Description I'd been planning to draw something that showed I could draw the actual pokemon, too. (Not just the trainers, though I must say, I'm biased toward them because they're easier in most cases.)

I was playing my blocky Gameboy Color, and wandered through Ilex forest again. I forgot that you can run into Paras there, so that became the focus of the drawing. I used three different textures and the color scheme from the old Sugimori art.

This is exactly how I pictured the forest. Darn, Dank, and possibly haunted. You know in the Gold/Silver remakes the games treat it as a cave instead of forest.

Your concept idea for the Ilex forest is amazing. *o*
It looks ancient with the moss draped over the branches and the unique lighting.

Very Cool.

That's the kind of vibe I got while playing through that area. Because it was a forest where you didn't need to walk in grass to find a Pokemon, it was unnerving. I got the feeling it was really old and overgrown.

Yeah! o-o I remembered that part now. It's one of my favorite places in G/S/C along with the National Park and Dragons Den.

It's definetly overgrown though, it was constantly dark in there no matter what time of day it was, so that meant that the sun never shines through to the forest floor.

If only the in-game version looked as cool as this picture! ^w^

I love that your style reminds me a whole lot of the game^^. Did that Oddish on the side die XP?

Yay! I've done something correctly if it reminds you of the game.

They're going to be eaten. (Muahaha) Paras is protecting its food from others. I think they may have been poisoned or stunned, but they're not dead, yet. xD

This is great. Makes me think of how I feel when I play the games and don't think about the anime version... it feels more like this to me: quiet, naturalistic, and a little weird.

This is so atmospheric; you made the Ilex forest look so damn good. Great use of sappy greens.

Excellent rendition of Paras, Cyndaquil and Gold aswell.
