Hellop
After thinking about it for a while, I have decided to publish my art that I have been uploading to TAG (The Art Gallery) over the last few months.
I do this for 2 reasons:
1°: Have a clear history of uploads, where my "evolution" over time can be shown
2°: Show my art to more people outside of Showdown
With all that said, I hope you can appreciate my artistic side, I will be updating this thread with new additions from time to time :3
see ya

Yin & Yang

July-August 2024 approx.
The Tao "Duo", definitely one of my favorite legendary sets due to its symbolism of opposing designs, bringing the Yin-Yang into the conceptual style that Pokémon usually uses in a (Good) big way.
Speaking about the drawings themselves, I originally took inspiration from the Pokémon Prime from the HGSS era of the TCG, for some reason i always find funny their attempt to show more """serious""" faces with Pokémon with cute faces like Meganium or Ampharos.
As time goes by, I feel that my attempt to imitate this style of cards did not turn out as well as I thought, this is most noticeable with Reshiram (my fav pkmn 4ever) where rather than giving a general expression of seriousness and/or superiority towards the rival, he ends up giving a look of pure indifference (not to mention his non-existent mouth that makes him look like Kirby's Waddle Dee)
In Zekrom's case, I tried to take advantage of his most frightening aura to give a piercing and frightening look, perhaps the red-hot eyes helped improve Reshiram's failure, i've always considered remaking this pair of works, Reshiram definitely needs her nose job as soon as possible lol.

Sketch test

March 2025
A random sketch about Salazzle, honestly I didn't like how the general anatomy (especially the legs) and the tail turned out, they feel out of place. Okay, maybe I'm taking a hastily executed sketch too seriously; even so, my portrayal of the poison queen isn't the best of the bunch.

Going Underground

March - April 2025
Not a big fan of Need for Speed buuuuut i have to admit that I always liked Underground 1/2 & Rivals quite a bit.
I like the final result, I just wish I could redo the proportions (especially the Skyline's hood) along with the overall coloring.

Persian

June 2025
First attempt at creating an Original character do not steal, I didn't give much thought to the overall design, it started with a simple sketch and ended with an even simpler design.
Although well, after this design I started practicing the proportions of the body so as not to end up with heads from a Funko Pop lol.
