I am very ecstatic to show my work of Pokémon from deviantArt. Within the past year or so, I've gotten into coloring shiny Pokémon over line-art templates done by other people. Over time, I've improved enough to where these deviations only take a few hours to finish if they are not too complex. In the very beginning, my first Pokémon art was all done in Illustrator as I was still getting my feet wet during my Adobe Illustrator course in college. These were done using the combination of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS2. In Illustrator, I simply trace over the original lines and put these into certain layers so once I do a Color Overlay layer style in Photoshop, I can give the outlines a slightly darker color than what's on the Pokémon's body to blend in better. Occasionally, I thought of just saving my Pokémon art without any outlines because their shadows and tints would've helped define parts alone. I will post the link to just my Pokémon Art gallery, but feel free to surf through the rest of my work if you're interested. Not only have I done Pokémon but it's various college and leisure projects completed over time. I do have a wide variety of skills from Photoshop to 3D Max. http://kamoodle.deviantart.com/gallery/8251240/Pokemon-Art?offset=0
Your shading style really pops to me. It's so crisp and vibrant, really drawing attention to your work. Nice job!! Can't wait to see even more.
