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!

Happy New Year!

Goodbye 2008. You were a pretty cool year, so let's hope 2009 also has lots of cool things in store for us. My winter break is almost over, and soon I'll have to go back to college. Fortunately, during the winter I only have to take one class. It meets on Mondays and Tuesdays, which means I will have the rest of the week off, so I shouldn't be overloaded with work.

Anyways, let's start off the year with a trio of big sprites!

Merry Christmas/Happy Boxing Day!
I felt that I should make one last update for the year of 2008. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great Boxing Day (for those of you who celebrate it). Here's a revamp of Delibird. See you on New Year's Day!

~aragornbird | 12/25-26/08

Day 12
The last day before Christmas, and it's our very own snowman - in shiny form!

~aragornbird | 12/24/08

Day 11
Shiny Froslass. I haven't made a shiny in quite a while.

~aragornbird | 12/23/08

Day 10
At last, another sprite. This one is an ice fish!

~aragornbird | 12/22/08

Day 9
A new Pokemon drawing - Swinub!

~aragornbird | 12/21/08

Day 8
All right, for the rest of the updates, I'll be doing things related to Ice-types, to fit with the winter season. Here's a Glaceon avatar! This is my first avatar in a very long time, so enjoy. Remember, you can use it but please give credit!

~aragornbird | 12/20/08

Day 7
Third place goes to Skuntank! That's it for the poll winners. The rest will come after Christmas.

~aragornbird | 12/19/08

Day 6
Here's the second place - Wigglytuff!

~aragornbird | 12/18/08

Day 5
In my last poll, I was revamping some old Pokemon drawings and the 4 with the most votes were done first. Azumarill came in 5th place and since this is day 5's update, I thought it would be appropriate.

~aragornbird | 12/17/08

Day 4
All right, I know I'm behind a few days, but my internet's been acting up recently. I'll catch up soon though. Here's the 1st place in the current poll - Bastiodon!

~aragornbird | 12/16/08

Day 3
This is the last batch of sprites for a while. The next update will have something different.

~aragornbird | 12/15/08

Day 2
Three more sprites for today

~aragornbird | 12/14/08

The Twelve Days of Christmas!

I am so happy! All my finals are done, the semester is over, and I'm on winter break for the next three weeks! It's such a great feeling. But it's kind of sad too, knowing that this will be my last winter break EVER. Once you graduate from college, you can't take two to three weeks off for the holidays ever again.

So let's make the best of it! If it's the 13th, that means there's only 12 more days until Christmas. And for the next 12 days, I'll be giving you one new gift every day!

Today's gift features the largest sprite I've ever made - the mighty TriDragon!

The challenge was to use at least 20 Pokemon to make a fusion. Well, if you want to see what I used, click here.

See you tomorrow!

Oh God WTF?

I missed the entire month of October and now it's almost half past November! You'd think I was in a coma for the past 6 weeks, but I was just really busy. Still, that's no excuse for not updating this site. Okay, so what have we got here.

I've been working on a ton of sprites lately and there are more to come:

And remember that poll from a while ago? Well, I've finally finished all of the winners! And now I've updated with a new poll. This poll features final stage Pokemon that I still haven't drawn yet. Please take the time to pick who you want to see most. I'll try to get at least 3 done by Sunday of Thanksgiving break, maybe even 4 but don't count on that.

I must tell you that finals week is almost here and I'm going to be super busy until Thanksgiving week and then even busier for a week after that.

Finally, did I mention that TOMORROW (THE 15TH) IS MY BIRTHDAY?

Mini-Update

Not a real update, just wanted to post the rest of the Rotom Forms. The real update will take place sometime next week.
Also, don't view this site in Internet Explorer. There have been problems where the layout appeared too narrow, even though it looks fine in every other browser. So use Firefox, Opera, Safari etc. They're much better than IE anyways. I added a blue line at the top to stretch out the page in IE. It created an annoying horizontal scroll bar at the bottom, but you could easily ignore that anyways.

Also, poll is over. Congrats to our top 4 winners!

Platinum Power!

Platinum has just been released in Japan and it's basically information overload as people are still trying to absorb all the new changes and additions, as well as continuing to discover new things about the game. I've done some major updates in the Platinum page, including a list of all the move tutors and what moves they teach. And as a treat, I've added a couple of the new Rotom forms, with the other three soon to follow.

Anyways, some new sprites.

Oh by the way, have you checked out my Youtube page recently? It's got a couple of new battles, and I'll be adding more in the coming week. Please subscribe if you haven't already done so!

Countdown to College!

What's this? I'm counting down the days until I go back to college, which will happen next Monday. Over the course of this week, I'll be adding one new drawing each day. This is the only time I'm taking requests, so if you've got a Pokemon you want to see, post in the shoutbox.

Also, do you see something new under the shoutbox? Yes, it's a poll! At the end of this week, I'll be adding three new Shiny Pokemon. But what will they be? That's for you to decide using the options given.

~aragornbird | 9/1/08

9/1 - Recently added Artwork: PSYDUCK

9/2 - Recently added Artwork: BIDOOF

9/3 - Recently added Artwork: PORYGON

9/4 - Recently added Artwork: CARNIVINE

9/5-6 - Recently added Artwork: BURMY (Grass)

9/9 - Recently added Artwork: Shiny RAYQUAZA, Shiny GLACEON, Shiny LUXRAY

Sorry for the delay, but I've moved to my dorm and spent the past two days setting up. Anyways, in the poll, Rayquaza won by a landslide. Glaceon came in second, and the surprise third place came from Luxray, who edged out Salamence by only one vote. Now we have a new poll - who will get revamped? Keep in mind I'll be revamping ALL of the Pokemon on the list, but the 4 with the most votes get revamped first. As an added bonus, the 2 with the most votes also get a shiny version!
So vote for your favorite and invite your friends to do the same! I'll see you when Platinum comes out in Japan.

By the way, did you know that Arkeis.com is now TWO years old? :)

End of the Summer Update

Oh man, August is over already? Summer just blazed by. Of course, every summer seems to go by fast. I'm dedicating this post to my own summer break, because it will be the LAST summer break I'll ever have. There's no more summer breaks after you graduate from college. Unless you go to graduate school or something.

Anyways...Sprite Time!

Yay!

Also, 7 brand new drawings for you. No revamps this time around, these are completely new D/P Pokemon art.

Recently added Artwork: AMBIPOM, BIBAREL, KRICKETUNE, SHINX, WORMADAM (Grass), CHERRIM, LUMINEON
