Description Told you my art has been really bad lately... this is just a doodle though. Started out on the touchpad while I was playing Pokemon Pearl. (Yay multitasking!) This is what it used to look like:

[link] (top one, obviously)

Yeah, somehow it ended up with an entirely different pose by the time I finished. Dunno how that happened.

Sorry there's no background. I might add one later. I guess I was lazy.

(...do butterflies even exist in the Pokemon world? Probably not... oh well.)

I have no idea how you come up with the idea that this is bad xD -huggles- And you were even afraid people would stop watching you? On the contrary, this reminds me of why I am watching you C: (Not that I forgot about that.)

Keep it up hon ^^ Your work looks great!

Okay, it's not bad. But... it's not good either. XD; But compared to the stuff I did on my artblock, it is a lot better. Thanks for your compliment!

Aww, Bulbasaur's always a classic favorite. This one is so cute! -^^- You seriously do a great job with coloring. I don't see how you can think otherwise. ><;;

Oh, and that other doodle is cute too! XD

Thanks. I won't say the colouring's terrible, but it still could be a lot better.

Oh my gosh, it's so cute! (definitely better than anything I could put out during an art block... o_o) I love how you color. It's so smooth and looks painted and everything-- I can't believe you said you rushed the coloring on this and it still looks like that. I fail at smooth shading I guess, because I could spend a loooong time coloring a picture and it still wouldn't look like that. XD I actually like the simple background; it puts more emphasis on the butterfly and Bulbasaur.

... You know, this is so cute it actually makes me really like Bulbasaur (I was always more of a Squirtle and Charizard fan...) XD I liked how Pikachu follows you around in Yellow though-- I thought it was hilarious when the Jigglypuff would put him to sleep.

Aw, thanks so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate it. But it's honestly weird for me to hear people say they like the colouring, when to me it just looks so messy, and... bleh. But I'm glad you like it. I was always more of a fan of the Charmander/Squirtle lines as well, but Bulbasaur grew on me quite a bit. ^^

Haha, I remember that! That game was really cute.

Wow, it's so cute! How can you say this is bad, it rocks! I love the eyes ^^

Alopec In reply to spiffychicken [2007-06-06 00:56:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Actually, I guess it is a lot better than the rest of the art I've been doing lately (the stuff I didn't post). But it's just very hard for me to be positive about my art. Glad you like it though.

Ildri [2007-06-05 16:10:06 +0000 UTC]

Aw~! That's far, far from bad. The coloring is excellent, especially the shiny eyes. *_* Hmm, I would think there are butterflies in Pokeworld... but, then again, what about Butterfree and Beautifly... Hmmm....

Alopec In reply to Ildri [2007-06-05 17:38:22 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, Beautifly and Butterfree probably take the place of real butterflies in the Pokeworld...

Bayyari [2007-06-05 05:36:22 +0000 UTC]

it isn't bad at all kynale! and the way you color is always been a skill i've wanted. but i think i'll stick to perfecting what i know already. but yeah, I like it a lot, its good. and i thought it was kinda funny that i knew exactly which pokemon, or that it was a pokemon at all just by the title

Alopec In reply to Bayyari [2007-06-05 17:08:12 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I'm glad you like the way I colour. This one had very rushed colouring though... and I also don't like how it got kinda screwed up when I uploaded it. XP Oh well. Heh, glad you could tell what it was from the title!

Bayyari In reply to Alopec [2007-06-05 19:52:24 +0000 UTC]

you are really way too hard on yourself really! i would have considered that a finished piece, i think those types of backgrounds that you have are better than most full blown backgrounds. makes you kinda wonder what else is going on, instead of just giving you everything to see.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Alopec In reply to Bayyari [2007-06-05 20:14:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's true. I like doing full-blown backgrounds too, because they're fun. But for this picture, it seemed too distracting... like I thought it'd be better to keep it simple so you can just focus on Bulbasaur and the butterfly without a bunch of leaves or flowers or whatever taking away from the focus. It also doesn't help that Bulba is green, so he wouldn't stand out in that type of background.

I like this pose better. It's really cute!

I've always wondered one thing about pokemon; are there any meats that they eat there? Or do they eat pokemon? D:

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Alopec In reply to Tiuni [2007-06-05 02:52:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, part of the reason I changed it is because the other one was just sitting there and kinda boring, not much action. Thanks!

I think they do eat Pokemon... D: There are references to that in both the anime and the games, like Farfetch'd being a delicacy. They never actually SHOW it though.
