Hey there Matsuko. :)

Can I ask what kind of materials you're using? Some seem like colored pencil while others look like they were done in markers.

This right here is blowing my mind. That is just... crazy. Your stippling is fantastic. I can definitely appreciate how difficult that must have been. Stippling is just a hard thing to do, let alone correctly, and I think you absolutely nailed this. It's such a time consuming and ritualistic technique style of shading, but the fact that you weren't afraid to go dark really works in your favor. The area around and in Zekrom's tail looks so stunning. The depth you were able to get is just... wow.

This Heatran also stands out to me. The texture you were able to get in the magma is amazing. Like, I feel like if I reached out and touched it, it would actually be hot. If the magma itself done in colored pencil? Because it kind of looks like it was.. but it's hard to tell. You've got a truly incredible technique going on here, and I don't just mean in Heatran. Pretty much everything here is a step above.

I also like your text on the Scrafty piece. :3 That's cute. I do a bit of calligraphy myself (although I know that isn't calligraphy by it's standard definition), so it's nice to see someone putting in the time and effort to writing (or drawing, rather) their own text.

Very excited to see what you post next. :]

wow, thank you for the compliments! these were all done in inking pens, and colored pencil. no markers whatsoever. and yes, the pointillism--especially for zekrom--did take forever. XD

heatran always looked like a frog to me, so that's what i made it :3

and with scraggy and scrafty, that's what i think of when i see them. not sure about other countries, but in the u.s. there's been a craze of super baggy pants. i did this drawing to make fun of it... >_>

your art is very unique! you seem to have like a dotted and stippling style you use in some of your art, it's kind of cool.
your drawings are very kind of dinosaur feel which is cool! i my favorite of that set is definitely the first two since the stippling worked to its advantage with the black and white.
the humor one is my favorite! your text is amazing! i would definitely make some text pieces when you update your art gallery.
i would try experimenting with shading and using your strength of text in future art pieces. nice job.
