One Of My Earlier Pieces Of Digital Art, And One I'm Still Proud Of To Some Extent; A Trio Of Pokemon,

One of my earlier pieces of digital art, and one I'm still proud of to some extent; a trio of Pokemon, just hanging out together. Why a Salandit, Golett, and Ferroseed, of all things?

Well, let's just say, those who know, know. And those who don't know, can at least appreciate the art.

(And they can appreciate the shiny version of the art, too.)

Here's another of the Pokemon I have! From my Pokemon Shield team, this is Tarnish!

By the time I encountered them in the leadup to Ballonlea Gym, I'd already had a steel-type (Corviknight) on my team, but who would ever turn down a full-odds shiny? In-story, my trainer-self encounters them rusted over in Glimwood Tangle, barely clinging to life as he rushes them to the Pokemon Center...

They survived, obviously. And I made sure they were on the team during the final battle against Eternatus!

About a year ago, when I went to purchase a new set of colored pencils, I challenged myself to make a drawing with every single color available to me. This piece was the result.

I've been a fan of Pikmin 4—speaking as someone who's almost finished his first playthrough—so I'd like to share perhaps my first piece of fanart for it, of a Downy Snagret. Made back when its existence was only known from the full box art image!

And now, for a blast from the past, these two posts were from when my family and I went to see the Super Mario Bros. Movie! On top was our first attempt to go see it—the theater was way too crowded, so we ended up waiting for the demand to thin out before actually seeing it, leading to me drawing the image below for the occasion. It wasn't too bad, all things considered.

A view of a gentle hillside path, with four variations in lighting thanks to CSP's layer modes: Glow Dodge, Overlay, Soft Light, and Vivid Light. Take your pick, while I leave you with this small tale:

"The Hill in the distance was the perfect vantage point the adventurer needed. While it was far from the highest, it'd give them some time to find shelter as the storm approaches, like a menacing carpet slowly rolling towards them."

(I lay no claim to the tale, BTW; a friend of mine shared that as a response to the original tweet, and it goes remarkably well with the piece.)
