works by a blue banana

[a blue banana]

Hello! I'm a self-taught digital artist and animator with a casual interest in Pokemon. I started drawing in 2016 and animating in 2020.

Here's a sample of what I've done for the last 2 years:

Animation

My first full short, worked on for more than a year.

Palate Palette (Artist Study) - 07/11/22

This was a personal study project I did back in spring/summer 2022 where I try to emulate the style of eight different artists. Here are the two studies that I consider the best:

Based off artwork made by Crisalys.

Based off artwork made by Lysol Jones.

Pokemon-related work

Please note that all of these works are old and do not reflect my current skills as an artist and animator.

Basculegion - 09/05/21

This was made entirely based off pre-release information, so the Basculin depicted here doesn't match the features of the White-Striped form.

Regieleki - 11/22/20

Hatterene - 12/10/19

Dynamax Golurk - 11/27/19

same, im especially a fan of the animation! the energy, movement, flow, it all goes so well together and i can see how your animation's gotten smoother from the 2022 works to the 2023 ones. id say my favourite piece here is the Eye of the Lamb.

pouty - 02/22/24

This was meant to be a sketch to get used to the turnaround reference I made for this character, but I wanted to try rendering a lineart drawing since I haven't done that in a while.

Kamen Rider O's! - 04/04/24

Newgrounds link

This short was meant to be a submission for a collab themed around Kamen Rider, but it was unfortunately canned. Even so, I did have fun and learned a bit while working on this for a few weeks.

This is a character design I've had for a few months that I'm planning to use in a big personal project. She is closely related to this character design I posted a couple months back.
