PokéMONSTERS

**RedRyder** · 08-10-2013, 12:55 AM

Howdy folks! It's been a while since I've posted art here. I've got a TON of new stuff, but I'll be sharing a series I've been working on. The basis of the series is to paint pokemon to actually look like monsters. I make my own realistic take on them, with a concept art flavor. I don't take requests for these, I really don't decide which pokemon I'm doing until I open a new canvas. Well anyways, here they are. Ken Sugimori's design, followed by my own:

Tyranitar (Gen 2)

Rapidash (Gen 1)

Entei (Gen 2)

Haxorus (Gen 5)

Tentacruel (Gen 1)

Sharpedo (Gen 3)

(Made this one the other day for shark week!)

Omastar (Gen 1)

Unrelated to the series, but still a pokemon piece, is a piece I entered (I won) in a contest by Itsbirdy (from YouTube and instagram) where you had to color in his line art. Of course, I wouldn't be content with just doing that, so I turned it into my own piece and used his lineart as a character placement guide. It's alice in wonderland mixed with pokemon. Here's my winning entry:

That's it for now! Check out my instagram @gndillustration for all my art. I update almost daily.

Hehe, good to see you posting on the forums again buddy.

Your artwork only seems to be improving over time. I always was amazed by the quality but you seem to have kicked it up a notch during your absence.

Mindblowing drawings!

Red, you never cease to amaze us. I've been a pokemon fan ever since I layed my hands on a Gameboy, and I absolutely love this!

Still surprise these forums each time Max.

If you're looking to make more, I'd definitely want to see Suicune and Absol.
