E4 Pokemon fan art and crafts

Thank you everyone for the kind words!

@Dyl planning the piece in Procreate took around 2-3 hours. It’s harder to track how long the cutting of the stencils/cards and assembly took because I spread the work across multiple days. But I’d say probably another 4 or 5 hours of actual work.

It’s a commitment, but I’m happy with how this one turned out.

Amazing work as always! The shading of the colors is always an attention to detail that elevates your pieces to the next level :slightly_smiling_face: The precision necessary for lining up all those pieces so that they fit neatly under the black cardstock is also no joke. I feel like there’s not a lot of room for error there, given how thin some of those outlines can be.

Just wonderful work! What do you use to cut? Your lines are so clean!

I used to cut all my pieces entirely by hand with an x-acto knife, but recently I’ve been cutting the black cardstock layer with my Cricut.

As @bbobrob pointed out, I have to cut the cards precisely enough so that separations are hidden under the black cardstock layer. But this also relies on the black cardstock layer being exactly as planned, which isn’t always realistic when dealing with designs that have thin <1mm lines for example. So getting to plan the line art in Procreate and cut it with my Cricut eliminates that variable and more reliably yields a clean piece like this one :slight_smile:

Here are a few Kyrogre pieces inspired by @jaxlax21 in this thread E4 favorite Kyrogre . Both still need a little work, but I have run short on time.

First “Just a Big Whale in the Ocean”

Then a little color in the deep

@niece Wow, I really love these. Absolutely stunning work!

@cyberurchin As always, your artwork is fantastic. The subtle Rocket “R” is a great touch.

I too really like the R. I also like the highlights with the purple gives some nice depth!

@niece Amazing pieces! The concept with Greninja and the angel’s ladders give the piece a feeling of serenity after the supposed storm. And the flora and background in general in your second piece is absolutely beautiful (your flora is always on point!).

@cyberurchin The lighting and Charizard’s glare really make him look menacing here. Great work!

@citriina Extremely cute work! I have a fondness for all round pokemon :slightly_smiling_face:

Another playmat illustration finished! This collection of Pokemon was a ton of fun too. I love adding a bunch of little details, even when I know they won’t be seen on tiny phone screens, haha. At least when they’re printed full size like the playmats, they’ll be noticeable.

@citriina @cyberurchin Both look amazing, as usual! Also cool to see two amazing artworks with such different art styles under one another. :smiley:

Keep up the great work, both of you!

I finished my ornament. I might have added too much glitter on top. I took inspiration from the master ball. :hushed:
