Bristol (UK) based Pokémon VGC player. Interested in creative things.
2016 Pokémon videogame worlds competitor.
The Pikachu crew has curry in Birmingham after a big day going 2-6.

I'd barely done any practice before the Birmingham Pokémon videogame regional this weekend, so thought I'd take a fun team.

This is my entry to the art competition on the Sunday.

Love a fun little Squirt bottle cameo. Here's one of mine

I did this too! I like the attention to detail, things like how they built it to approximate the circuit boards inside, including the CMOS battery in the Zelda cartridge

I really like the join on the Switch game design (I mean, it's pretty obvious what it is right?). I didn't intend to have a tree and branches line up like that but it's really satisfying that it did.

I painted designs onto the Christmas presents I wrapped this year.

It's all silly and fuelled by late night eccentric tiredness 😂

Look at all the bits I got whilst in Ipswich this weekend.
Turns out every other craft market vendor and shop has hand made/3D printed Pokémon stuff - and clearly I'm a sucker for that 😅

I was in a French cafe waiting for friends, drawing Pokémon.

Have I been playing too much ZA? 😂

Pikachu and friends- watercolour pencils, ink.

November and December have been busy - this took a month to do!
Wish I'd watered the ink for the sky more before applying it, it overpowers the watercolours. Nevermind, it's all fun.

A friend found this and shared it with me recently

This is cool! I drew Giratina for Halloween

This is so cool! I painted a Mimikyu as well

It's spooky Giratina time!

For whatever reason it looks much more striking in person, but the photos still look cool.

Making good use of all my little artistic discoveries about ink, bleach, highlighters, watercolours and how they interact

Spooky forest Pokémon!

I love the watercolour trees and forest part on the left and it's good to know I can use highlighter on bleached parts.

Haven't had time to finish anything recently so here's some pyrography I did a few years ago!
Loved doing this, drawing with fire is so cool, but equally difficult to find the space to actually do it at home.
On account of the "writing with fire" part 😅

I found blue ink! This was a really quick experiment to see how blue ink and bleach interacted (featuring Megas!)

And fyi, when your art paper runs out, don't skimp on the GSM of the replacement. Especially if you paint with bleach! 😅

Lugia, ink, bleach and watercolour.

This is mostly just ink. The bleach and watercolour are just extra texture - I've included images from before as well to compare

Ho-oh, watercolour, ink, bleach.

I've been busy moving house so haven't had much time or space to do painting recently.

I've found that watercolour pencil isn't good at large areas like a sky. Still turned out okay though.

Just a happy little pyromaniac 🥰

I did this the opposite way around to normal, inking and shading before colouring and bleaching the combination. Not sure it'd always work but did here.

What if I said nothing about this picture is what I intended at the start, and that's why it's turned out so well? Art, right?

The paintress...?
I was trying a more subtle, wavery effect. The legs turned out well, but the top half was quite ink heavy. It's given me some other ideas though.

An experiment to see if I can paint ink on top of ink that's already been bleached.

Answer is yes, but it runs and I can't do lighter layers as easily.

It looks cool though. I like the moon effect.
