The "Not Very Original" Silly Project.

[Silly]

I'm taking a cue from Layton's avatar project. I liked being responsible for making something everyday. It forced me to keep drawing and I found I not only started working much faster, but also improved some.

So my not so original project: The 151 Original Pokemon. Yeah, yeah, it's been done. But it's a subject I like and think it's something I will stick with, because I'm a stubborn ass.

One a day, for 151 days. This means I should wrap this project up on September 1st. (If I start posting tomorrow.)

I'm giving myself the freedom to try different mediums, styles, and quality. I will not, however, allow myself to cheat the system and use art that was made in the past. Cause we all know I have a lot of pokemon art already made.

To up the ante, I want requests on styles or artists to try to replicate for each day. You can make a huge list if you want, or just post an idea if it comes to you. This will force me to keep pushing myself and it keeps things interesting for my sake. Also we all have different inspirations and ideas. It's nice to get exposed to things that I'd never reference.

So if y'all don't mind. Gimme some ideas so I can get started. :)

Do some in a classic 1940's comic style! Bonus points if you can make it look like comic book pages.

Ah Silly, you beat me to the punch. I was thinking about making a thread for ideas to draw because I really want to get better as well.

Anyways, I was watching some Dexter's Lab today so I have that on the mind. Do it so it looks like it would be from Dexter's Lab.

Dreamworks had a series of animated films with a really sorta distinct look. How bout something in the style of Road to El Dorado? or summin.

I'd say try to emulate Byron's style.

[Silly]

Oooh I like the Byron idea. Thanks guys. I'm going to try to take all suggestions, if you don't see me doing them right away I may be saving it for a specific pokemon later on.

Site is back up, although missing about 75% of my other crap. But, you can see my daily pokemon there if you are ever so inclined. First day is inspired by vintage Little Golden Books.


posting ideas that were given to me/had but I don't want to forget

Byron: pointillism, south park

Fake: Hieroglyphics

Silly: Cubism, Leonardo Da Vinci

hmp: John K (ren and stimpy), Poke Man (robot)

[Treshulk]

Do a 10 or 30 second figure drawing of one! Or, do 5 10-30 second drawings of the same Pokemon on one page.

And then another one should be in the Yoshi's Island style. Here's a good background example, and some Yoshi's.

[Silly]

heehee

[HumanMeatPuppet]

Try some Ren and Stimpy! Specifically like this.

[Byron]

[Professor Layton]

Noir style.

[Silly]

okey dokey. I am about three days behind. With all the face painting, moving and accusations of meanness and abuse, I've just haven't had the time!

[Professor Layton]

WHAT! I expected you to for 151 days EXACTLY WITHOUT FAIL to make a new Pokemon pic in whatever style we told you to! I am exceptionally mad and angry and pissed!

[Silly]

I totally bullshitted some of these, but damnit. I think caterpie looks cool.

[Professor Layton]

Animated GIF.

[Silly]

Teach me how! Otherwise it will be really shitty and hosted on 4gif/gifmaker/gifsRus/gifmagichax.

If you don't have ImageReady, it can be done with this website. Simply make each step of the image in Photoshop or Illustrator or even paint, save the images, and load them in order. It's really easy, though ImageReady is far more convenient. This site has a 100 frame limit, but I wouldn't expect you to go NEARLY that many frames.
