I'm 30 or 40 & tired of online pressure to state specific ages while that info is tied to security questions. I may post art, & have a separate ad*lt art SN. DMs are mutual only, but u can reply to any post to chat about whatever.

A commission from a while back for @certomistle.bsky.social of his flying fox+tailed bat hybrid Solare, and his pine marten friend taking a flight!
A lanky flying anthropomorphic man flies with his wing-arms and holds a 'cartoon animal'/quadrupedal pine marten character with his clawed feet. The pine marten has leucistic head and some neck fluff, and looks scared with his tail puffed up. The anthro bat wears bright read shorts with a blue belt. Behind them is a lush mountainous forest. Lighting from the mid right offscreen implies a sunrise out of frame.

Stayed out too late at a rad halloween party; Here's the last pokemon inking challenge piece. The Muk and Ditto familly, in all-alcohol-ink-marker color :) I was worried it would need colored pencils because of limitations of purple in my markers, but the grey tone options worked well.
an ink (with alcohol ink marker color) illustration of 5 pokemon: One Muk, One ditto in Muk form, one small ditto, and two grimers. They are posed like a family portrait, inside a border colored like a wooden frame, and with a background of a large drainage pipe leading out to a polluted stretch of beach and a low, wide sunset.

& here's the still image! The light shadows on Lugia's whiter portions where also pretty reflective when scanning, so next you see me at a local event selling originals, eyeball it! (if it hasn't sold yet >:D) Just 1 more & then all the pokemon inking challenge posting is done, & it's halloween!
An ink, alcohol ink marker, and colored pencil illustration of the two legendary pokemon Lugia and Kyogre swirling around each other, with their respective 'eyespots' posed to be a bit of yin and yang symbol. There's a gradient blue field of color behind them and abstracted cloud and wave patterns bordering the top and bottom other their oval design, respective to their in game typing.

Today's pokemon inking challenge piece starts out after all the inking is done! Here's a process video of some of the layering of colored pencils over the alcohol ink marker colors for the Lugia and Kyogre illustration. Blues, like purples, seem very hard to get nuanced by offbrand alcohol ink.

Oopse! Forgot to post the still image of colored-in Electabuzz. Here he is before I post today's pokemon inking challenge piece.

And here's a still version of today's pokemon inking challenge piece. Claydol was a favorite of mine when pokemon go would still work on my phone. He was in one of my versus teams and has been in my rotation (hehe) for a while.

Today's pokemon inking challenge is the Nidoking duel, but now in color! The different game sprites also had different vibrancies of pink and green and warmth of belly color, so that's reflected here, especially with the blunter-point Nidoking's head and neck flushing with exertion.

Today's pokemon inking challenge is a mixed Ditto and Muk family portrait, where mom is a Ditto living as a Muk but is charmed to have a baby that looks like her now! Both older grimer kids wana hold the baby :)
An ink illustration, with digital asset frame as decoration, of five pokemon, specifically 1 Muk, one Ditto in Muk form, two Grimers, and one small ditto. They are clustered in like a family portrait, but all the Muks and Grimers are focused on the small ditto being held up. They are in a large drainage pipe facing out to a steep beach with an oil barrel half submerged in the water, and a sunset behind them.

And here is a still version of today's pokemon inking challenge, of two Nidokings duking it out in a wrestling struggle.
An ink illustration of two Nidokings (pokemon) locking horns and swiping their claws at each other. They have scratches in their armored hides, indicating the fight hasn't just started. They're subtly different in spike and snout shape, a call back to differences in in game sprites for the pokemon in different generation games.

Today's pokemon inking challenge is two Nidokings, with slightly different 'breed' differences mirroring differences in their sprite over various game generations, locking horns and battling for dominance.

Today's pokemon inking challenge piece is the color version of sushi-waiter Lickitung. Pink is a real tough color to get right with off-brand alcohol-ink marker, as many of them use UV pink in the mix & it absolutely over powers other pigments. So, this 1 has a layer of color pencils to adjust hues.

And here's the still version of today's pokemon inking challenge piece :D
An ink (including alcohol ink markers for color) illustration of three pokemon, Aerodactyl, Archen, and Remoraid. Archen holds the Remoraid away from a crouched down Aerodactyl that is sniffing at them both.

Painted a pumpkin tonight!! Dunno how long he'll last he was moldy and soft on the back so he got downgraded from jackolantern duty
A mid-sized decorative pumpkin, the 'face' of which is mainly painted white, with a clown design painted inside the white area. The design has two red circles for the cheeks, cupped by the corners of yellow over-painted lips. The nose is not a circular red hose, but more of a nose painted red, with red coming up onto the bridge a bit. The eyes are squished up half-moons from the smile, with blue diamond-shaped stars directly under them. Dark purple eyelids sit under large circles of light blue eyeshadow, which go all the way up to high arched, tadpole eyebrows. The remaining orange of the pumpkin is outlined in a way to indicate it is the fluffy clown hair around the face.

Today's pokemon inking challenge is Aerodactyl considering thieving an Archen's Remoraid (but what was he going to do with it anyway?).
An ink illustration of three pokemon. An Aerodactyl is crouched an braced with their tail while sniffing at an Archen who is holding a panicking Remoraid in his wing claws. The Archen looks worried and keeps his side to the Aerodactyl, showing no defensive posture, other than holding the Remoraid close to his chest.

And here's the still version of today's pokemon inking challenge.
an ink illustration of the pokemon lickitung, dressed in a quilted fold-over apron and holding three things: A traditional paper sealed sake bottle in one paw, three wine glasses in the other paw and crook of their arm, and a large tray of a variety of sushi held aloft on their large tongue.

Today's pokemon inking challenge is a yin-yang swirl of two orca-evocative pokemon with design-roots in historic arts depicting orcas! Lugia and Kyogre are two of my favorite pokemon.

My 'day' job is actually a night job and sometimes keeps me until 11:30 ;o; But this is the pokemon inking challenge illustration for the 17th! The color version of the desert scene posted just a few days ago :)
An ink illustration, now with alcohol-ink marker color, of three pokemon clustered around a tall cactus emerging from sand dunes. A Cacnea half hides behind the cactus, peeking around at a curious approaching Jolteon, who has left tracks in the sand in the background. A Fletchling perches on top of one of the cactus branches and watches their meeting. It is a bright day with a clear blue sky behind them, bare strings of clouds struggling to break up the blue expanse.
