    Well, I'm sure most people have noticed the new avatar and signature I have on now, but if you wanted to see the full Emolga artwork I drew for both of them, here they are!





    I feel like I've already used the official/anime art like a thousand times over and I didn't want to use what might be someone else's fan art (sometimes it's tough to tell), so I decided heck, I'll draw the dude this time and have him doing exactly what I what him to do!

    I am CONVINCED with the way these came out, there's absolutely no reason for me to use official or anime screencap artwork anymore unless I'm just pressed for time, because these come pretty dang close enough! Best part is no one can come after you and the resolution and scale is way more than what most images on Google ring up.

    And for good reason man. These are absolutely incredible! They work out JUST the way you want them to. That's what makes the avatar and banner THAT much better. So much so, they are to your own perfection. Really well done man and congrats on becoming Emolga again! I knew you wanted to.

    The time is upon us...

    Thank you, dude! Although I know I'm on the very edge in DBR and now I'm stuck in the state of always being one loss away from being out, hey, it was a good run and I got pretty far. Win or lose, I'm ready for whatever chance throws at me.

    It's funny, I look at these and then look back at post #1 in this thread and some of the really old stuff I've done years past. So. Much. Difference. There was a time I thought I would always be scrappy at drawing and I had on and off periods of trying, not liking what I created, sometimes settling for what I thought was okay, and then stopping for a while before taking another swing at it. There were days when I had doubts about what I cranked out, quit with my tail between my legs, and just resorted to only official art for banners and such. Those days are over. When I first started drawing, I told myself "I want to get at least to the point where my pictures are as good as the anime depictions." I solidly feel after all these years, finally I've gotten there. But you know what, why stop here?

    I can attest to anyone who has doubts about their art. Find the right tools that work for you, get plenty of practice, use references to give yourself places to start, and just keep trying. It can and will come.

    It's a great way to look at it man! A lot of hard work over time can really show the difference and improvements. Much unlike myself where I've always talked myself down. With enough hard work, anything is possible. One day I'll take up the chance again for sure. Who knows how things may turn out with that.

    Even better, win or lose. You've got a SUPER AWESOME Emolga avatar and banner set to last you awhile now man! That's the best part!

    Just find something to fuel your motivation. Such as think about the benefit of being able to create and use a picture of Pikachu doing ANYTHING you wanted. But yeah, don't talk yourself down.

    And thanks, I'll definitely wear this set for a nice long while. :3
