Lol. So hi there. Thanks for checking out this topic. I started out as a pencil artist, but then I got a tablet and I'm more of a digital artist now. Most (All...?) of my stuff is Pokémon, because I like it. So this will be all of my digital stuff. Mostly I draw in a lineless style that I'm quite fond of. When I draw outlines I use the line tools because I suck at drawing outlines. P: No blind praise please. Constructive criticism is great. If you like my stuff, then tell me what you like about it, the same goes for if you don't like it. Please don't apologise. I hate it when people do that. Be as harsh as you want, as long as it's constructive I don't care if you say that better could have come from a cow's butt. Alright. These will be going from old -> new. To save your eyes, I'll link to the original deviation page. All of my art can be found at my deviantART page. My username there is Md427. Rayquaza Very old. This was the first drawing I did when I got my tablet. Which is why it sucks, lol. Vaporeon Something I did for a contest. Cobie (a friend's OC) An art trade with my friend, she wanted me to draw her dragon OC, Cobie. Sparkles, my Flygon sona/OC This is just a quick drawing I did of my sona/Pokémon OC, Sparkles. Basically she's a shiny Flygon but with eyes that can change colour from a deep red to the gold that normal shiny Flygons have. She also wears a Choice Scarf but I cba to put that in. Murkrow A request from a friend. Sorry for the crappy feet. And the slightly too-tall hat. Blades of Glory, my Scyther OC Just a random drawing of him. He has scars, but I couldn't be bothered. There are a few other things that are differentiate him from other Scythers. Read the artist's comment section on the deviation, I can't be bothered to type everything out. P: Darkrai Just something I did as a cool-down/cure for boredom. Made in MS Paint cos I didn't feel like working in anything more advanced. Hobia Everything is in the artist's comments, lol. Basically this is something I did for my friend because he's an amazing spriter. It's a drawn splice of Ho-Oh, Lugia and Celebi. Koromori Something I did in the same style as Darkrai. I asked my friend what to draw since I was bored, and he's obsessed with Koromori so he wanted me to draw it. P: Destroyer, my Absol OC A drawing of Destroyer, my Absol OC. I was bored. Sorry for the creepy look, it was unintentional. >.> His name is a bit of an inside joke. Tsutaja evolution sprite Just a sprite of the supposed Tsutaja evolution. Yes, this is a sprite, but I figured that I'm posting all of my digital stuff here anyway, I'm not going to make another topic for one freaking sprite. >.> Alright, that's it. Again, constructive criticism please. Resplendence, over and out. ^__^ |

Your shaded work is vastly better than your non-shaded work. It probably has to do with the fact that your outlines are pretty shaky, though I can't really blame you there. My favourite by far of your work is Blades of Glory Scyther. Whenever you DO shade, it's actually pretty amazing, since your gradients are extraordinarily smooth and it seems to be shaded in all the right places. Your sprite is pretty well done too, very, very good for a first attempt. Don't be afraid to use black outlining! I know it can make your sprite look jagged but well done it really pops your sprite and brings it out. Even in the parts of the outline touched by light, it wouldn't hurt to use a darker shade of the base colour to bring it out just a touch more. Also, remember to, as much as you can, use progressions of 1 on your curves. So if you're trying to make a curve, start with 1 pixel, then 2, then 3, then 4. You can skip when it feels right (usually 3->5 is fine or 4->arbitrarily large number) but sometimes I can see that you skip from 1 or 2 to 10 and that could be smoothed out a little. I do see that over time you're improving, so keep it up! |

Yeah, this is good stuff and your outlines can turn out pretty well when you do use them. Your art style is very smooth with great gradients like IB said. And I absolutely love your MS Paint sprite style lineless, such as the Smugleaf evo and Darkrai. The only criticism I have is that you seem a bit inconsistent. Sometimes you have borders, sometimes you don't, sometimes you only have outer outlines. That's not really a problem, but it helps with self definition of style. Great work. |

Thanks, you two. ^__^ Yeah, when I started out I did stuff in that style... The murkrow is quite old, I just cba to upload it. :/ @ImmunityBow: Thanks, and thanks for the pixel suggestions:D I used to splice, but I've kinda given that up and meh... So I'm not really that accustomed to pixelart. So thanks again for the tips. @Sin: lol yeah, I've noticed that I'm pretty inconsistent. XD; But I think I've settled for that lineless shaded work, like in Destroyer and Blades. Although a few months later I'll probably have a new style. XD; I /might/ have new art up soonish, I dunno. It depends on when I can get stuff reinstalled on my computer and schoolwork. D: |
