I have taken a great liking to many of the fifth gens mainly due to a mix between their design and their dex entry.

Friendship over man. Friendship over. Everyone knows that first generation is the best.
OK, our friendship isn't over but 5th gen? Really?

So are those mountains in the background... or a rhino?

If it is not mountains and it is a rhino I would have many questions for Cen, besides that he likes 5th generation Pokemon.

And elephant, actually.

Let's delete this rant and instead go
Yup, fifth gens. Not all of them. I think I like somewhere around 10-20 of them for either design or background information (or for them being fire Pokemon), and I totally understand why people don't like that generation very much from both a design and a game perspective. But it won't stop me from liking Hydreigon. Or Chandelure, the little macabre chandelier.
Just as Magmar being a first gen doesn't make it look any less like someone smacked it in the face with a pan real hard. It's just a matter of taste, and some of them does deserve more than the usual "Ew, gen I don't like, booh!". Though the trash and the ice cream cone mons should kindly go die in a hellfire.

besides that he likes 5th generation Pokemon.

I have a horrible urge to draw up a few just to show you how badbutt they can be.
Instead, have some recycling:


Oh, and this, just because I found it.

(This is not at all because I have nothing to post, and won't have for a long while)

Did you draw the one that you had a link too? And is that Nidoking in the second picture?

Drew all of them, otherwise I would have written a disclaimer. Though, for the sake of fairness, the meme itself was made by the dA user AquaMizuko, with her(?) url present on the meme itself.

And it is indeed a Nidoking in the second picture. I kinda like that guy, though it was Zophia's choice to include it. But that is a longer, more boring story.

I wonder if I ought to draw up a good bunch of my favourite pokemon, but that probably wouldn't be popular.

Some stories are more interesting when you have not heard them before. But if it really is boring I don't want you wasting your time typing it.

What are you talking about? I still LOVE Pokemon. And you should draw what you want and not what you think will be popular.

Hmm, seems like a good time to - bump this.

Long story short: We were going to collab, she sent a sketch, I couldn't find a proper way of correcting it to not look like the nido was curbstomping the hydra, did new sketch, did line art, got chewed out for not using the sketch.
Wonderful times.

Well, I do enjoy drawing pokemon, but it isn't the best of choice for getting some proper art for my portfolio, and I always get a bit on edge when doing fanart, because it always seems like I am the only one enjoying myself, the same way I get on edge when uploading drawings of Cen derping around.
After all, it's not like I have people jumping at my thread every time I post something.

Anyway, to something completely different:
All you people with more money than me, and thus tablet computers: What would your recommendations be for a cheap, powerful tablet computer for artistic travel use? I can probably get used to the finger painting, if I can't get a stylus or one of the alternatives, but being without my graphic tablet is kinda... Well, paper has a way of being limited in a variety of ways that I always forget about before I end up missing an inch of the drawing I am doing, because I have run out of paper, so I wouldn't mind having some other way to get some sketches down...
So, tablet computers that aren't going to leave me eating noodles for the next fourteen years?

those drawings are amazing!!!

Nice work, very vibrant colors.

I can always count on you, Gantic. And I actually do have some art to post for once, I just don't have it have it. It's the downside to the traditional media.
Will scan when I get the chance.

Nice work, very vibrant colors.

Thanks, I think?
