Schmendrick

18 Jun, 2012, 6:47 pm

Thanks for the great comments everyone! Never expected one of my paintings to be on the 2nd page of top ranked paintings >.< Just to answer a few questions:
1) No, I'm not German; I'm Dutch. Close enough?
2) I'm not sure how this relates to Pokémon or Gamefreak; I just drew this from imagination.
3) I can't recall exactly how long this took me, but it can't be more than an hour or 2. There really isn't a lot of actual detail :P
4) I'll check out your page if there's something to see; There's really no need to ask in these comments.
Thanks again guys, happy painting!

Schmendrick

24 Aug, 2013, 11:20 am

@UnicornOnTheCob if your stylus goes off-target, your touchscreen probably needs some recalibrating (somewhere in the 3ds settings app). Unless it's calibrated exactly right, painting can be a pain.

Thanks again everyone for the wonderful comments! They mean a lot to me.

Candlelight

Wow, good job! I like the 3d.
