Pokemon Platinum

EDIT: October 9, 2013.
THANKS FOR OVER 600 FAVES ON THIS! lol Kind of surprising. The image I originally uploaded was kinda small! Well, I am putting up a larger version. I made this a long time ago when I was using a pretty crappy program to colour with so you can see the wibbly brush strokes everywhere, but it still holds up kinda? lol Good try for 4 years ago!

One of the images I made for a gaming site I'm contributing to! The site's all up and we're still working on content, but I felt that helping to promote it on DA would be a good start too!

So please head to GamingFringe.com for fun random information about obscure or non-mainstream games, and even to just participate in the forums.

Pokemon Platinum

I think one of the big appeals to Pokemon, besides the addictive mechanic of catching and battling, are the characters and the art. It's friendly and FUN to look at and draw! --even the badguys with their hideous hair is fun to draw.

This one was probably the most fun for me to do, even though it also felt liek it took the most "research" (what, with Giratina origin "forme", shaymin sky and land forms, and all this other crazy jazz). I actually planned to include Palkia, Dialga, Shaymin, Regigas, and Rotom's other forms too, but I ran out of space and ambition!

Girantina is creeeepy.
I think I'm getting too ambitious as each piece goes on. I have to tone it down next time.. XD I like how colourful this looks though. I like admiring the badguy rainbow.
