NintendoQueen's Creations
 
Hello everyone! NintendoQueen here, and I have creations and drawings I'd like to share with you.
I'd like to start with some of my Pokemon drawings that I've drawn over the years:

Let's start with Gary Oak [my favorite Pokemon trainer of all time, yes]:

Remember those "Today I Feel..." Magnets? I created Gary Oak ones [2003]

Enjoy! I know there are a lot of drawings here, and yes there are more... :o

Hmm. Usually you see Victreebel on James' head. That's a unique view.

Why is Brock tipsy?

LOVE the Celebi!

Cyclone

Yeah, I thought it would be humorous to put James inside Victreebel. And Brock is tipsy because he drank a few too many beers earlier I was going to make all the gym leaders sort of tilted, but decided against that. So that is why Brock is tipsy.
And thank you. ^_^ I'm glad you like the Celebi. Mew is my favorite Pokemon, so I had to draw some Mew in there too [and Gary Oak too!] ;p

Nice work! I like it all and it's very colourful too :3

Aw thank you! I like when my drawings are colorful and fun. Makes them look good, in my opinion.

Sheep July 30th, 2012 11:55 AM

More Gary fans! He's an amazing character, you have great taste. :3

Firstly, I loove your emotion magnets, even if they are a bit hard to see because of the image quality. Your expressions really remind me of Charlie Brown in a way, which is nice since they really stuck out to me as being really funny. These type of things are a great way to practice expressions, kudos to you for drawing so many.

Though in general, for your other art, I'd recommend working on proportions and body shapes a bit. Mewtwo's feet look a bit thin and oddly positioned on his lower half while also being bent a bit strangely. Try to make sure everything is "even", too - Dragonair's body is different thicknesses, which looks odd since it should start out thinner around its head area, get a bit thicker in the center, and then thin out more as you get to the tail. Yours seems to fluctuate between different thicknesses more than it should.

And like I told someone else, try to pay attention to whatever it is you're using references to draw So pay attention to where the tail attaches, how big the head is in comparison with the hair, and so on. Otherwise you're just drawing and not really learning anything.

But really, great job and I hope to see more from you soon :D

Yes I am a Gary fan, always was and always will be! ^_^ Great to see another Gary fan! YAY.

Thanks for the feedback, I've been drawing for about 20 years now, and I know my stuff isn't perfect. But I enjoy drawing and do it for fun. A lot of the Pokemon drawings I did there were from 10 years ago. It's fun for me to try out different things to draw and different styles. I've gone from drawing straight from references, to drawing chibis [as you can sort of see in my drawings with the trainers], and I even draw my people as Pokemon trainers in a way because I always found that to be the easiest way for me to draw a person. I know I'm bad at drawing hands and feet, and I do have more to learn as far as proportions go [I never really thought of it as a big deal back then]. But thanks again for the feedback.

NintendoQueen July 31st, 2012 11:56 AM

Alright, here is an update of some other things I have created. This is what I'd like to call my "teacher-y stuff". Because I am going to be a teacher, I have made things for my classes in the past, and here are a few:
A flannel board with the story Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?
http://i.imgur.com/e0Ps5l.jpg
Each character is made of felt. This is used to retell the story, and for children to tell the story and tell their own versions of the story. I'd love to make more such as The 3 Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, etc.

I also hand painted these wooden letters for children to use/play with:
http://i.imgur.com/bxjJHl.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/Uvw19l.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/WHLoXl.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/dRCVal.jpg
I intentionally made each letter something that that letter starts with. For example, A=apple, B=bumblebee, etc.

And one of my favorites: Rainbow Crayons! Now you might think, what are Rainbow Crayons? Well, they are just old crayons melted in an oven! If you are interested in the "recipe" feel free to message me. I made over 60 of these, they are very easy to do [yes we had a lot of old crayons!] :laugh:
But this is only 4 of many:

Oh man, those letters are pretty crafty. Neat!

Aw, why thank you! I spent some time coming up with what to put on each letter. It was a ton of fun to make. I had a professor tell me I should make these and sell them. ^_^

Algo Fonix July 31st, 2012 1:51 PM

The would sell! I remember we had those ones that were like on posterboard style material and were just various colors. Way boring. Those though, they're memorable and fun.

Oh thank you Algo! I'm thinking they would sell too, teachers [and parents] would buy this stuff for their students and children. I just need money for the supplies [luckily it's $1 for 2 letters each, so that would make $26 for 52 letters]. Yes it all adds up in the end, and I would have to sell them for about $10-$15 [for all 26] to make any money.

And who wants to use boring old letters to use/play with? I sure don't! Also, the R has real rocks on it. And E has a real eraser. Yes, textures are fun too!

Algo Fonix August 1st, 2012 7:49 AM

Well, they're made of wood rather than paper. Like you said, they have texture, so that's another plus. For that price that's not a bad value (less than $0.60 per letter), considering something like that could be kept around for years and it's one of a kind. Do it do it.

Yes, the wood is definitely more durable and appealing than paper or foam letters. I would love to sell these, and I just have to find the right crowd of people/place to sell them. I don't know where to start.

blue August 1st, 2012 9:05 AM

Gotta say, them letters look great, very child friendly!

Sydian August 1st, 2012 9:07 AM

I love the letters! If I end up teaching kindergarten, I would totally use letters like that haha. Much more creative than buying them from teacher stores like everyone else. :)

Thank you! I wanted to make sure these letters were appropriate and safe for children. That is something I make sure of, is that they are safe. And I did try these letters out on children, and they thought they were fun. A lot of them were guessing/recognizing what was on each letter [which is something I want children to make a connection Money begins with M and so on].

You're also going to be a teacher? How cool! Yeah teacher stores do not have very creative things, and I like homemade stuff better than factory made things.

Yeah, some stuff from the stores are nice to have, but there are things like letters, numbers, and other visual things that I think teachers should make on their own. Show the kids that they can be creative like that and plus, it's just a nicer visual than the generic things in the stores. I observed a kindergarten class this past spring semester, and there were letters EVERYWHERE, but it was all the generic ones. I mean, they get the point across, but there's just something better about making them for your class. Plus, like Algo Fonix said, those wooden letters will last MUCH longer. Storing might be more difficult than the paper ones, but oh well. They just look better and I'm all about aesthetics. :) Again, great job on those!

Thank you, Sydian!!
I think you and I are going to get along great! :]
I also observed a Kindergarten class too, and I love that age. I'll be student teaching next spring in first grade!
Anyways, I definitely think aesthetics play a big part in a child's learning. Certain materials with different tactile textures and colors are wonderful.
And I made my own box to store the letters in [once again, using something homemade!] I took an old shoe box and decorated it. That is where I store my wooden letters now.

NintendoQueen August 2nd, 2012 1:31 PM

I made a Kirby out of paper mache the other day. His arms are a bit long, yes, but he's still Kirby!
http://i.imgur.com/lIsasl.jpg
He was really easy to make. I just balled up some newspaper to make his body, arms, and legs. And to make the mache, I just used equal parts water and flour. And Voila! There is Kirby.

Algo Fonix August 2nd, 2012 1:43 PM

That's pretty cool all painted and stuff now. :O

Oh goodness, I love that! It reminds me of when we made those paper mache projects way back in Junior High, haha. It's pretty great and you caught Kirby's bubbly personality really well~

Thank you! I haven't done paper mache since I was really little, but at the summer art camp I helped out at, the children made paper mache, so I thought it would be fun to revisit that myself. So I did! And Kirby was easy enough to make! ^_^

But of all the amazing pictures you've drawn, not one are Latias or Cress :'(

Amazing job though Arielle, I can't even do 100% of what you've done here!

NintendoQueen August 4th, 2012 9:49 PM

@Sector--Jigglypuff is a great idea, omg! Or Voltorb/Electrode. ;p

I am somewhat familiar with Latios/Latias, but I have no idea who Cress is. Oh wait, that's a gym leader, right? I haven't drawn the newer generations yet, so sorry!


And thank you! I've been doing art for a long time now!

Oh no LOL Not the gym Leader. Cresselia, the Pokemon :P My bad. I call her Cress because it's a beautiful nickname <3

Voltorb or Electrode would be great!

Oh, see, I still have no idea who that is! X_x I am so lame.

Maybe soon I will do Jigglypuff, Voltorb, and Electrode out of paper mache! Should be fun. :]

Gary is indeed an awesome character!

Needs more Bulbasaur...

I apologize about the shoddy quality, but my scanner is being a bit of a butt lately.

And thank you! :]
Gary is awesome, mm hmm! ^_^ And thank you, I love James too, and I thought it'd be fun to have him riding inside of Victreebel for a change!

Baker's Bulbasaur August 5th, 2012 10:17 AM

For little old meeee??

You shouldn't have ^_^

Next time you do big ones with colouring, perhaps a Bulbasaur wearing a Bakers hat?? =P

And you got it dude! Next time there will be a bigger Bulbasaur wearing a baker's hat! ;]

Alright, I have something else to show you guys. Still life drawings!

http://i.imgur.com/s92Gtl.jpg]
This first one is of a Ball Jar I drew, and there are paintbrushes inside with water, so that is why the paintbrushes look crooked. When something is in water, it refracts, causing it to look bent.

http://i.imgur.com/1swMvl.jpg
This is just a still life of a glass bottle, a satin cloth, and a metal bowl.

http://i.imgur.com/b78lj.jpg
This one is my favorite. I had to draw my hands holding something, so I chose an SNES controller of course! I also added in the Koopalings, Bowser, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi from Super Mario World [my all time favorite video game]!

http://i.imgur.com/0szuyl.jpg
Just a rat I drew using a pen and the grid drawing method.

http://i.imgur.com/8GBawl.jpg
Splash is "splashing". Hehe.

I have another still life but it is too big to fit in my scanner. ;~; I hope to show it one day!

Tetrakeet August 8th, 2012 10:32 AM

Nice shading on the bottles! They actually look like glass, that's neat. Must of been a challenge to get that effect with the shading. O_O

Thank you!

From what I can remember [this was in high school when I drew these still life drawings], the shading and drawing did take awhile, but it was fun. I enjoyed it. I always thought I would be horrible at still life drawings, but I see that I am capable of that sort of thing.

I LOVE THIS ARTWORK. The classic designs and simply beautiful techniques really show through here. The perfect amount of darkness in almost every work of art I really appreciate that you took your time to post it here as it is some of the best pokemon themed artwork that I have every seen in my life. Nice job 10/10, keep up the good work.

Anastasia.R August 30th, 2012 9:58 PM

Hi there! Oh, nice to see some traditional work! =] I'll comment on two drawings you made.


Oh, still life! That's interesting. ^..^
However, I think the drawing is in a weird angle. The paintbrushes (somewhat) and the neck of the jar are in a correct angle, but I think the jar itself with everything else doesn't look right. If I see the inside of the rims of the neck of the jar, I would see more of the inside of the jar. Or, if I saw the jar in more of a front view, I'd see less of the inside of the neck.

I think the shading was done well. The shading on the paintbrushes are a little hard to tell where a light source is, but I can somewhat see it.


I think this was much better!
I think it looks a lot more transparent, and more like glass. The angle and shading for the bottle gives it a defined shape and I think it was done well! I think the overall picture is a little tilted though, but maybe that's how the bottle ways. ^..^;

Thank you for the critiques. They are always welcome! I know the jar is a bit awkward and the paintbrushes are supposed to be tilted a bit because of the refraction in the water inside the jar. I enjoyed drawing the Ball jar a lot. :] Thank you!
