Description IM SO EXCITED!
X and Y comes out tomorrow!
I'm getting Y

I drew this today while waiting in excitement for the release of Pokemon X and Y tomorrow.
I redesigned the male trainer a little bit. And these are the Pokemon I'm planing on getting.
This took me about all day because the program I usually use to draw wasn't working so I had to use Gimp 2.6. And after having it for over 3 years, I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.

I gave him goggles for when he's rolling around on his skates, wireless headphones(cords get in the way) just cause. Gave him a hoodie with a pocket and rolled up his sleeves. I also put some buttons on his bag like i have, And all the buttons on the bag I actually own. I also put a little pokeball on the sole of his shoe.

Tell me what game and starter you're getting in the comments.

This is Britty from RJ Palmer's stream from the other night! Sorry I'm late to replying to your feedback request. First off, you have some cool stuff going on with your art, most of all I really like how you aren't afraid to try foreshortening. I've known many people who avoid stuff like that,but perspective adds so much to a drawing! 

One of the things I notice that needs some work are folds. These tutorials kitten-chan.deviantart.com/art… , www.mightyartdemos.com/mightya… are good enough to help you with that. Another thing I think would be good would be to look at is lighting/color. This tutorial is a really great place to start: www.deviantart.com/art/How-I-S…

Even doing something as simple as changing the color of the shadows can add a lot of depth to a figure. The only other thing I would suggest is checking out animal anatomy,but that's only if you want to make more stylized or realistic pokemon.

Anyway, I hope my suggestions can be of some help to you!

I can't wait until I get the game! (Probably in a few days)


I'm getting Pokemon X. I saw the spoilers of the final evos, so I'm now torn between Froakie/Fennekin :/ Originally, I was planning on Fennekin but Froakie looks so badass oTL.


Nice pic! You've improved a lot

Woo, we're just counting down the hours until tomorrow, aren't we?


Me, I got both versions, but I'm gonna try X out first. That team's gonna have Froakie, Torchic and Bulbasaur to start.
