Electric Spiderooby *GekkouKitsune

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Games

Galvantula is probably my favorite out of the 5th Gen Pokemon. I had wanted a Bug/Electric tarantula and I got it, lol.

I wanted something to practice using my copics on, so here it is. I would have made more original lineart (this is based on the sprite) but since it was just for practice, I didn't want to spend too much time on it.

This is pretty close to the original drawing; though the yellow is a bit more blended and the cast shadow is a bit darker; but I didn't want to waste all my grey on a shadow so I didn't bother with it much.

If I could redo anything, I'd make the arm in the forground larger, the legs in the back a bit different, and the eyes. I messed up with the eyes; I also tried to use my blender with it but got carried away so they bled a good bit; however, it looks like the eyes are glowing so that's kind of cool.
I used a dab of white acrylic paint for the eye highlights since I don't have a white gel pen yet.

Not bad for my first attempt with copics.

I got them this year for Christmas.

Don't use without permission, thanks

The colors aren't exact because I didn't want them to be. I wanted a warm grey for the body and a thorough blue for the blue parts.

Oh, and I loved using them. They're everything I could ever want. The first time I tried using the E00 I picked up from the store... It was like using a tool of gods.
You haven't experienced anything until you've experienced copics. I wish I could share the feeling with you all.
Easily one of my favorite mediums already.

Cools I really need to play black and white there the only ones I haven't played, I been playing sapphire at the moment, and I don't know when I'll think of getting it for the fact my ds has f up'd on me again sigh I spent so much money on this thing and every time I fix it something else breaks, first it was my hing then it was my power button, broke off, now its my freaken screen I have dead pixels so you see a black line across the screen

which really sucks when your playing. Now I am thinking of just selling the dang thing and move up to a 3ds I liked the ds lite for being able to play GBA games but I have two GBAsp's already. It's not a costly fix if I do it my self but it took me a all day to open my ds and then to put it back together was a pain and if I send it to somebody then I have to dish out $30 bucks so yeah sorry for the long complaint.

Wow that's terrible.

I haven't had any problems whatsoever out of my Nintendo systems, except my Wii which overheated and I had to send it in.

~supermarioshine Jan 6, 2013 Traditional Artist

I don't get it the ds lite is the only system I have problems with, all my systems are old but work fine and what were you doing with your wii to overheat? playing brawl all night? I left my wii on for over a day and it still works fine. Thats the last system you'd think would overheat lol.

*GekkouKitsune Jan 7, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Actually one of my old DS Lites began having trouble with Sleep Mode, but I sold it before it became a problem.

Nope. WiiConnect24 is what did it. It runs the CPU but nothing else, so days and days with it on with the Wii in a sort of cubby-hole area made it overheat. Plus, the internal fan of the Wii stopped working, so that really made it worse. When it overheats, the goo that holds everything together starts to loosen & leak, and it got onto the graphics part making everything look very, very grainy. It was playable, but it didn't look very good and was distracting.

I sent it to Nintendo describing my problems, since mine was still under warranty. I got it back and the graphics were back to normal, but they didn't fix the fan... Fortunately, they make external fans run by the USB ports on the back now, so I was using one of those.
But now I have a Wii U so the original Wii is in the living room.

That's the only time I've ever had to send something to Nintendo though, or get it fixed.

However, I did pop open my NES to fix the pin connectors, lol.

Dangs I only heard of that with the 360 the whole heat sinc and stuff. Well I guess its nice to have a wii u, I don't plan on getting until a new brawl comes out thats the whole reason I got the wii. The ds lite is the main ds system with problems I probably do need to get a new one.

*GekkouKitsune Jan 12, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I'm thinking that may be the problem with some PS3s too. The more advanced these things get, the warmer they run.

We probably won't get a Smash bros. for the Wii U until late next year at the earliest to be honest, and I'm fine with that.
I hardly play games these days.

I have several I've bought and haven't even touched yet.
