Retro's Art!

Hey there, I just thought I'd share some of my art with you guys here at Smogon. I've been really into drawing again since I discovered the Create-A-Pokémon Project here, so I thought I'd post all my designs and other artwork I come up with. I'll probably keep the majority of this Pokémon related, but I may end up posting other artwork for you to look at here eventually. Just a few things. I probably won't take requests for artwork as I live a busy life, but feel free to post ideas and if I really like it and/or am up to the challenge, I may take a shot at it.

Line Art
Pencil Art

First up is an idea I got from a friend, obviously the first piece of art has to be Koffing related, so I thought I'd draw this.

My first design for the Smogon Create-A-Pokémon Project, I decided to pick some kind of weird rhino monster, and tried to incorporate Poison characteristics, as the typing was Poison/Ground.

Scorpian 1 - Pencil Art
Scorpian 2 - Pencil Art

These were another design for CAP, I wanted to create some kind of Scorpian that collected bricks and rubble to form parts of its body, I think it turned out quite well.

Lizard - Pencil Art

My third design was some kind of lizard, this one wasn't so serious in the end and is IMO the worst of my designs, but the dead Pikachu makes it cool.

My fourth design for CAP #4 was a Mole type create with poison flowers growing on it, again to keep with the Poison/Ground-type theme. People were saying that a utility Pokémon shouldn't look so scary and offensive, so I tried to tone it down a bit and make it more like the regular "cute" utility Pokémon we usually see.

Shedinja - Pencil Art - A quick sketch of Shedinja for $uper$imon, will colour at a later date.
Kecleon Evo - Pencil Art - A quick sketch of a Kecleon Evolution called "Invisilizard" for Winter.Mute, will colour at a later date.
 
Holy crap these are all amazing. Bravo. I love the Weezing and Koffing, and your other pokemon designs are very original.
 
Wow nice! What program do you use to line/color?

Hey Thanks :D, um i use photoshop for the whole thing its about the only program i know how to use ha ha. I use a graphics tablet though for the line art there really nice to use providing you fork out enough money for a decent one, but yeah thanks again :)
 
I really love your work, your CAP designs are on my list of voting too :D I adore that mole :P

If you have any time id love to see what you can come up with for a Kecleon evolution concept O.o

Thanks alot! :D Of course I'll give it a go, I'll have a sketch up pretty quickly but the colored version may take a little longer due to my recent addiction to SSBB :P

I really like your style. Do you think you could try a Shedinja?

Thanks man XD Shedinja's Awesome! i'll whip one up soon :D
 
I finished both sketches early this morning but my scanner was having problems so i was only able to get them up just now, I'll probably color them at a later date lol :D

...And theres the Shedinja sketch its a bit bland though, I'll probably redraw another tonight in an action pose...somehow lol
 
Haha awesome lizard. Shedinja is cool, but yeh it's a bit difficult to make it look like it's doing anything lol.

Isnt that always the case with Shedinja, it being a shell and all :S You can always do like in the show and make him shoot stuff from his halo, that seemed to be its main attack pose.

And that is a great concept sketch for my request love the designs you added on the arms and belly ^_^ thanks a bunch for your time.
