More Sugi Art 2 (UPD)

by

Decided not to clutter up the first post with 12 new images 😀  Big thanks to Sabonea Masukippa (usually working on translations for Serebii) for helping me find all these images.

<3 pokejungle

ps- Loving the art myself, thoughts?  😀  Some of the pokemon that I thought were simple designs definitely have a bit more detail in their art work (baby vulture, ant, Gear line, etc)

pps- Also added a VERY small “English Names” page with the only 3 pokemon who have been named in English: Zoroark, Reshiram, and Zekrom

ppps- Looking for a graphic designer to work with me on a new layout!

  2. Ah, Sugimori, never fails to please. I love the detail on Aianto, and the wisps of frozen air and fire coming out of Baibanira and Kuitaran.
    Did anyone else know Riguree and his evolution had eyes?? O_o

  5. Iront looks even cooler now!
    And that thing took out a bunch of my pokes in the Victory Road.
    Goruggu the American born awesomeness looks great.
    Kuitaran looks better a smidge.
    Cobalon STILL looks strange.
    Ulgamoth has a great use of color to exude fireness.
    Virizion looks the best of trio again in design but Terrakion looks better in Sugimori art as a close second.
    Nattorei looks MUCH cooler now.
    Chillachino looks more like an evo now.
    Zuruzukin looks better and I can’t believe he’ll be in the main cast instead of my Darumas CURSE YOU WRITERS!!

  13. Uhh.. just for information, bulbapedia has clearer pictures of all pokemon.. man they’re great! i want to draw with style just like sugimori…

  14. I love sugimori art. And I’ve been waiting for these for a very long time. To my dismay, they are very uncreative. The Sugimori art and the game sprites for the majority of the Pokémon are the exact same. That makes me a little bummed out. Oh well… I was hoping that I’d find a place in my heart for the snowflake, but alas, it’s still ugly and confusing.

    Also, when did we find out that Zoroarks the English name for Zoroark? I would have liked to comment on the English Name Page itself but there was no place to do so. Probably a good idea on PJ’s behalf, do to trolls that would be like, “Ew what a stupid name,” yada yada yada.

    • An english poster for the movie “Phantom Champion Zoroark” was leaked onto the internet, and Zoroark’s name was the same. There’s a possibility that the poster is fake, but probably not.

    • You’ll find that when a Pokemon is intorduced each generation, its sprites match the art very closely. The reason being that the Pokemon are just easier to associate with if their art matches the sprites. In the next generation or even the third version of this gen we may get new sprites for the new gen, which usually show them in a different pose(see Platinum sprites for examples).

    • It’s not “confirmed” but the redirect doesn’t count for nothing just because you say so. Try reshiram.com or zekrom.com
      Also, there’s that leaked poster for the 13th movie which had Zoroark. And the fact that Pokemon featured in movies tend to keep romanizations of their Japanese names. And that Zoroark makes perfect sense in English as a name.

  17. I was gonna try and help PJ out but i remembered im not too great with website designs… im only good with Photoshop and a little bit Illustrator :X i guess ill try anyways

  18. I actually don’t care for the Sugimori art this time around. I just don’t like that almost all the pictures are in the same pose as the sprites. It just makes them seem a little boring, it’s about the same as looking at the sprites….

    • doesnt it occur to anyone that it probably goes: design team —> Ken Sugimori art —> and then the sprite team uses the artwork to create the sprites! why would Ken Sugimori draw the artwork for tiny pixelated sprites? sorry, but dont blame Ken : )

  24. I think Koaruhii looks like Psyduck.

    Well, all art is covered . . . with the exception of 3: Meloetta, Kerudio, and Genesect.

    What is Purotoga’s footer translation. Does anyone here know?!

  29. AHHH, this is sooo frustrating. The starter names are revealed on Monday and it IS Monday in freakin NEW ZEALALND. They aren’t out yet because we have our days nearly the first in the world!!!! 🙁

  31. Pokejungle, do you have that toolbar available in Google chrome? I’d rather not use IE for security reasons…
    Also, when will you post the artwork, I’m dying to see if mine’s up there…

    That’s all for now.

    PS. I’d love to donate, but I’m not very good with paypal, when i get it up and running, iI’ll try to donate what i can.
