Forest Grovyle's Latest Works (NEW: 17/10/07 Oekaki Realism Tutorial!)

[freundmon]

Sugimori style isn't MY style though. I wanted to do another style which isn't just a copy of somebody else's. I personally like the look as I find it clean and simple. :P Sometimes it is nice not to have to stretch yourself and to just draw something fun and relaxing. I don't have to try and outdo myself all the time. ;)

--FG

fhew, I thought I was going to be flammed of the boards for that one. I guess sugimori isn't your style.. heh. But Your SO AMAZING AT IT! I really do miss it, because it's where you shine. And everyone needs a break your right, I just hope you get back to the finger breaking bajillion hour pictures. I love to see artist strive to do their best possible. Maybe you should update your legendary picture? What... I don't know every picture you've posted by memory?!?!? *shifty eyes* No not me... maybe the person who will post below me but.... not me... *dashes away*

Edit- Can you answer a question I've been wondering about? I've seen about 3 really great artists on boards, You Kasedilla and Midna (although there are others) ALL FEMALES! Why do guys suck so much? Is it cus we were born on venus? It seems we seriously lack artistic talent when we are placed next to you girls :( not fair.

freundmon, if you want an update of the legendary picture, have a look here: Legends of Sinnoh! :)

Satoshi, I don't understand what you mean ^^; Could you explain?

Ethan, I'm a girl - but don't worry, lots of people get that wrong :D So glad you enjoy my artwork though! ^^

O.O Those realism pics are great. They look like the real people.
Great work. If I were to rate them, I'd give them 24/10. (^_^)

-Speechless-
FG, you are amazing! I just decided to look in your thread just now, and I was looking at all of your art work and really, I don't even know what to say, its just... awe-inspiring. I really wish I could draw like you.
The only pic I didn't really like was the old Rayquaza picture, something seemed off with the arms. But the rest were just... Well you get my point. xD

But seriously, keep up the good work! ^.^

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Thanks you two *hugs* ^^;;

I agree Killer-Swift, the old pics suck now XD I don't even like to look at them anymore, lol! I'm much more pleased with my recent work. :)

Shoot, was new paged XD Here's the links to my latest stuff so you don't have to go back a page.

FG, with your "oldie" art work, the Rayquaza wasn't that good, but I did like the Deoxys and Huntail+Gorebyss drawings you had. They looked quite nice, actually. ^.^

And now since I've found this place, I'll make sure to check here daily to see if you have any new masterpieces. ;P
And btw, I liked that one Sandslash drawing you had too, its one of my fav pokemon too. :P

 

[freundmon]

POIEHIQUHEHU!!! LOVE YOUR REALISMS! MRARARARARJKJKQWEH *DROOL*. That picture of Rachel would make brad want her back :P. I bet when people stand next to you they catch talent, because you obviously emit it. MEH I love your realismsmsmsmss And the dragon ghost pokemon on your new legendary pic is reeaaallyy good, not quite three dimensional, but it jumps out at you more than the rest so... 2.5 dimensional

 

[Shinjanji]

Wow, you did those in okekai? That's mighty impressive! :D

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Thanks for your comments on the realisms! :D
Oekaki realism is "what I do", hehe - it's my forté! I just love it and would recommend it to anyone!

Both of them look awesome!
although, the right side of rachel's face (our right) seems a bit wierd, and so does her left eye, might just be me.

But still amazing as usual :P

 

[Volta.]

Holy Crap! Those realisms are great!! Did you use any photo references, may I ask? Also, your lighting really shines (pun intended) here ^_^

I liked that show, I didnt know anyone else still remembered it xP

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Of course, it's still pretty popular (it's on TV all the time here!) XD

Yes, I did use references - if I didn't I'd be some sort of deity I think, lol! Glad you enjoyed them. :D

--FG

 

[~JapaneseWolf]

I saw these at SROA and can you say awesome? XD

 

[PoKeSaFaRi]

Awesome realism drawings once again. They do look like them.

And talking about the colours, they blend perfectly! I love the way Rachel's hair looks. It looks like the real thing!

I'll definately fav that drawing once you post it over at DA =P

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

i see you are excited that life on mars is back on telly :P
nice 4th gen pics ... seems like plushie toys rather than 'real' pokemon.. love infernape though :).. maybe they dont look like 'real' pokemon because they arent sigormori(sp) style images
oh chandlers shirt is unfinished .. and rachels eye seems odd
great work :)

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Chandler's shirt isn't unfinished. ;) That side of his shirt in the reference is out of focus and doesn't have any detail on it. I'd rather not have many crits on the realism if people haven't seen the refs. XD Plus, I spend hours and hours on them ;) I think I'll specify that next time - they're the only drawings I'd rather not have critted too heavily XD

Yes, I actually run a LoM website, so I am very excited that it is back on TV - are you a fan?

Glad you like the pics. I'm not going for "official" style so that's probably why you didn't think they looked that way - they're just simple pics, for fun. :D

Thanks all! :D

[Margot]

Wow Forest Grovyle, those Friends pictures are fantastic! I adore the one you did of Chandler, it's really nice and the textures you got in his shirt are awesome. For Rachel, I think you did an excellent job on her hair getting the diffent colors and all. Since I'm a big fan of the show, I thought these were awesome for realism.

Excellent!

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

heh yea i guess i would have to see the original stocks :P
an no im not a fan but my bro is..

 

[Ullion]

Hey FG! I was just wondering, (since I'm too lazu to look xD) have you posted any handdrawn pictures of yours? Im really interested in seeing them. ^.^

 

[Forest Grovyle]

I don't really upload my hand-drawn stuff (I don't have access to a scanner a lot of the time and most of it is just doodles, as I much prefer drawing on the computer nowadays). :)

There was an eagle pic from 2004 but that is the earliest I have uploaded...it's nowhere near my best though and I can do better now...
