CricketTheSpinda's Portfolio

Aaaalrighty, lemme see if I can get myself goin' here... Sorry if I do anything wrong here. ^^'

Hi there, fabulous ladies 'n gents~!​

​

Welcome to my side of the "Artists' Loft", where I'll be showing my artwork just as the rest of the artists on this part of the forums have! Here I'll mostly be showing my digital artwork-- which mostly consists of paintings, sketches, and maybe eventually animations-- or any traditional or miscellaneous projects along the way.​

​

All of the art I show here are original works, though of course Pokémon itself-- as we all should know-- belongs to Nintendo and GameFreak. I only take credit for any design changes or additions to characters from the franchise as well as any original characters that end up sneaking their way into my works. Any extra credit-- such as use of artwork or characters belonging to other artists-- I will make sure I include in the picture. All my work is either signed with my deviantART username-- SonicSketch-- or my username here. Thank ya kindly for your time and for dropping by, and while you're here, any comments or constructive criticism or advice will be greatly appreciated~! ^w^​

​

​

Without further ado, here's my recent artwork~!​

This is a reference sheet I created for my deviantART account of a few of my Pokémon fan-characters; Cricket (that's me!), Atasi, Flare, Puddle, Kelby, Jeijack, Zigzag, and Mizuko! This was the image that apparently got me invited here, too~!​

This is an image based off an RP with a friend on Skype. Yes, that Dewott is Kelby; the Oshawott in the image above evolved. The Lucario is my friend's character, Ace, drawn with her permission of course.



Hopefully more images to come~! Stay tuned~!

D'aww, gee, thank ya kindly for your comment, Wain~! ^w^

To answer your questions... For my lineart in my second picture, I'll admit that it was a doodle and I colored my lineart in a quick and somewhat sloppy way; making a new layer above everything else and just coloring what I wanted lightened with white. Though that technique works, it's only good for painting where you hide your lineart later. I recommend locking your lineart layer and coloring it in that way for most projects.
For the blur, it probably took under a minute to get it done, simply 'cause I used a filter instead of a brush. All ya have to do is go to Filter>Blur>Iris Blur in Photoshop, set up the blur the way you want it, and you're done. As long as ya have PS, it's not a tough thing to do, and it's one of my favorite filters to date.

I hope this helps!

 

(I'm not positive if I should just edit my old post with submitting new pictures or just make new posts like this one, but umm... Lemme know if I need to keep my pictures in one post, and I can move this pic back to my first post. ^^')

Here's another painting, this one made for Easter with Cricket~! It's kinda sorta late, I know, but skiing 'n things got in the way for finishing it sooner... My bad. ​

Oooh, really, a tutorial? I'll think about doing one sometime! Thanks!

 

Meeep, I've reeeeally been inactive here... I outta find a way to keep coming back here, 'cause this place is great! ;w;
In the meantime, though... Here's another pic.

Here's an image of two of my Pokémon in my HeartGold nuzlocke-- Ellis the Rattata and Lorcan the Quilava-- heavily inspired by Adam Lambert's "Better than I Know Myself". I found the song as the perfect theme for these two as a shipping, ah. ;w;​

Myyyy gosh, it's been forever since I was last here... I wasn't able to get in at one point since my username was picky, and I just managed to try again and get back in... ;w;
I didn't stop arting, though, and I guess before I try exploring again I'd post what I've finished since I was last here.

Kinda a fun little project I did on a whim inspired by the Missingno Wikipedia, where it showed that one of its forms is in the appearance of the Aerodactyl skeleton. I decided I'd so something like the poor, possessed fossil was merely terrified and escaped from its lab, hence his appearance outside of there.

Spoiler: Delilah (Sleepy Bulbasaur)

Image finished 8/4/15

Another Pokémon FC of mine, this time of my ill Bulbasaur Delilah. She's from another Pokémon RP who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in honor of my own cousin who used to have the same condition. She had some lime-light during this time, so I figured I'd draw her and experiment with a new drawing style. ;w;


So there we go! Hope you guys enjoy! ;w;
Now, I shall once again attempt exploring this place... X3

 

Awww, thanks, [member="Reborn"] and [member="shinygiratinaz"]! I'm glad you guys like what I've done! ;w;
