Why Don't We Start Off With The Guy Helping Out There? This Here's Ghostie, One Of My Oldest Characters.

Why don't we start off with the guy helping out there? This here's Ghostie, one of my oldest characters. He's a science-focused kid from a small town on Pequan Island. He may be a bit hapless—heck, one wrong lesson may have spawned his nemesis—but he always tries his best, even when he's in over his head.

When I say old, I mean it; I based him off of a sprite in Game Maker version 6 when I got my hands on it ages ago, and he kinda grew on me. Over the years he gradually changed, gaining mitts, a tail, different eyes, the works. He's a charming little fellow, one I hope to bring to other mediums someday.

Hopefully he'll grow on all of you, too!

Here's two more of my many Pokemon—Chenille the Eldegoss and Glacáin the Aromatisse. I caught the latter after he used Attract on the former, and naturally I turned them into a couple.

Chenille's battle skill isn't much to write home about, but Glacain is tricky to fight against, what with Attract and the Bright Powder I have him carrying. He's remarkably survivable when things go right!

And now, a selection of old hand-drawn art featuring Ghostie!

This is my Mimikyu, Denim! Unlike most Mimikyu, he isn't content with just a Pikachu disguise, and regularly creates new ones based on other Pokemon—mainly other Pokemon on my team, but sometimes others, like a Kommo-o here!

(The choice of costume here was based on seeing a friend post a "Pokemon of your Birth-month" picture on the date in question. April was Kommo-o, the rest were different fighting-types.)

Here's a little view of the desert wastes that Ica calls home. Not the most homely, and every so often they have to worry about mutated creatures intruding from across the horizon... but, come heck or high water, he wouldn't trade it for anything.

Onto the next character as I get things settled in. This is Ica, a little fellow who's young by the standards of his robot society. He's a mechanic by trade, but is also trying to prove himself in combat using a self-constructed battle mech he dubbed "Marchica." He's gotten pretty good at making repairs—not just because his mech gets dented up, but because he does, too.

Marchica—and Ica by extension—are one of my oldest OCs as it turns out; that drawing on the left up there is one from my elementary school days. A few years ago I redrew it, and provided a name to the pilot in the process. The design of Marchica itself still shows most signs of being a childhood redraw, though maybe in the future it will become more distinct.

Ica, on the other hand, was designed from the ground up since he was naught but a silhouette originally. He's proven a rather fun character to do poses with, and I've designed a few weapons for him to wield outside the mech—like a massive wrench and a blaster cannon. Given what dangers await in his world, he's going to need them...
