WARNING! THIS POST CONTAINS POKéMON X/Y SPOILERS! Viewer discretion is advised!

So yeah Greninja. I think I have a new favourite Pokémon. I mean, it's a frog, which uses its tongue as a scarf, and its signature move is throwing water shurikens.
Kabutops used to be my favourite, but Greninja gives me a similar vibe for some reason. Plus, it doesn't have that awful 4x weakness Kabutops always had to Grass-type attacks, since it's a Water/Dark type. Which is a really cool combo! Dark is actually my fifth favourite type, so this is a very favourable combination of a typing I like, a design which looks awesome and has a good creative value, and a Pokémon which doesn't have crippling weaknesses like a lot of others I like.
So, when X/Y comes out, I think I'll be soft resetting for a Shiny Froakie, which I'll make as my main for years to come. :) By the way, if you haven't seen a Shiny Froakie yet, it's a Kermit-like green. Since Greninja's colours reverse with the darker blue being the main and the lighter blue just being used on the flaps on its head I imagine that it will look really cool. It's kind of amusing that my two favourite Pokémon both have green-coloured Shiny forms.

Anyway, enough about that. Sorry I haven't posted in here for a while, but I haven't been very motivated to draw a lot of fan-art, besides some linearts(and some of those were never ironed out anyway). But since I love Greninja so much I decided to draw a proper pic of him.

It's just a WIP for now, though. Here's the link to it

Yep, I got really lazy on some parts. >.> After fiddling with the tongue for a while and being unable to get it to look scarf-like, I just ended up pretty much copying one of the screenshots of him. Also, the bits that the eyes are sort of on, I drew too long(they're shorter on the official design... And they just make his eyes too small here, no?). And the chest, boy, the chest. I was never good at drawing those kind where the top is so much larger than the bottom and it's a cone-like thing. Just a nightmare. It's a shame, as I always liked how those looked.
Also, I just realised how badly I have to work on drawing within my space. I should have probably drawn it vertically instead, but oh well. :P I guess I'll just make it into a desktop wallpaper type thing.

Anyway, yeah, I'm really bad at drawing that body type, so I'm fairly happy with how it is so far considering that, but it needs a lot of adjustments. Probably just gonna need to make a bunch of stuff smaller.

Thanks, yep, it's quite awesome :)

Anyway, I kind of lost interest in that drawing, since I just got tired of messing around with it. I moved onto a new project:
Image
Cookie for the first person who guesses what this is themed around correctly. I'm planning to draw all of the Skylanders like this(this is just the draft, I'm going to try to complete one every other day, by doing the draft first and finish it the day after).
I'm pretty happy with how Eruptor came out- I remember one of the sprites having this look where it was looking down on you and it was shaded at the top, as if there were a light on the bottom of it. It looked awesome. I tried to recreate that with Eruptor. I had this idea before I even started drawing him, so I only had to do this one drawing for it. It was so fitting for a guy made out of lava. I'll try to avoid it when I do the other Fire characters, but I might copy it with Smolderdash, since I can't really do much with her design.

By the way... I've never played it, but I'm reaching a breaking point into "obsession" over Team Fortress 2 characters, there's just such amazing personality in that game, so don't be surprised if you see some doodles of them soon. :)

Hehe, TF2 used to be mad popular.
Still is a little bit.

It's actually pretty impressive that it's still going, considering how old it is. I wish I had known about it when it was new, would have been cool to be a part of that, but I can always hope for TF3 and play that when it comes out too. :) Joining game communities while they're just starting up is always fun.

Anyway, I finished Eruptor. The lineart is kind of uneven and a bit wobbly, and the shading isn't perfect, but I'm still proud of it. Also I apologise for the fact that this is a terrible jpg.
Image
It took more time than I expected, so I'm going to make these drawings once every THREE days now(until I get better with this kind of drawing, at least). Up next- Ignitor! He's going to prove to be a challenge.

Also, I managed to figure out which sprite I was thinking of. I don't know how I forgot this, but I did...
Image
Well, that's much lamer than I remembered it looking. :P

Edit- Iggy is complete:
Image
He took a really long time. I do like how the sword turned out though and I'm happy with the way I simplified the design. Anyway, I'm taking a break and won't draw at all tomorrow because drawing Iggy just exhausted (and slightly demotivated, I'm still not happy with him) me. Also I've been spending free time on drawing so it would be nice to have another game day again. Can't wait to do nothing 'cept play Minecraft tomorrow.

Anyway, more importantly, I'm going to use this for posting these Skylanders arts from now on, so please check there if you are interested in them.

I drew some Goodra lineart. It was just for a request, because I felt bored and let someone ask for a Pokémon to have me draw, so it's not very polished. I wasn't going to make it lineart at first, but I really like Goodra and it's not too hard to draw so I turned it into lineart anyway.

I bet you guys weren't expecting me to bump this, huh? I just hated seeing this section of the forum dead :P

Yep. :) It won't be so happy when a drop of rain falls on it and wakes it up, though

I did a little doodle on Greninja on the back of my sister's notebook. It's got a number of little errors (the shuriken has been bugging me since I noticed), but w/e
