My birthday was on the 12th, and one of my gifts was the amazing book DragonArt: Evolution by :iconneondragon:. She recommends drawing with a tablet, so I took advantage of the chance to ask my parents for one.

It's not a super-fancy, super-expensive Wacom; just a simple DigiPro WP5540 Pen Tablet that my uncle had and never used. It's taking a lot of getting used to so far since it's much more sensitive than my laptop's trackpad, but once I start to figure things out I'll post things I make with it (assuming that they don't look horrible)!

EDIT: FIXED. Thanks, BlazinFlizard for helping out!

SKYPE BUGS NEED TO DIIIEEEEEE. :iconfffuuuplz:

I got Skype a few months ago, and ever since I first downloaded it I've had this incredibly annoying problem. Not five minutes into a conversation, my Internet connection goes down. I KNOW that this is Skye's fault because my connection doesn't usually flicker on and off like a half-screwed lightbulb.

I've looked up answers to this online using every possible search term, and all I'm seeing is "go onto Connection > blablabla and mess with crap and it should work". NOTHING WORKS. And trust me, I've uninstalled/reinstalled Skype so many times it's just getting ridiculous.

I have tried asking on the Skype forums for help, but all I get is the same baloney that I mentioned above. NOTHING WORKS.

I've got half a mind to just uninstall this godforsaken program, but unfortunately my homeschooling system uses Skype regularly and I kinda need it if I want to get extra credit.

If any of you people are Skype experts or something, PLEASE tell me how the heck I can fix this issue. It's driving me INSANE and I'm probably going to destroy my laptop soon if I can't figure out the solution.

So, to sum it up: Skype kills my Internet, no matter what I try I can't fix it, and I'm gonna smash my computer to bits if I can't figure out how. Help?</s>

DO NOT TRUST amyCheekX. THEY ARE A SPAMBOT.

One of my deviations was recently faved by amyCheekX, but when I went to thank them for the fave on their profile, I noticed a few things that were very, very wrong: their only deviation was a journal entry claiming that they got a free iPad, and they responded to every single comment with a suspicious-looking link. According to those who clicked the link, it leads you to a website that will give your computer a virus. :stare:

Seriously, look at their favorites and comments. There are over 100 comments on their profile, and nearly all of them are "thanks for the fave" and the like. I CALL BULL.

If you're reading this, go report them. DO IT NOW.

3) tell you element I think you belong to e.g. water, fire, air etc.

4) tell you what video game/cartoon character you remind me of.

5) ask you a question, which you must answer.

6) tell you something I like about you.

That is all. I just had to share. I promise that it will not give you a virus or any of that other crap nobody likes.

I blame whoever posted that link at TeamHeartGold's Livestream today.

Also, since there's not enough room at the bottom:
Listening to: A ridiculously catchy song about pirating that has nailed itself into my brain.

Okay, I lied. That's not all. I figure I might as well mention this now so I don't forget later on.

Starting on April 14, I'll be leaving... but only for two weeks! Sure, I'll probably miss a lot of Livestreams and Nuzlocke updates, and my inbox will have exploded by the time I get back... but, well... I think it's worth it.

I'M GOING TO CHINA.

Sorry, I don't think that CAPS and bold summarize my excitement enough.

*insert seizure-inducing text here* I AM GOING HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD AND I'M GOING TO CHINAAAA.

As you've probably guessed, I'm crazy excited. Once April comes around, I'll probably be much less active here since I'll have a TON of schoolwork to make up for what I'll be missing. (If you happen to notice that I'm online at any point from 8 AM - 1 PM EST and there's no Livestream going on, please feel free spam my page and tell me to focus on schoolwork. I know I've got my online/offline status set to hidden for now, but I promise that will change. :B) I'll try to have another Join.Me session before April Fool's Day (and if I feel especially daring I might even talk), but no promises....

So yeah, I'll be gone for a couple of weeks visiting the place where I was born. 8D I'm probably not gonna have Internet while there (and if so I won't be allowed on dA), so I'll pretty much be dead to the online world. Don't worry, though; when I get back and settled in to my usual schedule, I'll post an update on how the trip went. :D I'll try to keep a journal while there so I won't get confused as to what I did and on what day, etc., etc.

tl;dr: I'm going to China for two weeks from April 14th to 21st, will be inactive at the beginning of the month, and you can expect a ridiculously long journal entry when I get back. Also, go click that link if you didn't already.

Last night, at around 10 PM, I was level grinding my Arbok on Route 28. First lucky thing: he finds a Shiny Leaf shortly after beating the crap outta a herd of Tauros. There was a giant pile of bull carnage and it was amazing. That snake is awesome.

Suddenly, a wild Hoppip appears. IT'S GREEN. IT'S A GREEN HOPPIP AND IT'S SPARKLY AND OH MY GOD THAT'S A SHINY.
Caught the little bugger in a Quick Ball to avoid killing it by mistake. It's level 20, Relaxed nature, female, and named Luna after my friend Luna-pon. :D I'm never gonna evolve it, never gonna give it up, never gonna--/brick'd

I'm now convinced that Wasserbienchen is a Psychic-type Pokemon in disguise. She says that Luna's a Hoppip (albeit purple and yellow instead of shiny and green).

Proudest Pokemon moment?<br>When my underleveled Samurott destroyed Alder's final Pokemon, a Volcarona, with one (critical hit) Surf. I'd <i>like</i> to say "when [insert Pokemon here] reached level 100", but I don't have that much patience. |D<br><br>102. Favorite character in the anime?<br>That one background person who appeared in episode #9,000. You know, the one who didn't say anything and thus didn't have the opportunity to annoy me.<br><br>103. Least Favorite character?<br>Ash, though everyone gets on my nerves....<br><br>104. Gary or Ash?<br>Gary.<br><br>105. Have you ever thought if Ash gotten to Oak's on time?<br>...what.<br><br>106. In addition to the last question, what Pokemon would you think he would've chosen?<br>Brick. It's useless, does nothing important, and can really irritate people. IT'S A MATCH MADE BY ARCEUS, PEOPLE.<br><br>107. Favorite Pokemon fan art?<br>Look at my Fanart folder. See how it's flooded with Pokemon? Clearly I am not in a position to pick ONE. :I<br><br>108. Most overrated Pokemon?<br>Pikachu<br><br>109. Most underrated Pokemon?<br>Is there a such thing?

Haven't played any, if hacks don't count |D

76. Jessie or James?
*kicks Team Rocket* Meowthplz.

77. If you were a Pokemon, who would you be?
Rayquaza. "Gah, you kids and yer meddling weather control and fancy-shmancy orbs. I've got my own TEMPLE, and I live above the clouds where nobody bothers me. Suck it."

78. If any 3 Pokemon could be real, which ones would you choose?
Eevee, Lillipup, and Girafarig. They probably wouldn't be able to destroy humanity. :I

79. Why do you love Pokemon?
Because it's Pokemon, therefore it is awesome.

80. Cutest Pokemon?
Oshawott, though Herdier is worth mentioning as a close second

81. Ugliest Pokemon?
Aside from the smelly trash bags, most of the GenIV Pokemon, nearly all the Fighting-types (whole or part), Cryogonal....

82. If you could make any non-legendary Pokemon legendary, which would it be?
Hydreigon. How this thing isn't an actual Legendary is beyond me.

83. A Pokémon that you wish had an evolution?
Dunsparce

84. Most annoying Pokemon?
...could've sworn I answered this already. :| WATCHOG

85. Have you ever caught a shiny Pokemon? If so, what Pokemon was it?
Three: first, a Paras on my FireRed ROM (although it "died" because the save file imploded upon itself and did not save correctly); second, a Hoppip on SoulSilver who I've named Luna (after Luna-pon), and most recently, the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage (if that even counts).

86. Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow?
Blue, based on color alone; I've never played any of the three |D

87. Pokémon Sapphire, Emerald or Ruby?
Emerald

88. Gold, Silver or Crystal?
Crystal, since (I think?) you can get all three Legendary beasts.

89. FireRed or LeafGreen?
FireRed

90. SoulSilver or HeartGold?
SoulSilver, though I'm biased (haven't played HG)

91. Diamond,Pearl, or Platinum?
Platinum

92. Black or White?
Black

93. Favorite Kanto starter?
Charmander

94. Favorite Johto starter?
Cyndaquil (also quite fond of Chikorita, despite its crippling weaknesses at the Gyms)

95. Favorite Hoenn starter?
Mudkip *inb4 meme*

96. Favorite Sinnoh starter?
GOTTA HATE 'EM ALL Piplup

97. Favorite Unova starter?
Oshawott

98. A movie scene that made you cry?
*flips the movies*

99. A anime scene that made you cry?
*throws bricks at the anime*

100. What names have you given your rival?
Kanto: Gary, Assbrains, Dick...
Johto: Silver, [same as above], and TROLOLOLOL (because toast)

101. Proudest Pokemon moment?
When my underleveled Samurott destroyed Alder's final Pokemon, a Volcarona, with one (critical hit) Surf. I'd like to say "when [insert Pokemon here] reached level 100", but I don't have that much patience. |D

102. Favorite character in the anime?
That one background person who appeared in episode #9,000. You know, the one who didn't say anything and thus didn't have the opportunity to annoy me.

103. Least Favorite character?
Ash, though everyone gets on my nerves....

104. Gary or Ash?
Gary.

105. Have you ever thought if Ash gotten to Oak's on time?
...what.

106. In addition to the last question, what Pokemon would you think he would've chosen?
Brick. It's useless, does nothing important, and can really irritate people. IT'S A MATCH MADE BY ARCEUS, PEOPLE.

107. Favorite Pokemon fan art?
Look at my Fanart folder. See how it's flooded with Pokemon? Clearly I am not in a position to pick ONE. :I

108. Most overrated Pokemon?
Pikachu

109. Most underrated Pokemon?
Is there a such thing? If a Pokemon's "underrated", people have noticed, thus meaning it was "rated"... wait what am I talking about

110. Who is in your dream team?
...I have no idea. |D Varies by region, and I can't pick six Pokemon among ALL THE REGIONS... wait... are dream teams limited to only six, too? :trollface:


...Wow, you actually read all that?! Here. :iconfreeinternetplz: unless you just scrolled down all the way, you dirty cheater *fishslaps*

Anyway. Two small things I wanted to note, plus a question:

1. I'm probably going to stream tomorrow at some point between 5 and 9 PM EST; no promises it'll be long, and I can't promise anything else (as far as drawing topic and whether or not I'll actually end up streaming) because LIFE. D:<

2. I always seem to come up with my best ideas when I'm unable to write them down... unless they come to me in the middle of the night, shortly after catching a shiny Hoppip.

Would you guys be interested in a small, humorous webcomic series about a stalker-Hoppip and a stalker-Hoppip-stalking Shuckle? :B

Anyway. Recently I've been thinking of starting a comic. However, despite the fact I've got a bunch of great Nuzlocke ideas and whatnot, I really don't think I have neither the motivation nor the patience required to make a decent Nuzlocke comic.

But I'm still interested in making a comic.

I was thinking of doing a series of short gag comics centering around a Hoppip, a Shuckle, and a trainer that they follow around Johto. I'm not sure if it's even going to be a Hoppip; I've just been using one in the idea sketches and whatnot because of the shiny one I found in SoulSilver (which gave me the idea in the first place).

Expect a long-as-the-Nile journal coming up soon with my account of the trip. In the mean time, I'm redrawing several sketches that I scribbled in my notebook while abroad. Maybe I'll have a join.me later or something.

I don't know. I'm tired. I didn't sleep at all last night because time zones suck. I'm just gonna clear out my inbox (which somehow went from being empty to having literally over 9,000 messages... what the heck I watch too many people/groups) and try to sleep, kthxbai.

D's Questions
1: If you could date anyone in the world, who would it be?
Nobody. I have no interest in dating.

2: If you could learn a language, any language, which would it be? (You may choose mulitple.)
Chinese (see Fact #5)

3: How are you feeling today?
Bored. Tired but unable to fall asleep.

4: If you could move [to]/visit any place in the world, where would it be?

I wouldn't even be interested in living in the Pokemon world; live among giant, sometimes fire-breathing monsters that could easily cause an apocalypse if they suddenly decided they didn't like living with people? No thank you....

7: Werewolf or vampire?
:iconfaceshovelplz: I MEAN UH... Werewolf, I suppose. I like canines.

Screw Facebook. DEVIANTART FOREVAR. (In other words, I'm not on Facebook and probably never will be.)

9: Do you care what other people think of you, do the oppinions of others affect you?
Well, to a degree; if I didn't give a crap about other peoples' opinions I'd be a pretty awful person, wouldn't I? I'd hope I'm decent.... However, if I don't like something, I'm very slow to be convinced otherwise. Peer pressure? Pffft, no. For example, I've pretty much found babies to be the most annoying things in the world and not at all cute since I was a little kid, and regardless of how much others say that babies are adorable and they're only annoying because they can't talk, I'm still pretty darned irritated. :|

10: If you lost the ability to use any technology do you believe you could suvive in a 'dark age' setting, returning to your primal roots to work and live with nature?
If I was suddenly thrown into such an era at the current time, absolutely not. I hate bugs, don't like being in the sun too long despite the fact I don't get sunburned too easily, and am a picky eater; I'd probably be miserable for a while before starving to death. I'm a pathetic individual. |D
If you're asking if I could survive assuming I'd been born into that kind of setting, though... well, I wouldn't have much of a choice, would I?

11: If Ragnarok was upon us, who would you side with? Loki, Fenris, and the rest of the gaints or Odin and the gods?
Eh... I don't know much about Norse mythology. Sorry. D|


My Questions for the poor suckas down there.
1: Would you rather be on an airplane for forty-eight hours straight or on a boat for the same amount of time? (You're not going anywhere along the way; just taking off and making a giant u-turn at some point to head back.)
2: If you had to permanently give up English for another language, which would it be?
3: If you could meet and have dinner with a person from the past, present, or future, who would it be?
4: If you were going to be trapped in a small room, alone, for twenty-four hours, and told you could bring one item small enough to fit in a regular-sized backpack, what would you take with you?
5: If you were told to design a mural on some important/famous large building (White House, for example), what would it be of?
6: If you were the leader of your country for a day, how would you use your temporary power? (Be realistic; you can't just say "no more homework" and outlaw it simple as that.)
7: If you had to eliminate one non-parasitic living thing from Earth, what would it be?
8: If you had to give up a common form of technology (i.e. television, computer, telephone, electricity) for a week, which do you think you would have the hardest time living without?
9: If you had to drink one liquid besides water for the rest of your life, what would it be?
10: If you were told you would someday be famous for one thing only, what would you want that thing to be?
11: Can you tell a lie with a straight face?

Stolen from Bonegard; I have no idea where it came from before that, if anywhere....)

Dear Luna:

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it that night outside of Chicago and I saw you carve your initials into my father. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning the couch cushions to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory. You should also know that I always will remember a new life as a clone.

Greetings to your freaky family,
~Drako

Uhh. I was messing around with the settings on GIMP (and partially the tablet itself) because the tablet wasn't working properly and it was the third time I'd restarted my computer. Now nothing is working at all even though I reset all the settings. D':

I tried re-installing the driver, removing the tablet as a used device in GIMP and reconnecting it, etc. but yeah. That's about the extent of my attempts to fix it.

Fortunately, my dad's pretty good with computers, so this should hopefully be fixed before the weekend. Just when I was working on a contest entry, too.... -le sob-

-sigh- Looks like it's back to actually being productive with my free time....

Tablet's fixed. 8'D

Turned out I was just being a moron and the pen battery was dead or something. But yeah. -cough- I can draw (digitally) again. :dummy:

I'm finishing up requests from earlier so that means I'll be taking requests again. :la: The rules here still apply, but other than that, go crazy. I need the practice. ;D

SCREW THESE RULES I AIN'T TAGGIN' NO ONE.

Five Things About Myself
1. Lightning makes me paranoid. I refuse to use any electronic device and unplug everything around me if I see any sort of flash outside. I have absolutely no excuse for this behavior. |D
2. Despite the fact I complain about it a lot, I do practice drawing human anatomy. I still fail at it.
3. I like drawing hands even though I suck at them.
4. I have a bad tendency to quote things I read on the Internet, though most of the time I have no idea who originally said it.
5. I hate these memes yet I do 'em anyway.

Questions from :iconkalithe:
1) A blue Aquadrak pads up to you and gives you a coffee.... What do you do?!
Stare for a while, then run. I don't even like coffee anyway.
2) What is your favorite om to nom on? :3
I don't "nom" on yoga chants.
3) What games to you play the most often?
PoooooOOOOOKEEYYYYMMMMMAANNNNZZZZ
4) What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Spend money. Erm... I'unno. |D
5) Who is your favorite artist?
...Can there only be ONE? D:
6) Would you survive the Zombie Apocalypse o3o? If so, how. If not, why?!?!
Absolutely not. I'd chicken out and hide until dying of starvation. Or being found. Or both.
7) Chuck Norris and Mr. T walk into a bar to fight. Who wins?
Beer, because they both get so drunk they collapse simultaneously. no seriously who is Mr. T
8) What would your OC(s) do if they saw an injured rabbit crying for help?
I have way too many OCs. To put things simply, some would eat the rabbit, others would ignore it, and one other one would try to catch it and drag it to a vet by the ears.
9) Have you ever been struck by lightning, or know someone that has? (Because I have )
No and no. Sounds awful. D:
10) How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Depends on the woodchuck and its endurance. No time frame was specified, either, so even woodchucks who can't chuck wood would eventually chuck some wood over the span of a thousand years or so (assuming it lived that long).
11) How often do you have Starbucks? :I
Never.

EDIT: ...I think some people are missing the point of this entirely, so I've updated the second rule. If this ain't in your journal already, DO EEEET. Also, at the time of editing, there's still nine spots left! ;D

~For each of the 20 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list (in no particular order).
~If you answer, do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place. The point of this isn't to get a free feature, it's to spread art love! :heart:

This... this should be interesting.

Before anyone asks:
~There are four simple rules: catch the first Grass-type Pokemon on each route (no duplicates, no Legendaries), a fainted Pokemon must be permanently boxed ASAP, and all Pokemon must have nicknames.

Mic's off since I still seem to be having issues with static, but feel free to chat and whatnot.

I was going to post it in my gallery but eh, didn't write it and whatnot. :I<br><br>"12th Birthday Celebration"<br>For deviantART's 12th birthday, the staff decided to throw a glorious surprise party for Fella. They gathered at Fella's favorite restaurant, The Fancy Naub, with presents in hand. Llama brought Fella to the door and once they stepped in, all of the staff screamed, "Mother of mew!!" Fella was so shocked that he instantly flattened. He opened his presents to find that Llama had given him 12 bananas. He was amazed! He would never forget that night.<br><br>"The Big Match"<br>Once upon a time, there was a young boy named ChereN who always dreamed of becoming the world's best drunkard. He trained every day for over 9,000 hours in order to beat his rival, The Fugly Menace. The day of the big competition arrived, and ChereN came armed with a cake and his unstoppable determination. They were pitted against each other in a battle of wits, and ChereN emerged as the insane victor! His achievement is celebrated every Livestream.<br><br>"Wise Advice"<br>My great-grandfather used to tell me, "Don't chase after stalkers because you'll only end up with a Hoppip in your eyeball."

This is a journal entry and you should read it.

I have no idea how these things work.


...and apparently dA screwed up so we got two days of it, sorta. :'D

And now for some crack generated using the DeviantART birthday thing's Mad Libs game. I was going to post it in my gallery but eh, didn't write it and whatnot. :I

"12th Birthday Celebration"
For deviantART's 12th birthday, the staff decided to throw a glorious surprise party for Fella. They gathered at Fella's favorite restaurant, The Fancy Naub, with presents in hand. Llama brought Fella to the door and once they stepped in, all of the staff screamed, "Mother of mew!!" Fella was so shocked that he instantly flattened. He opened his presents to find that Llama had given him 12 bananas. He was amazed! He would never forget that night.

"The Big Match"
Once upon a time, there was a young boy named ChereN who always dreamed of becoming the world's best drunkard. He trained every day for over 9,000 hours in order to beat his rival, The Fugly Menace. The day of the big competition arrived, and ChereN came armed with a cake and his unstoppable determination. They were pitted against each other in a battle of wits, and ChereN emerged as the insane victor! His achievement is celebrated every Livestream.

"Wise Advice"
My great-grandfather used to tell me, "Don't chase after stalkers because you'll only end up with a Hoppip in your eyeball." I never quite understood his advice until one summer, I was gardening with my best friend KAWAII-DESU-BAKA-CHAN. All of a sudden, we found an underground tunnel! It was creepy and spooky sounds came from deep within. KAWAII-DESU-BAKA-CHAN saw something interesting inside, jumped in, and I never saw her again. Great-granddaddy was right!

"Artistic Inspiration"
A young woman named Lesbianca loved making art, and practiced erasing all day long to become the very best in all her town. But one day, she was completely stumped. She looked around her room, full of art pieces featuring mystical Snuggies, sci-fi landscapes of a futuristic Wasstralia, and a portrait of Eles(bian)a that looked so real, you could start a conversation with it. But nothing inspired her. Had she really created everything there was to create? Depressed, she looked out her window, and made a wish on a nearby toast for inspiration to return to her. The next morning, she sprung out of bed, and used her skill in erasing to create the most beautiful deviation depicting books stripping anyone had ever seen. That night, she shouted out the window, "Thanks, toast!"

Life update sort of thing I guess? Does anyone actually read these? :V

Well, uh. Been gone for a few months. Long story short, allow me to flip schoolwork and my old computer with the deepest of prejudice.

Came back to >3,000 messages, panicked, and deleted 'em all by mistake except it wasn't really a mistake, so I've missed a lot of stuff like countless comic updates and just artwork/journal entries in general. Yeah. I'm coordinated.

Anyway, in the mean time, I've been doing a crapton of sketching, mostly of those creatures with wretched anatomy called Homo sapiens. I'll see what I can do in terms of scanning some of the less-horrid attempts (especially since there were actually a couple I didn't hate, who would'a thought) but I can't make a single promise. :I Ah, technology, simultaneously the bane of my existence and the best way to spend free time.

Finally, even though I'm ideally going to be a bit more active on here than I've been the last few months (read: checking messages more than maybe once or twice in a blue moon), the only drawing program on the computer I'm using is MS Paint and I can't download anything better, so I probably won't be uploading much for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to get a new computer in the summer, but in the mean time most of my drawing will be traditional and unless I can make this scanner work I won't be posting much.

Since that got longer than I thought, tl;dr I'm back from my unannounced departure from the face of the Internet and will ideally be posting stuff regularly again in the summer.

Now to go try drawing on MS Paint and raging at how prehistoric it is compared to basically every other art/photo editing program in existence! OTL

EDIT: Shortly after posting this the computer I'm currently using got a virus. JOYS OF TECHNOLOGY~
On the other hand, though, this means I'll probably be getting a new computer before the summer, so we'll see how this works out in the long run. :V

Stolen from NoctemTenebris. Scroll down to the bottom if you give a crap about the stuff I ramble about when I'm bored and procrastinating on art~

Five Things You're Good At
Canines (although I'm still trying to figure out a realistic fur technique that doesn't take forever, if that's even possible), variety in subject matter(?), using references, sketching, and maybe coloring. I'd like to think I'm good at this stuff, at least, but there's always room for improvement so I'm still working on all of it.

Five Things You're Bad At
Humans in general (anatomy, expressions, clothing, hair, etc.), perspective, backgrounds, traditional art other than maybe sketching, and drawing digitally without my tablet. Trying (mostly in vain) to improve on the first three, may eventually try the fourth, and I'm never going to draw digitally without a tablet because that's a pain.

What is/are your most common problem(s) with putting art out?
Laziness. Sheer and utter laziness. I especially tend to procrastinate on things I can't make look right so a lot of the unfinished files I've got lying around on my computer will never see the light of the Internet.

Why do you draw/paint/create?
I'm probably "supposed" to write some big long story about how, one day, at a time when my life was all sucky and emo, I discovered the wonders of art and have been inspired since. The reality is that drawing is a fun way to spend my free time so I just kinda do it because I can. That was inspirational, no?

Who has influenced/currently influences you(r art)?
Lots of stuff, but special shout-out to a lot of the people on the Internet for influencing me in all sorts of ways. I'm looking at you, Livestream. You people are awesome but this question didn't specify objectively positive influences.

What's your favorite medium?
Other than writing, definitely digital art. I like sketching traditionally because it prevents me from being too much of a perfectionist unless I want a paper full of eraser smudges, but for that reason I can't finish something traditionally because then perfectionism kicks in. :I

What was your lowest point in art? Highest point?
Erm... when I was a little kid and thought that using references was for blockheads and when I discovered dA and all its wonderful tutorials, respectively? Haven't been drawing "seriously" for that long (like I take art seriously) and I wouldn't say I've hit any high/low points yet.

What advice can you offer other artists?
Study real life. "Style" is not an excuse for sucky anatomy; work on realistic anatomy and then style. Practice until your hands fall off but avoiding carpal tunnel is probably a good idea. Draw hands and other things you suck at because it's good practice, but keep avoiding carpal tunnel because then your hands are useless slabs of flesh. Shading isn't usually gray. Yeah, I'm kinda just reiterating what other people have said because I don't feel qualified to offer general advice, and even if I did I wouldn't have any super-awesome brand-new undiscovered trick to tell you about. :V

Aside from all that, been more or less dead to dA for the past few weeks yet again. At the moment I'm addicted to Mweor, a sparklecat SIM that I've had an on-and-off relationship with for the past four years*. Currently taking commissions there, which is basically forcing me to prioritize it over other websites, but at least it keeps me drawing instead of looking at stupid crap on Tumblr the Internet all day. </shameless advertising> If you join, tell me your ID so I can stalk your cattery and send you random stuff that would otherwise rot away in my inventory because I'm greedy and don't like giving away to the general community. :3

...That was surprisingly not long/rambly/a text wall. Is it sad that that makes me feel accomplished? /brick'd

updated 10/23: Beat the climax of the game last night and I... I just....

Can we just talk about how Team Flare is probably one of the most evil and fabulous teams in the entire franchise? (I don't care what they say about "ultimate weapon;" they used a nuke and it's a good thing it didn't release poison gas everywhere or something.) Or how about parallels between their plan and the final boss in Gates to Infinity? Maybe Lysandre in general and how he somehow had a Mega Gyarados? (Did he make that Mega Ring himself? Supposedly there's only one, but I think I was lied to; Korrina shouldn't have been able to Mega Evolve her Lucario if there was only one Ring. Seems the neighbor got sorely cheated there.) Rambled a bit about Lysandre and Team Flare on ky-nim's poll, so go read this thing if you feel so inclined.

How about AZ and his last-second tragic backstory or the fact that he's like 10 feet tall? Also, Yveltal, which is pretty much the incarnation of evil. (I have Y; my sister has X and apparently Xernas doesn't consume the life of everything when it dies so that's good.) And is it just me or are little girls in Kalos really creepy? We've got the Fairy Tale girls with no pupils or whites in their eyes (like a certain disturbing Gym leader), one who feels like a Skiddo used Attract on her, and another who wants a Pokemon with Nuzzle to use it on her or something.

Even if it didn't have a game-breaking bug, I hate navigating it with a burning passion and I've been selling my soul to the taxi drivers just so I don't get miserably lost. And Mega Abomasnow? did you mean: President Barack Obama /brick'd

Finally, if anyone else has as much trouble with the Amie thing as I did, SimbaTheHuman posted a really good suggestion below. Additionally, if you're looking to max out Affection, Fullness, and Enjoyment, keep in mind that petting increases Affection but lowers Enjoyment, playing the minigames raises Enjoyment but lowers Fullness, and feeding raises Fullness but doesn't lower anything. So, max Affection --> max Fullness --> max Enjoyment in that order, whether for one Pokemon or the entire team. It usually takes about an hour or two for the whole team to get maxed out depending on the minigame; personally I'd recommend Tile Puzzle but this is coming from someone who's obsessed with puzzles, moving or not, and is pretty good at them if she does say so herself.

At the new time of writing, I'm grinding for the eighth Gym, so no spoilers beyond that (although I'm pretty sure there's not much else in here plot-wise other than Sycamore's little party and possibly AZ being reunited with his Flabebebebebebe--I mean Floette. If you're interested, my team consists of the ever-varied (in terms of typing) Linoone, Azumarill, Pyroar, Blastoise, Furfrou, and Tyrantrum; no room for Noivern, sadly, but I haven't found one yet anyway. >:I Ah well. That's what post-game teams are for.

So! Once again, it's been a while since I went through my notifications on dA, and even longer since I actually updated my comic. (If you're not interested in The Firebird Effect, feel free to skip this, since it's probably not relevant to your interests.) At this point I can make all the excuses I want, but the fact of the matter is this: I've lost interest.

I could go into a big long ramble about why I've been mentally done with the comic for a while, but essentially, I feel like the story has become something it wasn't intended to be - not when I started taking my XY "headcanons" in a wildly offshoot direction in the first place, and not even when I started the comic nearly two years ago.

And I'm not terribly inclined to either start over to make the beginning line up with the end or scrap my future plans to align with what's been posted.

In my book, one of the biggest creative pitfalls is when the artist is no longer interested in their work. I feel like it bleeds through somehow, whether through schedule slip or declining quality or a cheapshot ending or whatever. TFE is a very, very long way from completion in its current state.

However. I don't think it's a complete flaming garbage heap. I'm still very interested in exploring some of the ideas it plays with, and my main reason for starting it in the first place was to get one of my stories out there. And I intend to follow through with that. I am going to finish this story, in one way or another, and it's going to be public, start to finish. Just not as a page-by-page comic.

dA won’t let me get rid of the status bar on Eclipse, and other tragedies of web design. also, PSA your watchers/watchees(? the people you watch) are now public by default through the new layout, so that’s a thing

You know, the previous dA layout… was not great. Not responsive, questionable (albeit iconic) color scheme, and very much showing its age. If Eclipse had been the default layout back when I joined deviantART eight(!!) years ago… well, I didn’t care about web design back then, but it could’ve been nice.



Unfortunately, Eclipse as it’s being rolled out is buggy, still not 100% responsive, and effectively nukes my precious darling HTML. It is new and it shows. The way it forces all your folders to display with thumbnails isn’t my favorite feature either, considering I’ve renovated my gallery to serve as an archive of sorts and my crusty old art from 2013 doesn’t need a thumbnail display and neither do my not-100%-mine scraps, spare me.



Anyway.



The last time I posted a journal was 2018, and it can be roughly TL;DR’d as “lost interest in my own comic, lads.” Since then I’ve neither completed the thing nor posted the pages I had as backlog, but if the story still interests you, the closest I’ve gotten to finishing it are summaries via two character profiles: a deprecated minor character and the protagonist herself. Thaaaat’s probably as close as I’m gonna get, at this point \o/

NEXT DAY EDIT:  so this exists now



As far as personal updates go, anything relevant just gets crammed into the yearly roundups now. I don’t really have anything else to write here! Social media is my nemesis and I resent dA trying to turn into one (hello, live notifications, did not ask [but at least those can get turned off]). I could use a username change but like hell if I’m spending money on Internet Points, and maybe the outdated name could serve as a nudge for me to really haul my stuff over to my own darn site. You know, controlling your own platform and all that jazz, because then the presentation of everything doesn’t get a complete overhaul because the Higher Website Gods demanded it.



Anyway x2. There’s a six fanart challenge thing going around on twitter, so if you’ve read this far, feel free to toss me a suggestion for that ;V



See ya next time the planets align ✌️

the concept of "cringe" externalizes shame over youthful indulgence because you are expected to grow out of anything fun and have the world's highest standards always and that is dumb. that is a shame. there is nothing creative under the sun that cannot be done well, and even if something is done "badly," who gives a crap. does it spark joy? yes? art job done. the real cringe is cringe itself. go home everyone we have solved the internet



anyway this is a thing; copying the prompts here in case the original prompt list implodes, as links on the internet tend to do.



  1. heterochromia

  2. animal ears

  3. 2000s alt fashion

  4. glomping

  5. meme template

  6. fake screenshot

  7. "victorian" fashion

  8. just standing there

  9. a lot of belts

  10. blue hair

  11. impractical weapon

  12. demon OC

  13. that outfit looks cool in theory

  14. I'm not a furry but

  15. stoic Legolas expy

  16. plot contrivance

  17. ms paint drawing

  18. sonic OC

  19. tumblr sexyman

  20. hot evil lady

  21. Shrek reference

  22. Sans

  23. artist's choice

24-30 are (7 free days, spaced out as you wish). day 31 does not exist.

update: apparently i am using free days as "get out of prompt free" cards



bonus self-imposed rules:

- mspaint only

- seeing as no preexisting characters of mine fit many (if any) of the themes, a new one will be spawned specifically for this challenge. maybe more.

- the art can absolutely be done in 5 minutes or less. in theory it would be very cool if the drawings got progressively "better," mostly because it would make for a hell of a progression gallery-roundup-thing, but we are also in the midst of the semester and i am here to have a good time. increased pressure to make Art™ every single day is not a good time. it can, and should, be churned out in two seconds before bed if that is what it takes to draw something every day.



leave your irony at the door. we are here to have FUN



EDIT 10/14: this has somehow not petered off and also my prompt combining made a Mess so now it has a folder. also "draw something every day" I LAUGH

Follow-up to this hasty status update: Recent versions of FireAlpaca have an auto-save feature! It is unfortunately not huge help if you’ve been saving a lot, since your manual save will overwrite whatever FA did (and it doesn’t look like there’s a way to have it auto-save at regular intervals, either?? goddammit), BUT:

You’re welcome :D

Because my gallery is sorted mainly by year, so here’s some actual categorization~

Tags ordered alphabetically within groupings.



  • BY SUBJECT

  • recurring stories

  • disastercrew: the disaster duo, two of my oldest human characters (since ~2012), plus other people who spawned when I revisited their story in 2018

  • thefirebirdeffect/tfe: nuzlocke-inspired pokémon comic, active 2016–17

  • 404: experimental web-based narrative, launched 2020 (currently in limbo)

  • unmooredrandos: catch-all tag for You’re gonna be the death of me, a story that I’ve been playing with/developing since early 2021; major site art tagged with the acronym

  • other dudes

  • sladeauctor: RP character from 2011

  • zero: former adoptable/closed species from 2012

  • thosetwoguys: characters who were originally from TFE

  • sawface: weirdass monster, first drawn c. 2016

  • hellrabbit: creature that spawned as part of the #/unmooredrandos story, but appears elsewhere sometimes

  • fanart: ena, flightrising, pokemon, miscfanart

  • other: bodyhorror, canidae, creatures (miscellaneous monsters and non-FR dragons), lineup (character height things), rpstuff





  • OTHER

  • forxyz (gifts, commissions, trades)

  • icon (art that I’ve used as my dA icon over the years, because why not. (forgot what the very first one was, though…))

  • redraw (of my own stuff, both old and new versions)

  • roundup (annual & monthly compilations)*

  • template (memes, lineart)

  • video (animations & timelapses)

  • website (art featured somewhere on my site)





Why this?

Essentially: I’ve tried sorting my gallery by subject or even style before, but 1) I don’t like gallery repeats for some reason, 2) stuff overlaps a lot, and 3) if I wanted to change the criteria, moving everything was a pain. When dA first introduced tags I think I used them, but then a layout change hid them and somewhere in the interim I just cleared everything?? Idek, man.



In any case, the by-year system is most objective—but it makes finding anything specific a pain in the ass instead. Since I started being more active on dA again in 2021 (and tags seem here to stay), figured I’d do this ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ



*A note on roundups

Compilations encompass A Lot Of Stuff. Sometimes I add specific tags (either of note or that I happened to remember pop up somewhere); usually I don’t. Until I make up my mind here, these deviations will come up sporadically in other tags.





Last updated  2022-09-21: fixed #/icon link (has been #/untagged for the longest time, whoops)

– 2022-09-20: added #/3d, rephrased #/website description (“art for webpages” → “art featured somewhere on my site”)

– 2022-05-25: condensed #/disasterduo + #/disasterduoandpals into #/disastercrew

– 2022-03-27: updated #/unmooredrandos tag description

– 2021-02-12: rewrote & reshuffled stuff, cleared this changelog; added new tags #/painterly #/scribbly #/video

All right, I give up trying to reconcile my latest uploads and stuff that looks good in the featured folder, and subsequently overhauling the whole gallery with every other upload.

Title; I’m aaaaaaalmost done with semester work and have been wanting to take random little art requests for a while, throw ’em at me 👀 OCs, fanart, human, creacher, serious, silly, you name it*; quality-wise, expect a scribbly colored sketch like one of my roundup drawings (650x500), maybe bigger/cleaner if I get carried away with it.



You can totally just throw me a reference with no further info, but if you want a prompt idea, here’s a few I stole from tungler dot hellsite:

  • make me choose between two things

  • terrible horrible no good very bad Real Authentique MSPaint quality

  • two characters that have to be interacting somehow; optionally, a word about what they might be doing

  • pokémon fusions (or non-pokémon fusions??)

  • outfit and/or palette swaps

  • attempt at copying your art style

  • truth or draw: Send me a question and an art request. If I can’t answer the question I have to draw the thing. (I might draw the thing regardless.)

  • one of those expression or palette or outfit or pose or xyz-whatever-thign memes that floats around ig



*Obligatory disclaimer that I reserve the right to interpret your request however I want, or flat-out not do it. [EDIT:] This is supposed to be a casual thing, not a free commission station, and I will decline overly-detailed requests. Have fun, be chill :V



Depending on a lot of little factors subject entirely to my whim, resulting doodles may be uploaded individually or in a sketchdump or something; I’ll reply to your comment with a sta.sh link, at least. Open indefinitely or until whenever I feel like doing something else.

-scrawling furiously on a chalkboard- I will not start using deviantART like social media, I will not start using deviantART like social media, I will not

(Genuinely, the latest couple updates have been an anomaly; we will resume the usual radio-silence-sans-actual-deviation-uploads soon, probably.)



So first things first, HUGE shout-out to the kind person who got me a core membership today :D I have thus been enabled to do the one and only thing I’d ever want to do with a core membership*: change my gosh dang username.



*Once upon a time I would have also wanted to use core for like, journal skins and polls, except now everyone can do the latter and I don’t think the former is really a Thing anymore, but I digress.



It is done. The days of NightAuctor are no more. I have now turned into one of the Cool Kidz™ who uses a consistent handle across most (active, anyway) platforms. You are still totally free to call me whatever the heck you want, though.



Self-gratuitous rambling below:



I’m writing this as a journal because the timing is, coincidentally, fitting enough; I haven’t been this active on dA for literal years. And while I don’t care about self-promotion, people keep finding my stuff one way or another somehow anyway, and that’s pretty cool. So, additional shout-out to my newest watchers! There is no consistency or god or master here, thanks for stopping by 👋



On that note, a little ~historical context~: I’ve been using a-flyleaf sinnnce… wow, apparently 2016?? Over five goddamn years now, stop it, I feel old. Before that (and still today to an extent, depending where I am), one of the closest things I had to a consistent username was Nightpath—and yes, that is a warrior cat name. That was not a phase in which I drew digitally a lot, never mind posting it, but it was a very strong phase that happened nonetheless. <s>guess my age lol</s> So that’s half my old username.



The other half is from Slade Auctor, a coyote RP character I’ve had since 2011 (you might recognize him as my previous icon). He was more or less a self-insert, and while I forget where I got Slade from, auctor is Latin for “writer” and I’ll give you two guesses what his schtick was (in theory, anyway; TFW no thumbs).



Night + Auctor = NightAuctor. Solid. And the stylized little “N/A” makes for a very nifty signature, which I’m gonna keep using. I probably could’ve kept that username too, really, since if I have anything like a “personal brand” it’s Being Slapdash On Purpose. But the opportunity is here on a diamond platter, and automatic redirects are a blessing, so… hello! Same weirdo, different name.



And for the record, any resemblance to a Christian rock band is entirely unintentional. I Just Thought The Word Was Neat. There’s deeper lore to the rest of it, but I’ll spare ya ;V





As a little thanks for reading this far, I’ll turn the mic over to you (in an effort to make this a smidge less yelling-to-the-void-y and more interaction-initiation-y, and because this stuff genuinely fascinates me*): Where’d you get your username from? Is it consistent across sites, and how long have you been using it?


*ok I guess I’m not 100% done yet: It’s always cool to me how internet names (or lack thereof) come about and why, especially if they change over time. Because while it could very well be an inside joke or middle school name that Stuck, and anonymity online is a double-edged sword (to say the least), the internet is one of the few places where your name is really, wholly yours.



I just think that’s something pretty special.

It’s <2,500 words of rambling about my own projects and the status thereof, ft. tangentially-relevant website and medium meta. I have posted scarcely about my previous project for a reason, which is outlined there, and so you might have no idea what I’m talking about for half of it. To skip to the part concerning the “unmoored randos” I’ve been drawing all year, here’s a nifty subheader.



Have an excerpt. (I would put it in a blockquote except dA’s blockquote styling makes it huge, thanks Eclipse /s; bullets must suffice for proper indentation instead.)



  • The idea first spawned in November 2020, as one of a couple little story-starters I entertained for like a day and then moved past—and then around January, in typing up those notes for personal archival, I thought, this idea kinda slaps tho ngl.

  • So the two characters at the crux got designs. New characters spawned to mirror them. And, while I am normally reluctant to publicize anything story-related because ~spoilers~ or whatever, I didn’t care about that this round because I wasn’t thinking it was going to become A Thing™. Figured I’d just play around with the idea some more, inevitably lose interest, fun was had call it a day.

  • Well, it’s December 2021, and I’ve told a non-small amount of people about the story, all with the assumption it would, in fact, become A Thing™. So, I guess now it’s going to become A Thing??



. . . I need to use my own dang website more often /o\

I actually don’t hate the Studio thing, go figure.


Anyway, this post mostly exists so I can link it in the descriptions of the forthcoming retroactive deviation-dump. Yes, I am about to upload a handful of stuff several months late. Yes, I am as ever a stickler for archival and accurate dates and such and whatnot.

We are one (1) process-shortening spreadsheet closer to me finally making an offsite dA mirror. Except I have five-hundred-thirteen fucking deviations as of writing (journal entries/status updates notwithstanding; also not including a handful of backlogged stuff from 2024 onward), and do I feel like testing GitHub’s repository size limits by reuploading all those images? Lol. Lmao, even.


Uhh, apparently I can’t edit old deviation descriptions without auto-converting them to the current HTML-less system, so that blows. Tags are separate, though.

title links open in a new tab. minor formatting adjustments made for display purposes. data reflects exactly what's onsite, without regard for link-pruning, altered dates (e.g. stuff uploaded late), and other nitpicky manually-edited stuff that I can edit myself later.

times are correct & will display as EST on live site; localhost is weird (-4h) for some reason. dw about it.

"legacy-journal" has been retroactively applied to all descriptions before ~2024 (starts here with "roundup 2023/02"). I know for a FACT I have HTML in some of the newer descriptions but dA does not reflect this. big F.

As noted on the image itself, :iconwyndbain: made the Wolf Maker ([link]) I used, though I added shading and Vex's name.

NOTES on VEX'S CHARACTER: (these will be removed once I make an account for her)
~Over-friendly
~Has a method of pouncing on anyone she sees, not to be mean but simply out of excitement
~Will go crazy if left alone for longer than an hour
~Does not take rejection well
~Quick to trust
~Flirtatious, mostly to males

I'd say that, for once, the hours haven't been wasted, because this is the first time I have ever drawn a Pokemon of any sort. :3

So yeah, I'ma go roleplay now. I am determined to finish this before the end of the week!

Also, three things:
1. I hate Mightyena's snout. Hate hate hate it.
2. I forgot to include Houndoom's claws and Eevee's "tail splash"...! D:
3. I may or may not remember to fix these things in the final version.

Pokemon, including (but not limited to) Eevee, Houndoom, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mightyena, and Zorua, is copyright Nintendo.

In-Depth Description

I recently got the book DragonArt Evolution (by my art idol :iconneondragon:), and after sketching out some of the dragons from the tutorials via pencil and paper I decided to try making them digital.

Purple Dragon: The tutorial for this guy wasn't in the book; I found it on NeonDragon's website, neondragonart.com neondragonart.com.

Tan Dragon: My personal favorite. Titled "Lung Dragon - Bearded Dragon Head: Side View" in the book. I took some liberties with the horns, fur, and chest scales, but overall I tried to stay true to the book.

Blue Dragon: Titled "Dragon Hatchlings - Eastern" in the book. As for the drawing itself, I tried to mimic the tutorial as closely as I could (not including the back leg, which looked awkward to me), though I majorly messed up in the chest area. It's a shame that I'm too lazy to go back and fix that, because I love how the face came out.

I tried out a new shading style, and while I'm not crazy about it I guess I can try to get used to it. It involves layer modes and cel-style and that stuffs.

This is probably the last thing I'll ever make 100% using a mouse thanks to my new tablet, and I think I was able to finish off with something that isn't half-bad. :)

EDIT: About that big empty space in the bottom-right corner- I was going to draw another dragon there, but then I got my tablet, so from here on out that will be empty. :icondealwithittrollplz:

Ever had one of those moments where you ask yourself "What am I doing with my life?"?

I had an hour-long moment like that while sketching this out.

This is Syla, the dragon featured in this meme [link] . I drew this completely on my own, keeping in mind (but not strictly adhering to) the tutorials in DragonArt: Evolution (by *neondragon) as I did before.

I'm quite fond of how it turned out. Maybe it's a little off-balance, but eh, it's good enough for me.

I was going to add a description on the image itself, but her age is always changing and her personality/history is modified depending on the "universe" she's in; her main role is the protagonist in a novel of mine, but I also plan to roleplay her at some point.

This is probably the last dragon-related thing I'll be submitting in a while. Late last night I was suddenly inspired to draw humans again, and I ended up doing a few anatomy sketches.

Kyurem's proportions are all WRROOOONNNNG. ;A; I blame the horrible reference I used and the fact that I was trying a different perspective. Oh well. I guess he's bound to be at least slightly overweight by now, having spent years locked up in Giant Chasm and all.
Black-Kyurem's arms bring to mind either a gorilla or "HULK SMAAAASSSSHHHHHH!" (even though I don't know crap about comic book superheroes like that |D). Maybe I will draw that someday.
White-Kyurem had a ridiculously long tail in the sketch, so I took some artistic liberties and am going to say that's it's curved and thus not visible. Black-Kyurem's tail is already long enough as-is.
...also, I have no idea what the names of Kyurem's new formes are, which is why I refer to them as "Black-/White-Kyurem".
I think I drew the alternate versions of Kyurem better than Kyurem itself. :/

Anyway. This was confusing as all heck to color due to overlapping body parts and relatively similar color palettes. Hopefully the shading/highlighting I'll add later should clear things up.

I KEEP MAKING FANAAAAARRRRT.

Anyhow. I really hate how Kyurem looks in the WIP picture with him standing near his other formes (yes, I consider Kyurem to be male, even if he's technically genderless), so I decided to practice some anatomy.

I was originally just gonna draw him all over the place, and then I realized that he's basically an icy dragon- Tyrannosaurus Rex.

When I was a little kid I was absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs, so I figured I'd try drawing one again to get a feel for what Kyurem's anatomy might be like. The T-Rex headshot right below the "naked" Kyurem head is the first dinosaur I've drawn in years. |D After looking at some reference pictures... well, I made a half-decent head right below that one.

This is old and cruddy and I haven't the slightest idea why it's the most favourited thing I've drawn as of March 2013. Go see the remake/sequel instead which took longer to make and isn't half as crap~

Old Description:
Yes, I know the shading is all messed-up. I forgot to save the stupid .xcf file so there's no fixing it. :|

Also, I hate textures.

If you're wondering about that random rock in the foreground, it's because Cobalion is just standing between two rocks in the middle of a cave when you catch him. The second is somewhere in the background, but since I got lazy I'll just say that Cobalion is covering it.

Long story short my sister wanted me to draw a frustrated person and one of the Pokemon in the Musketeer Trio... nobody said I had to draw the person on the canvas. :V

Time Taken: about five hours. I don't know how people manage to make gigantic, awesome-looking comic pages in much less time....

Screw shading.


This is Haley, aka She With An Unoriginal Design/Last Name. I was going to use her in my Crazy Dice Nuzlocke, but since I'm probably not gonna get to making that ever, might as well use 'er for the roleplay.

Basically, she's got no life and is addicted to gambling, so her mother gave her a Meowth (a super-belated birthday gift from when Haley was 10) and kicked her out of their apartment. I'll elaborate and all that crap when I redo this. |D

Feel free to download for full view, but the file is HUGE.

Categories are still confusing as all heck. Oh well. This is going to be scrapped eventually.

See this? This is what happens when I'm on a plane for +12 hours/train for +10 hours/car for +[I didn't dare to count] days/etc. I make up my own absurd ideas to draw.

Translation for those who can't read my horrible handwriting; I try, I really do....
Note I did a lot of sketching while on vacation; however, most drawings are of things I plan on redoing at some point in the future, so you suckas people don't get to see 'em... yet.
Oh, and for those who are wondering about why the last few drawings are lined, it's because I got extremely bored on the flight back and chose a few favorites to line.
Enough of my horrible handwriting. Read below for further rambling description!

Text Wall of Unnecessary Detail Below
Chinese Dragon- I guess I'm fairly decent at drawing Asian-looking dragons, despite the fact I'm sure I forgot a lot of minor details... but I can not for the life of me draw in the style you see on all those old buildings or statues such as the ones in the Forbidden City. How people had the patience to draw such complicated dragons again and again blows my mind....
Giant Pandas- When I visited the panda breeding center in Chengdu, a few of the pandas were sitting in a much more reclined position than I've shown, with piles of bamboo on their laps. They really don't do much more than lie down, eat, and occasionally walk around from what I got to see. Also, the muzzles look like dog or wolf snouts; I swear the original looked better....

Mind you, I didn't have a reference (other than my cruddy memory) for any of these drawings, so it doesn't quite look like a Hydreigon... but eh, it was strangely easier than drawing a creepy Ditto. Not much you can do with two dots and a line....
Some Kind of Raptor- Not the dinosaur kind, obviously. On the Guilin Li River Cruise, I saw a couple of big birds like hawks or eagles or something fishing around a certain area like crazy.
Catchin' Flies- Also on the Li River Cruise, there was some guy sitting across the aisle from me (more info on the setup later) who slept the whole time. His snoring was ridiculously loud and his mouth was wide open. No need to tell me how horrible the anatomy is on this. I'm well aware there's mistakes everywhere.
Attempt at Japanese Style- ...I honestly have no idea when I drew this thing and the rest of the drawings. At any rate, I got extremely bored and ended up drawing an angry cartoonish cat....
The Many Faces of Derppaw- Thus, I was inspired to doodle an old character of mine, Derppaw. I think he's from an old roleplay or something. For all I can say, I love drawing impossible expressions.

(TMoC = The Misadventures of Creepip darn you character limit)

When not working on the comic itself or derping around on the Internet, this is how I spend my free time.

Jus' a few sketches of various characters who will show up eventually, some a lot sooner than others....

Random Useless Facts
~Jud taught himself to walk on his "hands" (though when he's walking, he's slower than a swimming Torterra).
~Ch'Ding thinks using things like "chan", "-kun", and "kawaii" makes him seem more Japanese (weeaboo much?).
~Creepip doesn't really live anywhere but she likes to sleep in mailboxes.
~Shuckie is capable of leaving his shell/stretching his body to crazy lengths because his body is basically jelly.
~Casey often gets mistaken for a girl for no apparent reason.
~Bucky lives in a 24/7 sugar high bought about by too much Red Bouffalant consumption.
~May doesn't really care much for her trainer but stays with her anyway.
~Ava wishes she had complete control over her tail-head (which she sometimes calls Bob; it finds this name offensive).
No, I'm not telling you which character is which... shouldn't be too hard to figure out based on the pictures but still.

It's so ridiculously powerful that even the mighty ExtremeKiller Arceus can only tremble in fear and run back to its mother, wailing like a newborn child. Truly, Toast is unmatched by <i>everything</i>.<br><hr><b>Destructinatoast</b> | Item: Butter | Nature: STFU<br>~Crack<br>~Sanity Hell<br>~On A Book / Internet / Strangle<br>~Explode / Toxic<br><br>This is the one and only set for Toast that can truly put an end to any and all Pokemon daring enough to stand in its way. Its signature item, Butter, restores between a quarter and half of its maximum HP every other turn, meaning it can use all four moveslots to destroy everything without having to worry about dwindling health (not that it has anything to worry about in that respect, given its more than respectable base HP). Toast is also one of the few Pokemon to have a signature Nature, STFU, which gives a boost to all its stats (at the cost of sharply decreasing N00b).<br><br>Toast could probably own every single Pokemon in existence without even having moves to begin with; it can simply Struggle everything to death. However, unless you want to make the battle even more simple than it already is, you can actually make use of Toast's four moveslots. Crack is guaranteed to confuse literally every battling Pokemon that isn't Toast, offering some awesome hax, though the 10% chance of self-confusion after the move is used is a bit of a letdown. Sanity Hell is ridiculously inaccurate, but on the occasion that it does hit it will completely destroy foes' wills to live--that is, all their stats will be dropped by -6. The third moveslot can be taken up by three moves, depending on personal preference: On A Book is basically the same as Hyper Voice but also disables all stat-boosting moves the foe may have, Internet renders the opponent immobile from three to five turns, and Strangle (known as Snuggie in-game if you have a pirated copy) is a one-hit KO move that only has a 10% chance of hitting; do note, however, that Strangle is banned in all metagames below Uber-Uber. Finally, Toxic is a choice to slowly wear down opposing Toast, though Explode is almost guaranteed to cause a K-O.<br><br>Nobody will really give a crap who you use as teammates. They'll all be running more or less the same moveset, and... oh yeah, they're exactly the same (unless you're on some "no-rules" server, but why would you be doing that, anyway?).<br><br><h2>Other Options</h2><br>Ask not what you can do for Toast, but what Toast can do for you. It can use absolutely any move viable other than Wass Beam, which is unreleased anyway so you have nothing to worry about. Seriously, this thing could just flop down and die and will <i>still</i> win because it's <i>toast</i>.<br><br><h2>Checks and Counters</h2><br>Toast has its own signature typing: Bread. Bread-type is weak only to the coveted Toaster-type, which has yet to be released anyhow. Occasionally, Toast has been defeated by Wasserbienchen, but Wasserbienchen can be commanded by no one and currently no simulator is compatible with her Wassomeness; therefore, you've really got nothing to fear if you use Toast. Just be warned that you probably won't using it against anything other than itself if you <i>do</i> decide to play the Uber-Uber metagame.<br><br><h2>Dream World</h2><br>Toast gets Wonder Guard from the Dream World, which makes it even more invincible than it already is. It's really up to personal preference as to what ability you use: if you want to go with Unstoppable, you don't have to worry about EV placement and whatnot, but if you decide Wonder Guard's your best bet... actually, screw it, EVs aren't important here, either.</div>

I've been feeling rather sluggish lately and decided to use my time drawing more creepy stuff.

I hear that, if you put salt on a snail/slug, they slowly shrivel and melt and die. Sorry if that's not extremely clear at a first glance.
Hey, guys, hate to interrupt you when you're slowly dying, but your mascara's bleeding.

"It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back." ~Diamond Pokedex entry
Can't imagine that the head would grow back too quickly when the rest of it is slowly dissolving....

Based on the work of PokemonFromHell. I think I did the "creepy Pokemon" theme justice. >:3

Please tell me if you think this should have a mature warning. I don't think the blood/decapitation is too bad, but still....

I TRIED AND THEREFORE NOONE SHOULD CRITICIZE ME although that's the reason I posted this in the first place

On a somewhat less raeg-induced note, I was trying to draw a "preview" thinger of a story I wrote a few weeks ago. :V To those who don't know yet, N is going to be on the Pokemon anime. >$50 that his character will be absolutely butchered. Sure, he's a creeper, but even though I personally don't like him, he's an interesting character IF portrayed correctly (i.e. not how the fangirls see him) or with a different interpretation (looking at Nuzlockers who give his character a revamp). However, given how much the anime sucks, they'll get him all wrong. Wait, where was I going with this?

But yeah, as a result, ended up writing a semi-short story in which N and Ash meet and a lot of stuff goes down. Everyone's really out-of-character and I'm probably not gonna post it, but I've been meaning to practice human anatomy and stuff so here you go. The composition is awful and the more I look at it the worse it gets, but I think N turned out sorta decent. Human faces viewed from the front are my artistic plague.

For that reason (and further rambling aside), critique on the person's anatomy is highly encouraged! Feel free to comment on other stuff like those Arceus-foresaken clothing folds, but I know the composition and stuff is awful and anatomy is why I haven't deleted the file yet. :V

<div class="legacy-journal _2DahR _1t6xo _2CKTq">They'd said that the apocalypse was coming. They'd said that the twenty-first of December, year twenty-twelve, would be the day that the world would be destroyed. They weren't entirely wrong. However, exactly <i>how</i> the end of the world came about was far more different than any sane person could have ever foreseen.<br><br> It began late that night. Nobody knows who was first or where it started, but the zombie apocalypse was in full swing by midnight. Around this time, at the break of the ominous full moon, a certain trainer and her starter were seen wandering around a graveyard.<br><br> Her name was White Jinae. The seventeen-year-old trainer had been on a relatively normal journey up until that point, and had recently defeated Nimbasa City's Gym Leader, Elesa. However, little more was known about her, aside from details from later interviews with her neighbors, Cheren Corett and Bianca Sian. Like those cliché movies about the zombie apocalypse, White and her Serperior, both missing quite a bit of skin and moving slowly as heck, wandered aimlessly through the graveyard, groaning for brains or simply moaning incomprehensibly. It might have been scary, but at the time they hadn't found any victims.<br><br> Meanwhile, Cheren had just woken up from a horrific and rather revealing nightmare. It, sadly, wasn't completely unexpected, and he suspected it wouldn't be the last, so he went out to see his therapist.<br><br> “So what seems to be the problem?” the therapist asked, looking down at a small slip of paper.<br><br> “I keep dreaming of a green-haired man in leather!” Cheren shouted, hands on his head as if ready to tear his hair out.<br><br> Seeing the psychotic look in the young man's eyes, his therapist pat his knee—it was the closest thing to a shoulder that the therapist could reach, given that he was a Minccino wearing a monocle and lab coat. “It's okay, Cheren. We're all gonna have these nightmares...”<br><br> “But it was <i>leather</i>!” Cheren got up and flipped the nearest table. “His hair was green and his eyes were blue and red and he was biting a knife and he was holding a chain and—the things he was <i>wearing</i>....”<br><br> “Cheren, sir, I think—”<br><br> “Don't <i>'Cheren, sir'</i> me! It's not the first time I've dreamed about this man, either, and I have no idea who he is!”<br><br> “Oh, yes?” The Minccino raised a hypothetical eyebrow. “What other dreams have you had about him?”<br><br> “Countless.” Cheren flopped onto a long couch and shut his eyes. “In the most recent one, there was a fire and meteors, and he swooped down on a rope to... catch me or something? It was like he was a superhero, and I was in a pink dress and high heels, and he said in a manly voice, 'Don't fret, young lady, I got this!'” He groaned. “I think I'm going crazy.”<br><br> The Minccino was silent for a few moments, scribbling furiously on the paper with a pen he had produced out of thin air. “It sounds like you're hallucinating yourself in a BROTP.”<br><br> Cheren stared at his therapist blankly.<br><br> “Regardless of whether or not you've seen this man before, either having met him or caught a glimpse of him on the streets, your mind has subconsciously decided he's your best friend. You recently lost to Elesa, correct?”<br><br> Cheren facepalmed, glasses and all.<br><br> “You're lonely. You need someone and—”<br><br> “But he was wearing <i>leather</i>!”<br><br> There was a long pause. The Minccino may have easily talked to the troubled young man thoroughly, but frankly since it was the end of the world he was beyond giving a crap. Readjusting his monocle, the Minccino sighed. “Why don't you... go outside for a while? Clear your head. Get some fresh air.”<br><br> Cheren stood, pulling down his sleeves. “Yeah... yeah, you're right. I... I need to think this through alone for a while.” He began to leave the light blue void that was the scene's setting. “Thanks. Should I schedule another—”<br><br> “Nonono! Begone,” the Minccino said, though he waved his paws even more quickly than he spoke. “Can't stress you out much more. Oh, and, uh, watch out for zombies!”<br><br> <i>Zombies?</i> Cheren almost turned back, but shook his head and kept walking. <i>No, Cheren. You're losing it. Heck, your therapist isn't even human. Just get some nice, fresh, mind-cleansing—</i><br><br> His thoughts were cut off when he found himself shoved back, and before he knew what was happening he had fallen into a newspaper stand.<br><br> “Ch-Cheren! Sorry!” Readjusting his glasses, Cheren made out a blonde girl with an orange shirt, looking at him nervously but constantly glancing over her shoulder.<br><br> He squinted. “Bianca? What are you—”<br><br> “<i>Braiiiinssss....</i>” A low groan was heard from not far off; Cheren looked up and regretted it immediately, grabbing a newspaper instinctively and with trembling hands he rolled it up and stood near Bianca.<br><br> Shuffling towards them at the speed of Munchlax was none other than White, who was in horrible shape. Zombification was not kind to her; she no longer had eyes, her face was bony, her right arm was mostly bone, and she was struggling to walk on account of large sections of skin missing from her left side and leg.<br><br> “What the—” Cheren sputtered, about to point the newspaper at White as if it were a gun, but Bianca grabbed his arm and began running away.<br><br> “It's... the zombie... apocalypse!” she gasped between breaths.<br><br> “Could've guessed.” Cheren clenched his fist around the newspaper roll more tightly. “But it's... it's a hoax!”<br><br> “White's not a <i>hoax</i>!”<br><br> They stopped short, faced with the stereotypical dead end in a dark alley. Cheren held the newspaper by his shoulders like a baseball bat, backing up slowly. “Did... did we lose her?”<br><br> “<i>I want your braiiinnnssss!</i>”<br><br> Somehow, White had caught up, and she now wielded an actual baseball bat. It made her pathetic hobbling even worse but she managed to drag it around without losing an arm, but when she caught sight of the two (or so it seemed; there were only black voids where her eyes should have been), she swung the bat over her back and lunged forward.<br><br> Cheren aimed the newspaper steadily, not wanting to make the first move—considering his former acquaintance was a zombie and therefore no faster than a Shuckle, he had time to strategize. Did he feel any remorse for what he was aiming to do? Absolutely not. This was the person who had once slapped him mercilessly. Aside from that, she was heading straight for Bianca—who cared if the blonde had ditched him for the gay Gym leader who had slaughtered his Pokemon? He'd try his best not to make things awkward after bashing the zombie's skull in, anyway.<br><br> “Come at me, glasses murderer!” he taunted, not sure how much longer he wanted to stand around and hope White suddenly didn't become much faster. “Newspaper is the ultimate weapon!”<br><br> Before anyone could react, there was an explosion somewhere. At the Pokemon League, while Cheren had a therapy session with a Pokemon and aimed to become the anti-zombie hero that Bianca deserved, the Elite Four had gone mad. Champion Alder had been calmly enjoying a tangerine when he happened to look up and see the Elite Four stripping their clothes and mounting colorful ponies. He subconsciously strangled the orange fruit. <i>Not again.</i><br><br> “Caitlin! Shauntal! Marshall! Grimsley!” the angry ginger man shouted, storming out of his grand temple and down countless stairs quickly as possible without tripping. “What the <i>hell</i> do you think you're doing <i>now</i>?”<br><br> “We're sick and tired of holding back, <i>Champion</i>,” the closest Elite Four member, Caitlin, said, hissing out the last word. “We are the Elite Four Apocalypse Riders, and with the help of our ponies, we'll end the world once and for all!”<br><br> Alder whistled through his fingers, summoning his own pony; it couldn't maintain a consistent appearance but he was able to mount it regardless. “This is madness.”<br><br> “This is crack!”<br><br> “Will ya'll please hurry up?” Shauntal yelled. “Twilight and I've been practicin' for the Armageddon Rodeo for years, and we ain't about to miss it now!”<br><br> “You're not going to end the world,” Alder spat. “Not if I have anything to do with it.”<br><br> “You'll never take us alive!” Caitlin cackled, cracking the reins of her pink pony so hard they broke off. “On, Pinkie; on, Twilight; on, Applejack and Rarity! We've got a world to destroy!”<br><br> With that, the four ponies and riders leaped into the sky. While Grimsley and Marshall rode along like any normal person aside from the fact they were devoid of clothing and on a flying horse, Shauntal refused to resist practicing her rodeo skills and grinned wildly as she held on with only one hand, and Caitlin... well, Caitlin had something special in mind for anyone who liked their women old and barely censored.<br><br> Alder tried his best to catch up, but it was to no avail—when Grimsley finally got sick of the chase he flung back a bomb, which vaporized both Alder and his pony on impact. Fortunately, his ghost was able to save a certain Pokemon.<br><br> Meanwhile, back in some room with a fireplace, it turned out that Serperiors were able to “dezombify” themselves without having the ability Shed Skin, and a few remaining spectators were awed by this phenomenon. One photographer was able to confirm that the Serperior they were seeing indeed had been a zombie—the picture showed what appeared to be a semi-romantic moment between the Serperior, whose markings were exactly the same as the one all over the news, and a Lilligant. The Serperior was loosely tied in a thin red ribbon, ending in a fancy bow on his neck, and packed into a small blue box. The nearby Lilligant was completely stiff on account of the Christmas lights wrapped around her body and plastic star lodged in her head. She seemed to be unmoving voluntarily, however, despite the fact that if Pokemon could talk she'd certainly be telling the Serperior to fuck off.<br><br> Bianca would later report that, before becoming a zombie, White had been trying to make her Pokemon feel festive before inevitable doom. Her attempts at getting them in a Christmas spirit involved cramming the Serperior, Champ, into a box and making the Lilligant, Veera, look like a Christmas tree. Unknown to her, however, Veera was Jewish.<br><br> By the time all of this had happened, the Apocalypse had been largely forgotten. Among the lucky survivors who had close encounters was none other than Cheren Corett, but he did not emerge unscarred. He wasn't sure whether or not he was dreaming, but on Christmas morning, he was greeted by the green-haired man from his dreams, who leaned against the wall with one arm and happened to be standing underneath a mistletoe that Cheren was quite certain hadn't been there before.<br><br> Against his heterosexuality, Cheren happened to notice that the man wore no clothing of any sort—arguably worse than leather—and was “censored” only by an all-too-thin ribbon. “Ay, Cheren,” he said in a strangely familiar voice, “look what I got you for Christmas.”<br><br> Cheren dragged his eyes from the man's crotch. <i>I'm straight. I'm not gay. I do not want the D.</i><br><br> Before he could speak, an older man's voice called from offscreen. “N, my boy! You're going to miss Plasma Style!”<br><br> N rolled his eyes and looked over his shoulder in exasperation. “Dad, stop interrupting me when I'm trying to seduce my bro!”<br><br> “<i>Oppan. Plasma. Style.</i>”<br><br> N looked at Cheren and winked. “I'll be back,” he said smoothly, then turned and left the panel.<br><br> Cheren promptly pinched himself, wiped his glasses, and looked for the nearest brain bleach.<br><br><br> Though the world did not end that day, thanks to the efforts of a previously-mentioned water bee and a strangely-colored Hoppip, things did not go entirely back to normal. When later interviewed, Bianca and Cheren reported that White was not defeated—when she finally noticed the newspaper, she turned and escaped using Run Away.<br><br> Other zombies still lurked Unova, even if by that point a vast majority had been sent to the grave. White happened to be one who remained aboveground, as well as another unidentified female. In a rather grotesque shot by an anonymous bystander, by the light of the full moon, the two were embraced in an awkward zombie hug and apparently in the middle of the slowest makeout in history. Two unidentified brains formed a heart above their skulls. (In response, Bianca would comment that “brains” may have been a sick metaphor for “love,” given the brains' shape in the photograph, but nobody really gave a crap about symbolism because that's too deep and logical for crack.)<br><br> The Elite Four did at last give up their madness. Alder, as a ghost trying to find whatever was after death, happened to stumble upon a water bee Pokemon and saved her from being overwhelmed by the Crackocalypse. In return, she and her friend Creepip, a purple-and-yellow Hoppip, finished what Alder could not.<br><br> “This is your last warning!” Creepip yelled, smiling cutely as she shoved an M-rated cannonball down a very special cannon. “We have crack cannons...”<br><br> “And we're not afraid to use them!” Wasserbienchen finished, yanking a lever and firing the ball straight at the Elite Four. It exploded in a huge burst of rainbows and sparkles, which showered down on a certain three people below.<br><br> An adorable Bulbasaur, who had temporarily been put in charge of Wasser's Box of Crack, was one of the explosion's closest witnesses. “Uguu!” it would later report, having apparently squealed in delight, demonic red eyes gazing in wonder at the fabulousness.<br><br> Oh yes, and those three people?<br><br> “It's about time you showed up,” complained a sadistic brunette, hands on her hips as Ghetsis and N entered the scene. She seemed unfazed by N's lack of clothing. “Tokyo, get dressed.” She flung a white, flowy shirt and gray shorts at him. “We're doing Gangnam Style.”<br><br> “My name is not Tokyo!” N said, dressing quickly.<br><br> “Of course it is, son,” Ghetsis said, standing beside his much younger waifu. “It makes about as much sense as this young lady, who's about your age, being your mother. Besides, haven't you told White that you want to become capital of Japan someday?”<br><br> N stared at them for a moment. “Didn't White punch me in the... no, wait, never mind.”<br><br> “You know I'm violent to anyone and everyone,” White said, grinning. “Now get in line.”<br><br> “Hit it!” Ghetsis shouted as everyone got into position. He flicked down his sunglasses and out of nowhere played a Ghetsis-themed version of “Oppan Gangnam Style.” Fabulous crack sparkles showered the inter-dimensional family (though they only seemed to affect N's pants) as they Gangnam Style'd until dropping dead or something.<br><br> And that is why you don't let me into Livestreams on the Apocalypse!</div>

<div class="legacy-journal _2DahR _1t6xo _2CKTq"><h1>TOAST</h1><br><b><u>Unstoppable</u></b>: This Pokemon has over 9,000 EVs in every stat by default.<br><b><u><i>Wonder Guard</i></u></b>: Only super-effective attacks harm this Pokemon.<br><hr><b>Type:</b> Bread | <b>Tier:</b> Livestream<br><hr><h2>Overview</h2><br>The Uber-Uber tier recently got a huge revamp (its renaming to Livestream being one of the biggest changes), letting loose countless previously-unreleased Pokemon into the midst. Our favorite heated bread is now faced with new checks, but if these forces can be kept off the field by teammates (thank Arceus for variety in this crack-forsaken tier) Toast can continue to be a dominant force, causing unfortunate foes to bow in humility or Screech in terror like children whose Roggenrolas were stolen by nonexistent shippings.<br><hr><b>Standard Destructoast</b> | Item: Butter | Ability: Unstoppable | Nature: STFU<br>~Crack<br>~Sanity Hell<br>~On A Book / Internet / Snuggie<br>~Awesome / Toxic<br><br>Toast's classic set from 2012 continues to be one of its most frequently used methods of obliteration, now with a twist: Awesome. Despite a seemingly crippling accuracy of 5%, the move manages to be viable, as it's not only a guaranteed OHKO but makes Toast sparkle. No, it doesn't become shiny, it <i>sparkles</i>, not unlike everyone's favorite fabulous Bug-type Gym leader. At any rate it's much more reliable than Flash*.<br><br>Teammates matter in this revamped tier, as Toast now has has checks (see the appropriate section) other than itself. Fortunately, these new Pokemon can also be used on Toast's side. The IBAWassertoast core (IBAW, Wasserbienchen, and Toast, in case the name wasn't a dead giveaway) has become incredibly popular due to the fantastic synergy between the three, but they must always watch out for the TeamReignBanana (Tay-Tay/TeamHeartGold, Reign, and Banana<strike>, you lazy Porygon2</strike>) trio.<br><br>*Occasionally, IBAW and Reign rely on Flash for extra hax, especially as Reign's ability makes every move with a secondary effect cause confusion, but emphasis must be given on <i>hax</i>. Livestream is full of overpowered Pokemon who should not need to rely on hax to win their battles.<br><hr><b>ExtremeKiller: Bread Edition</b> | Item: Life Orb | Ability: Wonder Guard | Nature: STFU | EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spe<br>~Swords Dance<br>~ExtremeSpeed<br>~Stone Edge / Brick Break<br>~Recover<br>That's right, Arceus' favorite sweeping set is also viable on Toast, albeit with a few minor changes to suit the metagame. Wonder Guard prevents normal-effectiveness moves with annoying secondary effects, Swords Dance and ExtremeSpeed are a dangerous combination on any Pokemon, Recover shakes off the Life Orb recoil, and Stone Edge murders some of the metagame's hugest threats or Brick Break hits for decent coverage.<br><br>Because this set relies on physical attacks regardless of the Pokemon using it, physical walls (Tay-Tay, notably) can cause problems. Burnt toast is the worst toast and competitive battling doesn't change that. Reflect is also a major annoyance, and though not commonly seen when it does show up it's one of the main reasons why Brick Break is even an option. As such, any teammate that can counter these threats is a good teammate, but unfortunately for you the author didn't feel like analyzing anything else in this metagame so just pick a Pokemon and see how it works.<br><br>Unstoppable can be chosen over Wonder Guard if you don't want to worry about those pesky EVs, but a Toast dancing with sharp objects doesn't appreciate getting burned, parahaxed/slowed down, poisoned, or put to sleep. Rock Slide is also an option for more accurate Rock-type coverage if you don't like Stone Edge's lack of accuracy, and another attacking move can be used in place of Recover if Toast is just going to murder and die in one fell swoop.<br><br><h2>Other Options</h2><br>Like the far inferior Smeargle and Mew, Toast can learn almost viable move, including the Livestream-specific ones used in Detsructoast. You could probably get away with using a RNG to decide on your moveset, replacing inferior options like Splash or Rock Polish for Livestream moves. Toast is just that Awesome ("pun" fully intended).<br><br>Additionally, the most (second to Toast itself) ultimate weapon, Newspaper, made its debut in the tier as an item that boosts the accuracy of OHKO moves, so a moveset consisting only of Snuggie, Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, and Sheer Cold (pick four, any four) is acceptable if not highly luck-based.<br><br><h2>Checks and Counters</h2><br>Alas, no longer can Toast flop down and die and still win; there's a reason Explosion was taken off Destructoast's viable moveset. Toaster-type was deemed redundant during the tier revamp, so anything weak to it (read: Toast, the only Bread-type) is now weak to Steel. Because Wasserbienchen has been officially released, the Steel-type Doom Desire and untyped apocalypse-bringer Wass Beam stop Toast in its tracks (er, crumbs?). Banana with maxed-out Speed EVs leads to a speed tie (seriously, did you expect the trademark unaware-pedestrian-flipper to be slow?), and if Toast can't go first it will fall to Emolga Hell.<br><br>Toast also doesn't appreciate Soak, which not only makes it Water-type but also soggy, a ridiculous status condition that negates its ability and rids it of sparkle. Fortunately this move is incredibly rare due to the amount of far superior moves that Pokemon of this tier can make use of, but when it does show up it tends to drown Toast in the sorrows of merciless ocean water and a stranded brotp.</div>

man, I still have 62 watchers here? either A. you people are all inactive, B. you don't care about watching inactive people, or C. you somehow like my art enough to stick around even though I've basically abandoned this website
but hey I drew a thing and because of Reasons I can't put it on tumblr, so have the thing. there's a bunch of other stuff I've drawn over the past.. very, very long while, and maybe someday I'll upload a dump of it.
or I'll just make a new dA because honestly a majority of the stuff I have here is Shameful OTL

anyway this features an original(ish) character, you probably wouldn't guess from her design that she's a Pokemon character but lo and behold I have spent the past couple years plotting out a nuzlocke sort of thing and whenever I get my hands on the canon characters you can bet there are going to be Changes

also fun fact! only used one overlay this time! and it's pretty subtle, I'm getting much better at cel shading if I do say so myself. cel shading and human drawings and just art in general. and I do say so myself because I'm awesome C:<

speaking of colors have I ever mentioned that my coloring method is "throw hues onto the canvas and hope it looks good"? because it is

BOY HOWDY WHAT A YEAR. Never done one of these before, but at this point it's safe to say I'm pretty happy with my art - which means I'm drawing more often and actually posting those drawings. So, after several hours of me scouring the trainwreck that is my pictures folder, here we are! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I don't remember enough to write a little tidbit about each month, but overall:
  • Pokemon was still a fixation at the beginning of the year, but it got pushed aside in favor of Steven Universe, specifically the character Lapis Lazuli.
  • Experimented as always, specifically with art style; dove back into creepy stuff with way better results than when I was into the PokemonFromHell thing, but also doodled more cartoony stuff on the side.
  • Also made an effort to play with color schemes, though most finished drawings tend to fall in the dark/saturated blue-green range (with no small thanks to Lapis). I have more than a few scribbles with interesting color combinations lying around; it's a matter of actually, y'know, using them.
  • Line weight is also a thing I've been messing around with, but only as of December so it's not that noticeable (yet).
  • Continued working on humans/humanoids; haven't studied animals in a while but I have been playing anatomy mix-and-match with the whole monster thing.
  • Scenery? What scenery/settings/backgrounds/whatever you wanna call it? Leave it transparent or slap on a fancy gradient and call it a day! ...Yeah, I gotta work on this.

Here are some links to wherever the drawing shown has been uploaded. If there's no link, though, it either wasn't uploaded or I've since forgotten where. >:T

Let's pretend I'm not about an hour late to 2016, shall we? :'D Template here.

As with last year, some notes:
  • Interest in Steven Universe faded towards the middle/end of the year and Pokemon has taken over once more.
  • I swear I'm still trying to shake things up in the color scheme department but I'll be honest, I'm still using a lot of cool colors. Same goes for backgrounds/scenery, but thanks to a certain comic, it's time to take a sledgehammer to my comfort zone once and for all.
  • Said comic is The Firebird Effect, which I started drawing in mid-late May and officially began on June 6th! As a result, I'm back to drawing non-human anatomy; I'm out of practice but it's been a good time. It's also been super satisfying uploading at least one complete thing once a week, more or less, and I intend to keep that up. C:<
  • Over the fall 2015-spring 2016 semesters I took a few art classes at a community college, which included figure drawing. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend; this year I'll be starting college full-time, which is daunting as all heck but overall I'm looking forward to it!
  • Most art has been posted on tumblr as of late, with dA being used for pieces I think come out especially well. This has led to me neglecting dA more than I'd like and I apologize for that. OTL

And if you're interested in the individual pieces:

January - dA/tumblr | February | March | April - dA/tumblr | May | June - dA/tumblr | July - dA/tumblr | August - dA/tumblr | September | October - dA/tumblr (not the exact links; keep reading) | November | December

2016 was alright on my end, which I feel kinda weird saying because it sucked for a lot of people and I don't wanna seem like I'm rubbing it in their faces but. It Was Okay. V: In any case, here's to 2017!

In place of an actual comic page this week because I only just finished thumbnailing the next scene yesterday, have a "little" bonus, and I have little in quotes because this is also the longest gosh darn comic file on my computer ever!!

You wanna know what this whole revisiting old characters thing is like a gift to my younger self, and while I was definitely influenced by the anti-wolfaboo crowd (as nothing more than a lurker, shh), I think I did alright, bloody chained dragon-hellhounds and all.

row 1 - A couple "speedpaints" because I really need too loosen up more in the painting department. Didn't time either but tried to limit the time taken. First is a blue dacnis, referenced from this photo on Wikimedia Commons, and second is the photo "Haunted In One Way Or Another" on flickr. I found both image links buried in my bookmarks yesterday (5/20, it's passing midnight as I type this description) for no apparent reason but I probably wanted to do a color study or something so ~ta-da~

(Psst, if you join, refer Archaeoraptor and I will toss you 100 food point.) These have also been posted on my FR blog, if you wanna check that out; as always, there are more scribbles lying around my blog that dA will probably never see. ;V
row 9 - And thus begins a saga that started around afternoon today when I went digging through google drive for a TFE tidbit and found an unzipped backup of art from my old computer. That dratini was my first tumblr icon and I thiiink I might've used it on the Nuzlocke Forums...? I was totally forgetting I have an account there, whoops. Furry on the right was one of my earliest attempts at anthro anatomy and, well. I hadn't practiced humans back then whatsoever never mind blending 'em with canines. :I I'm still not used to combining those weird limb structures, honestly, but I'd like to think I'm better than I was in... 2011? 2012? Yeah. Old stuff.
row 10 - Zero blep? Zero blep. Because after all these years I still remember how to draw that lizard, more or less. Red wolf on the right begins a little saga I call "shout-out to younger me and my shameless sparklewolves" - I spent a majority of my internet time pre-dA on assorted roleplay forums, yes. "Raizel" here was one of many short-lived characters who I wouldn't have remembered if not for the terrible icon edit just sitting in my files, and I know for a fact the original photo was stock of some sort but I can't for the life of me track it down again. >:T
row 11 - If not a roleplay forum I could probably be found on a pet sim. I got the two technicolor disasters on the left from Furry Paws; I forget if I spent actual virtual money on Alex and Charlie's designs but, seeing as I did literally nothing with them beyond saving the reference pictures, hopefully not. Meanwhile, significantly less technicolor wolf on the right is Auto Silouitt, yet another aforementioned short-lived character. He seems like a grumpy old fart though and it took me until today to realize the surname is probably a play on silhouette. ~The More You Know~
row 12 - More random designs? More random designs! I'm honestly not sure if Jinx and Ranger were roleplay characters, but the dramatically lit maned wolf was actually featured in one of my first deviations. Behold. (In other news, is it just me or do digital artists tend to go from aggressively watermarking everything to not really caring about signatures/watermarks to, if they get popular enough, needing to watermark everything as theft prevention? Funny how that works.)
row 13 - Last but certainly not least, my good ol' half-namesake Slade Auctor! looking grumpier than usual and now with eyes that don't seem to be slapped onto the face as an afterthought. And then there's a design that would probably be deemed an "edgy nightmare," especially with colors, but y'know what? You wanna know what this whole revisiting old characters thing is like a gift to my younger self, and while I was definitely influenced by the anti-wolfaboo crowd (as nothing more than a lurker, shh), I think I did alright, bloody chained dragon-hellhounds and all. (Yes, his name really was Massacre. No, I really can't drudge up a single memory of doing anything with him, not even making the reference in that one wolf maker sparkledog-loving youth love.)

So, yeah. Art! \o/

*Flight Rising commission, hasn't been posted anywhere.
February 12, 2022: Tumblr links broke, but I’m leaving the list above as-is for archival. March, April, and June are on the TFE site; May, August, and December haven’t been reposted anywhere (yet, anyway), and September features this dragon.

2017 sure was a year! It was a year alright. Quite a year. Yes. I'd probably have something more insightful to say if the last few months hadn't been characterized by a giant fucking time crunch. OH WELL. ONWARD. ᕕ(ツ)ᕗ

CHARACTERS IN A VOIIIIIID [AUDIENCE ROARS]

  • TFE kinda quietly died and was promptly replaced with an ongoing story project that needs a name, Doki Doki Literature Club hell, and (as of this week, kinda) a ~brand new~ headcanon-offshoot project that I have basically never mentioned in public before this description.
  • Although not particularly reflected here, there’s been a surprising amount of lineless and painterly stuff this year! Backgrounds happened once in a blue moon and not for larger finished work, alas—but for whatever it’s worth, I’ve been putting a stronger emphasis on readable silhouettes and having the style fit the piece. We’ll see where that goes.
  • At this point I’m largely done with art for school, but this last semester, I took a couple web design classes and it has fueled me. I’d love to make my own website sooner or later, once I figure out what to do with it; in the mean time, I’ve been messing with random standalone pages like an interactive height chart and a big ol’ headshot wall! Mayhaps art and web interactivity will come together even more in the future....

Big shout-out to the larger template; I can’t get away with using 500x500 doodles here, but y’know what? That’s for the best. And by some miracle I actually had enough finished work to fill this out anyway \o/

Aside from that: There’s been a ton of behind-the-scenes story development, albeit not shown here for potential spoilers and/or general sketchiness; I make no promises about what’s next, but I’m havin fun! Some FR commissions happened. For Christmas I got a new iPad with an actual pressure-sensitive pen; I’ve already been drawing a lot on mobile but now it’ll happen even more. Tumblr flipped off every blogger ever and in all honesty I’m glad to be out, but it prompted some good ol’ end-of-year nostalgia.

It’s been a reflective sort of year in general, really. Glad to be here.

Been listening to a lot of cyriak lately and at one point I got the idea to make something like it, except not a video and with birds. So naturally the best way to celebrate finally finishing the semester was throwing roughly 2 hours 40 minutes into this thing, with about an hour of that time being post-amalgamation tweaking. also I wanted a photo collage edit that isn’t like four years old for my portfolio

As always, avoided using pieces I’ve uploaded to dA already. Since there aren’t offsite uploads for many of these, have some ~bonus notes~!

  • January: (cropped) redraw of a shot from the Kaiji credits; I’m not into the series but I can’t get over how much the protagonist looks like one of my characters so
  • February: experimental doodles of phyllored’s characters, Aloise de Malo and Monty Claudere (links are to Toyhou.se pages, where they’ve been reuploaded with permission—among other character fanart, some of which is mine and lots more by other awesome artists!)
  • March: part of a larger sketchdump featuring Shady the Nocturne on Flight Rising
  • April: another Morally Grey character, Reynard Grey
  • May: “Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows came on the radio on a rainy day
  • June: assorted speedpaints/background sketches; colored ones are studies based on this song and this arcade, and the middle’s a random interior from ~my imagination~
  • July: ’nother random speedpaint based on nothing in particular
  • August: worm on a string, an original character belonging to ConductorA on ArtFight; I didn’t participate but saw a few characters in the running, and that one inspired me
  • September: sometimes you just gotta go ham on weird effects
  • October: 50000 years since last original character
  • November: random giant fae-thing based vaguely on this funky fellow
  • December: gift art of this festive fuzzball

Stay tuned for the second version that’s absolutely nothing but concept art. So much concept art. everywhere. always.

I guess you could call this Wolvden fanart in that the background forms of the blinding version are(??? kinda, vaguely, in the slightest scribbly way) Tala and the questing snake; both are relevant to my lead’s story, but this wasn’t supposed to be any particular character.

If you think this makes it look like 90% of my art this year was on a small canvas, grayscale or monochrome, featuring a single character, with simple or no backgrounds… you’d kiiinda be right? I have more experimental stuff but alas it is all #/hashtagSpoilers, so while I’m honestly not thrilled with this on its own, I did upload a buncha stuff this year. There’s a misleading amount of orange here regardless, and I do need to work on backgrounds…

  • The Project™ I mentioned last year is public now, gosh. I’m broadly reluctant to upload art related to it here for $variousReasons but some has happened anyway.
  • See note above wrt backgrounds. Maybe an informal goal for next year can be like, still having central characters, but with something happening in the bg that isn’t just a transparent or solid color void. Compositional dramatic lighting? semi-blended sketchiness? aaaaa
  • Clean lines are still dead, I’m getting a lot more comfortable with scribbly-looking stuff, and a surprising amount of lineless happened this year too but for that I refer you to my gallery.
  • Being an internet hermit is nice actually, 11/10 would highly recommend.

  • January: background practice, inspired vaguely by various Minecraft landscapes
  • February: Flight Rising commission (sketched in January, but I didn’t have anything 100% from this month that wasn’t story-related, whoops); looks like the dragon has had a makeover since, but aww, it’s nice to see my art still in the bio!
  • March: Lysandre Pokémon, but as a dragon
  • April: DnD character, Skein the Aarakocra. This particular campaign sorta petered out, but it was my introduction to the game and got dang it’s been fun >8D
  • May: messing with fur painting ft. Slade, as I do, and based heavily off the wonderful stylization of theloreath (please tell me that doesn’t notify them)
  • June: genuinely idk what this is, random scribble with dramatic composition because I didn’t have anything else for this month >:V
  • July & August: RP characters, both of which you might recognize from the “doge” dumps. July was another “ah shit I don’t have anything better this month” fill, but August I wanted to show off again because I’m still really happy with it >:3
  • September: oc lizard portrait for a classmate
  • October: bust for NightlyStorm678#4011 on Wolvden of their character Tavern
  • November: random lil Serena doodle
  • December: aaand finally, more background practice; drawn on my iPad, referenced from a photo of the Hawthorne Plaza Mall

No concept art version was posted last year, nor will it be this round—but if you’re really curious, I’m sure you can find a zip file around the web somewhere. ;V

Wanted to see just how much my style has changed since the 2019 version :D For maximum comparison purposes, I used clean lines and flat colors again, albeit without the slight color overlay on the lineart because eh that’s why.

Intentional changelog:
  • 1: outfit tweaks
  • 2: more forced expression, velcro shoes, somehow ended up less three-fourths more front-ish
  • 3: different/removed accessories, longer tie with stripes flipped, less glaring yellow
  • 4: simplified clothing rips, no hat-hair tuft, different green
  • all: pose readjustments, no mouth color or (ever-so-slightly-)off-white eyes/teeth, less circular pupils, actual height differences

*Calling these sketchdumps while not using the sketchdump tag (since I use that for... idek, have a link) isn’t confusing at all, what. …It’ll probably just be “roundup” next month.

Have I mentioned I’ve been trying to use more color this month? I’ve been trying to use more color this month. The gray in the background here is the exact same as the FA base, for Authenticity™ and also because it looked plainer than it should be on white.

Anyway, obligatory credit/inspiration dump: For the abstract cityscape-thing near the top, I had this on loop while drawing, but didn’t take any visual cues from it. Here’s that cool-ass “Deadline” short, mini height lineup is the sketch for this, might as well shill the Boyfriend while I’m at it, and the Eizouken screenshot is from this article. I would link the original Zero adoptable but that got hidden/deleted a long time ago, F.

HITS THE WHIP AND THE DAB

Whew, been hyperfocused on this on and off for three days now; feels good feels organic >8D Putting the art together (count the moving parts, blease, I dare/plead of you) took much longer than actually rigging and animating the thing; I noticed a bit too late that the framerate is janky (FNF has sharp movements but they’re definitely higher than like 6fps) and that speaker kid’s hands are clipping through his legs; and ALSO it would’ve saved me a lot of time to use Flash instead of fuckign,, Illustrator and then AfterEffects… BUT STILL. ANIMATED MY OWN DAMN CHARACTERS FOR A CHANGE. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT :D

The background was an afterthought and there iiiissss no real story context (this is not remotely canonical, other than the general vibe of the idle animations being in-character), but I’ve been toying with this crew again lately and wanted to do something with those FNF-inspired sketches from the other week. Got the idea to throw in a couple kids to “finish” the scene and bada bing bada boom.

Anyway I’ve shilled it like a billion times by now but still. Go play the rhythm game. It Fun

So I’m here thinking I didn’t draw as much this month as I did last, since my focus has been all over the place, but then this file ended up about the same length as April’s?? Wild.

But yeah, started out the month still fixated on ENA, then it swung to older characters, bounced sporadically back to polygon people and then also frogs, and as of the past ~week-ish, the figurative ball’s back with 2021’s new lineup. Have I mentioned that that started as basically an indulgent trash story? It’s still something of an indulgent trash story, but now I’m thinking about ~theme~ and also dying because the deeper it gets the more I want to make it another Thing, god help me.

Whatever, the spoiler filter is still mostly off. Make of the continued out-of-context development what you will.
  • Eyestrain concepts at the top were drawn to the tune of SugarCrash! because YouTube has diagnosed me with nonironic hyperpop lover now apparently. It’s not wrong,,,
  • Nana is much more chill listening, though
  • “sd_bbb lofi” is referring to this again, except using the original song name
  • shilling the funkin animation again, as I do
  • im love eels
  • Did you know the webcomic “Tails Gets Trolled” has an entire history and meme wall on the official website? I thought that was interesting
  • friendly neighborhood doggos are from this severely underrated animation; heads up for cartoon body horror (well, as you can see,,) and animal cruelty
  • also I just realized I missed a request, whoops. Come poke me for your own and I might even do it within the next month!!

REFERENCE STORYTIME
  • title is from this song, which I’ve been associating with this character since last month. somehow I did not realize the Pun potential until like five minutes before uploading this though, because the lollipop thing is based onnn
  • this dude! (MAJOR cartoon gore warning, if you scroll down.) all I really know about this series is that It Exists so I have no idea if this is an accurate character correlation or not but I feel like she’d be into it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • The actual main inspiration/repeat hell played while drawing was this song (the music video for which features Happy Tree Friends, and all the gory shit that it entails so I’m not linking directly). The lyrics don’t Work here but w/e it’s a bop
  • aaand last but not least, coloring style heavily inspired by (though not directly referenced from) this art. Fuckin love the saturated wonky shapes this person’s older stuff has goin on 👌
…that is a Lot of text for what was essentially a stream-of-consciousness doodle. i Gotta cite everything though it is law


edit: made it bigger (and threw on an unsharp mask) because iPad zoom fucks up my sense of scale/resolution

A little mental scarring before bed, as a treat.

The filename for this is “slumber party from hell” and I have no idea how this turned into sleepwear, but it did. It might have something to do with the fact I’ve had the sketch for this lying around for a couple days and decided to finish it on a whim last night, into ungodly hours of the morning, as one does. On which note, I need to remember to not color things on iPad because the color display (especially at night) is all out of wack >:V Overlay abuse it is, then…!
edit: actually this is really irking me so I might come back and recolor it later lmao
edit (2 hours later): recolored and reuploaded ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ original is here for all your less-chiaroscuro comparison needs; the purple got lost but this is closer to the effect I was going for

Anyway, this is not canonical in any way except for everyone being, uh, Themselves, and also this crew has a tag now finally: “unmoored randos,” which is kinda me riffing on myself for having Characters Without A Story except it doesn’t really work in the meta way (they did actually spawn in the context of A Plot, unlike some people,) but it sounds cool and is somewhat thematically-pertinent so W / E. I just wanted to have a better tag than “untitled story tag” ಠ_ಠ"

Bonus factoid: eighth person got left out ~~again lmao~~ because I still don’t know what their design is doing, but they’d be wholly desensitized anyway.

<div class="legacy-journal _2DahR _3bG54 _3if5g"><div>The first time I alluded to the characters from this thing actually being Called Something it was <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/a-flyleaf/art/sketchdump-03-2021-no-alignment-speedrun-874931330">this guy</a> and he was still going by the placeholder moniker “Jock.” It’s only fair he gets to be the first to have an Actual Name Reveal.</div><div><br></div><div>ANYWAY. OK. SO.</div><div><br></div><div>This is basically another “comic test,” in the vein of <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/a-flyleaf/art/hello-reddit-i-have-jaundice-890815714">this one</a> except it features an actual shitpost-free scene. Presenting things in chronological order is for Dedicated Projects, a thing which this is still technically not, but I’m having fun messing around with it writing- and art-wise anyway.</div><div><br></div><div>THAT SAID there were sorrrta some conflicting priorities here. There was going to be an attempt at crowd shots but then I realized it looked weird with the way I was lining it so it became Mass of Blob. (I mean, pov character is not paying attention to any of those randos, but it’s still vaguer in the first couple panels than I would’ve liked.) I knew from the getgo I wasn’t going to color the characters cleanly like ^the other linked test, but I’m still not 100% sure about having them all solid like this. Probably my main gripe with how this turned out is that it’s kinda muddy, not just in a color scheme way.

The first time I alluded to the characters from this thing actually being Called Something it was this guy and he was still going by the placeholder moniker “Jock.” It’s only fair he gets to be the first to have an Actual Name Reveal.

ANYWAY. OK. SO.

This is basically another “comic test,” in the vein of this one except it features an actual shitpost-free scene. Presenting things in chronological order is for Dedicated Projects, a thing which this is still technically not, but I’m having fun messing around with it writing- and art-wise anyway.

THAT SAID there were sorrrta some conflicting priorities here. There was going to be an attempt at crowd shots but then I realized it looked weird with the way I was lining it so it became Mass of Blob. (I mean, pov character is not paying attention to any of those randos, but it’s still vaguer in the first couple panels than I would’ve liked.) I knew from the getgo I wasn’t going to color the characters cleanly like ^the other linked test, but I’m still not 100% sure about having them all solid like this. Probably my main gripe with how this turned out is that it’s kinda muddy, not just in a color scheme way. Maaaybe instead of doing a line → color pipeline, I’ll try something like sketch & dialogue → block in values/colors → then lines, clarifying details where needed and leaving the rest to value?

Oh, and then there’s, uh, -gestures towards middle right- That One Bit. Theoretically it makes sense in the context of the full story, although I’m not sure how I’d want to handle that aspect visually. For now have this (which waaaaas done after the big panels, and it kinda shows because I was completely winging it on the page).

Anyway, the dialogue stuff (abstract speech bubbles + character “fonts”) is the most successful experiment here, imo. Everything else, take it or leave it. Definitely did not expedite the process in any way.

Inevitably it will take a long-ass time, but maybe with ample experimentation it will eventually take a less-ass time, and also still look cool.

TL;DR Experiment Failed (semi-)Successfully… 2!!

Literally did not sketch this at all, just threw down the some shapes and speedran the rest. I spontaneously realized/decided this character is a Doom player yesterday and had a minor conniption.

Not part of a new series or anything. <s>For now, anyway.</s>

There’s a couple things that spawned this:
1) I’ve been messing with designs for side characters (well lbr a side character, singular) for this whole shebang and accidentally started really liking this design. Like, too much for a side character. I dug my own grave with it by giving them a canid mask, though. (You’ll see this in the roundup tomorrow.)
2) In the process of going through old stuff lately, I’ve been reminded how often I used to just sketch out whole-ass scenes with no regard for overarching story. Wanted to do it again. Did it \o/

Took about an hour, including the “cover” at the end, all at 50% zoom. Total stream-of-consciousness. Used strictly B/W, plus one (1) layer of gray at the end, both to aid the perfectionism-avoidance efforts and because it’s been a while since I used that sort of style. Fun exercise >:3


Miiight use this to mess with a basic webcomic layout, just for the heck of it. Stay tuned?

Decided to do this after all!

Since I typically follow up on the previous year’s notes, even though I’ve been more active here lately and so most of this probably isn’t new:
  • Project status, project status… gestures towards this and yeets
  • I am not sure I’ve gotten better at backgrounds-as-in-scenery, but I’ve definitely been using more backgrounds-as-in-color-or-pattern; Middynos specifically has been a big inspiration on that front ;V
  • Fell in love with the square brush during ArtFight in July, have used it a lot since. Besides that, been thinking a non-small amount about the whole “using a style that fits the piece” thing, especially in a narrative context.
  • On a more personal note, slowwwly crawling out of my hermit hole far as leaving more comments & keeping up with people is concerned. Definitely still not touching Teh Social Medias, but y’know.
  • Also, the ENA phase feels like a fever dream at this point, but damn was it fun while it lasted. Half expecting Dream BBQ to grab my hyperfocus in a chokehold again, and if that happens I will not complain.
As noted in the 10-year thing (linked above) this year has largely seen the consequences/culmination of some ongoing stuff, especially in the latter half, all topped off with a mildly depressing holiday season.

Every so often I am possessed with the urge to draw Literally Everyone. As the roster grows this becomes an increasingly ridiculous endeavor. If you recognize a majority of them 1) you are legally entitled to a veteran’s discount, 2) what, and 3) how?????

Worked on this every other day since the 25th, which wasn’t intentional but a neat coincidence. No clue how long it took in total ¯\_( ᐛ )_/¯ Some of the poses are blatantly recycled from older fullbody lineups, others are unique to this and/or got tweaked a bit so no one’s exactly the same.

+bonus footnotes
  • 1px = 1", more or less; I insist some of these do not have Canonical Numerical Heights, but assigning numbers anyway can make for fun comparisons \o/
  • Proportions are probably a bit weird, partially because Pixel Art but largely because, as usual, I wasn’t paying super close attention to head:body ratio stuff. Also, hair is included in the overall height—hence the lack of hats on two who are usually drawn with one.
  • As usual for this sort of thing, the slouchers have been forced to Not Do That.
  • Had no clue what to do for the background so I just left the rough guideline-thign I was working directly on top of, occasional contrast weirdness be darned.
  • The two marked with question marks never actually got (possibly never will get?) numerical height measurements; winged it here.
  • Ranges from 4'0" (121.92cm) to 6'6" (198.12cm), both from the same story; median average (not including aforementioned questionable two) is 5'5" (165.10cm).
  • Time span, from oldest to newest spawned? Roughly under ten years. Fucked up!!!!!!!!

Anyway. Self-explanatory. \o/ Weirdly I feel like I don’t draw These Two Specifically, Together, a lot because their dynamic is kind of -flails around wildly- You Know. So this happened.

And then I started associating flag icons with, uh. [deep, weary sigh. stares dramatically into distance.] The Discourse™.

Anyway, I’ve never actually played this game but it looks like an absolute riot.

Slowly getting the hang of it, kind of; at the point where I know juuuust enough to get by and make something like this, but also keenly aware there is a lot more to learn where this came from \o"/ Still can’t quite wrap my head around those ArtFight models (weight painting is very weird, I did this by parenting the objects directly) but I think I’m getting there. Also, shameless bragging: compare/contrast one of my first Blender animations, from when the program was Gray Box Hell and I was barely in high school; completely forgot how the program works between then and now so it’s not a totally fair comparison, but hey! Animation principles! Can’t go wrong with squish ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

(In other news, since when did dA nuke gif previews. The tiny file sizes sucked a little but I spent Time on those square thumbnails, dangit >:U )

ANYWAY THIS WAS FUNNNN, 90% of the reason I want to learn Blender at all is for character animation and, while this isn’t animated in the “character actually moves” sense, I did finally wrap my head around weight painting (har har 3d pun) so maybe next time the model will be an actual not-doll-jointed one-mesh rigamarole \o/

There was a whole Thing™ I wanted to do this Halloween and, much as I could bemoan my eternal perfectionism paralysis, a more blunt truth is that I revisited a petsim I was really into like a decade ago, discovered a lot more to do and also a Halloween event, and promptly steamrolled my other interests in favor of this freshly-revived pixel cat addiction. The honeymoon phase will proooobably fade eventually, but in the mean time catch me drowning in winged cheetahs and time-limited tokens.

-coughs-. Er, I’ve made enough progress on The Thing™ that I do still want to share it, it’s just not gonna be as timely as it could have been :V ~~middle of winter halloween au y/y amirite—~~

Some general updates, since the descriptions of random-ass deviations are definitely the best place for this sort of thing:
  • decided yesterday it wasn’t realistic to have the rest of the AU done in 2 days so scratch that plan, but I’m still finishing it. out of spite at this point >:V
  • I know I’m like two months “behind” on roundups at this point but It Happens When It Happens; finishing ^that is my #1 art priority right now (and some doodles spoil the unreleased bits anyway) so roundups’ll be out when they’re out
  • both these things SHOULD still be done by the end of December though jfc
Anyway, despite the aforementioned priority thing, long time no lineart and today (11/30) marks the second anniversary of this story idea (and with it these two) spawning \o/ I always feel like I don’t draw The Main Got Dang Characters interacting enough; partly it’s because that's like half the story and spoiler avoidance is a thing, but also their relationship is kinda all over the place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Threw both those factors out the window for this, though; I’ve already drawn or at least alluded to basically all these snippets at this point & I’ve been wanting to do a dynamic-chronology-standalone for a while now, so hey, here ya go~

Based loosely on this older thing since I still really like the idea of it (two central characters + doodles off to the side) but I didn’t feel like coloring anything cleanly so you get SHAPES, enjoy shapes.

I love run-on sentences!!

This really does have fewer layers than the last one!! But not as many scribs that lent themselves nicely to being shrunk, so. Big File Is Big.

Also lots of links this round:
  • Thanks to Wasserbienchen for snowballing these two, and generally contributing to things that appear here and in other roundups ;^P
  • for the love of god please help me
  • what is love (it IS there. very, very faintly)
  • black/white emo referenced vaguely from an infamous Nosferatu bit
  • Wass rebooted Haven recently, it’s pretty cool~
  • You can also thank/blame Wass for introducing me to NovelAI, on which a lot more nonsense was generated but “I haven’t killed anyone since I woke up” absolutely obliterates me every time
  • meme of guy with baseball bat
  • expressions-as-dialogue-reactions use prompts from this thing, plus a later addition (towards the bottom)
  • random dragon? random dragon~
  • angsty lyrics near the end are from a song that I cannot find uploaded separately for the life of me, but it’s riiiight here. I completely forgot that I’d typed up the lyrics and saved them in a txt doc until stumbling upon it again recently, and I don’t really know what compelled me to do that but thanks past!me it’s an earworm again
  • look there’s only so many ways to have a straight-haired Asian(?) girl character* but like, purple? and gay? really???? (For the record I genuinely love it when my characters accidentally look like other characters, mental find+replace go brr. It’s fun :y) (*also this is tongue-in-cheek pls spare me callout gods)
  • Last but certainly not least, bigger & slightly edited version of that last technicolor thing~
So much for not uploading anything else this year, eh? ;V …Do not expect me to have a yearly summary done by midnight (in my time zone, which is in less than 2 hours), though. That said, in the interest of throwing bottlenecks out the window, might as well start the file ᕕ("ᐛ )ᕗ

Woo yeah random headshot \o/ Turns out, after some technical finagling and learning that I have apparently ground like a quarter off my original tablet nib (I’ve never replaced it since first use in 2012 but still), the entire issue was that I unchecked one (1) box in FireAlpaca somewhere along the line (“Zero Pressure on Both Ends”). Turned it back on and just like that, no more weird max-pressure-on-pendown dots. Amazing! I love technology :D

Using deviation descriptions like miniature blog posts aside, this is kinda plain but W/E been a while since the last random floating headshot. Cleaned up a sketch from December, took about 50 minutes, and recorded a timelapse since that’s a feature Medibang has now. (Link is a playlist because otherwise it turns into one of those atrocious phone-resolution Shorts >:T) Behold my convoluted way of doing those anti-overlap outlines, or something~

Based on a certain photo. Only nice and wholesome things here. :·)

A bit rushed/plain since I was busy today, but wanted to draw a little something for the occasion~ The lines turned out less “wonky” than they strictly should be, but I guess that fits in a characteristically perfectionistic way. Which was definitely intentional. Absolutely.

Time taken: 3.5 hours, almost on the dot. Each frame alone was probably pretty fast, but y’know, animation \o/


edit: Uhh, huh, does dA not let you fullview gifs anymore? >:V Ugh, I’ll add the link to this on my site later, but for now it’s late and I’ll have to tweak some layout things when I do (read: I should not code when tired); expect an update/duplicate notification tomorrow.

Random doodle that I liked but I didn’t feel like doing a clean fullbody or a background so this composition happened instead ¯\_( :V )_/¯ Static shading was an afterthought but layer effects are fun and all that jazz.

It’s weird drawing a baseball bat that’s not an intentionally-lopsided bottle-thing, ngl. Still exaggerated the width a bit too much, whoops….

In case you missed it (understandable have a nice That’s A Lot), I love these dumb kids and have been learning a new language and kinda just. smushed the whole shebang together,,

This gets a separate upload largely because I don’t want to shoehorn it into a roundup (10… images….), but also tbh I spent a long-ass time on it between the translation (both the OG that sparked this and comic-specific lines) and the actual scribbling ¯\_( :V )_/¯ Also something something this is why I do comics and art style shifts and all that, no dark drama only anime shenanigans now
(I had a stupid amount of fun drawing this tbh)

Oh yeah, uh, page with actual translation and notes n shit. That je all \o/

Didn’t plan on going the whole nine yards with color and everything here but ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Saw this version on my front page today (TIL Goosebumps fanon real??), artist actually linked the source, went 👀👀👀

FANON VERSION IS NOT DEROGATORY, to be 500% clear!! Fandom gonna fandom and people want Undyne 2, that one face gives off the vibe, I can get that (and I really cba to get mad about people’s character interpretations anymore); I actually had a lot of fun going ham on the exaggeration! (Can someone explain the “slap on bandaids everywhere” aesthetic, though?) Ironically this is more the character I thought I was going to get, too—I just got my heart pummeled into dirt instead :D

It’s kind of a wild change of pace, tbh, not wanting to go all My City Now on the source material (er, silly joke doodles notwithstanding). Actual canonical character development will do that! (Rambled about that on my site because I can.)

Anyway, I keep wanting to do this one fandom template-meme-thing comparing the actual cast portraits to how the artist draws them, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe some other day. For now I saw an A+ excuse to draw The Favorite™ and ran with it \o/


Time taken: 5 hours, over a couple sessions
Referenced a very specific art for the "canon" version, and nothing in particular for fanon but this post pretty much defines my impression (hence the pose shift).

From August 2. I think I’m finally crawling out of the artblock abyss, but earlier in the month I was like “hey, if all I feel like is drawing headshots, isn’t that a good excuse to do that one ‘the cast in your style’ meme that I’ve been eyeing for months.” So here are the people I’ve been drawing copious amounts of for like 8 months now, except all together in full color \o/

Copypasting part of the description from my site (though as usual, it’s extended over there):

Didn’t use the actual template for a couple reasons; firstly because I have no idea who made it (the version linked above doesn’t seem to be the original; there are faint traces of someone else’s art on it), and moreover because, as per the fanwork policy, I try not to use official assets anywhere. Also, thought it’d be cool to do a sort of style comparison, one which draws (har har) more from the game canon and the other with more of my own liberties.

Incidentally I figure the Headspace crew looks more or less exactly as presented in-game, so! Twofold comparison combo >:3c

Pencil-esque coloring style on the real-world took forever but was surprisingly fun! Relatively flat shading was ?inspired by (feels like the wrong word, nothing was directly referenced, but these styles were In Mind at the time) the official talksprites + Faraway fullbodies, as well as various art by @udtcue (on Tumblr + (not-)Twitter).

Time taken: 7h30m, most of which was probably all that pencil-style coloring. Turns out scribbling like that is relaxing, even if it kills my hand a little \o"/

As a side note I do not use default palettes for any of them, so skintones and such vary wildly across scribbles. The official art isn’t consistent either, though (relative value ftw), so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SCRAPES OFF 500 YEARS OF ARTISTIC RUST

Uh, hi, dA! As of writing I haven’t uploaded anything for 3 months, and it’s been substantially longer since I was last ~active. Haven’t even finished rounding up my art from 2023, smh. My hobbies took a sharp detour for a hot minute there, but I think we’re scraping back to the previous normal. Have a grub-lizard.

Uses a similar style as some previous dragons, but with airbrushing & gradients instead of blending. I generally like how blended colors look better, but as a “warmup” it did the job and then some. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, afterthought backdrop and all!

Time taken: ~3h50m. Features PolyjuicePotion’s Solregem, spotted via dragon drawing thread.

Anyway. Not a teaser or anything because I make no promises, guarantees, etc. etc. I've mostly just been revisiting the story while finally making [a site for it](), on and off. Also been a while since I drew something for myself, so \o/

Time taken: ~3h30m. Spiritual successor of sorts to this (less scribbly) prominent-silhouette-frame-with-dramatic-lighting thing and, less intentionally, a much, much older drawing of the same kid with a not-yet-bugbirda much, much older drawing of the same kid with a not-yet-bugbird.


I am leaving that “site for it” link blank on purpose. Someday. SOMEDAY,,,

Long time no finished standalone art! Got inspired by an unused storyboard. I’ve done a small boatload of style studies (and this face in particular, ngl) over the past several months and I'm pretty dang proud of how this turned out :3c

Did not time, but based on internet history timestamps I’d wager about ~5 hours on and off. A non-small amount of that time was painting sections of the face and hands that ended up getting covered, but it was good blending practice \o/ Have [some WIPs]. (I am a little sad about that inner eye area getting covered up because it's one of my favorite details but oh well.) Used the same brush throughout & tried to make a point of not over-blending.

TEETH ARE MY BURDEN


There are, deliberately, no WIPs attached. That is a problem for future-me reposting this wherever. …Although I do notice, now, that uploading up to 10 images per deviation is an option?? Kinda cool ngl. Shan’t be using it, but neat to know it is There.
