Nikola Tesla's Art Corner

[NikolaTesla]

Hello all.

After playing my copy of diamond for a few days I caught myself my first drifloon!

Something inspired me about this drifloon.


It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. However, it gets pulled around instead.

This got me thinking, enough drifloon and they can carry the child away.

With out further delay here is the start of my inspirada! I still need to add a background, but any and all feedback is appreciated.

[Bobreeder]

That's amazing! Great job with the picture!

[Trombones13]

That's so cool! Awesome job! I like their little eyes. I don't know what it is, but the style, I think, is what I like so much.

[Cherkat]

That screams illustration! Well done! I think that someone should write a short story about drifloon and Nikola should illustrate :D I really mean it:D The picture is very good!

[NikolaTesla]

Wow thank you everyone I was not expecting such amazingly positive feedback!

[belnumcree]

Woah. :shock: That's awesome. :D The amazing detail got me more than anything. :D

[Kay]

Aw, that's really cute. It looks like something out of a best-selling children's book :)

[Trombones13]

Aw, that's really cute. It looks like something out of a best-selling children's book :)
That is totally what I was thinking. For some reason, the boy reminded me of Christopher Robin. :D

[NikolaTesla]

Wow. now all of you have me thinking of writing a children's story based upon balloon monsters....

[Bobreeder]

*Do it, do it, do it* No pressure from anybody here, mate :)

[soccergurl22]

Wow that is really good. The detail is awesome.:-D

[Slizer107]

Thats amazing! Well done rep for you =)(if i avnt gave out to much rep today :lol:)

[pokemasterSD]

Awesome!:DThat would make a great cover for a children book!:)You have great artistic capabilities.:D

[Nak]

How cuuuuute! A very unique style! Almost like those you see in children's story books. I love it and I'd love to see more! :D What medium did you use?


EDIT: I just saw PokemasterSD's feedback. -_- My thoughts exactly! lol XD

[PokemonLover]

Nice work!!!

Thanks! I used Pen and Ink + Tria Pantone markers.

@Pokemon Lover: Thank You

[toys4life]

:shock: Wow!...I mean WOW!!! - T4L

[Nak]

Thanks! I used Pen and Ink + Tria Pantone markers.

Ink for the outline, right?

Wow, and markers? That's really impressive! The colors blend so well! I suck terribly with markers, I'm more of a color pencil person. XD And I just Googled the markers, they look sweet. :D And pricey too. >_<

[NikolaTesla]

You got it Nak, The markers essentially act as watercolor in easy to use format.

Oh, no wonder the result looks incredible! Thanks for the info on the markers! :D I might try them out for myself when I get the chance. =D *loves working with watercolor*

[belnumcree]

I'm more of a color pencil person. XD

I'm more of a finger paint kinda person. lol j/k

@ Nikola: Just curious how long did that take you?

[Nak]

I'm more of a finger paint kinda person. lol j/kHow cute. XD

[NikolaTesla]

Based upon the feedback here, I decide I will try and make a children's story based upon the balloon monster concept.

I have already started doing a bit of research amongst children's books and movies to get a feel for story telling.

Once, I get the ball rolling I may practice writing fables for pokemon farm events when i launch my farm or possibly some fan fiction. So keep your eyes open for some creative things.

[NikolaTesla]

@belnumcree About 3-4 hours

I decided to draw another pokemon variant. This depicts sunflora at night resting by a shrine near a flooding river.

[Krispy]

Wow! I love the detail and the expressions. Nicely colored as well. :)

[NikolaTesla]

Thanks Krispy! I have since touched it up though and made the foreground darker. I wonder if I made a mistake now. :\

[pokemasterSD]

Nice artwork,what did you use,watercolor paint?:)

[NikolaTesla]

Thanks Pokemaster! I used Pen and Ink + Tria Pantone markers.

[pokemasterSD]

Sweet,:Dyou have talent my friend.:)

[Nak]

OMG awesome! >_< So jealous of your mad marker skills. Lol XD It's a rather mysterious pic, very intriguing. :D

[razorbeam]

wow you have a gift man seriously, that is some excellent artwork :)

[NikolaTesla]

Thank you all very much for your accolades! I truly appreciate it.

I should also let you all know I have a degree in fine art ;)

[Nak]

Thank you all very much for your accolades! I truly appreciate it.

I should also let you all know I have a degree in fine art ;)Very nice! =D

Btw, I'm not sure if you've seen the animated movies Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, but I feel like the theme behind your current illustrations slightly resembles that of said movies. A mixture of purity, mystery, and fantasy I think. =D

[NikolaTesla]

Very nice! =D

I must be made of glass because you can see right through me. Those are some of my favorite movies! I find the world's there are incredible, so yes I guess I am heavily influenced by the mystique, and intrigue of them.

They're very unique and captivating. *loves Howl* -^_^-

A doll that became a Pokémon over its grudge from being junked. It seeks the child that disowned it.

Another addition thanks to Jhamin and Nak for their suggestions

[Nak]

OMG! >.< You've outdone yourself this time, Mr. Tesla! What a spooky yet well made drawing! You have a fan in me. :D

[Dr. Narnad]

Yeah these are awesome! They really remind me of the gritty pictures from the fairy tale books that we had when we were kids. When we were looking for books for our son before he was born, we looked for ones with this similar look.

I dislike a lot of the animation in some of the fairy tale books because if they are clean lined, it feels (at least in my head) as if your pigeon holed into thinking of this one picture in your head. If its a bit rough and gritty, it forces your mind to have to work to make sense of it a bit which stimulates the imagination much more. Plus with it being a bit rough, it feels a bit old fashioned which I love in my books and sketches.

[toys4life]

:shock:....OK seriously Tesla, you need to put these on a deviant art account so I can start buying canvas arts of some of these for my next baby's room! (Or maybe in my room/office until we have another baby :wink:)

[Cherkat]

Wow - That is one great, disturbing picture. It goes way beyond scary clown, that is malevolent doll, yikes! You really need to shop your illustrations, they are that good:D

[NikolaTesla]

Thank you all so much for your tremendously awesome reviews!

I would love to sell the drawings or prints of them but I am terrified of Nintendo's copyright. I would hate to get sued making fan art.

Here's my question what pokemon is next?

[Slizer107]

You should do one of eletric pokemon outside the beacon gym!

[N0t2f34r]

i think Ho-oh would be great. colourful and mystical

I agree with cleon ho-oh would be colourful and a really great picture(a sky scene pehaps?)

[NikolaTesla]

So per some forum members advise I have started writing a children's / graphic novel that I will illustrate.

I will say a few things about it.

1) It has a seagull with one eye in it

2) Think Alice in Wonderland, Spirited Away, Narnia, Full Metal Alchemist


I'll keep you all posted if there is interest

[toys4life]

Where do we go to pre-order the book??? :D

I'm so gonna be at the Detroit book signing event!!!

[Trombones13]

Hey, Nik, while you're in Michigan, swing over on my way in the middle of the state; I want one, too! :D
