Artist's Comments

Colored work number 2!

I couldn't sleep tonight, so I went into hyperdrive, and finished this baby off.

I know, I know...people were hoping for slowbro...and I plan to get to him soon...but because he was one of my earliest works, I would like to do a bit of an overhaul on him, and actually improve the shading on the drawing, add some more notation, then rescan it, and then you will have your slowbro. I chose buizel, because he looked amazing already, and I just thought I could get him done quickly.

To be honest, I'm hoping with my recent addition of color to my gallery, that maybe my popularity will grow a bit—I don't think I'm really respected or known in the community, but I think I offer something fairly unique...surely there are less people aware of my work than Esepibe, Pokepages, Cascadegonpory, Plateman, AnnaJ, just to name a few...and even with the simple addition of octillery, I got a lot more messages in the last week than I have in the past...

On another note, Snubbull is almost completely done (I plan to finish him up later today (after I sleep)).

So yeah...leave me some love, and check back.

::snooooore::

Oh...yeah...buizel and pokémon belong to ::yawn:: Nintendo and Gamefr—ZZZZzZZzzzzzZzZzzzZzzzZZzzzZZzZZZzzZzZzzzzzzzz

The lengths to which people will go to find scientific explanations for aspects of video games. I once saw a topic on a video-gaming forum attempting to address scientifically how Super Mario Galaxy's Prankster Comets worked.

Wait... I was the one who made that topic.

Oh wow great job once more, Buizel was one of my favourites from your studies. Just a small thing, this is probably just me, but pokemon are so bright and colourful in the games, it would be nice if you dulled them down a bit, it would make them seem more realistic. You dont have to though, its fine as it is!

I think your only ';problem' is exposure, I can't fault your work it's just getting it known.
As for this piece it looks great, the textures are fantastic and the colours are vibrant. Looking forward to seeing snubbull and slowbro soon.

Very nice...I'd love to read through it...could you maybe send me a link (or just write out a quick overview?)

Well, with octillery, I tried to tone it out only slightly, as it is an octopus-like creature, and therefore, pretty vibrantly colored anyway. Buizel, I thought I toned down the bits that really needed it (the color is a bit more washed out than the bright yellow you see in the actual buizel art, as is the small amount of blue on the fins), but I didn't think the slight oranginess to the fur was that unrealistic to begin with...and I'm trying to keep as much of the original flavor of the pokémon alive as possible...

That said, after looking over it, I suppose it could be toned down a bit...

So done. Check it out, and quitcher bitchin'. ;-)

Well, see...that's my thought too. I'm just as good as they are, and I offer something unique...so I'm trying to get myself known (though, admittedly, it's difficult without going to their dA page, and commenting, "zomg! U r so good at drawin teh pokEmans! U should check my gallery!" Of course, even when written in proper English (or American English (forgive me for comparing the two;-)),, it comes off as a bit too pretentious for my tastes...so...

I guess I'll just wait.

Oh...and thank you as always. :D

Wow you actually listened to me, you didnt have to. I did notice you toned down the fins anyway and it looked nice so you didnt have to change much anyway. I do admit I prefer it much more now but thats just due to my personal preferences.
I did agree on octillery which is why I never mentioned it, but most weasels/otters arent very colourful, since I guess they need to camouflage.

Ps. how did you make that water effect? it looks really really really nice.

The water was just a filter really...I just selected the area around buizel, then slapped a ripple filter on it, and voila. :-)

I'd like to, but I don't think it's there anymore.
