Blazenix's Codex

[Blazenix]

BANNER COMING SOON!


Hello, I'm Blazenix. I am a freelance self-taught graphic designer who ended up here for the same reason you all did, love for pokemon. This is my codex, an edgy way to say 'portfolio', with basically everything I've made on this site related to pokemon. I know from logos, banners, icons to Photoshop and spriting so below is a mix of the bunch but I am going to categorize them so it's not a mess anymore.

Feel free to make requests but know that I will do it when I feel like it.

I will be updating this thread as I go, adding new stuff every now and then hopefully.

If you would like to make a request, make sure it is pokemon related otherwise I will not do it for free.

Do NOT request me for a custom avatar if you can't use it on Pokemon Showdown! just yet, I only really do those otherwise for my friends.

Contact me on discord if need be @Blazenix#8724​

Looks good design wise, though it's getting hard to read what the actual numbers are at that size, especially the yellow on white of LC.

Looks good design wise, though it's getting hard to read what the actual numbers are at that size, especially the yellow on white of LC.

I agree, I definitely could've done a lot of things to make it look better and a few of them I was gonna but I couldn't end up finding time for them and decided that just this much should be enough :'D

Stay tuned for potential stour vs gifs and playercard designs tho :eyes:

 

[Blazenix]

I realized I hadn't done any sprites in a long while so I decided to give it a go, took a pretty difficult character in Zenitsu I'd say, it was pretty hard for me to replicant the tiny patterns and gradient on the haori for me, not quite happy with the results and I may even improve it later on sometime when I get better but this is how it is for now.

 

[Blazenix]

Did a sprite of one of my favorite my hero academia characters, if you're not caught up with the manga and don't wish to be spoiled about the looks / name of the character then don't click spoiler D:

le avatar

Pretty happy with how it turned out, I know the colors might not be 100% accurate because the currently the supposed color scheme ( which could be changed in the anime ) is quite boring so I spiced it up a little and the headset is missing but it was so tiny that it made his hair look worse so I got rid of it

 

[Blazenix]

Ooh boy this one took me 5 fucking hours to make but honestly I'm glad with the results I got, this was one of the avatars I really wanted to make because I'm a huge sekiro fan :D If you're eligible for a custom avatar and would like to use this as one, approach me and you may get it, ain't no promises tho!

 

[Blazenix]

Two more avatars! Rengoku from Demon Slayer! and 2b from Nier Automata!

Feel free to request it if you're eligible for a custom avatar and you may get it.​

This was so much harder to do than in photoshop, especially the line art being garbage, so I probably won't be doing anymore of it in illustrator but it was worth trying. I wanted to spend a bit more time on it to make it better but I've got other requests to do so this will have to do.​

[MiniArchitect]

Man, your lettering in this logo series is fantastic! I love the color gradation from dark blue-green to bright green in the Twinleaf Terrors logo, as well as the fact that the stroke around the text blends into the deep blue shadows to the Torterra illustration. The lettering for "Burners" in the Hearthome Burners logo is also super cool, and must've taken a lot of effort and fine-tuning to get looking right! The Cerulean stars logo is my other favorite among these; it's not elaborate like the Terrors and Burners lettering, but it's bold and impactful in a way that's just nice to look at.

The only one that maybe could use some tweaking is the Sootopolis Serpents logo? I just think the text could use a colored fill of some sort to differentiate it from the white of the Sootopolis City graphic behind it. Maybe choose a color from Milotic's body, or a combination of colors?

And I guess this doesn't have to do with the design of the logos themselves, but the presentation of them in eye-catching colored tiles, spread out in a grid, makes them easy to view and digest as a collection! Which is really good if, say, you ever needed to present them in a printed portfolio. And it's probably good for presentation on social media platforms too (though I wouldn't really know much about that, just speculating).
