the rear spikes of the crown do not conform to the perspective set by the front of the crown. But you could argue this was a purposeful decision by the artist to angle the crown but still represent the rear spikes. Artists especially in the pasts make decisions like that all the time. If you have to break a rule to achieve what you want to present you're free to do so. But people in a hundred years whove never pinted anything worth looking at will call you beg and recommend draw a box

The original Ken Sugimori Gen 1 Pokemon illustrations and designs were so GOATed, and thinking over it as an adult made me realize how the series has really lost touch with that genius more than my own nostalgia.
The limited GB screen space made for a need to emphasize only a few strong, prominent features emphasizing form over details, and the color pallet emphasizes values and contrast, using heavy highlights to give the simplistic figures depth without a need for heavy shadows (which would have limited the amount of "colors" a Pokemon could have on a black-and-white screen) while still reading as having a solid coloring that could easily be replicated.

It's genius in simplicity for character design that I'm blown away by and want to eventually replicate in my own work.

if I had to find something negative to say it would be that it's not really effective at communicating that the girls are allegories for the times of day. I just don't see dawn or twilight in it at all. the figures and silks are great but the landscape backgrounds are just kinda there

>>7931135
ha the title makes this 10x better

>>7928013
the problem with that stuff isn't that it's coom, it's that it's disjointed. pretty much the bodies are too realistic for the faces or the faces are too stylized for the bodies. the airbrush shading also makes it look a bit amateurish. but I mean, I do understand this stuff works for people

I think they said he's the epitome of a boring academicist artist with nothing new to offer, just perfectionism of a system that many people grew bored of at the time. also people were tired of generic gooner coded art with barely plausible pretexts/themes

A lot of the artists I love have this loose style to their work, I've been trying to add that in my own work but I genuinely don't understand how a process like this works
