I was drawing some pokemon...

[Sam]

Damn.

You're amazing, Sora.
Seriously, you're better than me... and that's saying something. (Joke, I'm not that vain).

You're seriously awesome.
Age restrictions my arse, you should be a PU artist.

The age restriction is more of a formality than anything else. It's more about being mature and we've found that younger people aren't usually as mature as the older ones (go figure )

But, regardless, one of our artists, Alais I believe, looked at Sora's work and liked it and if I'm not mistaken, gave Sora some work to see how well he/she can do.

That being said, and I hate to be a debbie downer, but I'm not impressed. While the images are better than what we normally see, I'm not sure they're good enough for the type of art PU is getting known for.

These pictures are extremely simplistic and do not provide a great idea of Sora's abilities.  Most of these Pokemon are also blocky and much easier to draw. So I won't really be impressed until I see some more complicated Pokemon in different poses.

OK, I'll get down to work on more complicated pokemon.
Here are some other pictures you can look at;

(I wasn't really concetrated on this one)

Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up, now that school's starting.

Hopefully, indeed.

[Sam]

Awesome!

Lucario looks like he's wearing boxer shorts instead of having the puffed up things, but still looks cool.

Seriously, you are a good artist.

[Sora]

Yea, Lucario isn't very good...
But I like the rest~

[Jerry]

The last four ones are more difficult to draw than the previous ones >.<

You'll have to get more practice with them.

My feedbacks on the last ones:
I think that Lucario is a little to high and thin. Its legs, paws and head seem 'square-ish'.
I don't know what's wrong with Raikou, but it's funny (Sorry for laughing). It's maybe the head, it's a little too 'long'.
Scizor has the same thing. It looks long and skinny.
In Registeel, the 'circular base' between the body and the legs is a little too large. The legs are cylindrical instead of becoming a little smaller as it goes up.

I hope that this will count as positive feedback to improve your drawings

[Raikt]

I think the hands and hair on the anime styled ones are well done. They are rather complex, and coming from someone who has taken (and failed) at art,  I know how hard they can be to manage. For the Pokemon, I think they are all well done. I really like Registeel and Raikou. Though, as Jerry said, I think Scizor is too skinny.

He is a bulky Pokemon by nature, due to typing and stats. So, to me, it just looks a bit odd to have him that skinny. Otherwise, I think you actually improved upon your first posts.

[Sam]

I disagree with Jerry's claim that Raikou's face is too "long". I think Raikou was drawn fantastically, and instead of looking angry like artists usually draw it, it looks very calm.

[Sora]

Yea, you're right, I'll keep in mind those changes when I put them in Ilustrator. It's easier to edit skinnyness there than on paper.
*sigh* I guess I can't can't go over my own style, so art program editing will have to do...
Anyway, thanks for teh feedback everyone!

[Jerry]

Ok, I checked now.

Another front head:


It's only the head that I know that you can improve. The heads from the official sprites are slightly wider than longer.

Another front head:

"CONSTIPATION!"

[Sora]

Yea, I have to make the helmet-thingy a little shorter on the top and the 'mane' part more bulky. I'll keep that in mind! Thanks!

[Jerry]

No problem
