GhostlyPhoenix's Fakemon/General Pokemon Fan Art

Hey there. I felt like making a thread to show off my digital Pokemon-themed art (since I FINALLY got able to post addresses of other sites! :P), and I should be updating this time by time as I get something new to showcase. In the meantime, enjoy what I have to show off... I don't think my stuff is as good as most of you guys', but whatever:

Spoiler:

This is basically a Pokemon splice between two of my favorite Pokemon: Gardevoir and Garchomp. I must say that I actually like how it turned out, with a cartoonish feel to it and such.

Spoiler:

This one is a drawing showing off a Gardevoir once again. Although the program I used to make it isn't as eficient as Photoshop/GIMP, it didn't come out that bad.

Spoiler:

Attempt at making a wombat Fakemon. I decided to call it "Chubat", as I came up with this name upon mixing up the words "chubby" and, obviously, "wombat".

Spoiler:

This one was supposed to be another Fakemon... a grasshopper one, by the name of "Agipest" (pretty much a mixture of the words "agility" and "pest"). It turned out pretty meh, so eh. :(

Spoiler:

Sabrina, pretty much as seen in HG/SS. At first, I thought her new design was pretty lame, as it doesn't really go well in a PSYCHIC gym leader... but I suddenly started to like it for whatever reason. I'm not really happy with the shading and the outlines of this one, though.

Spoiler:

This was going to be my avatar here at PC, but I shortly got fed up with it for whatever reason (perhaps because I didn't waste much time making it or whatever). I feel like showing it off here in this thread, though, just so that you have something to laught at upon seeing my stuff. :P Kiddin'.

So, that's pretty much it. Please let me know what you think of my art. Suggestions/criticism are also greatly appreciated.

hi!
your drawings are great!
i think that you should make outlines small!

 

[GhostlyPhoenix]

Smaller outlines... okay. I'll take that into consideration.

Thanks for the advice. :)

 

[Kotone]

those are very different looking, in a good way.
i could never do that!

 

[mervyn797]

good work.
yeah as the otheres say, outline should be a bit small.
hmm.. give a background to the first img.

 

[♥RanaRocket!☆]

nice stuff, you've got good eyes for colour by the looks of it.
I'll avoid repeating stuff thats been said before but i ill say this:
To get better, think about having a consistant light source, your shading seems to be all over the place, althoguth none of it is particularly wrogn as sucyh, just it all appears from different directions.
:3 keep it up~

 

[LEXAcide]

Great Pieces!

I would recommend practicing on the limbs though. The legs look a little too muscular. That might work a little bit better on a male character. Practice makes perfect ;)

 

[ProClifo]

these are great drawings with unfitting title (GhostlyPhoenix's Dump)

 

[GhostlyPhoenix]

Whoa, I really wasn't excepting to get so many comments. ^_^ Thanks for the compliments, y'all.

The reason why I shade whatever I create that much is to give more volume to my drawings. I guess I shall actually follow your advice, though, as I have been getting tons of critiques in regards to my own shading style.

Yeah, people have always seemed to dislike these on my female characters... I pretty much try to make their limbs look realistic, but they actually end up too muscular. :S I'll do my best to avoid them to look that bad on my next drawings, though.

I couldn't come up with anything more creative. :< Uh, well, I guess, however, that I can change it to something more suitable. Huh...

 

[dgKurai]

Wow, I definitely see some potential here. Keep working at it, you have a good talent.

 

[Corvus of the Black Night]

Interesting, but your lines are very, very thick. Too thick, to be honest. I bet they'll look a lot better if you loosen up the thick lines a bit.

Sabrina's body looks very lanky. Don't try to define the joints so much, it makes her look very sick or something :p

 

[GhostlyPhoenix]

Thanks for the tips - I attempted to apply what you suggested in this drawing I've just made of Gardevoir (gawd, I am addicted to Gardevoir way too much... X_X) - personally, I reckon this is the best drawing I have made with GIMP so far... of course, though, I got to know you guys's opinions as well. :P

Spoiler:

Despite thinking it turned out quite good, I'm not very pleased with the lightsource... oh well.

 

[Foxtrot Wolfwhistle]

good work on fixing your lineart, but I really do recommend you try drawing from real life for a while, especially if you're keen on improving. Try posemaniacs.com, create a scrapbook of skeletal and animal references, ease off the filters and effects and try to find proper digital tutorials, or better yet, try experimenting with traditional medium.

Good luck!

 

[.Missingno]

I Like Them All and strangely one of the ones you said was Meh is my favorite the Chubat

Out of all them I think Alexis might need to be fixed. The legs are a bit off but asides from that its really good. It sucks that I cant sue my scanner right now or Id be posting my pics too. Ahwell. I wonder what youll come up with next?

 

[Vriksha]

that grasshopper fakemon is really cool!
keep up!

 

[Aeroblast.]

[Vriksha]
