Pokemon Manga Art Style
But anyways as much as this is about praying to arceus for a gen 4 remake i want to talk about my pokemon experience.
Pokemon manga art style. I had mixed feelings regarding the sm art style until i watched it in motion. They use the box model as you can see with the way shadows are handled. Satoshi tajiri once stated that the pocket monsters special series is closest to what he imagined the pokémon world to be. Initially he used a stiff lightly shaded style using watercolors that was very reminiscent of akira toriyama s visual style particularly that from 1989 onward.
This is the comic that most resembles the world i was trying to convey. I started playing pokemon in gen 4 played pokemon black and black 2 then paused as i tragically lost my 3ds by dropping it in a pool. But the pokémon sun and moon anime much like the nintendo 3ds titles it s based on looks set to shake up the traditional formula straight down to its art style. The manga with its high energy art style and ability to communicate movement tension and the passage of time with panel placement phonetic sound effects speed lines abstract backgrounds and more besides manages to portray a battle as an all inclusive thing and is the closest interpretation i ve seen in media to what i think of.
Nagabe s style of stark draftsmanship is key to the ethereal fairytale like atmosphere so many of their works channel and here functions excellently to enhance the inhuman nature of its subjects. On the other hand the art style began feeling stale and stiff by the time we reached gen vi. The elongated pupils remain a hallmark of pokemon s design. I also do my own pokemon drawing in my art style.
Enjoy my ash ketchum and pikachu. I recognise that the art style evolved over time but it didn t deviate too much. The original series uses its details on the clothing and faces of misty ash and brock. The new series appears to have a similar stylized appearance albeit a bit more anime like.
It was still the classic pokemon anime style for the most part. Rare pokémon drawings by famous manga artists mangaka like junji ito. On the other hand sun and moon features more playful animation. Hi all with the recent pokemon lol announcement i cant help but feel really disappointed.
