Greetings, how’re you doing? Hope nice!
As soon as Pikmin 4 was announced I known that I wanted to do a fan art as soon as possible, since it’s my favourite video game series ever and Olimar himself is one of the comfort characters I share the most with. According to Pikmin 4's trailer, it seems like human presence plays a larger role in the game and I wanted to play with the idea. The cups' decorations vaguely refer to traditional rustic Romagna's stamps which are usually found in tablecloths and ceramics. I wanted to give this cupboard a general Italian feeling, probably right in Romagna. If aliens always land in America and Japan, it could plausible they visit some other places as well.
Who knows if the humans will catch Olimar, Louie and the Pikmin in their home!
The idea to set this piece was also relating also to the very moment Pikmin 4 was announced. I was visiting a place I wanted to see in years and I was so happy that two of my wishes got real in the very same day... rethinking again about that moment makes me happy again. =w=
I put almost… two months for this piece, almost shortly after I published my Shokora fan art and scrapped some other ideas for art. I had several problems and I was on the verge of quitting this drawing altogether, multiple times. However, somehow, I finished! Not only, it’s even a drawing I’m PROUD of. It’s one of the few stances I could clearly say I’m improved as an artist, especially on lighting dynamics. There are still many aspects I could still revisit, especially on the spoon and the composition, but I won't complain.
I hope you’ll like it as well and see you soon!
