I call this one “Sweet Dreams”

Proud of the hands coming through the window and the night time color scheme, displeased with the red light emanating from Gengar’s eyes, I got that part all wrong.
Marker illustration of a little boy asleep in bed at night. A gengar (ghost type pokemon) stands smiling at the window, its hands creeping in through the glass towards the boy.

I always thought Everdred was a funny character in Earthbound. Kind of a bad guy but he really cares about Paula. This is my tiniest drawing ever, business card sized!
Ink and marker illustration of Ness looking down at a fallen Everdred in confusion.

Uh oh, things aren’t looking too good for Weedle.

I’ve been cutting strathmore vellum 6x8s in half and it makes for smaller drawings that require less ink, it’s fun!
Marker illustration of a Weedle being carried by a Pidgey. They have a depressed expression on their face and are saying “well…shit.”

A tiny pokemon painting. Trubbish is ridiculous, legends ZA has so many pokemon that are just “living version of an inanimate object”. I’m sure they all came from XY and I just don’t remember but it’s just silly.

I am still really happy with how this one came out - studying Akira Toriyama’s work is so fun to do, he became an inspiration to me decades before I knew his name, since I played the first Dragon Quest at 5 years old.

Yes done poorly it sucks. But what if swamp thing said “I am in my place of power, you should not have come!” And Arcane is freaked out because Alec Holland was never this powerful before and swamp thing says “you have never encountered ME before. This is our first battle. This is our LAST battle”
A page from Alan moore’s saga of the swamp thing. Swamp thing is yelling at arcane “I am in my place of power… and you should not have come here!”

More screenshots! My brother did just about all the art, I especially love the beach area, and the poor NPC who’s stuck on the jet of water from his malfunctioning sprinkler!

#gamedev #pixelart

Also maybe there’s a hookshot-like too? Maybe those are bombable walls out on the beach? Who can say
Screenshot of a gameboy style game. A black cat is walking down the beach, a walrus is standing on the edge of a nearby pier overlooking the ocean. Screenshot of a gameboy style Zelda-like game. A black cat is using a ball of yarn to whip across a mountain chasm where the bridge has broken. Screenshot of a gameboy style Zelda like game. A black can approaches a treasure chest in a Zelda style dungeon while enemies shoot projectiles at her from all around. Screenshot of a gameboy style Zelda like game. An NPC is flailing, suspended on a jet of water from a malfunctioning hose. Will Fortuna save him, or help herself to the treasure chest behind the house?

My brother and I finished our submission for #gbjam13 just a few hours before the deadline! “Fortuna and the Broken Mirror” is a top down Zelda-like where you play as Fortuna the black cat, on a quest to gather the 7 mirror shards and stop the white rabbit wreaking havoc with his cursed dice!
Title screen for “Fortuna and the Broken Mirror”, a gameboy style adventure game created for GameBoy Jam 13 Screenshot of a gameboy style game - fortuna the black cat confronts the final boss, a greedy white rabbit armed with magic dice.

Congrats and thanks for the #artshare!

I’m Loren, I’m just making art for fun, I like ink and watercolor and markers, and I love heroes who look like monsters.
Watercolor sketch of Vivi from Final Fantasy 9, happily walking through a grassy field, reaching up to touch a butterfly. Ink and watercolor study of an illustration by Akira Toriyama, of kid goku riding in the mouth of a large blue dragon. Two panel comic page ink black and color inks of Vivi and Hellboy. Vivi’s panel is blue, he’s looking intently and sadly at a butterfly that’s landed on his finger. Hellboy’s panel is red, he’s looking at an orange tree (a reference to hellboy in Hell). The captions read “I know I look like the monsters… but I didn’t get a say in that.” An ink and marker illustration of Totoro from the Ghibil film My Neighbor Totoro. He’s seated on a tree at night with two smaller forest spirits and an umbrella, they are playing instruments.

I don’t believe in the power of manifestation but maybe just maybe. Everyone - focus your mind on the desired outcome. We can make it happen!

I’m so glad you asked. I got lost in a cave in Dragon Warrior 1 on the NES and ran out of torches and ran into one of these guys and had nightmares for weeks. The skeletons scared me too.

Dex 77 (Again) - Galarian Ponyta!

Ponyta is cool and all but this is one of the biggest upgrades in the franchise, honestly. This little cotton candy unicorn is the bees knees!

Daily Dex 74 (Again!) - Alolan Geodude!

So it was hard fitting regional variants all on one page and it felt like short changing them, so this time around I’m giving them their own page and counting it as a day.

Alolan Geodude is cool as hell and looks a little like Eugene Levy.

I bought a discounted set of those new ish Copic paint markers, it was really fun working with a limited palette and I love how the bright outlines cam out on this one! The plastic nibs take some getting used to but I really like these pens.

Daily Dex 78 - Rapidash! This is once again based off a fanart I found on Pinterest, and I can’t for the life of me find the original artist. I tried reverse image search and everything - if anyone knows who drew the original I’d love to credit and follow them.
