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

[Flaming Quilava]

Thanks guys! *huggles!* ^_^ hehe, I have a new sig up with a Sugimori-style Forest Grovyle! :D Thought it was about time I changed it...might redo my avatar as well ^^

Pok?-Munna, yeah, it doesn't look as photorealistic does it? XD I find the smaller the canvas, the harder it is to make it look less like a painting! I have an idea for another realism which will be using a larger canvas ^^ So hopefully that will!

Dude thats awsome {banner}! I acuualy like how your avatr is tho.

 

[Syousuke]

When I see you in real life I will ask for your autograph. So next time in your life when someone asks you for an autograph that will be me.

You got awesome talent. Best artist in PC. You make other artists look like 3 year olds. Seriously.

 

[Budgie_boy]

I must say, your work is absolutely astounding! I soo have to learn exctly how you manage to do such beautiful works of art.
You could easily become the next marketing designer for the pok?mon company!

Please, you have to teach me how to do such magnifucent peices...

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Dragon Master - Thanks! Glad you like the banner! :D Yeah, I like my avatar too; I might experiment a bit and see if I come up with anything good, but if not, leave it as it is! ^^

Syousuke - oh gosh! *blush!* Hehe, well if I ever come to Sydney I'll be sure to stop on my tour to give autographs XD *huge hugs!* You are so kind to say that! ^_^ I'm so glad you enjoy my work...comments like that make it all worthwhile! :)

Budgie_boy - hey! :D Thanks for stopping by! Oooooh, I'd love to work for The Pok?mon Company *dreams* hehehe...it would be one awesome job! XD I wish I could teach people how I draw...the best I can do is offer my MSPaint tutorial which you can find in PC's Technical Institute! I hope it helps! ^_^

Thanks everyone for all your sweet comments!!

--FG

 

[Smarties-chan]

Hehe, you're welcome, Overlord! :D And I love your entry! I knew you'd get it in on time ^^ Plus, you're in a different timezone from me, so I didn't want to close it in mine when I didn't know what yours was! XD hehe!

Thanks so much for your comments! *hugs!* Oooooh, I might be able to do a Quilava pic! :) Have you see the Typhlosion on the previous page? ^^

Here's some more quick pics I drew of some forgotten Pok?mon!

And a realism of Johnny Depp I did for an oekaki realism tutorial I'm working on...^^

Hope you like!

--FG :)

ZOMG! Octillery! *runs around in circles, doing the happy dance* ^_^ And Yanma! <3 I absolutely love the shading on Octillery. And Yanma is so incredibly cute ^_^ However, I tihink Yanma's tail is a little bit too wide, but still... great work ^_^

The Johny Depp looks really realistic, if it wasn't for that dumb stare he has. He looks like a zombie o.O It looks almost photo realistic anyway. The eyes are just incredible.

[Forest Grovyle]

Hehe, thanks Smarties-kun (do you have a nickname?) ^^
Have you seen "Benny and Joon"? It's hilarious; Johnny Depp looks like that the whole way through XD He's playing a character who's a bit nuts XD It's such a vacant look! hehe! *huggles* ^^

Thank you Dragon Master! ^^ ooooh, I see from your title you're going to change your name? I think "Flaming Quilava" sounds awesome! I always love names to do with Pok?mon themselves. :D

Lol quilavas my favorite pokemon now *hugs it* *gets burned* Anyway Thanks that you like it! *tries to hug agian* *Gets burned agian*

 

[Smarties-chan]

Hehe, thanks Smarties-kun (do you have a nickname?) ^^

I do have a few, like Shorties-kun, Shorty-Arty (thanks to my brother -_-), Smarties, Arty, Smarty, I sometimes call myself Cradily's apprentice too ^_^

I can't say that I have. A movie where one of the main characters looks zombie-fied sounds kinda scary o.O

Anyway... since I don't want to break the rules, I'll also post something related to the topic.

Your shading style is absolutely amazing. I tried to find some tutorials for photoshop shading, but all the links were dead >.> So... what Pok?mon are you going to make next?

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Good question! :D I am going to finish off my 9-starter-Pok?mon picture :) I've done Blaziken now for my wonderful pair Brandon's signature ^^ So I can use him in the final product:

So all I have to do now is Meganium, Charizard and Swampert! :) I'm thinking of drawing Meganium next. ^_^

--FG

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

yay a swampert ;D
anyway nice blaziken the claws look weird
this piccy shows the claws smaller ^^;
oh if you remove the background do the lines become jagged?

That Blaziken is amazing... I'm not a big fan of Blaziken, but if I was, I'd absolutely love this pic ^_^ Now I just think it's amazing. A Meganium? O_O ZOMG! Meganium is soo cute <3 Even though I like Bayleef more. I have said it before and I'll say it again: Great work, Forest Grovyle ^_^ *gives cookie*

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Yeah, the lines would become jagged and haloed if I removed the background :) That's why I spend a lot of time working on transparent GIFs to make sure they have as neat an outline as possible so they'll work on dark backgrounds...but most of the time I just give them a colour background so that I don't have to deal with that problem! ^^

--FG

 

[Budgie_boy]

You should soooo design a whole picture landscape drawing of all the pok?mon you draw. You know like that old advert with all 150 pok?mon and has "Gotta catch'em all!" along the top...

Pure amazing as i say to you! I think you should do swampert or meganuim next..

 

[fallen_natsumixx]

Wow. Just wow. Your artwork is just simply AMAZING. I've only seen the first three pages of this thread so far but I am IMPRESSED. Have you ever drawn anime people?

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Wow, thank you! *blush!* ^^ Hehe, welcome to the thread! I'm glad you enjoyed my art!

As for your question, I don't generally draw anim? people very much :) I don't really enjoy drawing them...I prefer to draw realism and Pok?mon themselves ^^ Though I admire people who can draw anim? characters well!

I have occasionally drawn them though...here's a pic of Ash I did a while ago ^^

I really appreciate your kind comments! :D

[Kurosaki~Dragon]

-gaspz- omg! someone actually DREW a yanma :o

i don't think I've evere seen yanma fanart before, which is sad 'cause its such a cool pokemon and a fun one to draw :3 great job on it, love the pose, the background really brings it out. Its amazing how the wings actually have a transperent feel to them. I just have to love how you color you work, its so Sugimori :3

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Thank you so much! *hugs!* ^^ Yeah, there are some Pok?mon which are so underdrawn, and Yanma is one of them! It's a shame, since he's a cool Pok?mon! They should make an evolution for him :D

Glad you like the transparent look and the Sugimori-shading! :D It tends to work better on some colours than others...

--FG ^^
