awhile back that never got used.

antemortem also needs (Mega) Manectric art. Well at least that's what it says in the first post of this page.
