Oh hi, it appears I haven't visited this forum since 2006. Guess I might as well reintroduce myself. I'm Hlavco, and I mostly draw pokemon and cartoons and silly things like that. I was a little intimidated to start a thread here, since this forum seems to be more directed towards serious artists, but hey, it's late and I'm not thinking straight, so I'll show you my pokemans.

...man, I feel like I always post way too many pictures to these art thread things. Any pokemon with more than one picture is in reverse chronological order, so #1 is the newest. As you can see I mostly work with vectors, but sometimes experiment with the tablet. I haven't really gotten that style down too well, though.

Here's a few things that aren't pokemon... first is a character that was originally supposed to be a weasel, but after years of developing the appearance doesn't really look like much of anything anymore.

And in some more experimenting, here is something of an animated version of the second one:

Here's a vectorized Minidisk player:

My other favorite thing to draw is cars, but I never really tend to computerize them, so you'll have to settle for an assortment of doodles, mixed in with my other usual stuff including attempts at drawing characters with visible mouths:

I guess that's a pretty good summary of what I do and what I have done since I last posted in the Vector Thread in 2006. Even though some of these pictures are a couple years old, I'm still open to feedback and criticism. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the name of my site isn't supposed to be a reference to this one, it was just originally supposed to be about the old N64 game, Penny Racers.

    Embedding the images into your post so we don't have to follow the links will make this post go down a whole lot easier.

    Sorry, I wasn't sure if that was a good idea since a lot of the images are pretty big. But if that's what works for you I'll edit it.

    well the vectors are executed well. Not much more to say than that since the designs arent yours.

    in the page of pencils where you are drawing different expressions, you can try pushing the body language more.

    Good idea. Drawing with vectors tends to make my stuff have a certain stiffness to it, but I've never really heard the same thing about my pencil drawings. I should try working on some different poses.

    you will find the stiffness will go away a bit when you stop using the preset shape tools
    i can see where you've used the illustrator oval, because those areas feel too static, and not organic enough

    you need to just draw the circles yourself, they won't be perfect, but that'll make them far more believable.
