Back in blue

[Vaporeon Lugia Krabby]

It's been too long since I was last here. My gosh. I could cry. I missed this place so badly. (I'm an old fool who never let's go.) But for the sake of tradition, no new art thread is complete without the art. Pokemon art. (I'll have to get to posting to the new topics that follow this.)

Salvation. The 11 older legendaries.
Armageddon. The 10 newer ones. Both pictures are meant to be paired with one another.
Heads Up. Some whacky ghost Pokemon.
Blood And Ice. A picture with a weird Articuno.

*Hugs all around* Nice to be back.

I'm glad we have you back too!

The coloring on the first pictures is not too much varying, but it looks nice. The articuno one looks really special.I have to say I like it

Salvation and Armageddon (I like the names)

I like it how you made the texture on some of the Pokemon (Atricuno, Celebi,Entei) Celebi's angry look looks great, as does moltres transpartant flame. Suicune and Lugia seem a bit wierd, Lugia seems a bit to friendly for this picture and Suicune looks strange because of the angle

Help! Evil Jirachi! I like it how you can make those cute Pokemon look evil. Deoxis carrying Jirachi look nice. The Regi's seem like they've been put in a some place were was still some space, but that's were the Regi's are for, right? to be put in if no other pokemon can ;-) (I don't like them too much) Latios and Latias look nice, twisted in al angles in this way, maybe they could use a bit more shading? Requeza and Kyeorge seem wierd, espially Kyeorge looks strange from the angle.

Heads Up.

*giggles* Nasty ghosts. They look really funny, especially Gastly looks original. Misdreavus looks a bit wierd, may be because it’s laughing, I’ve never seen a laughing ghost before ;-) Shuppet eyes seem to have some irising effect in real (simalair to the colorplay of opals) Something that looks a bit like it would be nice

Blood And Ice.

I love the style of this one. The Articuno is beautiful, I like the element traesures on her head. Texture of the hair on her head and the fur on her breast look incredible.The bloodshape really looks like a woman, and I essecially like the somewhat angelic wings that it has. Maybe those could use some more texture, but they look already great

Welcome back, VLK! We missed you a lot and of course, your art. ^_^

I must say all the pieces are pretty good, but my number one favorite is Heads Up. Their expressions are really comical and the cel shading is neat.

Salvation: I think Mew's head is a bit off, but I really like their expressions. They look serious, as if they are determinated to do something important.

Armaggedon: I like the background a lot on this one. And I never thought of seeing Jirachi with such expression. ^^;

Blood and Ice: the blood and legendary treasures effects are simply awesome. Not to mention the coloring.

Re:

Gosh, Flare-Espeon! Great to see you. I really like what you mentioned. The constructive criticism is excellent.
The Suicune... well... yeah... it's that chin thing and well... I shouldn't have done it looking up. A lot of people at school mentioned that. I forget who, but someone else pointed out the Lugia, and that it lacks the aggression.
Lol. Regis make great space fillers. Plus they're all so blocky and dull and... Sorry, I loathe them.... So that is what the sibling Legendarys lack... Oopsie! Oh well, thank you. Poor Rayquaza, it looks so weird from the side. It's always drawn on better angles. As for Kyogre, I like it at that angle because it's different than the normal angle. But you brought up some really good points.
Tried to keep the ghost Pokemon looking normal. In a way. Shuppets eyes are the weird multi colored thing and well, I wasn't going to gradient the eyes or take away from the more traditional Pokemon style. But it's a good idea, and I like it.
I should have added texture to my gal's wings. And Articuno's come to think of it. I'm a chicken.


Good to see you too, Kasumi Chan. Still doing the mod job, I see. Thanks for the comments, they're nice.
Glad you liked the ghost pic. As for the Mew.... err, none of mine look normal. I should try for the norm though. Still, thank you. You're comments are very appreciated as always.

Salvation and Armageddon both look cool, however either you were in a bad mood or they were in a bad mood because that looks like two parts to a boxing poster... :sweatlol:

Heads up is cool, This picture is very appealing to me, also the way duskull is drawn could also pull em in more fans because the style is really cute. I guess all in all I like this picture though they all (arma. and salv. included) do seem in your face (not that that's bad, just a funny pattern I noticed).

bood and ice, um... your words took right of of my mouth:"A picture with a weird Articuno". The effects are nice but I don't see where the picture is going, it just seems abstract (though that's probably the resulted purpose), it's not really bad just not to my liking... :sweatlol:

...ha... ha ha... ha...

Re:

Lol, thank you Bell. Yeah, the first three are more expression focused... and are generally the same style too. Blood and Ice technically has a plot to it and such but yeah, it is more abstract. Still, thank you for the comments.

It's been awhile for me, too. Lookit me catch up in the Art Lounge! It's good to see your art returning, VLK. ^.^

Salvation and Armageddon (oh the names. *hearts*): So serious! I love how the token cute ones are all pissy. So sorry for invading your forest, Celebi. *giggles* I agree about the new batch of Legendaries, they just don't have the same... something. I blame those golem things. So unemotional. But my favorite part of the latter pic is how Latios and Latias (whom I *do* like, actually) are entwined like a yin yang. Very nice.

Heads Up: Wow. Haunter's silliness is infectious... I can't look at my Shuppet the same way again. That's adorable.

Blood and Ice: *boggles* That's some very nice CGing... jealous over here. ^^ I love the backstory, too. Again I bow to your greatness. *bows* ^^;
