As you all know Ive been drawing pokemon in a realistic style for a long long time. Now there is a new artist who I very much admire called Arvalis [link] I love his work. Its strange, over the years Ive done my very best to learn to paint in different styles in an aim to improve, through that i've forgot my own style which, funnily enough is very much like Arvalis's work. If you check out some of my early sketches you can see this, though they are uncoloured as I wasn't as well versed with photoshop. Even though Im imitating his work here, im attempting to rediscover my own old style and fall back into love with art.
Personally, I don't see how this is like Arvalis at all. Arvalis isn't the only person to have done realistic Pokemon, nor is s/he the first. But I'm glad people are doing this !
