Day 109: James DolphinAngelis

Day 109:

This is my friend James… Except you know, if he were a horrifying freshwater dolphin man.

Day 108: A High Functioning Sociopath

Day 108:

Been working on this over the last couple of days during my lunch breaks at work. My favorite moment in this season (S3) was when he says this during his speech at the wedding in the second episode. It never fails to amuse me.

Day 107: Sleep Paralysis Watcher

Day 107:

Fun fact about me: I get relatively frequent sleep paralysis. Every time my mind sees something watching me while it happens, and up until now I’ve just been forgetting about them. 

Wellll, I think from now on I’m going to make it a point to sketch them out. Maybe that’ll help make the SP less frequent? I dunno.

 But yeah, this is what I saw sometime last week when it happened. Ugh.

Day 106: Testing out a pencil brush

Day 106:

 Quick sketch to try out a new pencil brush I found on Animation Tidbits’s blog ( http://animationtidbits.tumblr.com/post/74287603926/kyletwebster-the-most-realistic-pencil ) It’s a pretty good tool, but I think I should warn you all: It’s a mixer brush, not a standard Photoshop Brush. So it’s a lot more taxing on your computer hardware. I couldn’t get the brush to be very big at all without it lagging pretty badly, which I can’t stand. So unless you have a pretty powerful machine or only work small-scale (this sketch was drawn at 18x24, and I usually work much larger) you might want to think twice about it. 

That said, it’s a really great sketching tool and I’d say definitely worth the $1 I paid for it. Can’t wait to try it out on my rig at home.

Day 105: Pokeddexy Day 8- Noivern

Day 105: 

Pokeddexy challenge day 8: Favorite flying type. 

I think Noivern is super cool. I wanted to do him in an action pose emitting a sonic wave, but then I realized that I had no idea if the sonic waves would come out of his mouth of those giant stereo-speaker looking ears of his…

Day 104: Pokeddexy Day 7- Typhlosion

Day 104: 

So, I decided that since I got so late with this I had the idea of doing something a little special. I'm going to continue doing these, but now instead of doing them digitally I'll do them traditionally as much as possible, and then at the end of the challenge I'm going to do a giveaway of all the originals and a print of the digital pieces.

What do you guys think? Would anyone be interested in that?

Entry to the contest would be simple, all you'd have to do would be respond to the final post I'd make after completing the 31st entry and then you'll be in the contest. That's it!

I'm kind of nervous about this since it'll be the first time I do something of this sort, but I'm hoping it'll be something you guys can all get excited about.

Anyways:

Pokeddexy challenge Day 7:

Favorite fire type: Typhlosion

Day 103: HamHulk

Day 103:

Yesterday at work I was asked to design some Hulk doggy chew toys. For some reason this was the only thing I could think of the entire time and I couldn’t get much done until I finally bit the bullet and sketched it…

Day 102: Pitbull Secret Santa gift

Day 102:

 Sorry I've fallen so behind on the Pokeddexy challenge. I'm gonna keep doing it, no worries. I've just had a lot on my plate recently is all! 

The art department of my job is doing a secret santa art trade thing. Unfortunately, I only started recently so I don't know my co-workers incredibly well yet, and all I really know about the girl I got was that she really likes and has a pitbull... Sooo... This is what I'm giving her. I hope she likes it. Wish me luck! Expect Pokeddexy updates soon!

Day 101: Pokeddexy Day 6- Blaziken

Day 101:

I, uhhh, seem to have fallen a bit behind with these. No worries though. I'll catch up. Eventually...

Pokeddexy Challenge day 6: Favorite fighting type.

I chose Blaziken. Something about a 6'2'' fighting fire chicken is just really cool to me for some reason. 

Day 100: Pokeddexy Day 5- Togekiss

Day 100:

Pokeddexy Challenge day 5: Favorite fairy type.

I'm not a huge fan of most of the fairies, but I've ALWAYS loved Togekiss. I remember I used him in the first mini-tourney I ever participated in and he wiped the floor with a good number of players with the combination of thunder wave, air slash and the ability serene grace. They were all pretty mad. That was a great day.

Oh, and as an added bonus I added a sketch of sort of what I was hoping spritzee would evolve into (Or something along these lines anyway).

I was really hoping he would turn into some sort of cool plague doctor Pokemon. But instead it turned out it turns into... Aromatisse... Eugh..

Day 99: Pokeddexy Day 4 Ampharos

Day 99:

Wellp. Looks like I'm late with my submission once again. This whole 9-6 thing really makes time management hard. Oh well, I'm enjoying my job so I really can't complain.

Pokeddexy Challenge Day 4: Favorite Electric Pokemon.

I chose Ampharos. Ampharos really was one of those pokemon that was love at first sight for me. I don't know why, but I find this dude so charming, even if I really have no idea what the heck he's supposed to be. I always sort of assumed he was some sort of jeweled dinosaur.

The first time I played Gold I also had the little story in my head that it was the dream of my Ampharos to become one of the night's stars. I always he imagined he lived a very sad existence, always smiling so no one would know. I really don't know why I thought I had a depressed Ampharos when I was 10, I just did okay?

Anyways, that was the inspiration for today's entry.

Day 98: Pokeddexy Day 3 Hydreigon

Day 98: 

Okay, now lets pretend I posted THIS one yesterday! 

Day 3 of the Pokeddexy challenge: Favorite Dragon Pokemon. 

I chose Hydreigon. I loved this dude from the second I saw him. The only thing that kinda bothers me about him is his weird nerve-ending feet. Oh well. I drew him casting draco meteor because why not. c: 

Also, sorry I keep doing these in this sort of scratch-boardy style. I just missed doing this kinda work and I haven't in a while. (Also, I only have a few hours a day to myself after work, so I usually just go with the first idea I have for the final look.) I promise I'll vary it up from time to time.

Day 97: Pokeddexy Day 2 Honchkrow

Day 97:

Ugh, I fell asleep after getting home from work the other night so I didn't get time to finish this. I wish I could have restarted it, but I don't want to get behind and I still need to draw my entry for day 3 of the pokemon challenge before the night's over. But yeah. Lets just pretend I submitted this on the 2nd.

Anyways:

Day 2 of the Pokeddexy challenge: Favorite Dark type.

My entry was Honchkrow.

Day 96: Pokeddexy 1 Heracross

Day 96:

I've decided to do the December Pokemon challenge thing that's going around tumblr for fun and to get out of the drawing rut I've been in for the last week. Also, my girlfriend gave me Pokemon Y for my Birthday and it's probably the best Pokemon game I've played in a long time.

Anyways, my first submission is a bit late but here we go:

Day 1- Favorite Bug type.

Mine is Heracross.

Day 95: A Forest Friend

Day 95:
This is going to be my banner at CTNX this year! Hope you guys like it!
