This is really awesome. I don't even know what else to say about it other than it's amazing <3

I've been paging through this thread and I really like your art, especially the poses and the designs. Keep up the great work! =)

Out of curiousity, what is the fifth Pokémon to the left in your team sketch? That one I can't name.
 
Okay, well I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much hassle... Could you draw a bi-plane with a banner attached to the back? Similar to this one, but a bit bigger. About 100px by 600px?
 
Thankies. ;W,

(PS don't make any of your projects hang on my participations... As I still haven't even started on the plane or anything. <_<''
Instead, have lugia and ho-oh.)

I always saw Lugia as a swan. Both like water, graceful neck, white, handwings...
 
Your Ho-Oh and Lugia picture is quite interesting. Lugia looks absolutely beautiful, although it looks a bit too swannish to be able to tell that it's Lugia. If I didn't see the caption, I wouldn't think it was Lugia. I don't know if that was your intent, but yes. It's still very well-draw. Your line curves are graceful and befitting of a swan.

Ho-Oh is my favourite of the two. The tails are just excellent. It looks like a swan, but at the same time, you can see Ho-Oh's characteristics through it. A perfect integration. Those wings too are brilliant! There's only one flaw I see in it. The eye needs to be moved a bit more... to the left. To make it look more like a side-view. Perspective-wise, it's a bit off. But seriously, excellently done.
 
Thank you, Arylett. :D
My greatest problem with adaptations of pokemon is that you can't really see the pokemon in it unless you know which one it is.
(Also, now that I look at it, ho-oh does look a bit swannish. That's what you get for not looking at references. (as it was supposed to be more peacock-type bird)

I adjusted the eye, and made it more animalistic. Is it better now? (the paper can't unfortunately take much erasing and drawing, since the linework is somewhat heavy. D:)

Updatebump because. D:!

I made some shiver-tests, since I wanted to make one of those sketchy-shaky animations I've seen bouncing around the nets.

First test; Rat, or raticate. Raticate has so few unique features that it could just be a regular rat.

Second test; Charmander. Shivering works well with fire.

And again some spammy bumpery goodness. <_<

My painting skills were in need of some practice, so I just did a simple 'sitting by the fire' scene with another random trainer and his charizard. The sculpting of lights instead of darks was pretty nice, especially since I couldn't go any darker, at least not without the help of darkening layers. (This was done in Open canvas, so there are some patches of colors which refused to change it's colors. D:!)


Edit: Completetly unrelated notes:
Am I alone, or does the cubone sort of look like a charmander with a charizard's skull on it's head? I mean, charmander even had a small spike on it's back in the original design.
The skull has charizard's two horns, and large nostrils, which would be fitting for a fire-breathing pokemon.

(Also, a more scientific explanation could be that charmander and cubone had the same ancestor, and both evolved into separate species. While charmander moved up the mountain, cubone adapted to the caves and evolved a hard skull-like head to protect against the potentially dangerous falling rocks that it might encounter. For example.)
