Welcome to Arkeis.com!
Arkeis (pronounced ark-ICE) is a Pokémon site that focuses on Pokémon art and the games, as well as the many things that take place in those games. Check out Pokémon Factory, where you can find pictures of all your favorite Pokémon drawn by me. And if you're playing the games and want some helpful tips on them, head over to the Game Info section. You can also learn a lot from the Mechanics section, because there are a lot of hidden numbers in the game that have a big impact on how you play. Finally, you can learn how to better train your Pokémon and create a better team by reading the Battle Guides.
Whatever you do, have fun and enjoy the site!

Summer and Platinum

Hey everyone, this is the first update I'm writing since I've been on summer break. I'm sure most of you are also on summer break too. Well, I have a lot of things planned for the summer, so I hope you keep checking back because I'll be updating a lot more than usual. I do have a summer job coming up that will take up a lot of my time, but at least I don't have tons of work and projects.

First, a couple new sprites have been added to the Sprite gallery:


Also, I'll be putting up a section for the upcoming Platinum game during the next week. But first, I've drawn the alternate forms for both Giratina and Shaymin! The Giratina one is pretty big. It's the largest image in Pokemon Factory right now.

Finally, I'll be working on the forums which I've unfortunately neglected for the past year or so. Don't worry, I'll bring them up to shape.

Recently added Artwork:
GIRATINA (Origin Form), SHAYMIN (Sky Form)

Back to Spriting


Oh God, finals week is almost over! Only 5 more days to go until the semester is done and over with. I have a lot planned for Arkeis this summer, things that I would have done earlier but had no real time due to work and classes.

Anyways, I'm finally getting back into spriting so I have a few brand new sprites to show you:


All can be found in the main sprite page. Expect some more soon! And as usual, I've done a couple more revamps of past drawings. Gyarados and Milotic also got their shiny forms updated, so check those out in the Shiny Pokemon Art page.
Also, Clefable and Abomasnow have been added into the Pokemon Factory list. I forgot to put them in there even though I've put up their artwork months ago. Sorry about that!

GYARADOS, MILOTIC, SALAMENCE

A sandstorm is raging

Sand resistant Pokemon rule this update so I bring you 3 completely NEW drawings as well as a Tyranitar, who has been revamped (this is actually Tyranitar's second revamp. I sure am picky!). Also, I made the images clickable, so you can access it right from the front page and don't have to go all the way to Pokemon Factory just to see them.

I only have a month left of classes and that means I'm going to get a ton of final projects. I don't know how busy I'll be, but it's likely that I can only work on drawings on the weekends from now until mid-May. Still, you guys have been very patient so be sure to stick around because you'll never know when I'll be in the mood for another batch of new (or renewed) artwork. ;)

I'm Back!

So where was I for the past month? Oh that's right, I was busy for the first three weeks and it basically took me 3 days to draw (or redraw) one Pokemon because I had like no time. And just last week I had my spring break. You would think that because I was on break I'd have plenty of time to draw and make an update. But no, I forgot to bring my files home with me so I had nothing to update with. Sometimes it's hard having to use two different computers.
So I just spent the week playing Brawl instead. :)

But now I'm back from break and I really don't have much homework, so hopefully I'll get more done this week. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting yet again.

Anyways, here are some more revamps.

BUTTERFREE, BEEDRILL, CLEFABLE, BLISSEY

Revamp Time!

So I'm redoing a bunch of my old Pokemon drawings. I'm still going to finish off the D/P Pokemon, but I need to redraw my old pics so that they match the quality of my current work. Yes, I'm that picky.

February...

Wow, where did January go? I totally don't have any excuse for why I didn't make another update. Anyways, I haven't been in the Pokemon mood lately as I was preoccupied with other games. That made me feel pretty guilty about neglecting this site though, so I'm continuing some more drawings. I think I should update every time I finish a drawing or two instead of trying to do a bunch of things for one update. That means more updates, but less content per update. It's a fair trade-off I guess. Besides you're mostly here for the pictures and those I can crank out pretty quickly.

Anyways, I have TWO Creature Features instead of one this time. The first one is Umbreon, a brand new feature while the other is Vaporeon, another Eeveelution which I did before but have updated it with new info.

ABOMASNOW, CHATOT, TANGROWTH

A New Start for the New Year


Well, I'm glad it's a new month and a new year. December has been a bust in terms of updates. And while I'm still going to be busy now that I'm back in school, I actually have a working computer at least.

So the main thing I want to announce for this update is the return of Youtube Battle videos! I got my hands on a video recorder and now I can finally record and upload battles from Diamond/Pearl Wi-Fi. I've uploaded two so far and you can expect some more soon after I return home for Spring Break. If you have an account on Youtube, why don't you subscribe to my channel? ;)

Besides that, I've gotten back into Pokemon drawing after not having done any for almost a month. I would really like to finish Pokemon Factory this year. When it gets close to the end, I'll show you some other art projects I've been working on.

Next week, expect a new Creature Feature (finally!). It seems Typhlosion has been up there forever. But that's about to change. Who will this new Pokemon be? Stay tuned to find out!

Recently added Artwork: BRONZONG, DRAPION, BONSLY

I'm so Sorry!


The reason I was absent for the past three weeks was that my computer got screwed up due to a virus. So I basically lost everything and couldn't use it. Fortunately I still have the website and all the files saved on my computer at home, but I couldn't go there until Winter Break, which started Friday. Now I'm able to update the website again.

Because I couldn't use my computer, I couldn't do any new drawings. Sorry about that. I know you've all been waiting patiently. I'll make an update soon with brand new Pokemon art and brand new shinies.

In the meantime, you should visit my deviantART since I have a new drawing there.

See you soon!
