Forgotten Fanart

All right, I'm just going to make this post a picture dump of some of my recent and not so recent drawings and whatnot. The oldest is from 2015 or maybe earlier and the most recent ones are from this year obviously. I didn't put them in any age order so they are very randomly listed below.

A bunny, a sketch for a present I was making for a friend. I used a figurine as a reference.

My Little Pony G4 styled pony persona? IDK.

Fan made Pokemon. In the Christmas calender event at Living in the Moving Forest  blog -"Invent your own Pokemon" prompt.

The Hama bead portrait of our horse I made for my mother as a birthday gift. Didn't turn out too great. I would have liked to use a brighter photo as the base, but I didn't have a better headshot of him. It didn't help that I ran out of 4 colors of beads while making it. I prefer the picture in the silver frame because of the bright colors. I made that one as well, like 7-8 years ago.

Dragonball Z. Unfinished drawings of Freeza and an OC Majin character.

My entry for Daria Cohen's Vampair Design Contest on Instagram. The characters are named Missi and Duke. I colored this in a hurry so there are mistakes in here that are bothering me now. Like that cane I didn't retouch at all, so you can see my only brown felt pen was drying and dying. Also, that uncolored dress part on Missi's shoulder is driving me nuts. Check her channel out!

Drew this Jason Voorhees as a Christmas (duh!) card for a friend.

From the Ring movies. I found that one WIP picture I had almost forgotten about in the depths of my tablet. For the colored picture I wanted to mimic that old school TV static you don't see anymore. I also made that plain, basic and dull background just in case I find the other one be too distracting.

At one point, when I got interested in Monster High dolls, I purchased the Monster High PS3 game "New Ghoul in School" when it was on sale. In the game you are allowed to create your own character from different monster classes. It is a kid's game so it's not really that in-depth or hard in any way. I was fun for a short while. Anyway, I made my character a ghost and named her Saya. And after browsing some other fan created MH character sheets, I made her a "skull logo" design and gave her a pet for a good measure, because that apparently it's a must thing for a Monster High character to have.

:::Moomin Art Contest:::

So here above are my entries to the Moomin art contest arranged by Yle.fi in 2019. No, I didn't win, but I'm happy I participated. I don't think I've done any Moomin drawings since my childhood, so it was a lot of fun. I drew five pictures and then colored them on the computer. Usually, when I'm coloring a picture it takes about 1-2 days for me to get it finished. This time, the deadline for entering was drawing near and I hadn't even started coloring any of the pictures. So I did the impossible, and colored all five pictures in one evening. Which seems really crazy now when I think about it. I admit I did cut every possible corner I could to be able to get them finished. I didn't clean the line arts thoroughly and I did color them as fast as possible. The only one I kind of like as it is, is the Snufkin & Little My one. Honestly, I should just re-color all of them, now when I don't have a deadline to keep.

The best part of this is that they highlighted one of my drawings on their website in their post about the contest results! Yay!

:::::

I can't even remember drawing this Snufkin. Which isn't that surprising, I think I must have traced it from a children's book or something in order to be able to color it the way I like.

I'm pretty sure I used a reference picture of a regular Koga dog  when I drew this Kurojaki. I'm not comfortable drawing dogs at all or dogs in Yoshihiro Takahashi's style for that matter, because I'm terrible at it. For practise reasons, I used a ballpoint pen for the  line art instead of the marker pen I usually use. I also tried to follow a tutorial while I was coloring this, but I ended up improvising it anyway. 

Connor, from the game  Detroit: Become Human. This is my most recent drawing, hence a lot of WIP pictures. I liked my pencil drawing that much I didn't want to ink over it, so I improvised a light table to make a second drawing. The actual quote from the game goes "You can't kill me, I'm not alive." But since my drawing is a reference to this meme I had to change it up.

That's all for now!

Pokemon Fanart since 2000

I looked for them everywhere and many paper piles later..... I think I finally found all Pokémon drawing that I've ever done.  So, in a similar fashion as my DQ8 Fanart post, I present the evolution of my Pokémon drawings! As usual, there are very few drawings with dates on them, so with great probability there are gaps of a few years between some drawings.

The above drawings, the surfing Pikachu, Vulpix and Gengar are not my drawings. A childhood friend back from when we were in elementary school, drew them for me. Unfortunately, I later butchered them with my not well developed coloring skills.

Let's get started. The following drawing could be from anywhere between 2000 - 2009 so I've lined them up by my estimation from oldest to newest.

This Eevee drawing here is the only one I can confirm a year on (2001) as it is written on the back that I was 10 years old when I drew it.

2005 maybe? I think I traced this from a poster that I had. Torchic seems to have been a struggle both times for some reason.

Team portrait sketches for my teams in Pokémon Red and Crystal version. Team Red got at least started before being forsaken as you can see in the previous picture. Can you guess who belonged to my Crystal team based on my rough sketch?

I know this one is from 2009. I took me a long time to realize that Rayquaza wasn't exclusive to Emerald, that I could actually capture one in Sapphire! Kyogre sure didn't want me to capture it, as it kept KO'ing it with its Ice Beam even if my team was much lower leveled than Rayquaza.

2010 - 2015 in no particular order

The King of the Electric Jungle

This image was of course directly inspired by Osamu Tezuka's Jungle Emperor (also known as Jungle Taitei / Leo the Lion / Jungle Emperor Leo / Kimba the White Lion)

And my most recent Pokémon drawings can be found in this post. That's all!

.....I never realized how many times I've drawn Diglett until now.
