Man i seriously miss the watercolor art, ive always loved watercolor to begin with and it just fits for pokemon especially to me
Same. Dunno why they abandoned it so early
this is now a ken sugimori art thread
>>58846977Back when Pokemon was about monster RPG, and not furry gay porn franchise
>>58846977Bunch of shitmons
>>58847849Dragonite existing proves your statement to be wrong once again
>>58846977It's cursed seeing the middle stages not being darker colored
>>58846977Bulbasaur line is so perfect, soul
>>58846977Based
>>58847116Also based
>>58847849didn't mind them as much beforebut seeing them try to control this board just justifies 4chan's hatred towards them
>>58846977Squirtle looks kinda out of place
>>58848113second-best starter after all
>>58847856The thing is that Dragonite stood out as the heckin good dragon boi but now it's just standard fare
>>58847797Even more based
>>58846977Watercolor is overrated and Sugimori is a hack who ruined the franchise by throwing Masuda under the bus.
he's even more based than i thought
>>58847797nice
>>58853547next time bait with something more believable
Oh so this is another thread to be bumped even more hmm
Watercolors were based but you can understand why Sugi changed to more plain styles when you remember that his key art was being used as assets for everything worldwide, and needed to be easy to make out in all kinds of sizes and printing scenariosEven as early as the TCG's Gym 1 set in 1998, Sugimori had new compositions coming out that used other techniques, digital ink and pencils similar to what you'd see in Gen 3 and 4.However they kept the watercolor aesthetics in Gen 2 game art likely for consistency, which I like because especially for the Pokemon, it gives the impression of a sketch artist filling out his zukan by hand.
>>58855622yeah
>>58854721Lmao
Oh so this thread will stay up even longer hmm
>>58855622right

>>58869761mega thanks anon
>>58847116Super fpbp
>>58874953lol
>>58868716>fanartLmao
>>58846977All looks like fucking garbage I can't believe how this shit became popular
>>58846977probably didn't have a sanskrit translation back then
>>58855622>Even as early as the TCG's Gym 1 set in 1998, Sugimori had new compositions coming out that used other techniques, digital ink and pencils similar to what you'd see in Gen 3 and 4.Yeah, people tend to forget this
>>58847116Hyper fpbp
>>58878619Gym heroes and challenge are the single 2 best card sets in history
>>58877384>need to keep track of 100 HP or soI thought pokeyman was supposed to be kiddy compared to magic the pozzening
>>58869761giga thanks anon
>>58866046??? why, what is it now
>>58847116Ultra fpbp
>>58853547Based Sugimori, I hope he received the Order of the Rising Sun for that
>>58883701wtf
>>58846977Why don't you learn making watercolor art yourself? That's what I've been doing
>>58880794My man that card is old enough to vote and have kids. You should see the shit that modern cards look like if you think thats complicated in any way
It’d be really cool if they brought back this style for a generation. The want is obviously there from general audiences since everyone spazzes out over “fat pikachu”.Don’t have my hopes up though, each generation since ruby/sapphire seems to get lazier and lazier
>>58885205I suppose
>>58847116Super hyper fpbp
what's the best place to browse through scans of old gen 1 - 2 sugimori art from the ganes / TCG? I know you can find some stuff on Bulbapedia but I'm talking more like promo art, not individual species artworkI'm putting PokeMMO on my portable and I want nice boxart but all the fan boxart from launchbox sucks ass so i want to make my own
>>58880794You have no idea.
>>58885205Half-based
>>58847116Mega fpbp
>>58877384this isn't attractive whatsoever
>>58884637yeah
>>58884637right
>>58880794>100 HPThat's only 10 damage markers. Surely you can count to 10.
>>58846977I don't suppose you have an archive where I can find this style of art?
>>58847803What happened to Tyranitar?
>>58847116I guess the Sharty raided this post since it's deleted.
>>58846977Someone told me he used something called copic markers.
>>58895778It's fpbp for a reason
>>58869761super thanks anon
>>58899492What?
