@jonandek - Thank you!

Today I have for you… Charizard’s Chonky little cousin - Dragonite :joy:
Thus completing my series of Dratini (choking Charmander), Dragonair and now this one :art::grin:

I hope you like it, I love how these blues and oranges work together in harmony.
Also one of the most old-school Ken Sugimori versions I could find, as always.

Let me know which one’s you’d like me to do next! :pray:t3:

stunning! after you work through your backlog, I’d love to commission something from you. Is Gold Star Rayquaza something you would feel comfortable taking on? shoot me a PM if you like when you have time

It would also be cool to do one of a Pokémon evolving. I’m sure you’re backed up nowadays though.

@liron somewhere down the line, once things slow down (if ever!) I might just have to ask for another!!! HAHAHAH! I can’t get enough of it man, I love it all. Love the ones you’ve done for the other guys as well. Dragonite looks splendid!

THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO PAINT MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE POKEMON!!! I have this promo sealed and the complete in box gameboy color trading card game. So good!

Everyone should see the amazing Venusaur too. Share the love! If you EVER decided to paint the other ones in this evolution line with Erica’s bulbasaur and Ivysaur I would be so grateful!

@jaredschallenge BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why did you even hesitate to show us this? In fact, it would have been a crime had you not! How dare you if that would have been!?

Dude the Venusaur is soooooo good. SO GOOD.

@jonandek - Thank you once again :blush::pray:t3:
I’d love doing a Rayquaza gold star! It’s such a beautiful dark style. Will send you a message soon.

@nickofturl - Thank you! That will be quite the challenge :grin: I’ll have to figure out how to really express that

@brendantheclayboy - Haha gotta paint them all :wink: Would love that, thank you so much!

@jaredschallenge - My pleasure! That’s such a beautiful promo, and I grew up on the GB color games! :star_struck:

Thank you so much everyone :pray:t3:
Will hopefully post another one today - this time a slightly newer gen specie that I absolutely love, and plan on collecting individually :wink::wink:

I second that! Never would’ve thought that my favorite Pokemon artwork could be improved and be made even more dynamic! Great stuff, Liron!

@muk - Thank you so much! :grin:

Here’s a good opportunity to share an example of, in my opinion, an incomplete / less successful attempt.

Quick background - one of my newer favorite pokemon is actually Milotic! I love everything about it (and also Feebas! :joy:)
I guess I have a strong bias towards dragon pokemon.

So here’s an initial attempt at Milotic. The challenge was that I wanted to invent the pose fully, and ended up with a lack of clarity in the concept.
It’s supposed to be doing some kind of a tail slam, but it’s not clear enough and the silver “shine” doesn’t read well.

I plan on doing another iteration in the near future, or simply go with basing it on an existing artwork more closely.
Invention IS a big challenge!

And as a bonus, here are some of the Dragonite stages, to show you more of what my process looks like.

I hope you like these two! :blush::pray:t3:

Hi all, finally got another one for you :grin:
Painted Articuno based on the beautiful 1997 Carddass set art :star_struck:

It’s been a very fun process.
Wanted to also share with you the stage of drawing and figuring the shapes out.

I hope you like seeing it too :blush::pray:t3:
More updates on the way, as always!

Liron has me hooked on trying watercolors… that combined with Ken Sugimori has me swirling. This is my third one now. Maybe Liron will upgrade it for us!

@jaredschallenge you did great on that man. I love it. Now don’t hijack Liron’s thread again or I will assault you!

Hahaha Kidding man, I love it. Please keep showing more. @liron’s gotta see this.

I have always been more of a drawing illustrator but he too has made me dig out my watercolor case out of the closet and bust out the set. Maybe I’ll show one of mine here too. With Liron’s blessing of course :grin:
