[Art] Wut? KoA makes pics too?

[KoA]

I know, you're all probably irate because I just posted a sprite topic yesterday! Well, I happen to be fascinated with visual art so I like to extend into as many visual media as I can.

I've been drawing for forever, but as of last year, I conquered the color hurdle with my artwork. This is one concept that has been eluding me for many years and I was prouder than a three armed monkey when I did my first colored piece!

In the past year, I've done primarily pokemon drawings, but that's ok because we're all nerds on the inside.

Let's start with some of my good non-colored art first.



I did this piece a couple years ago after finishing up Resident Evil 4. I felt like i would be fun to make a monster that has no point to it whatsoever, then made it a messy rotten corpse.

This next one is what I felt Pirateman would look like in Navi form as PirateMan.EXE. Doesn't it just make you jolly as a roger?

Another one of my favorite video game series is Castlevania. I was developing my own CV fangame last year, but ditched it because I am too ambitious. Anywho, the Hero was Julia Belmont, daughter of Julius:

One of the bosses for the game was Charybdis, which is a monster from the Odyssey and was the sister to Scylla, who made an appearance as a boss in Symphony of the Night. Warning, the following image contains boobages:

Next is a joke piece made in Commemoration to Portrait of Ruin and its many female monsters:

Goody, now we move onto the pokemon sketches. These are kinda old but still pretty ok, in my opinion. The first one is my rendition of an Abomasnow evolution, named Yetalanche:

Jynx evo named Voodear:

Pinsir evo and Lapras pre-evo:

A fusion of Garchomp and Lugia:

Steelix broken down into parts. I was gonna use this picture to help me with a sprite, but I never got around to it:

Mamoswine, my favorite pokemon. I plan on coloring this soon:

Chansey, in all her down syndrome glory:

These next few are concepts for new pokemon as a part of Smogon's "Create-A-Pokemon" project:

A concept for an Ice/Bug type:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...gsmall.png


A couple designs for a marrionette based Ghost/Fight pokemon. Was supposed to be a Banette evo:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...tteevo.png
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...annevo.png

Another Ghost/Fight type based off an undead Viking:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...tfight.png

My final Ghost/Fight design inspired by the Gibdos from Ocarina of Time. This design went on to be chosen and is now known as Revenankh:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...mummra.png

Some random Steel/Dark type I made. Had no relation to the CaP project:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...rsteel.png

A design or a Fire/Grass type. Based off of echidnas:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...egrass.png

Another Fire/Grass design, based off of some silly Chili peppers:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...eppers.png

Yet another Fire/Grass design. Based off of...burning flowers?
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...eedpod.png

My final Fire/Grass design. Based loosely off of cockatrices in mythology:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...atrice.png

The winning Fire/Grass design (Not made by me), is named Pyroak and I redrew it for funsies:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...ewpose.png

The next CaP was for a Poison/Ground type, so I had a couple goes at it. The first design being based off of a hybrid between a Raptor and a basilisk:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...silisk.png

The next design is a weird hybrid of Desertman.EXE and the Black Devil...
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...round1.png

My last design was based off a wolf-horse thing. I guess you could call it a Toxic WolfHorse, arharhar:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...glines.png



Well, let's move onto what you really wanted, my colored pics! Yay!
Be forewarned that most of my colored pics are pokemon related, haha.

Chansey, my first coloring job (and it shows):

My design for a Water/Fight CaP. It's based off of a merman and tessenjutsu, the art of fighting with fans:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...n-size.png

MUNCHLAAAAX! A gift for a friend of mine I love.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...axcopy.png

A panda:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/k...nder-1.png

A Normal/Fight type I made based off a Gorilla, named Hibabango. No relevance to CaP:


A colored portrait of someone dear to my heart:

This was my proposed picture for CaP 7's Ghost/Steel type. I designed it around the Vassago enemies from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. I made this using a different technique. It takes alot longer than my standard one, but looks damn impressive in the end.

Mamoswine colored:


Shaymin. I'm no too good with 'cute' images:


Luvsic and Luvdisc evo:


STARMIE!



Well, those are my arts as of now. I'm constantly improving and changing my art around, so I might surprise you guys yet. I'm currently in training to improve my methods with this new CG style.

[Voyage 34]

I like your syle. You got some pretty good concepts too.
That winning Fire/Grass looks more like a Digimon to me.

[Coffee Alloys]

Dang,that Ghost/Steel looks epic...

Grichaim
Imprisoned Pokemon
HT 4'75
WT 25.5 lbs
Few have seen this Pokemon, for it lives a solitary life. In legend, if a human got clamped to this Pokemon's metal cuffs, they would be changed into a Grichaim at midnight.

[KoA]

Yeah I rarely settle on names for my creations, so that one sounds just spiffy to me. ^^

I'm gonna TRY to get another pic up by day's end. I just have a few errands to run today first like food shopping for the new place.

omnomnom

[KoA]

Slight bumpers. This is my first non-pokemon art in god knows how long, and it feels excellent to not be haunted by visions of pokemon dancing through your mind.

Essentially, this pic was more or less a practice of shading and line structure with my cg style. I also picked up a bit of anatomy along the way as working with people is great every now and then.

Essentially, I converted a still photograph and touched it up and incorporated all the appropriate shading and highlight effects. I daresay I was blown away myself with the final result. Even the hair, which is always my worst thing, came out great.

[KoA]

Ugh, I got the email this morning about it, How do I manage to go through 25 gigs of photo allowance in a month? I'm calling shenanigans on this, but whatever.

I'm reuploading my last two pics on imageshack, despite how much I hate it:

[KoA]

Possibly my best pic to date.

I dunno if anyone here is a fan of the Ys series, but I did my own artistic interpretation of Darm, the final boss of Ys II.

I tried out a couple new techniques, including the fire in his crystal, but the end result came out phenomenal.

Would it be weird of me to be considering having this tattooed on me?

[Alpha Six]

Heh, that's pretty excellent man.

[KoA]

I finished my article illustration for an online magazine. The article is an interview with the site owner who has an oversized beard and is nicknamed bear for it. I think the resulting image is fitting. B)

[KoA]

Eh, a couple sketches today. I'm not good at drawing out my feelings, but when you have the right girl on your mind, things have a habit of coming out easier. x)


"This heart has seen its share of troubles in the past, but it still shines as pure as the morning sun. It is now and forever in good hands"




"You will never be alone, as I watch you from above. Pain will never come your way, as I will suffer it for you instead. Your feet will never grow weary, as I will carry you across the world."

I'm such a sap.

[Coffee Alloys]

Aw, the Pokemon Pics are gone...

[KoA]

I'm sorry man, they'll be back the first week of April, I think.

damn bandwidth. :/

[KoA]

New pic today, I call it "The Martyr"

[Clear_Midnight]

*dies of shock*
WOW
one word: EPIC

[KoA]

One of my best pieces yet, I think.

Drew my design for an Electric/Dragon typed pokemon locked into mortal combat with MegaSeadramon, the Digimon he eerily resembles. I believe MegaSeadramon was capable of firing off electric bolts from his horn in the show. If not, oh well he does now.
