[Cinderace, Lucario] #Pokemon -

It's been a long day.


(That's supposed to be a flying taxi, I'm just no good with backgrounds.)  


Thoughts:

I wish we had a better look at the interior of the flying taxi, this was really hard to draw without that (and in general, as I'm bad with backgrounds).

[ Cinderace ] #Pokemon -

Inspired by the Captain Style holowear.


(This was uh... extremely rushed. I apologize but I did not have a lot of time today.) 


Thoughts:

This one turned out rather nice. No clue why I drew the eyes different, but I did. She's holding a cutlass, but I drew it terribly.

I uh... tried to make a future/paradox Cinderace. I call it "Iron Ears", a Fire/Fighting type that uses its ears to blast fire. I think it came out pretty well.

#Pokemon #PokemonViolet #fakemon


Also thank you so much for 200 followers, the support really means a lot to me! 


Thoughts:

Ayyy, finally hit 200 followers. I really like the design, but it could use a lot of tweaks. Of which it received when I redrew it later.

[ Cinderace, Braixen ] #Pokemon -

Braixen shares some Poképuffs (they do look really good).  


Thoughts:

Ember got her design basically finalized here. She's only had a few tweaks since then.

I was asked about a paradox Typhlosion, this one is called "Iron Mount", a Fire/Poison type that you can ride the back of. It shoots toxic and flammable gas out of its arm cannons.

#Pokemon #PokemonViolet #fakemon  


Thoughts:

On my first Iron Ears post, someone in the comments asked me about a paradox version of Cyndaquil, so I did Typhlosion. I actually still like it, I think the theming is cool and unique.


Here's the sketch that I sent them in a comment (made while making pizza).

[ Meowscarada ] #Pokemon -

I can see why they didn't keep it, but it would've been pretty rad for Meowscarada to keep Floragato's yo-yo. 


Thoughts:

The pose was cooler in my head.  :|

[ Cinderace, Lopunny ] #Pokemon -

I love rabbits and rabbit Pokémon. They should make more rabbit Pokémon. 


Thoughts:

Hop (Lopunny) debut. I may change her name, but I can't think of anything better (or type-related, cause normal type). Also Diggersby got left out, haha.

Worth the time, it's cute.

[ Hatterene ] #Pokemon -

commission for @Crain_lmfao :)


(do not judge me, this is what he asked for) 


Thoughts:

Crain's my friend, but he wanted to pay me to draw him something so I can get some experience in actual paid commissions. He's also an artist, and a very good one at that.


The Mimikyu turned out really good, in my opinion.

[ Mew ] #Pokemon -

I'm trying to better plan out my drawing schedule so that I have larger projects on my days off of work (so I have time to get them done), but it's hard to wait. I want to work on them now!


Thoughts:

Just sort of a random outfit thrown onto a Mew, cause I wanted to draw a Mew. Cute :)

[ Cinderace, Wooper ] #Pokemon -

PSA: Do NOT hug Paldean Woopers, they are covered in a poisonous film! (or bring antidotes, I suppose)


Thoughts:

Thought of this at work and got SUPER excited to draw it, I thought it'd be cute and funny. I still like it.


Also, yes that is the Peter Griffin death pose in Image 2.

She is not in the mood for a snowball fight. 


Thoughts:

I remember this taking me a really long time to do. I shall use that as an excuse for anything bad about it.


Ash isn't typically aggressive, maybe she was just really enjoying the moment.


Also, the snowman is meant to be based on Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode).

WOOOOOOOOOOO!


It's insane how quickly this happened, I hit 200 only about two weeks ago (100-200 was 6 weeks, for comparison). To followers new and old, I thank you and I will continue to try my best to make your follow worth it. 


Thoughts:

Insane how fast this happened. I had posted this when I woke up, just before driving to work. I was super happy through the whole day.

[ Cinderace, Zorua ] #Pokemon -

This uh... was originally supposed to just be a Zorua using its illusion but it turned into a sort of fusion at the end there. I think it still looks cool though. 


Thoughts:

Tried a few different colouring options, but this one was the best.


Secondary colour option:

They're both sleeping on the couch... 


Thoughts:

Meant to be a sequel to the snowball fight post. Ash was angry at first and made Ingot sleep on the couch, but she realized afterwards that she couldn't stand sleeping alone (and neither could him) so she joined him.

(She is trying to imitate Cinderace, the superior rabbit Pokémon.)

I like this one.

Modified doodle I drew in the breakroom.

Things are getting harder, but drawing helps me get through it. Thank you guys for being here with me. 


Thoughts:

Sketched this in my work notebook, I ended up doing that a couple times until I started just doing my sketches digitally (which results in way better drawings at the cost of me having to sort of relearn how to do that).


Also holy shit, man. Really vertical drawings like this do not at all leand themselves well to this site format. If they were all horizontal, this would be way easier. I refuse to crop them too. Sorry that you have to scroll so much, but I do too while writing this.

:(

[ Braixen ] #Pokemon -

aaahhh fluffy tail


also no way Cinderace raid this is epic and now I have to grind for a chance to beat it (or force someone to just carry me) 


Thoughts:

Hey, you can finally see the boots again. Fun fact: Because I draw below the legs so little, only two of my Pokémon OCs have shoes designed for them. One is Ember and the second is Shiver.


Also I still think this drawing is cute. The boots actually turned out really really good, and I'm usually terrible at drawing shoes of any type.

[ Cinderace, Lucario ] #Pokemon -

They're watching a movie together... but what genre?


(I got tunnel vision and accidently used all of my time to draw only half of this, I apologize) 


Thoughts:

The second half would have been a second frame of Ash screaming in reaction to the movie (as it was meant to be a horror one) and kicking the popcorn all over Ingot.

I've been trying to figure out how to better draw the blue stuff under Cinderace's eyes, but my sketch accidently ended up a redesign. Not sure if I'll full commit, but it's something to think about. Thoughts on this? (read alt text) 


Alt-Text:

1 is the one I use now, 2 is the newer one (possible replacement). 3 is game accurate but I suck at that so I'm not doing it (it's just there for funnies). The sketches at the bottom are expression tests for 2. 


Thoughts:

And so begins when I go crazy from looking at other people's Cinderace OC designs and think "maybe mine isn't good enough...", so I try to redesign Ash. It ended up being for the best though that this happened.

Post Text:

Ack, I wish I could draw consistently... Anyway, follow up post about Cinderace, I gave them bodies and whatnot to show a better comparison (I think). The tail is also changed on v2. Feel free to provide feedback.


Don't know when I'll decide, maybe I'll do two of each drawing. 


Thoughts:

Still deciding. Both have upsides, both have downsides. I've taken the comments into consideration for this decision, but they were also fairly conflicted.

Post Text:

Alright, so both sides had valid arguments so I tried to mash both designs into one (it's mostly the hair that's different, alt text has details). I'm trying to appeal to the most people as possible, sorry if it doesn't to you. Anyway, I'm gonna try and draw an actual thing now. 


Alt-Text:

Things from design 1:

     Eye shape, more complex crown, bent ear, head shape.


Things from design 2:

     Blue things (kinda, still not good but better I suppose, can't draw them well), bent back longer hair, inner ear (could still change, idk), overlapping/coloured eyebrows, crown tip sunken in.


I suppose this still isn't final, but I doubt any other changes would be more drastic (not enough to be announced at least). She's already changed since the first artwork, just silently. I also doubt the outfit will change, I'm happy with what it is (I would add shoes, but I can't draw those very well so she's just shoeless for now, maybe some converse or whatever). If you read all this, thanks man. Hope you have a good one. 


Thoughts:

The best of both worlds, really. For me, the hair makes all the difference.

[ Cinderace, Lucario ] #Pokemon -

Ah finally, an actual drawing. Maybe this wasn't the best posing for what I was trying to do, but I thought it looked cute (I sketched it last night).


She is surprised because he doesn't usually give out hugs.


Also thanks for 400 followers! :) 


Thoughts:

Another follower milestone achieved!

Sort of redraw of my first drawing of them way back in August... how the time flies. It's insane how fast I've grown in this short time, I'm very grateful to have such kind people enjoy my art (you guys rock, hard). 


Alt-Text:

Left: August 31, 2022

Right: December 23, 2022

(It may be more of an improvement of character design rather than artstyle, looking back on art before this, but improvements to the style is definitely present.)


The comments do really mean a lot to me, even if I don't get to respond to them much anymore. I try to but I feel like just typing "thank you" on everything would seem lazy and rude, but I'm no good at personalized messages either... 


Thoughts:

I've even grown since this too, but I don't want to redo this same thing again. At least, not for a while. Since I started fully shading again though, I suppose that may be enough. Ah well, it's being put off for now.

I'm spending time with family today for Christmas so this is extremely rushed and was made in 20 minutes. She has a gift for you... but what is it?

What's inside...?



Pipebomb.

Someone gave this to Lucario... what are they implying???


Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope your day is swell and joyous and third positive adjective.

Ha, the joke is that someone is calling him ugly. It's probably Hop that got him that.

[ Cinderace ] #Pokemon - That new Holowear is lookin' rather radical, if I do say. Blue Team easily better due to Cinderace.


Thoughts:

I like it, actually. I think the back gradient is cool.


The post version is cropped at the waist, so you people at the Gallery get to see the full version. ^^

[ SCP-1471 ] #SCP -

I love drawing Pokémon, but I don't want to draw them all the time. I'll be back to that tomorrow likely, but for now take this SCP drawing.


Silly photogenic dog wants a picture with you :) 


Thoughts:

Don't judge me. Or, y'know what, do judge me. In fact, here are a couple more drawings from before this, where I was practicing Mal0's face. Deal with it.

she terastilized oooo...

now i gotta go grind for that raid, except my pokémon are all too hilariously weak for me to win one. I should get someone to trade me a scorbunny egg or something at least. 


Thoughts:

I ENDED UP ACTUALLY WINNING ONE, YAHOOOOOO!


Also, Ash originally had a different expression but I decided to change it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE WOOOOO!!!

Thank you all for the support this year!

I can't stay up because of work, but I'm gonna eat some donuts and play Pokémon

(I have no social life) 


Thoughts:

Ash is entranced by the fireworks.
