Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted any of my art here in Smeargle's Studio. After an university forced hiatus, I am indeed back! Most of you probably don't know me, it has been a while after all, so hopefully you guys like all my pieces. For those of you that do remember, I am going to repost the best pieces from my ancient thread (you guys will hopefully be able to see my improvement over the years), add some new ones that I've been working on, and, of course, be taking requests! I'll do most things, though some things inspire me more than others. I am going to try to keep up with the requests until the 17th of January, afterwards though, there are no guarantees that school won't interfere. The newest stuff is at the bottom of the post!

2008-2009
I think I had pretty humble roots when it comes to art. I was first attracted to Smogon's art forum through the CAP project. Watching all those amazing artists create incredible Pokemon totally blew me away, especially considering the quality of work I was creating at the time.
2009
I followed artists such as cartoons! and DougJustDoug (not sure if his name has changed) pretty frequently here in Smeargle's Studio, and eventually worked up the courage to post my own art, crummy as it was at the time.
Eventually I began to gain interest in the world of digital art and began experimenting with digital art programs, in particular GIMP though. Keep in mind though that this was before I owned a tablet so excuse the mess...
Summer 2010
Digital art was so exciting for me, the possibilities were endless. I continued to experiment until, finally, I decided to save up some money and buy myself a humble little Wacom Bamboo. It was indeed small, but it was just the tool I needed to continue on my artistic journey. My art, I feel at least, continued to improve...slowly....Finally, during CAP 11, my art began to gain a little popularity in the polls, something which had never happened before! Although I lost, I learned so much from designing my pokemon for CAP 11. I look back at that summer, and geeze, I drew that pokemon so many times, it's not even funny.
Fall 2010
It was about this time, right after summer when school started up again, that I hit my art drought. I was so bogged down with school work that I barely had enough time to even have a social life, let alone sit down for a few hours and draw something up. I would have loved to have had more time for art, but sadly I didn't. Even things that I would have loved to have taken part of, like the MACs, were impossible to be part of. I resolved to jump back into art as soon as the semester finished. Besides a few pictures here and there, the rest of the semester went completely devoid of art.
Winter 2010
Now though, I am back! I've started working on some stuff and I look forward to continuing to throughout the winter holidays. Like I said before, please feel free to look around, leave comments, suggestions, hate mail, whatever, and request stuff! I'll try my best to make stuff you guys will hopefully like. So finally, here is the newest things I've made. I hope you guys have liked everything!
It feels good to be back.
