Description Hmm, I haven't done any fanart in a long time and I wasn't really planning on doing so again, now that I have my very own little Siesta Universe with a lot of original designs for me to explore. However, the time I spend on drawing has gone from literary doodling every free minute all year around to several months passing without ever touching a pen (other than to quickly scribble down notes on what groceries I need to buy). My notes used to be full of random doodles. Now they are left empty and I only draw when I set my mind upon doing so. That doesn't happen very often, since I don't feel that I miss drawing, thus, I "forget" to draw at all. On the rare occasion that I do sit down to draw, I enjoy it a lot though and wonder why on earth I'm not drawing more often.

I've been admiring the cheerful Pokémon-art of ~0okami-Rei for some time. At times when I feel gloomy I like to just click around in her gallery. Her style combined with the bright, shiny colors usually manage to cheer me up. Watching her drawings has also sparked my interest for Pokémon that lay dormant for years and made me curious about what on earth the often referred to PMD-Explorers could be. It turns out it's a group here on DA that has adopted the concept from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games and has adapted it to the possibilities offered in an art-community as well as RPG.

I've decided to give it a try and after poring over the list of Pokémon (currently over 600 and more coming ) I eventually settled for a team starting out with a Patrat [link] and Shuppet [link] . I still need to come up with a team name, as well as names for the two characters. This drawing started out as an attempt to explore Patrat's design and adapting it to my own style. The painting shows both of my team members, before one of them joins the afterlife and becomes a Shuppet.

I'm hoping that participating in the group's activities might bring me back into the habit of drawing, as well as teach me a thing or two about story telling. So, more Pokémon related art to come and hopefully more original art.

Ooh you draw Pokémons art as well? I've never have guessed that. Especially after seeing your animal plushies and those jungle pictures! I've never watched the full series but my sister was a big fan so I know the basics. And a few characters.

Haha! If you would have asked me a year ago, neither would I have.

I decided to join a Pokémon themed art group to get myself back to the habit of drawing (hoping to do more Siesta art again at some point)

It's many years since I saw the show (the first seasons) but every now and then I like to play the games and I got nostalgic. It's fun combining Pokémon with the roleplaying aspect though.

I mean there's nothing wrong with drawing Pokémon stuff, don't get me wrong!
Oh yeah, just like my sister then.

Don't worry. It's more because I had more or less sworn, that I wouldn't be drawing fanart any more as doing my own thing felt more rewarding and free. But then, when I didn't draw anything for ages and didn't miss drawing either, I figured that fanart would be better than no art at all.

I'm mostly fond of the old generations. *nostalgia* I was always sorry that every new game would bring new Pokémon but not so many of the old classics (other than through trade or end game content). I've always dreamt about them mixing old with new right from the starting area. <3 *huggles Bulbasaur*

Haha I know exactly what you mean. I prefer first generations too. Some of the recent ones have been horrible, they don't look like actual pokemons anymore to me.

demiveemon In reply to yyvonne [2013-10-17 20:10:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have the same feeling. Many of the newer Pokémon I consider ugly, or they evolve into something ugly. xD I feels like they've introduced a lot of machine types as well. No, I miss the old originals.

yyvonne In reply to demiveemon [2013-10-17 20:21:10 +0000 UTC]

For me, the old ones were much better designed and looked more cute. There were exceptions of course, but in general, those were true pokemons. Period.

demiveemon In reply to yyvonne [2013-10-17 20:34:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Venosaur wasn't exactly cute, but his evolution made perfect sence and the designes felt like they made sence considering their origin and names.

I so totally know that feeling. xD That new little mouse pokémon they introduced in X&Y reminds me of Raichu.

It's kind of cute. I still have to get used to the new style though. I don't have a 3D thingy to play any of the games on and I'm not planning on buying one for the sole purpose of playing Pokémon. xD From the pictures I've seen it's almost like looking on the anime these days. %D I would have loved that years ago, but now I want them to be a bit square and chunky.
