A Game-Art-HQ Community Pokedex?

Hello everyone!

I was thinking about a Pokemon related art colaboration of our community since 2012 actually. However, we started Link's Blacklist, Anniversary Tributes for Final Fantasy, MegaMan, Doom and a good couple of other collaborations and honestly, it was a bit too much for me to take care about on the website since I did that all alone. Thats more or less the reason why we are not doing any big Art Tributes right now but the Art Challenges instead.


I always wanted to do something Pokemon related however since the games are fun, the Pokemon creatures fun to draw and from the weekly submissions I know that many of you are drawing Pokemon fan art anyway.


I had a few ideas and contacted I bet many of you know his works like the one above. He is re-imagining the Pokemons and draws them like they could be Monsters in the Monster Hunter Universe.

He wrote:
"Might be neat to have a pokedex filled with pokemon interpreted into the style of other games sorta like what I did with the monster hunter versions of pokemon I've been doing. You could have all sorts of cool crossovers, like final fantasy rayquaza or gears of war genesect."

This got me to the following Game-Art-HQ Pokedex Art Project Idea:

Every Pokemon could be claimed by four artists.

1 Artist can claim to draw the Pokemon in its original look
1 Artist can claim the challenge to draw the Pokemon in a realistic look
1 Artist can claim a crossover submission like Arvalis described it. It could be a Pikachu re-imagined as a Boss in a Zelda game or as an enemy in a Mario game etc. All kinds of re-imaginings would be possible as long as they are crossing two or more different video game series.
1 artist could claim a redesign of a Pokemon. This can include to make a human form out of a Pokemon or simply to make an evil version, or a scary one.

Only a couple of Pokemons would be able to claim in a month so that only around 15-20 group members have the chance to be involved. This project could run for years while it grows slowly.



What do you think about the idea?
