Learning digital art and Mandarin Chinese. Love drawing lil’ critters. ENG/中文
Today is apparently Flutter Mane day? Happy Flutter Mane Day! #ハバタクカミの日
The burger has a GHOST! WHAAAT?!

Flutter Mane is another favorite Pokémon of mine. A dubious and perhaps sinister creature

I’ve been doing a bit more traditional drawing recently, feels more chill compared to digital. My trad work can get a bit messy, but I still like doing it!

Some quick and dirty traditional Lucario from a few days ago. He's pretty fun to draw!

Here's a somewhat recent color experiment from a few months ago where I designed Xīngliú's armor and gave her axe a redesign as well. This was fun and I'm very proud of it!

Her armor is supposed to look like an "upgraded" version of the basic armor that Xīngluò and Hánméi wear.

Reposting this favorite of mine to reflect a recent slight change in Hánméi's face where I've removed her defined upper lip. It was causing her face to look very weird from the side 🤷‍♂️

Here are the traditional Mesprit sketches (of wildly varying quality) that I said I’d post a good while ago! Love this Pokéchu. The Melpert. Also surprise Ogerpon

A few more Mesprits in the comments 👇

Here's some coloring practice I finished not too long ago with one of my favorite Pokéchus!

This was great practice for figuring out how to color characters while utilizing a lil hue shifting. Mesprit is a great test character for experimenting.

Done! Thank you everyone for your requests!

We got:
- Ori (and Sein) for Squibbus
- Starwalker for Paraba
- Steve (from “Big Top Burger”) for Orio
- Ralsei for an anonymous fella
- Steve (Jack Black) for uhhh me!

This was really fun! I’ll totally be doing something like this again in the future! 😁

Happy birthday to @thatorioguy.bsky.social‼️🎉🥳🎉 This is a little comic I made for the occasion featuring two of his characters, Chip and Jest.

He's a really great friend of mine and an absolutely stellar artist. He truly deserves the world, so let's give it to him! Go send my bro some birthday love‼️

Thank you to those who have made suggestions already! I’ll get started soon! It’ll probably take me a few days to get these out, meaning if you haven’t suggested a character yet, there’s still time!
I’m away from tha computer for a few days, but I’ve got my paper sketchpad with me for some quick studies/sketches

I’ll take suggestions for characters to do quick traditional sketches of. I’ll try pretty much anything (no promises for it looking good tho), just comment it here!

Forgot to mention, I felt inspired to finally put this goat character on paper because a certain other goat character who I like a lot and who inspired my goat character recently released for a certain game… Ranch’s riddle…
Been spending some time designing a couple new critters recently. The goat character on the left is currently unnamed. The character on the right is named Aòsēn (奥森) and the fiery creature with her is named Guǐyàn (鬼焰)

Names and designs aren’t final, but I like them a lot!

Here's a drawing from a few months ago that I'm still extremely proud of!

This drawing marks the point when I started to find my footing with simple coloring and conveying visual information about materials, and it was also the first set of armor I designed for my critters.

...I can't believe it's been 3 months and I've been sitting on one of these since May.

A lot's been going on, so here's some simple joy. Keep fighting the good fight!

Fun fof sketch from about a month ago🦊🪓

Just getting back into the swing of things and haven't posted in a while, so here's an older sketch of tiger after getting thrown for a loop.

One of the main reasons his gauntlet was given those large wires is because they can be broken to sell that damaged look

Some of my more recent calligraphy. Running style is fun, but pretty difficult to get a handle on. I think I’ve been improving though!

Planning to see the #MinecraftMovie movie w/ friends later today. I’ve spent so much energy being fake-hyped for the this movie to piss off my friends that it’s actually looped back on itself and now I’m lwk a lil excited to see it 😭

THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST MOVIE EVER‼️🗣️

Fun expressions done at different times for different purposes.

Rabbit's name is now "Xīngluò" (星落) and he's received a small change to his ears to better communicate his star element

Fox's name is now "Xīngliú" (星流) and I just wanted to practice drawing her unique jaw
