I say 'art' because there's little to no drawing available in this topic at all. Because I can't draw.
I can, however, design. So, in this topic you can find some wallpapers, some Web Designs and some other bits and bobs.
You can see all my stuff on DeviantArt, including some stuff I wont post here.
I'll start from the Fable II poster and work on from there - anything before, check my dA gallery.
I did this in a landscape poster style, but used a typical widescreen canvas, so you can use it as a desktop if you wish.
The idea was to carry across the same idea that the rest of the game art generally does - that you have two sides of the same person, or in this case, 360 controller, that can be either evil or good, depending on how you play the game.
Full 1280x720 version is available on the dA page.(Click the image)
Random logo design for Pokecharms. Didn't use it on the eventual new site design, probably wont use it for anything at all - but it exists, so here it is.
A wallpaper I put together in a few hours taking a stock photo as a starting point. More info and the full 1440x900 wallpaper is available by clicking the image.
This is a prototype design I put together as a possibility for a new design for Pokecharms. This one is designed to work better with ads and increase forum integration. It also brings back the much requested easy Pokedex search function.
I later took the design and put together a working code for it - which is available [here]. (Though the code itself is messy and hastily put together, so I wouldn't recommend checking the source).
There's also a comparison image available showing how the original design compares to the working page and how the page looks in FireFox and IE. The good news is, the differences are pretty minimal all around.
And finally, this is a design I put together today. They have the Internet in the Pokemon world - so it's safe to assume they'd have a PokeMart website on it, right?
Working with that idea, I've mocked up a design for a fictional PokeMart.com. The entire site exists as if it actually is IN the Pokemon World. I used actual Pokemon Game fonts as a substitute to the normal fonts of Arial, Verdana, Helvetica etc; and included a few ads for other major areas in the Pokemon World that would probably advertise on a site like this.
When you click on one of the sections of the store, the "New In Stock" banner would change to reflect the section you were looking at.
The basis of the design was to try and make it look like the actual storefront of the PokeMarts in the game - it's fairly obscured, but you can see the door at the bottom. It's also why it says SHOP in big red letters at the top of the sidebar, though this seems to have disappeared from PokeMarts as of Generation IV.
I also aimed to give it as much of a pixelly look as possible to fit in with the fact it's based off the Pokemon games. That aesthetic is present most of the time - but for the sake of looking nice, I let it slip on occassion
I couldn't really be bothered trying to imagine what kind of Credit/Debit cards would exist in the Pokemon World, so I just nicked OURS instead. I wouldn't be too surprised if these had permeated into a fictional world anyway - they're everywhere else...

I'll try and keep this thread updated as often as possible - but in case I miss anything, you can watch me on dA if you're interested enough and that will update you as soon as I put anything up. Thanks.
