Yeah, I drew it before we even knew Darkrai was gonna be in the film XD

Not sure how much his neck can bend, but it looked pretty bendy in Battle Revolution! I'm glad you like the theme! *hugs* ^^

Just drew this for my dA journal header :) Something nice and simple. It's Scoot, who I use to represent myself over there:

Ooh! This one's nice! Id always wondered who that little, blinking duck in your avatar was! x3 He (is it a he?) He/she/it looks very cute! I cant help shaking the feeling that it looks familiar from somewhere. Besides your dA Avy I mean =P

I must say, the anatomy on this one is spot on, I mean however spot on you can be with a cartoon duck. ^_^

Forest Grovyle July 20th, 2007 10:05 AM

You're right, Ratiasu-kun: he's a very stylised version of this lil' guy ^^ http://www.animalcrossingcommunity.com/images/characters/Scoot.gif

I loved him so much in my game that I wanted to draw him in my own style :D

--FG

Volta. July 20th, 2007 11:05 AM

lol I knew it! and imho, I think he looks better the way you draw him ;)

PokemonRox July 20th, 2007 11:11 AM

Forest Grovyle, your art is awesome!!! I have seen quite a few in this thread, haven't seen em all due to lack of time, but the ones I've seen, the realism art, the Pokemon art, the non-Pokemon art, their all great!!! Keep em up!!!

Forest Grovyle August 18th, 2007 12:10 PM

Awww thank you so much guys! ^_^ It means a lot to me to have new people looking through my gallery *glomps*

Eternal Nightmare August 19th, 2007 12:21 PM

Your pics are awesome. Very detailed and
colorful. I not to big on realism due to being
an anime artist, but still good nonetheless.

Forest Grovyle September 10th, 2007 3:05 PM

Awww you guys are so lovely *hugs you all* Thank you so much for your comments!

I was bored this evening so I thought I'd try my hand at "Subeta style". XD I don't know if anyone plays Subeta (I personally don't but I love to oogle at the artwork!) So here's a "Glacier Charlie":

Aruseus Rider September 10th, 2007 3:47 PM

OMG!That's pwnsome!How do you do that art!?How do you make the
fur effects?(Sorry if you're pestered by all the questions!)

Grovyle42(Griff8416) September 10th, 2007 7:01 PM

These are quite good, I'll have to check out your "Friends" art sometime, too. :P

Volta. September 10th, 2007 7:06 PM

ooooooh! I like his expression! Very ... loathsome xD ...and cold! But we already knew that!

Ill admit, the fur effects are very nice~desu! Especially how the light falls across them! Thats one technique I cant seem to master x_x

Then again, I should also try fiddling with multilayered shadows 0_0

Great work as usual, FG! ~_^

Cookie luvs Green September 12th, 2007 12:29 PM

Hah! Subeta! I see wut u did thar.

I tried out Subeta some years ago, but it kept crashing down and being completely slow. I haven't visited that place for quite some time...
I agree with you on the artwork. That's what made me join on the first place. \D;

Anyway, I really like the expression you gave him! Very cute with simple colouring~ :>

Forest Grovyle September 12th, 2007 12:40 PM

Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked it! If they have an artist opening I'll try out XD

Some others:

Volta. September 12th, 2007 5:35 PM

lol more pretties! I assume by "pets" you mean neopets? (sorry I dont pay much attentions to things that .... I, dont pay attention to T_T)

In short, excellent work, and the art style is spot on! I think the dark blue/gold combination works well for the turtle .. You'd be suprised how many things look awesome in dark blue and gold desu~! ^_^

.Brendan September 14th, 2007 11:32 AM

Great art Foreat Grovyle :P

I really like it, the way your detail is great and the amount of colour shadding is muah

Antipathy00 September 15th, 2007 3:20 PM

Oh well, you sure are talented!
Ive got some catching up to do.. gotta go throu the 62 previous pages haha
It seems to be worth it:).

Also i love your realistic drawings they look like you put alot of effort towards these works of art.

txteclipse October 31st, 2007 11:11 PM

;)

These are really good. How exactly do you critique people that are better than you?

EDIT: Just found out that you use a mouse. Is that even possible? If I use a mouse, I come out with squiggles. Really nasty, blocky squiggles. Do you hold it with your fingertips so that the rest of your hand isn't touching the mousepad and treat it like a pen? Or do you simply zoom in to about 800% and lay down one pixel at a time?

Forest Grovyle November 3rd, 2007 4:27 AM

The mouse I use is a Labtec Optical mouse, it's rubbish and you can probably buy it anywhere XDD

As for how I do it, yes, I work at very zoomed percentages! :) It's very hard to do freehand mouse-art at full-scale.

--FG

Articuno Power November 3rd, 2007 9:25 AM

*o* Oooooh soooo cute !!! Cute pictures **
You draw very nice ! =D

txteclipse November 3rd, 2007 7:52 PM

Geeze, it takes me days to edit my already fully-drawn images with zoom. How long does it take to draw the whole thing like that?

Forest Grovyle November 4th, 2007 1:51 AM

Depends which one you're talking about :) For example, this one, which I finished not long ago:
http://yayster.deviantart.com/art/Realism-Poker-Night-68388394

Took two whole weeks XD

--FG

Forest Grovyle November 4th, 2007 2:33 AM

Thanks Jake! Yeah, it's impossible to get rid of all "oekakiness". XD Best thing to do is to look at a distance. :D

The Wave November 4th, 2007 7:06 AM

wow good job Forest Grovyle! I've seen very much drawn pictures in my live, but this is the best I've ever seen! they look so real, first I though you just copy&pasted them, but when I readed the whole post and looked closely, I saw that you drawed them. I never excepted someone with this talent!

Shadowz November 5th, 2007 12:38 PM

Wow im an avid Friends fan and i have to say that is great, eve though Chandler's nose is massive XD

-Amso-

Forest Grovyle November 5th, 2007 12:48 PM

Amso, he looks off in the reference XD So if it does it's cos the photo looks like that too. I always felt he looked iffy in the photo - I wish he weren't squinting so much!

Thank you guys! *hugs to all!*

Anyway, as I was rudely interupted by your mouse Forest Grovyle, you might want to teach it some manners (Just kidding). My favorite of the pics is Rayquaza. By the way, what kind of mouse do you use? I use a white mouse made by microsoft. It squeaks every now and then but doesn't have too bad manners. But it is very lazy (HAH HA!)

that tickled my funny bone


On topic

These are superb drawings

I wish i could even draw a simple picture lol.

cant draw to save my life.
how do you do it??

Rayqauza is the best one

muh316 November 13th, 2007 9:18 AM

i suck at drawing especially on my computer but i found some of the pics u draw on google images and they are on alot of forums ive seen even on youtube they have a vid that has the deoxys and rayquaza u drew t

Forest Grovyle November 13th, 2007 3:37 PM

Can you give me the link to where they're being used, muh316? I'll get in contact with them.

--FG

muh316 November 13th, 2007 7:19 PM

i dont got the links but these are in many places theyr in sum peples sig

Forest Grovyle November 14th, 2007 2:05 PM

I see - well, if you ever come across any, please PM me the links so I can check it out. Art thieves suck! :)

--FG

The Wave November 15th, 2007 8:23 AM

say forest grovyle, I was thinking of giving you a small challenge: draw a picture where a few pokemons are in the middle of a very hot battle. since your drawnigs are the best, I think it won't be a problem, only with the idea.

Todorlich November 22nd, 2007 1:28 AM

Your pictures are really awsome! =) I like you try different styles, it's very interesting )))
Your realistic art is wonderful *_*
I'm you fan >_<

I must say WOW! You're really good. I could've sworn this was a Norman Rockwell Classic. If I had a third Hand I'd Give you three thumbs up!

.Flygon November 27th, 2007 3:48 PM

Wow, you're Yayster on deviantART? Haha, I've seen you before of dA, and learned the Sugimori style from your tutorial. ;D

Keep up at it, I love your art. :)

Forest Grovyle November 27th, 2007 4:31 PM

Thank you so much you three! ^^; Yeah, I am Yayster on deviantART :) I'm glad that my Sugimori tutorial helped you! :D

Oh, I'd also like to draw attention to a contest I am running on dA in aid of Cancer Research :) It's an oekaki competition and anybody on dA can enter! If you want to read more, check out this news story:

wow the poker pic look soooooooooooooo real. and your soooooo nice to be helping the aid of Cancer Research.

Thomas December 12th, 2007 2:26 PM

Hey FG! You think you could link me to my Ampharos banner you made me like two or three years ago. I think it is still in your request folder on the domeofstars website. I wanted to used it again and change the name on it to Thomas-san. If you can't find it, I totally understand if it was deleted. lol

PS...you know I already love the Realism Poker Night...anything that has to do with Friends and You making has to be good. lol

Forest Grovyle December 13th, 2007 4:26 PM

Hmmm, do you remember the filename? As in the name I gave the picture? That'd make it easier for me to find :)

Glad you liked the realism pic! :D

--FG

Thomas December 14th, 2007 11:55 AM

Well no, I didn't want to bother you so I tried to guess the filename myself, but I couldn't find it. But I'm guessing it might have either ampharos, ampharos23, amphros, or amphros23 in the name...but that is only a guess.

Forest Grovyle December 15th, 2007 6:17 AM

Here ya go ^^

bna_li December 19th, 2007 8:41 PM

Wow. You're still here after forever. Still working with these siggy thingies I see. If I'm not mistaken you did a theme for PC right?

Forest Grovyle December 20th, 2007 4:33 PM

bna_li! Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while XD Nah, the Amphros23 banner is ages old, he just requested I find it again for him :) I don't do sigs anymore.

I've done a few images for themes for PC ^^

--FG

Volta. December 20th, 2007 4:57 PM

Indeed you have (You made quite a few, if I recall correctly)! Im still using your old Latias/Latios one! xD 'Tis a good, solid theme with mild colors!

...Now if only there was a Multiquote button for that theme! ^_^ Thats the only thing bugging me ATM, but it doesnt stop me from using it!

bna_li December 21st, 2007 7:33 AM

You were the coolest. So talented.

I'm actually still using that Latios/Latias one too. Lots of things haven't changed. I was looking at my old post and I used to talk like some idiot kid back then. And they're STILL working on a better slogan.

wakachamo December 21st, 2007 3:29 PM

Here's wukku paying a visit on FG-sha's awesome thread! <3

Your work never ceases to amaze me, seriously. XD I showed the pic to a friend of mine and he's like "dude that's a sweet photo!" When I told him it was a drawing I swear he just stared at the pic for like 10 minutes non-stop. XDD

Awesome work as always, dear FG-sha. :3

Forest Grovyle January 5th, 2008 3:51 PM

Awww thank you waka! ^^ Your comment about your friend made me giggle :D

And thanks bna_li and Ratiasu-kun! You're so sweet!

I'm working on a kiriban at the moment featuring Nidorina and Pidgeotto. I'll post it up here when I'm done. :)

Thank you so much! :D

I can't believe it but I got my second Daily Deviation on deviantART today - for "Realism: Poker Night"! What a surprise! I'd like to thank everybody who supports my artwork as I couldn't do it without you guys ^_^

Embrace January 12th, 2008 10:54 AM

Do you do requests? I wouldn't normally ask. @<@

Sorry, nope. I just don't have enough time for requests anymore. ;)

--FG

Embrace January 12th, 2008 11:04 AM

Ok well thanks anyway. I guess I wont get a gorgeous siggy :( It's ok though
