So, In Pokemon Scarlet And Violet, There're Been Pok Portal News Events Providing Special Mass Outbreaks

So, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, there're been Poké Portal News events providing special Mass Outbreaks through the summer. First we had the Pikachu line, then the three varieties of Tatsugiri, now we have Wattrel outbreaks in Paldea, Riolu in Kitakami... and Comfey in the Blueberry Academy Terarium. You have to wonder if the teachers there sometimes have to wrangle the Pokemon outbreaks if they get too disruptive. Well, since I have a certain rabbit teaching there, he got tasked with handling a bouquet of Comfey that were bothering students in the Savanna Biome...

...It could be going better.

(No one tell him he'll have to worry about Beldum outbreaks in a few weeks.)

Well, seems like that's my first Art Fight in the books! Didn't do as much art as I wanted to do—time management is still something I have to work on—but I'm more than pleased with the pieces that I did end up making! Can't wait for to take part next year!

Here's a lil' Joltik explorer to brighten your afternoon! His name's Spindle, and he comes from the same roleplay server that brought forth Ares the Marshadow and Abda the (formerly-) Durant. It's long-since stopped, but I adore all the characters that I wound up creating for them. Here, he's exploring a more familiar setting from the Pokemon Games: Chargestone Cave in Unova! Or possibly Chargestone Cavern in the Terarium, which is more in line with his desire to explore new locales. ...Oh? I've already shared a Spindle before? Yeah, that Spindle grew organically from this Spindle, like how Abda grew from a Durant character with the same name. Though there's another version of the him that serves as an intermediary between the two, which I might post at some point.

drawing is so frustrating sometimes cuz I KNOW what I wanna draw but I don't have the patience to sketch out the gesture first 😓

"Beware, adventurer, if you plan to journey to the Akai Woodwastes... for those who survive in the fog, live only for fear and blood."

An old digital art piece! It was inspired by something I'd been doing with a friend around the time it was drawn (the location name is unique to me, though), and as one of my earlier forays into digital backgrounds it holds up pretty well! The adventurer does stand out a bit too much against the drab colors, in hindsight—were I making this today I would definitely add shading to mute his tones. (My sharing this here was partly inspired by how foggy it was this afternoon...)

I was going to say something but I forgot
