I would challenge you to tell me which stage I was being influenced by Disneys principles of drawings, it really did an odd number on my Pokemon works

p.s: I'm not actually that old lmao, I've just been on this darn website for a very long time



p.p.s: I seem to even after all these years still struggle to find a proper color for my Pokemon kek

Well at least I can say I've definitely experimented with my art and fanart for the last 10+ years, damnSo now that it is 2020 and that this account of mine under PokemaniacDoubleONine is almost one year old, it's nice to look back at some of the fanart I've done Pokemon related on different accounts, especially of the Pokemon I've drawn the most over the years, Eevee. It's cool to look at old drawings and sort of see the traces of what I was being influenced by in those days,It's also really funny to remember how much I've actually drawn yet never truly finished, especially because it's always been incredibly difficult for me to accept my drawings as they were, they've always felt like they've lacked something, and I don't know about you guys but when I look at a drawing I did 10 years and I still really like it today there's a small part of me that goes "damn I could have stuck with this and I would had been ok", so I guess the best choice I made was to not stop drawing because I wouldn't get the chance to feel this way, it's some pretty neat stuff.As you can see, both the trainer I designed and this Eevee (and even the Squirtle) have been around for quite a while for me, whoever, even though I've played every game since generation 1, the only time I started really going hard onto Pokemon fanart and creating a team I liked was during the release of Diamond Pearl and Platinum (even though back then I found those games not that good, and today I actually like them a lot more). Up until this point, I used to draw Pokemon in a very different way and humans weren't very present, or were usually just the trainers I chose for those different games (usually the male protagonist).So Eevee has been a very special Pokemon over the years along with Squirtle, but my Eeevee had a particular bigger impact because I named it after a dog I had when I was a kid that had recently passed away. I was at the darkest point of my life when DPP came out and losing my baby girl was a real struggle, so naming my Eevee after her ( Victoria, or Vic for short) kind of kept me going and kept me playing Pokemon as well. And another amazing thing was that it was thanks to the drawings of my little girl that I met my beautiful partner here on Deviantart and later on got to meet in person and finally become a couple, so I really gotta say thanks to this strange phenomenon during those times in my life.So this franchise has been a pretty damn big part of my life and it's hard to imagine my life without it, eventually will come the day it will end but in all honesty I'm really enjoying being a part of it and this account has been truly one of the most joyful ones I've had in years, so to all of you who have been super nice to me ever since I've started DA again, thank you, and I genuinely hope you all do your best to keep whatever artists goals or other passions going on in your livesSorry for the big text but I guess whenever I look at the date of 2020 that it still feels like a huge number and it drove me to be a bit nostalgic and sentimental hahaAnywho, what about YOU, oh one who has journeyed through this vast wall of text, any sentimental stories about pokemon you'd like to share Mhhhmmm???Cheers my doods!
