I love it man. Very well done :]!

Thank you very much Chimpakt!

Also, while rooting around in some old files, I found a drawing that I thought I had eradicated all traces of long ago. Circa 2009, this is my first drawing of a Pokemon ever.

...

Oh God. The reason I post this of course is for comparison purposes. When I look at this picture, and then at the one above it, I can see all my hard work so far paying off, and while I'm not where I want to be yet, I can at least say I improved!

Haha the Deo-D balloon is so great, I love it's expression and the expression of the happy Genesect, it's really cute :3
Glad to see your improvement over time, keep at it man and you'll just keep getting better

Deo-D Genesect is a pretty nice and clean piece! :) Also that shocked expression on Deo-D haha. But,,, I'd say try to avoid symmetries at all cost unless it's something like logo art or you're trying to make a contrast or something >.> Even if it's not perfect symmetry :O

I thought the exploding Latios/Latias was a nice touch then I finally realized the Genesect was actually bailing out of it o.o It flew on the Lati@s?? lol!! It's cool that you're telling a story with an image though!!! I mean how many of us actually does that??

Great job Hawkstar, like your clean style :)

Don't worry Ritter, I still have yours in the works but I was working on a deadline here sorta! This is my first experience with a background and I must say I like the results. Simple sky, with clouds made from this awesome brush pack I got, and, of course, the giant flaming Latios. Also, this is my first experiment with actual highlights, and it took me a while to get them down. I really like how this turned out, but the amount of time that went into this piece was quite a lot, like, way more than I've done before. Getting faster is the one thing I haven't done since I started drawing, which worries me a little since I see other artists pumping stuff out at this level in hours compared to my days. Even so, I had a blast doing this and the time it took to do this flew by, so I suppose that's not always a negative! __________________ Art thread!

Thoughts and stuff This came up as an experiment with "flowing cloth", such as Mienshao's fur whips, but I ended up not knowing what the hell I was doing. That's to be expected, but even after reading plenty of tutorials and staring at stuff for a while, I was still confused. I am aware that Mienshao's whips aren't even that long, but I much prefer this length. As for the rest of the picture, I'm very satisfied with the rest of the shading, but I feel like the head is a little flat. It gave me a lot of trouble as I was sketching it, so that's something else I need to work on. I have been slacking off recently, mostly out of laziness. My New Year's resolution this year is to remedy this and I really want to focus on getting better. In the past, I have simply never practiced. I was always too lazy to do so, and part of it also stems from fear. I was, and still am, afraid of failure, and even if no one else sees, I will still see my failure. As a stark perfectionist, this really becomes crippling sometimes, as I find it way easier to convince myself to stop and go play a game or some other distraction than to continue on a bleak looking path. As a result, I rarely practiced, and progress was frustratingly slow. I've reached a plateau, and I simply haven't had the will to overcome it. This year, I want that to change. By the time 2014 rolls around, I want to be way closer to that artist that I had envisioned and envied at the beginning of my career than I am now. I've scoured my college library and the internet for good books and tutorials, and I've made a dedication to practicing everyday that I have every intention to keep. I have big plans for the rest of the year, with the eventual goal of starting a Nuzlocke comic, but first I need a lot more practice than I've been doing. While it's a few weeks late, here is the official start of my new year, and I feel like I've got the potential to make myself into something much better. __________________ Art thread!

Hawkstar Are you hanging by a thread or swinging from the rope? Join Date: May 2010 Posts: 631 Western Pennsylvania	I finally finished the LC viability ranking thread picture that I said I'd do months ago! Thoughts I tried a different style of shading and highlights than I usually do, that being "not smudging them into unrecognizable messes." If you can't tell from the picture, Mienfoo is S rank (which it deserves!) while Scraggy is chilling in the A tier, spray painting how good he thinks Mienfoo really is. Aipom, of course, sucks so it got the can. Overall, I like how the shading and stuff turned out, but I really should have made Aipom and it's can slightly bigger. All the cramped lines and colors make it look like, well, garbage! This took quite a long time, but I'm glad that I finally got around to contributing something to the site art-wise, and I hope to draw more for Smogon in the future. __________________ Art thread!
