1998 - 2002 Art Binder - Part 2

Description

My Pokémon art binder from presumably 1998 to 2002 is the quintessential three and half inch collection of crap. This is where it all started, and like most sensible people I should've burned it all, but I didn't. Some of these horrible things still linger on the Internet (if you know where to find them) but most lay hidden away, rarely to be seen by the human eye. This book does not travel well, is extremely heavy, and after repetitive horrible quality images, most people cannot finish looking at it. I frankly cannot finish scanning it mostly since it contains hundreds of pictures. A lot of the pictures consisted of copies of known Pokémon artwork, so there is no real point in scanning them. I however did pick out about two dozen images that summarize this book perfectly. From the cluster there is both the good, the questionable, the straight up ugly, and the images with computer-generated pictures to accompany them (some of which exist on side7). Today for your viewing pleasure I have decided to showcase the lined work along with their accompanying CG images. And to close off this wonderful adventure into this particular book, it is also accompanied with some horrible character designs and other character related things, because I like tormenting myself. Each image comes with their own explanation, and my own personal sense of dread. There is nothing like really bad art to ruin someone's day, namely mine. But of course I drew most of this stuff when I was about 10 to 14 years old, so please forgive my self-depreciation, most preteens are not good artists.

So book number one down. How is everyone feeling about their art? Not so bad anymore right? (Just realized that some of the stuff can be from 2002, possibly with the odd traces from 2003 due to the loose paper going into the binder before my first portfolio was available.)

(These will be moved to the scrap folder when I'm feeling better.)

I think my favorites out of them are the Lugia and Mewtwo one and the yellow fluffy version...I'm sorry that things didn't work out and hey I think it's pretty creative what you came up with when you were that young! :D

My artwork when I was that young was way...not good. Not good at all XD. It makes my first deviations I posted which were bad enough to look ok, and that's saying something. I'm happy I have improved a little and am trying to get better ^^
