Hi! Figured I'd get the art forum going a little bit while I'm here ^^ Here's a drawing of Gladion I did back when he first debuted in the anime! I'm so proud of my sonI haven't drawn or written pokemon stuff in a while (persona + granblue have taken over my life), but I have been meaning to get back into it! Hoping to make some new friends here, and find more people to talk to about my extremely self-indulgent fics, haha!

Welcome to the forums; hope you enjoy your stay here! I like the red highlights you've gone with in this picture -- that's much more visually interesting than plain white, and bathing Gladion in red light does just seem kind of appropriate. Congrats also on getting his ridiculous pose and hair down, because those are both kinda hard to draw without them looking really contrived -- partly because they are really contrived, I have to say, but it's a good picture of Gladion that makes you less aware of how contrived they are. That is ... too many uses of the word "contrived" in one sentence, but you get what I mean. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Aw man, that's totally awesome! Agreed on the hair and poses. Even if I knew how to draw, I imagine those are not easy to recreate. And getting the tears down in his clothes just right, too. I also like your use of background colors here, namely because I'm pretty sure the same set of colors sit in the background when Gladion does his little battle intro animation for the fight on Mt. Lanakila. In short, it's super impressive! ^^

What a way to open up the art fourms! This is a really great piece. Gotta agree with the poses, and his glare is super edgy, just like him. I also like how you do the anime thing of showing the outline of his eye and eyebrow through his hair, which is a nice touch.

Ohhmygod, thank you all for the kind comments!! ;-; (feels like ages since i've had this kind of feedback on my art...) @ eldestoyster - Gladion's hair took me a couple of tries to get right, so I'm glad the effort paid off! ^^ (though, his official character sheet includes a note to visualize his hair as a cone going around his head, and that definitely helps a lot with drawing it!) @ Ambyssin - I did use a screencap from the fight at Mt. Lanakila as a reference for this, which is why I picked that color scheme (the red suits him much better than the team skull colors, imo) @ Phalanx - I've been showing the eye outline through hair pretty much as long as I've been drawing (unless the eye is obscured entirely). It always looks weird to me when I don't do that, haha

This picture is really well drawn. I love how you have captured the colours in such a way that everything is clear to see, especially how the hair is drawn. The background really makes the actual character image stand out, which is pleasant. In regard to the character pose, it took me a moment to recognise it, I admit, however, it is a very accurate representation in my opinion.
