Here comes another batch of Bulbasaur crossbreeds! Designs as always by @onemegawatt.bsky.social.

#pixelart #pokemon
Entries for Bulbasaur crossbreeds, displayed alongside designs with slight variations to Bulbasaur itself. The entries read: CARAPACE (+Shiftry): It’s often seen in Hoenn hanging from tree branches, pretending to be an acorn. LOTUS (+Ludicolo): This breed’s favorite pastime is floating on top of water thanks to its buoyant body and seed. SPRING BLOSSOM (+Cherrim): The flower on its back blooms every spring. Many use them for cherry blossom festivals in Sinnoh.

New crossbreeds have been discovered!
Tried something new with this sprite batch; which dex entry is your favorite?

Entries for Bulbasaur crossbreeds, displayed alongside designs with slight variations to Bulbasaur itself. The entries read: "BLOOMING FLARE (+Charizard): Its bulb has adapted to harsher sunlight, and is often warm to the touch due to the nutrients inside." "SPRIG (+Chikorita): The seed on its back is always sprouted. Its cute appearance makes it a common starter choice." "CLUSTER (+Exeggutor): Oft mistaken for purebreeds, it pranks predators and people alike by shooting spores from its pods."

Panel 1: Brawl's sona sits on a couch looking upward. She looks weary, as she states "Ohhhh god it's way too hot outside" Panel 2: She begins to deform slightly and she sinks lower in the couch. Her word bubble shakes as she says "I'm melting in this stupid heat i hate it" Panel 3: She is increasingly deformed and has sunk further into the couch. Her mass begins to form a puddle on the bottom of the panel. She mutters "hhhhgrbblbll" Panel 4: Brawl is no more. Only a puddle remains, as it seeps out of the panel and down past it, dripping into the white space below.

A handful of Twigs for your time

(OC by @welldrawnfish.bsky.social, ft. my OC Freya)
Twig brandishing a sword and wooden shield, looking determined. The sword has purple flames curling around it, as a green silhouette of a tall knight appears in the background behind her. Doodles of Twig. Includes her with a walking stick; her eating a large piece of pork, looking over in curiosity, and her struggling to hold on as she is carried by a human woman, Freya. A comic on the bottom portrays Freya, looking stiff as she holds a sword and shield. As Twig walks past her, she adjusts the position of the weapons, stating "Try to relax your shoulders. Holding the blade too tense means that it's easier to knock it out of your hand." Freya, confused, says "Oh, uh...ok." Twig continues, "And make sure that the shield is protecting your front, not your side." As Twig walks away, whistling a tune, Freya stands in the new position. She says "...what just happened?"

Been brainstormin a new comic idea I'm hoping to tackle within the next few months just to challenge my skill a bit. It's a story about acceptance and growth with one's self, and of course, transgender magical girls.

The background fades from black to white, as a new Mii icon appears. This time, the Mii has long hair and blush, and is winking and waving. The tag underneath, like before, reads simply "Brawl."

The boy now faces forward, his expression appearing neutral. His eyes are not visible. The captions read, "My anxiety pushed me to be...alone. And I was frustrated with being alone. I wanted to give something to the world, but I didn't want to give myself. And that led to me being a lot more forward on the internet than I would have liked." The boy from before has had his face scribbled out messily. The captions read, "I'm still dealing with the consequences of that, even now. The consequences of someone who only thought his art was important, and nothing else." The woman and the boy stand, facing each other in the dark void. The woman appears slightly brighter than the boy. The captions read, "... I wonder if my past self would be proud of who I am now." The boy and the woman are now hugging. The captions read, "I'd like to think she would."

The woman is now sitting in a rough approximation of a car, playing a Switch console. She seems troubled. The captions read, "Admittedly, it was a VERY spur-of-the-moment decision. I barely have the time to play my Switch nowadays anyway (despite my job being based in video games). The only reason I had a chance was due to a long road trip earlier in the month." The woman continues to play the console, although the viewpoint has moved to behind her. The background has shifted to a blank, dark grey. The captions read, "Changing it felt...oddly therapeutic? Obviously, gender euphoria played a lot into it. But a long of changes during transition take time--years, in some cases. It was refreshing (albeit corny) to have my inner self be reflected in this digital avatar at the tap of a button." The colors in the page have inverted from white to black. The woman has now been replaced by the boy from before. "I'm reminded of my pre-transition self as I look back on this moment. Back then I was an anxious wreck. Not to mention I was exhausted with myself. I looked to games to fill the void."

Self-Reflection (or, a trans comic on change)

Posted earlier this year at the end of Pride Month
#comic #trans #webcomic #transcomic #pixelart
Pixelart of a woman sitting close to a flag. Nearly everything is white, except for the flag, which faintly shows the transgender flag. The captions read, "It's been one year since I publicly came out, and almost two years since I realized I was trans." The same scene as before, but with a closer look at the woman. Her hair is frizzy, with ends poking out in different directions, and she is wearing a hoodie over a long-sleeve shirt. The captions read, "In that time, I've made huge strides towards my mental health and well-being. I'm a lot more confident. I get less frustrated with myself. My social circle has grown loads, and I'm making an effort to get out a lot more. It's a life my past self wouldn't dare dream of." Various blank figures stand facing forward, with one arm outstretched. Among them is a boy, with short, frizzy hair and a large hoodie that he appears to be swimming in, and the woman from before. The captions read, "...lately, I've been thinking a lot about how people change. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes for the worse. Never staying the same." An icon appears in the center of the panel. In it is a depiction of a Mii from Nintendo, with short hair and large eyebrows, waving. The tag underneath reads "Brawl." The captions read, "What's funny is that this thought came to me in the oddest of places: after I recently changed my Mii on my Switch console."

"Contemplation"

Artfight comic I did of @welldrawnfish.bsky.social's Twig character earlier in the year

#art #transgender #trans #comic #artfight
A small goblin walks along a muddy path toward a nearby pond in the middle of a dense forest, coupled with bushes and pebbles. She groans, "Uuuuuuuuuugh. This is ridiculous!" The goblin sits down on the path, close to the water. She exclaims, "In the past TWO DAYS, I've had to forage in swampy waters, eat raw tentacles, and sleep in the fricken' mud!" She brings her hands to her legs, curling herself up. Her ears begin to wiggle, as she blushes. She continues, "...and the worst part is I'm actually enjoying myself. I've felt the happiest I've been in my life..." The screen goes black, only illuminating the curled-up goblin, with a hidden, foggy reflection floating behind her, vaguely showing the colors of the trans flag. She finishes, "...but I don't even know why."

@beastieball.bsky.social just released yesterday as part of Early Access! I had a load of fun playing the game at PAX this year, so here's some art of the starters to celebrate!
