Description Do you remember the pokemon sprites of generation 1 and 2?
I remember charizard, kangaskan and mewtwo being like this but I can't remember others. Sandslash, maybe?


I used Dan Gartman's tutorial for this illustration. The technique is a mix of vector and digital art using photoshop and illustrator.

I remember seeing some fanart that took these sprites and drew them as if they were actual unique Pokemon themselves. Can't seem to find it again though.

I'm still not sure how it's eyes are supposed to be, so I let it like it was.

i think drawing it this way kept it in a "videogame" like vibe

Oh, that's true! Now I see that if I've changed it, maybe it wouldn't feel like the game!

yeah if you keep more geometrical shapes in these kind of works it will give it that sort of feeling, good job

You're welcome! I did play the original Silver and Gold games. I do believe they used the same sprite.

Yeah, the original Gold and Silver games used the same sprite. It was fun to not knowing the pokemon that it was. But seeing lugia sprite was something special, don't you agree?

I never saw the lugia sprite on that game. And to be honest I much prefer the sprites we have now.

That's true, sprites now are much better! The lugia's sprite was the first to be "the pokemon" itself, so it was cool
