Hello and welcome to my second art thread! My first had, basically, zero comments so I decided to start a new one with a different focus and a different tone!
After viewing some of the drawings created by one of my good friends and mentors (who unfortunately does not frequent the Smogon Forums, even less this sub forum) I began to become interested in drawing onto real photos - and so with permission from Doomsday I have created a new thread to catalogue my (hopeful) development in this field :D
I also felt that my older drawings were somewhat plain, but I couldn't exactly place why. I then looked to who I deemed the 'masters' of art at Smogon - Cartoons, Lorak, BugManiacBob, Rocket Grunt, Fossil Hunter and Cyzirvisheen (\o/) AND KOA WHO IS PROBABLY THE BEST ARTIST ON SMOGON! among many others. After perusing their threads and examining each piece of art that they submitted I came to a conclusion as to what my drawings lacked - a good use of line. This led me to explore a new style of drawing and rendering, the results of which can be seen here.
This is the first (and sadly the only as of yet) of my drawings onto real photos. When visualising drawing onto photos I was originally going to go for a more comedic approach, making fun of the current headlines by mixing the realism of photography with the comedy of cartoon images. However, being a teenager and very depressed, I decided I wanted to try my hand at creating a spooky and somewhat scary scene from a real image. Absol, being the disaster pokemon, was my choice for the focus of this particular drawing - sitting quite calmly in the middle of disaster, horror and unhappiness. Staring...
My Second drawing! Requested by Fuzzberry:
Damn thing won't size down!
Another requested by myself:
P.S. I did mence pretty badly on purpose
My old nemesis has come back and called out to me to draw it (him?) again! Some of you might know what I'm talking about. Personally I don't really like this but hey, I'm here for a second opinion. I'm making this into an avatar for Joel 22 if Iaza decides to work.
Aggron is great in competitive battling and STILL manages to look amazing (even with my less-than-perfect drawing skills).
What? I can't see? Voltorb USE FLASH
SSSSSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.... I should have come to victory road.
(P.S. Yeah I can't resist dark scenes with red eyes xD)
Avatars
Some avatars I've drawn, but not for specific people. If you use one please put "Avatar made by Alchemator" in your sig :)
