Liron's Pokemon FANART Thread

WOAH, that’s insanely cool, looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Okay! I’m absolutely positively done :grin::grin:

Got so much to work on, and I know what I’ll change in my approach next time, but this feels monumental to me.
Very pleased with the result.

@smpratte - your passion for Southern Island was definitely an inspiration for me here.

I hope you’ll like it everyone :blush::pray:t3:
Merry Christmas everyone, and a happy new year :heart::tada:
To many more works in 2022 :wink:

Fabulous job, Liron! It has been amazing seeing the thread evolve. I am a sucker for recreations, but the originals are the true potential achieved. This is your best work on the thread to date–constantly one-upping yourself. And not just because of the amount of action or number of Pokemon featured.

Your style really shines here. The colors are lifelike, yet charmingly and pleasantly saturated and elevated. The textures on the water, the distant rock, and the Mon’s are skillfully executed (nothing new there :grin: ), and striking to look at and drink in. The waves and water ripples look brilliant. The actions and detail of the Pokemon in a day in the life are thoughtful, funny, and honestly breathtakingly true to the overall spirit of Pokemon.

I’m really happy to see this one! Favorite has to be the Quagsire floating on the surface :grin:

Thank you all so so much :blush::pray:t3:
Had such a great time with this one.

My favorite spots are definitely Octillery & Lapras :joy:

I used a type of paper I’m not as accustomed to, which came with some challenges in getting smooth layers.
Next time I want to start with a layer that covers everything and “sets the tone” better.

What other types of scenes / themes would you like to see? Let me know!

Also @brendantheclayboy much much appreciated :blush::pray:t3: Thank you for the constant support!
Quagsire’s super cute haha, happy I managed to capture some truth of the pokemon spirit, that’s exactly what I was aiming at!

Merry Christmas :christmas_tree::santa::grin::gift:

Hey all! Been AGES since I posted :grin:
Got quite busy with work (as a painter though, so life is great haha).

But today I spent a little time working on another vintage piece.
Here it is!

And here’s the sketch stage, before the paint was added, if anyone’s curious.
I hope you like this one :pray::blush:

More to come, probably in the near future!

Another awesome piece! Your thread is what inspired me to make the E4 fan art thread, to give the talented people of E4 a place to share their pieces if they so choose :slightly_smiling_face:

Glad to see an update to this thread!

Staying on the vintage side, but with some twists I think! haha :wink:

My first ever Poke game was YELLOW on the Gameboy Color.
So here are some NOSTALGIC sketches I just did, specifically from the player guide.

Just like Pikachu back then, this was one heck of a chunky guide.
Had info on all the gen 1 pokemon, the map & towns etc…

I feel like the player guides always hit me in the nostalgia the most!
(For Yellow & Gold)

Hey all!
Today I had a serious motivation kick to paint an original scene :star_struck:

Felt like doing a desert theme.
Also felt like including Flygon (I’m such a simp :joy:).

Here it is!

Also, here’s some of the sketch & initial painting stages.

I hope this gives you some enjoyment :pray::blush:
Have a good one :beers:

Hey all!
Following the fantastic E4 2023 art contest, I wanted to share more of my artworks and smaller details :grin:

And by the way - THANK YOU so so much for anyone who voted for my submissions, super grateful for the support :pray:

So here’s the Original category submission: Happy Birthday Onix!

We got Lillie on the left there, enjoying seeing Onix so happy.

Here’s the @smpratte cameo up close, for those who missed it.

I modeled the whole thing after Pokemon fan clubs from the games.
And Scott’s that nice boomer fellow with the fedora and cane :joy:

We also have “Scott’s Blastoise” :wink:

Pawniard cutting the cake
Cookies for those who believe cake is overrated (I tend to agree - cookies are better)

We also have a bug catcher & her Metapod (shoutout to @Will who appreciated that one).

And lastly, a nice Onix cake - I bet it was hard to bake & sculpt.
Luckily I’m just the artist :stuck_out_tongue:

Then, some old and new - Fuecoco, Totodile & Bonsly tooting!

And lastly , Munchlax back there, enjoying a good nap.

Now for the Recreation category - Pokegangs!

I took what I believe is Himeno’s artwork from the Silver Bible, page 179.

This was painted fully traditionally with watercolors and some pens.
I don’t have any pics of different stages this time, but here’s the original artwork.

I simply changed the Onix & Psyduck to be shiny!

My initial plan was to change them all into shinies…
But If you know, pretty much all the shinies here end up green :joy:

So this initial plan became ridiculous, and I had to narrow it down to only two or so.
And this is what I ended up with.

Hope you enjoyed these, and thank you to everyone who participated, voted & made this such a special event!! :heart:

Hey all, today I have a quick fun sketch from the Pokemon Adventures manga!
After Hidenori Kusaka.

Really felt like doing an accurate, careful sketch.

Also, I have way, WAY too many paintings here :joy:

If there’s anything you like let me know, I’ll probably sell some for great prices.
(There’s MORE I didn’t take photos of)

Ruth is also chilling here :dog:
