Description Hocotate Freight is facing bankruptcy! Won't you help Louie & Captain Olimar, along with the Pikmin, seek out the treasures and trinkets found on the Distant Planet? No worries, this time you got all the time in the world, all while being nagged by an annoying ship.


COMMENTARY/COMPLAINTS:
Huh, I actually felt much better overall with this one than with Olimar's piece.
(He and the Pikmin were done better though. It's brighter too...)

I wanted a complimentary red BG, but that wouldn't go well with the ship here. I'm mostly proud of the Hocotate Ship, not too much with Louie though... (his pose...) '^' Bulbmin is cute, so are the Pikmin, like with Olimar's group. Rust-banging up the ship was fun, but I fudged up the size difference between it and the others!

Tons of layers again (13-27 )...but I pulled though! After 4+ hrs of non-stop working....I...must rest now.

I had a HARD time naming this drawing, haha!
Hmm, should I try the cast from Pikmin 3 next?



Drawing: 1 hr & 45 mins.
Color & Styling: 3 hrs & 16 mins, + more...

This drawing and the Pikmin 1 one are great! Now all that's left is Pikmin 3

Love the way you have shaded this Saiiko, especially on the ship which gives it a vivid feeling of an old ship and a bit of rust according to your description! Excellent indeed!Β

Is it me or is there a depiction of Olimar in a dress on the Hocotate ship!? 0_o Β XD Haha, oh Louie you just couldn't help yourself could you?

Thanks, although when I look further the ship is apparently in an even worse shape than drawn here.

And about the logo, haha nah it's not Olimar. It's this images.wikia.com/pikmin/images… . I didn't draw it right enough.

Hmm, I see...A little intensity on the ship there now that I think about it...but eh it's whatevers I guess...

Oh, that explains a lot, I was about to say...but for some reason it does resemble Olimar in some way...

If you're going to advertise and help yourself, the very least you could also do is say something relevant to the art.

Well ok. I do want anime that does'nt look like pokemon or sparkelz or junk like that. I need people who can draw blood and a forest and old worn down buildings and last but not least weapons: Tomohawks, axes, guns, ext. Again sorry about the advertisment.

You're missing the point.Β 


All said and done had nothing to do with what I drew here. I'm fully aware you are pitching an advertisement, and such areΒ not posted on drawings of others that have NO connection to said ad. If you absolutely HAD to put up an ad seeking help, then a somewhat more appropriate place would've been on my profile page. Still, it's blatant advertisement if you're not going to say anything specific to the person who you are using.


This is considered spam in all honesty.Β 



My gripe is the fact that you're using me, without courteous respect.

You should do a pikmin 3 Drawing of the three captains ! Also maybe draw all of the captains from the whole series in a group picture maybe (and Character D too :3)!

This drawing is amazing xD! I could never draw a picture like that.. :3! :'D Your are one of my favorite artists on DeviantArt! --Jamie

Well I don't really know much about Pikmin, but I think these guys are pretty cute! hehe. And you draw them so well. I like the little purple guy most I think. (Probably cuz that's my favorite color lol) But hes also cute. ;] Love his eyes. I also really like the way you drew the ship. I actually really like the way you drew the glass on the top haha. Its very hard to draw see-through objects. (for me anyway. ) Great job!!

saiiko In reply to K-Bree [2013-06-05 12:28:33 +0000 UTC]

Ehehe~ thanks Bree! When I also don't know much about Pikmin, I also thought the big eyes of Purple Pikmin made him rather adorable and if not the cutest. (He and Yellow ranked among my faves of the Pikmin types. )

Yeah, making things transparent can be both fun and annoying at times, and unfortunately with me, this series has more of that than what I am used to...(pilot cockpits, space helmets, bright beacon lights, etc...) X.x;;

I like all the little details you put on the ship and the Pikmin and Louie's pose.

"Hmm, should I try the cast from Pikmin 3 next?""
No... you should DRAW SACHO!!!

One for Shacho? At first I was thinking, "who or what could go with him since I already used the Hocotatw Ship? " Then, you actually made me brainstorm, lol! I have an idea now , though I'm not sure if anything will amount from it. Shacho doesn't have a lot of fans, though I feel do bad for him at times, what with the amount of disapproval I constantly hear from my cousin.

Ah and thank you.

LuigiBlubber In reply to saiiko [2013-05-28 22:07:04 +0000 UTC]

Maybe you could use food to go with him!
Well, if you do make an attempt, good luck! And make that mustache really burly, too!

Considering your cousin doesn't like Shacho, I don't like your cousin...

She adds that "Shacho is so ugly. He's got a butt face." ; That's expected withe kids, lol. Pff, She's laughing now.

Well I drew him once on the doodle sheet, so perhaps I may give Shacho a shot.

200+ layers?! Holy pizza! How do you even manage that without your PC freezing up?! Anything above 15 layers is a nightmare for me. @__@

Ah, and thanks! It almost seems like I put far more effort into the ship than anything else. XD;;

Gabasonian In reply to saiiko [2013-05-28 03:52:45 +0000 UTC]

My pc's fine with it, it's just that the program I'm using, called Paint Tool sai, only allows 256 layers max xD I've gone over that a few times actually, I really gotta manage those layers haha L:
For the life of me, I don't remember if you use sai or not

Really, the ship is nice ~Like how you gave it a 'battered' look :7

Exactly, plus I'd like to include all the new Pikmin (if there are any besides Winged and Rock) to compliment the other pieces properly.

Drawing that Spaceship from Koppai is going to be painful....
