Matching mittens 🧤🩶🧡

Fanart of @cedsy.bsky.social's Pokémon Mystery Dungeon fanfic "Within Earshot," based on a really sweet scene where Eri (Cinccino) and Hopper (Pawmot) make matching-color mittens for one another.

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #pokemonmysterydungeon #pmd #cinccino #pawmot
Traditional art of Pokémon, depicting OCs Eri Maekawa (a Cinccino with shorter and more fluffy hair, wearing a blue coat and red scarf) and Hopper (a Pawmot with messy hair, numerous scars and a chipped ear, wearing a black trench coat and a brown armband). They are shown in multiple scenes: A dejected Hopper leaning over a table with a sewing machine and numerous incorrectly sewn orange mittens, asking "What's wrong with this one?" On the other side of the table, Eri is trying two mittens on, turning to Hopper and saying "...nothing. This one's perfect". Eri and Hopper standing in front of a mirror, trying on their new mittens. One of Hopper's hands is next to Eri's hair, and one of Eri's hands is next to Hopper's chest, to highlight the matching colors. A close-up of Eri and Hopper holding hands. Next to the two previously described drawings, there's a quote from the story: "I was thinking the orange for me, and the white for you. You get my color, and I get yours..." Eri and Hopper walking through the snowy town while holding hands. Eri playing with Hopper's face by squishing his cheeks around, followed by both of them laughing.

Felt like drawing one of @nakedkoops.bsky.social's OCs, Victor the Paladin Victini!

I'm imagining he's looking up at some sort of tall and ominous tower, full of dangerous enemies, before heading into it.

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #victini
Traditional art of Pokémon - Victor (a Victini OC based on the Dungeons & Dragons Paladin class, wearing armor and a red scarf and wielding a sword), looking up at something with a confident expression.

"I've got something for youu~!"

Another attempt at hatching! This time, trying to use different line density to achieve different tones, like Emolga's black vs. Minccino's grey.

Did it work out? Or does it just look like stripes...? Discuss!!

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #emolga #minccino
Traditional art of Pokémon - a fineliner-only drawing with hatching shading, depicting an Emolga pulling out a King's Rock from under their patagium, which is a gift for a Minccino standing nearby with a touched expression.

Octillerink 2025 - Day 19: Night 🌕

I wanted to draw Heliolisk for the "Electric" or "Day" prompts... Didn't get around to it. So, I got stubborn, and thought of a Heliolisk idea for "Night" instead.

Traditional art of Pokémon - a fineliner-only drawing with hatching shading, depicting two angles of a Heliolisk standing on a grassy hill at night and looking at the moon with a sad expression. The panels are accompanied by a short poem, expressing Heliolisk's thoughts: Upon each day's end The Sun - my dear friend Hides; and it's always a shame For, try as it might, The moon's not as bright And its light doesn't feel the same.

"DJ Pikachu" who the what now? I already know a Pikachu who's a DJ... How could there be two??

... Ah, they're getting along? Well, that's good 😁

Birthday gift for @pikab0i.bsky.social

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #pikachu #djpikachu
Traditional art of Pokémon - two panels depicting DJ Pikachu (a Pikachu wearing a pair of red shades with a lightning bolt) and PikaBoi (a Pikachu with a darker, more orange-ish shade of fur wearing red heaphones) meeting each other, surprised, and then later putting on a show together.

(Feedback on how I did with the hatching is very welcome!)
Traditional art of Pokémon - a fineliner-only drawing with hatching shading, loosely based on a scene from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, where Lapras is about to take Hero, Partner and Grovyle to the Hidden Land.

Story time with Nolag 📙🍪💧

Happy birthday, @nolagchu.bsky.social! 🥳

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #raichu #pichu

Additional thoughts and proper birthday wishes will be in the replies!
Traditional art of Pokémon - Nolag (a Raichu OC wearing a sunhat with a Thunder Stone on it, and with flowers in place of the electric cheek pouches) is sitting on a small bench, reading a book to a group of Pichu. Three Pichu are on a picnic blanket below him: one is happily munching on a chocolate chip cookie, with a plate of cookies visible nearby; one is lying on their stomach, listening attentively; and one is staying hydrated by drinking water from a cup, with a pitcher of water nearby. There are also cups for each Pokémon present visible throughout the scene. A fourth Pichu is on Nolag's head under his sunhat, looking curiously at the book. In the background, there's a green watering can, and a wooden fence.

Octillerink 2025 - Day 5: Fire 🦊🔥🎃

I went with a Braixen, because I thought the color scheme would be interesting to do through hatching.

Again, feedback on the hatching is very welcome!

Took me over a month and a half to get around to it, but I finally drew this creature OC adopt I got!

I'm bad at naming things, so coming up with a fitting name took me two weeks, but then I was finally hit with the perfect name idea: Heliantail.

Gonna draw this critter sometimes.

#oc #heliantail
Traditional art of an OC called Heliantail, a quadrupedal fox-like creature with fur green at the top and brown at the bottom, and a brown tail surrounded by yellow petals like a sunflower. It's depicted in different poses: standing, sitting, and lying on the ground; as well as in a tiny, simplified style. There is text reading: Heliantail • name origin: helianthus (scientific name of sunflower) + tail • based on the bat-eared fox • uses tail to measure angles of Sun rays for optimal sunbathing

[Pokémon Legends Z-A spoilers]

.

And here's Mega Raichu Y!

The blue eyes and "horn-like fur" actually look quite majestic, but the eye shape, and those FANGS... They give me major "mischief creature" vibes-

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #pkmnart #raichu #megaraichu #megaraichuy
Traditional art of Pokémon - Mega Raichu Y with a mischievous face, raising their hands to their chin and lifting one foot. The background is red, with a lot of lightning strikes.

Mega Raichu X! Despite viewing them as a bit of a goofball (/affectionate), I really felt like going for a smug pose and face.

I messed up the tail's lineart, but eh, mistakes are fine.

Traditional art of Pokémon - Mega Raichu X with a smug face, and a pose consisting of raising one arm, holding the other on their thigh, with one foot positioned as if in the middle of taking a step. There is a lot of lightning in the background.

I love your art, you do such beautiful shading and rendering - so it would be an honor to see my Raichu in your style!!
Traditional art of Pokémon - reference sheet of a Raichu original character. Title says "Rain the Raichu - OC / Pokésona of RaincoatRodent". The design is at the center - a Raichu wearing a yellow raincoat with three black buttons, two pockets, and black accents on the sleeves, pockets, and the edge of the raincoat and its hood, as well as a red scarf and an accessory resembling a sunflower (with two sunflowers, one on each side) on his tail. On the left, there are two drawings of Rain at a 3/4 angle, described as "Main look: hood down, raincoat unbuttoned" and "Depending on the premise of the artwork, hood can be up, and / or raincoat can be buttoned up". At the bottom, there's a reference for how the eyes should generally be drawn, described as "eye shape: slightly curved at top for most expressions," and examples of a happy, sad, and angry expression with those eyes. In the top right, the clothing is shown: the yellow raincoat, at three different angles to show the opening for the tail at the bottom, and that the black accents are only on the outside parts of the raincoat, not on the inside; the red scarf; and the sunflower tail accessory, with two angles showing how it looks on the tail, and a demonstration of how it consists of two connected semicircle parts that clip around the tail. Below, the colors present in the design are shown, with text next to the colors saying "regular Raichu colors (& fur patterns) under raincoat" and "raincoat, scarf, flower (Pikachu color scheme)". Below that, there's text saying "Personality: Whatever you imagine my personality to be... I'm curious what other people might think I'm like!"

Today is August 28th, which is my birthday! 🥳

AND it also happens to be Meowscarada Day as well! So, for a birthday drawing, the idea of "magician performer at a birthday party" came to mind 😁

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #pkmnart #raichu #oc #meowscarada #MeowscaradaDay #マスカーニャの日
Traditional art of Pokémon - two-panel comic featuring Rain, a Raichu OC wearing a raincoat, scarf and sunflower tail clip, and a Meowscarada. The Meowscarada does a magic trick where they wave a small cloth in front of Rain's sunflower tail clip, and as the cloth passes by, the clip is replaced by a real sunflower with its roots tied to Rain's tail.

Comic effects practice part two! Didn't mean to take so long between these 😭

Anatomy and lineart didn't go well, hence my frustration yesterday. Let me know if the effects are alright, at least!

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #sprigatito #oshawott #snivy #growlithe #scorbunny #piplup #buneary
Traditional art of Pokémon - a set of five drawings to practice different comic / manga effects: Sprigatito dressed in a scarf on a winter day waiting for a late bus, trembling from the cold, with the trembling shown through zigzag lines. Nervous Oshawott with plewds (sweat drops) emphasizing their emotional state, standing next to an angry Snivy crossing their arms and looking back at them, with a symbol like a smoke cloud (I don't know what to call this, someone please help) to show Snivy's annoyance / grumpiness. Happy Growlithe wagging their tail, with the tail drawn twice and motion lines drawn between the two instanced to show the repeated motion of the tail going side to size. Shocked Scorbunny with a manga-style realization / shock symbol. Piplup waving their wing gently, with small lines around the tip of their wing to show the motion, and a very excited Buneary energetically waving their entire arm, with the waving motion conveyed similarly to Growlithe's wagging tail.

A bunch of drawings to practice different comic / manga style effects. Motion lines, effect lines for emotions, that kind of stuff.

Feedback for how well I'm using them is welcome (and won't make me sad, don't worry!)

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #mew #cinccino #minun #plusle #pachirisu
Traditional art of Pokémon - a set of four drawings to practice different comic / manga effects: Mew laughing, with symbols representing laughter. Two drawings of Cinccino happily throwing a rock (it's the same Cinccino), based on the move Rock Blast, with lines representing motion. Minun and Plusle sitting together, with Plusle sighing and looking dejected, and Minun turning their head and reacting with surprise at Plusle looking uncharacteristically down. Shiny Pachirisu with marks representing them noticing the viewer (and possibly calling out to them? it could also work that way, right?), and motion lines representing them moving their paw to greet the viewer.

The Frism Prank

A scene from "Gates to Infinity" I liked. While drawing this, I came up with the headcanon that Emolga wears a blue scarf specifically to match with Dunsparce's color scheme.

Type Chart Silliness, featuring Umbreon and Espeon

I've had this idea for maybe eleven months now, and what better time to finally draw it than Espeon & Umbreon Day?

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #pkmnart #espeon #umbreon #eeveelution #eeveelutions #エフィブラの日
Traditional art of Pokémon - three-panel comic, depicting strengths and weaknesses of Pokémon types. First panel: Umbreon protecting a scared Espeon from a Banette, taking an agressive stance and saying "Back off." References Ghost being super effective against Psychic, and Dark being super effective against Ghost. Second panel: Espeon protecting a scared Umbreon from a Poliwrath, with eyes glowing blue as if about to use psychic powers, and saying "Leave him alone." References Fighting being super effective against Dark, and Psychic being super effective against Fighting. Third panel: Umbreon and Espeon embracing and screaming in fear over a tiny Caterpie, who looks up at them in confusion. References Bug being super effective against both Dark and Psychic.

Scorbunny has really limp and floppy limbs. Very fun to hold.

#pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonfanart #pkmnart #dragonite #megadragonite

What's that? Everyone else already drew Mega Dragonite by now? Well guess what, I drew TWO. That's right, two of them for the price of one, can you believe it??
Traditional art of Pokémon - two Mega Dragonite dancing together in the sky, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes with happy expressions. The right Dragonite's tail being visible in front of the other's and their left legs being higher than the right are supposed to imply they are spinning together counterclockwise.

Thank you for all your work on these two fantastic games, can't wait to see more 😁
