What's up, this is DentedBrain, you can call me Dan! A starving Digital Artist who loves video games and dabbles with some anime. Let's try this social thing, shall we?

Check out some of my work. I'll be posting stuff from my most recent project in the coming days. #art

Pikachu and Team Rocket with various other Pokémon

Nico Robin, as seen in the G8 filler arc in One Piece.

In my opinion, they fumbled the bag with the paid stuff (Mega Man aside), so I was looking forward to these updates. Crossing my fingers for Arle from Puyo Puyo.

I've enjoyed Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, but with that being understood. Nights leaked at launch, Ai Ai is predictable and Tangle and Whisper? Alright, more waiting for me for the 'and Sega' bit to fill out the roster for real.

It was strange that a bunch of games in that State of Play were using english VO, only for BlazBlue Entropy Effect X to show up and... yeah, of course not.

This is where I started to do a bit more with shadows:

Ivysaur is napping in the sun; the horizon has moved since, so Ivysaur is now partially covered by shade. Ivysaur gradually opens one eye as it awakes.

I... am so stupid. 😭
I'm seriously so glad to do full body artworks again. They're so great.

People really responded to this one on DA, the backdrop is a bit cobbled together.

Mimikyu is in a lounging position on a sofa alone. There's a TV remote and a partially eaten malasada/doughnut next to it. The room is dark, but Mimikyu is lit up by a lone light source, a television off-frame.

I really like the style and the colour scheme here!

Think I'll share some of my older works while I work on some new stuff. Where this all began, Pokémon stuff! Not exactly Legends ZA stuff, but some pieces that I'm proud of.

I love that backdrop, the clouds look so intricate!

The final 3 pieces of Sketch Time, some surprisingly heavy-hitters over on DeviantArt:

Day 11: Mimi & Nyami - Pop'n Music (2025)
Day 19: Feena - Grandia
Day 22: James Sunderland - Silent Hill 2 #SilentHill2

#fanart #art

Mimi (the rabbit on left) & Nyami (cat on the right) - Pop'n Music. These are their designs as seen in various promotional material of the latest installation of the Pop'n Music series.

Feena - Grandia. Feena has her arm outstretched behind her, reminiscent of a sprite seen as she uses a level 2 spell.

James Sunderland - Silent Hill 2. James is sitting on the floor, arm resting on his knees, looking wistfully to the side. His portable radio has been placed down alongside him.

I want to build up a network of mutual art friends. I've had precious few online, even fewer IRL.

Not to sound selfish, but it's a shame when they're there one day, gone the next without a word. Wherever they are in the world, I hope they're okay. #artist

You did a good job with the long sleeves; it's like a tiered skirt or the folds of a jabot.

Meanwhile, in the second photo, even though the windows take up a larger ratio of the composition, you can see fine reflections from elsewhere in the cabin. It's subtle enough to break up the void of nothingness, that way it doesn't feel artificial. This is perhaps something you could consider.

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 5d

See, with the first photo, the windows are absolutely not the focus, even if it its pitch outside. The leading lines of the overhead lighting draw attention towards the centre. They've also got effects and filters to soften the intensity of any deeper crushed colours.

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 5d

Would you not see any kind of lighting from signage or buildings, for example? Or (if implied to be leaving or arriving at a stop) from the platform? It's just a suggestion.

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 5d

I assume from the colour choice, it's meant to be night. Because you've got those massive blobs of blacks out of the windows. So perhaps you need some sort of cityscape far off in the distance? Just an idea.

Is there something about this piece you don't like???

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 5d

Good job so far, are you using any guides or reference materials as you draw??

Daniel DentedBrain @dentedbrain.bsky.social · 5d

Let's try this again. No, in actuality, Pepper is not from the American sports apparel line, Nike. She is from NIKKE: Goddess of Victory. #NIKKE I blame my keyboard for the typo!

Princess Robot Bubblegum with reloaded... ballistics? Thanks, Leon.

So apparently, PRB's choice of armament is a reference to Mazinger Z, a manga series by Go Nagai. More specifically, the robot, Aphrodite. So in retrospect, the Akibot 996 in 'Sgt Frog' is also influenced by Mazinger.
