Okay, that title may be a tad misleading. Welcome to my *~~ART THREAD~~* (◡‿◡✿) This is where I will post bits and pieces of art every so often. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Please keep in mind that I am not a particularly good artist, so do not expect too much from me..! I'll also be taking requests from you lot, but there are some rules we need to establish first. ´ ▽ ` )ノ THE RULES 1.) Let's keep things simple. As I said, I'm not that good of an artist (yet) so let's stick to just Pokémon for now. Maybe I'll broaden things a bit when I'm more confident. 2.) Nothing sexual, fetishy, etc. This is pretty obvious and I trust you guys enough to know you wouldn't ask anyway, but if the occasional newbie wanders in, this needs to be clear. 3.) I have the right to turn down a request, even if it adheres to the first two rules. This likely won't occur, to be honest, but we'll see.Aaaand that's that for the time being. If I've forgotten something, I'll add it later with a flex of my rule-making muscles. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ Now let's all kick back, and have a devastatingly dreadful and dreary time~! (•⊙ω⊙•)

A charizard battling a mantine in the sky. Any details of the battle are up to you.

BAM. Mantine used Protect! Charizard used Flamethrower! I hope it's okay~ Oh, and you can see the speedpaint here.

It looks amazing. You should've opened your own art thread a long time ago.
I also have a request or two, but I'll start with one: A Swampert battling an Empoleon. Swampert is using Earthquake and Empoleon is using Hydro Pump. I'll leave all the other details to you - who is winning, where the battle is taking place etc.

It looks amazing. You should've opened your own art thread a long time ago. Thanks~ But a long time ago, I was much, much worse. I also have a request or two, but I'll start with one: A Swampert battling an Empoleon. Swampert is using Earthquake and Empoleon is using Hydro Pump. I'll leave all the other details to you - who is winning, where the battle is taking place etc. BAM. Swampert used Earthquake! Empoleon avoided the attack! Empoleon used Hydro Pump! Yeah, that Swampert's about to take a nasty hit~ Speedpaint here.This one almost finished me off. ú_u Who would've guessed that Empoleon would be so hard to draw? Had to restart twice, and I'm still not entirely satisfied. :v Earthquake is a little tricky to interpret. In the end, I went for something similar to Stone Edge; jutting rocks bursting from the ground and whatnot. I do wish I could save these as PNGs...

Interesting. I really like how you did Earthquake, it's always been a somewhat difficult move to draw in a picture (at least for me). I also like how a Steel-type like Empoleon is able to jump like that to avoid the attack, but we all know how ridiculously high some Pokémon can jump in the anime, so this is perfectly believable. I think you drew both Pokémon pretty well and the colors are very nice. I have no objections to Swampert losing the battle, since I told you that it was up to you to decide who would be winning, and besides, I like Empoleon nearly as much as I like Swampert. Empoleon is probably my second favorite Water-type starter along with Feraligatr. The background is quite generic but it suits the picture and my backgrounds were usually even more generic and simple. All in all, I'm happy with it. These two requests you've done so far are certainly a good start for this thread. P.S. Are we allowed to make a second request immediately after our previous one if no one else has requested anything during the time you took drawing our first request? Should I wait for you to draw something else before requesting another picture?

Thanks for the critique~ Backgrounds are definitely something I need to work on, yup. uwu Hopefully, I'll get better as this thread goes on. P.S. Are we allowed to make a second request immediately after our previous one if no one else has requested anything during the time you took drawing our first request? Should I wait for you to draw something else before requesting another picture? It's absolutely okay to make another request. It may be done a bit more slowly, though, as I am currently preparing for college.

Okay then, here's my second request! I want you to draw Flannery fawning over her new super-awesome Mega Blaziken and the Mega Blaziken looking extremely proud and arrogant.
Alternatively, if you don't want to draw humans quite yet, here's a similar request you can do instead: Flannery's Mega Blaziken looking as awesome as possible while Jupiter (Migel's Swampert, of course) sulks in the background because (as far as we know) he didn't get a Mega Evolution in the new Gen.
If you think Mega Blaziken is too difficult to draw or you just don't like these ideas, let me know and I'll request something completely different.

Hang on. These are amazing. I am so pleasantly surprised. Brilliant work.

And suddenly I feel bad about my art again. Great work, Dotty!
If I might make a request, I'd like to see a Xatu and a Sigilyph staring intently at each other. (Because that's how psychics fight, right?)

Okay then, here's my second request! I want you to draw Flannery fawning over her new super-awesome Mega Blaziken and the Mega Blaziken looking extremely proud and arrogant. I was gonna go for the alternative suggestion, but I thought "hey, why not give it a go". Surprisingly, it turned out reasonably all right. Speedpaint here.Those with eagle-eyes and a ridiculously good memory may recognise the background as an inside wall of Lavaridge Gym. Also: Alternatively, if you don't want to draw humans quite yet, here's a similar request you can do instead: Flannery's Mega Blaziken looking as awesome as possible while Jupiter (Migel's Swampert, of course) sulks in the background because (as far as we know) he didn't get a Mega Evolution in the new Gen. "MegaSwampert will be revealed... someday..." Hang on. These are amazing. I am so pleasantly surprised. Brilliant work. Thank you very much! And suddenly I feel bad about my art again. Great work, Dotty! If I might make a request, I'd like to see a Xatu and a Sigilyph staring intently at each other. (Because that's how psychics fight, right?) Rather than wasting time feeling bad, why not practise instead? Okay, that sounds like it could be fun to work with. I'll start on it tomorrow~

Mother of God... You are brilliant. I love them both. I can see that the bonus picture is just a quick doodle, but it's so funny that I really don't care. Besides, since I only asked for one picture, you completely surprised me and exceeded my expectations by agreeing to draw both options! That is very generous of you and I appreciate it.
The first picture looks exactly how I hoped it would. Flannery looks perfect and I love how excited she is. Her Mega Blaziken also looks exactly how I wanted her to look (yes, it's a girl). Not only that, but you managed to draw Mega Blaziken perfectly. I bet it's one of those Pokémon that looks simple enough but then turns out to be a pain in the butt to draw right. I'm only assuming here, of course.
The bonus picture is just hilarious. Nuff said.
You're doing great, Dotty, keep it up. I'll request something again some day when I have the time and a good picture idea.

Okay, I know that you haven't drawn Gooman's request yet, but I just today thought of a new request idea, so I'll make my next request now. I want you to draw a Dunsparce, a Farfetch'd and Lt. Surge's Raichu. You can choose how you want to draw them - it can be a group picture, a comedic situation, a triple battle, three friends hanging out, three mortal enemies fighting to the death etc. Anything goes.

Phew. If I might make a request, I'd like to see a Xatu and a Sigilyph staring intently at each other. (Because that's how psychics fight, right?) Speedpaint here.Sorry for the wait, Gooman. As I said earlier: To be honest, this could've gone two ways. The overly-intense psycho-staring way or the calm leering way. I wasn't quite sure which you were angling for and in the end went for the former option. Hope that's all right. u_u; It was interesting, though. Psychic type attacks can be portrayed in any number of ways: invisible, lasers, auras, trippy world-twisting hallucinations, etc., so it was nice to get a go. I'm glad you liked the way yours turned out SJ! MegaBlaziken was quite tough, and I still think I messed up in a couple of places, but it worked out, I guess! I'll get onto I want you to draw a Dunsparce, a Farfetch'd and Lt. Surge's Raichu. You can choose how you want to draw them - it can be a group picture, a comedic situation, a triple battle, three friends hanging out, three mortal enemies fighting to the death etc. Anything goes. ^that next. Also, just so you guys know; I don't really like to post in this thread without having something done. This is mainly to avoid giving whoever is waiting for a request any disappointment. I do, however, still read anything posted, so please don't think I'm being rude by not responding immediately! ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Trippy. I like it. I'm glad you liked the way yours turned out SJ! MegaBlaziken was quite tough, and I still think I messed up in a couple of places, but it worked out, I guess! It certainly did. Also, just so you guys know; I don't really like to post in this thread without having something done. This is mainly to avoid giving whoever is waiting for a request any disappointment. I do, however, still read anything posted, so please don't think I'm being rude by not responding immediately! ´ ▽ ` )ノ I thought this might be the case. It's okay, I'll avoid double posting from now on and wait for you to finish whatever it is you're working on before making new requests.
