smogon dump 2by *Bummerdude

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Games

For the past months I've contributed with art for different
activities hosted on smogon, such as tournaments and
various hubs dedicated to respective tier. It's been a fun
practise seeing as the last time I did this sort of thing was
when I made buttons and banners for my own site, which
was well over a year ago, but since smogon has plenty other
talented artists, I could pick up a few tricks during the process.

For those who aren't familiar with smogon's tiering system,
they rank pokemon based on how often they're used among
players, which in turn is a measure of how potent they are in
battle. Typing, abilities, stats and the moves available all play
a role in how well a pokémon can perform, so those who end
up with a winning concept survive well in the higher tiers,
while those with less to show off with end up in lower tiers.
But despite their names, all tiers have a high level of activity.
It should also be mentioned that any pokémon is allowed in
the tiers above its own, but banned from the tiers below it.

Making banners instead of comic strips was a nice change in
structure too, since I for the most part can fit anything I want
in a panel, while on a banner or logo I needed to preserve
space so things don't get too large.
