DxP REWRITE - Jubilife

Just putting it out there now - I’ll be lifting shots from the amazing BDSP artbook to show off 1) how awesome the concept art was, & 2) what we almost got in-game, something more like Sword / Shield (DANGIT 🥲).

I also used screenshots I took to help draw out backgrounds, which was very useful as we go back to that time period to see what Mizumi’s up to.

The benefit of being someone who played Legends Arceus before BDSP is that I can look at buildings & landmarks with fresh eyes. The first moment I saw the Trainer’s School, I thought of a repainted Galaxy HQ with all the rooms & offices being converted into classrooms.

Speaking of schools, in case you missed Scarlet x Violet, Uva & Naranja Academies became one school with 2 wings (Uva & Naranja) after the separate timelines Ansy & Ikrit were on converged

PS: a couple screenshots to help illustrate my HC - obviously they developed the design in Legends Arceus, but the elements are there. I can easily see Kamado’s office being the principal’s office, Cyllene’s office being adminstrations, flanked by the science lab (Professor Laventon’s study) & nurses’ office (infirmary), etc. 🏫

Also, with this theory, the Pokémon center is in the same spot as where you also go to rest up your team: your quarters in PLA!

DxP REWRITE - Splash Plate

Ramanas Park (once known as Ramanas Island) is off the coast of Sandgem Town (once the Sandgem Flats). That’s where the Splash Plate ended up 150 years after Legends Arceus. In game, it’s locked behind Surf, but since they’re here, why not?💧

⭐️ BONUS:

PS: so it’s apparently Tynamo Community Day?? I DIDN’T KNOW??? 😂

May I ask who Professor Laventon is married to in your AU? Love how you draw him btw <3

Thanks, & well spotted! You’re the first to notice / say anything about Laventon’s wedding band!

So, a little lore here: lots of people think that Laventon is in fact Leon & Hop’s ancestor, going by their color-palettes & small design details (eg. Laventon’s striped trousers matching Leon’s champion shirt)

This leads me to believe that Laventon has a family back in Galar - it wasn’t out of the ordinary for naturalists to go on years-long expeditions to other countries during that time period in our world, so why not the Pokémon world?

As for who he’s married to, I was planning on sharing that further along in the comic, in the form of a small photograph he keeps on his person, maybe in a locket or pocket watch?

Open to suggestions for names - I’ve been playing with the idea that Laventon’s full name is something like Leonidas H. Laventon (like Leon & Hop were named after him), while his wife & child(ren) probably have typical British names.

Pardon the dust lol

Made some minor updates & edits on the Diamond x Pearl REWRITE cover, as well as the character profiles - added some eye color, & fixed a few mistakes I made (eg. I thought the twins’ shoes had brown soles, but they’re actually the same color as the shoe - basically I thought they were dress shoes, but they’re more like work shoes with thick, non-slip soles).

Honestly, it isn’t all that noticeable, but in case you go back, & think “hey, this looks different than I remember” that’s why lol 😂

See you with the next entry tomorrrow! 🌧️

Ansy PKMN Timeline

When I started posting Diamond x Pearl REWRITE on my instagram, I did quite a bit of set up for new readers, including a full timeline for both Ansy & Ikrit. The mister & I (the players behind these characters) have been playing Pokémon since very beginning (though I had a very long break between Blue & Black), & now we play Pokémon together! 🩵

Ansy was born in Kanto, had a very coming-of-age story in Unova, & considers the latter her home region. It’s where Ikrit & she live to this day when they’re not running around other regions (maybe in Nuvema Town, moving from Undella in favor of a little town still near the ocean but more affordable & quiet). She isn’t the strongest battler, but she’s definitely gotten better since Ikrit started training with her. Strange things seem to happen around her though…

Her design is often inspired by the female PC, though she’s often holding an umbrella as her trainer class is usually Parasol Lady (she likes rain teams, mostly Water PKMN). 🌧️ Exceptions are in Blue (Lass) & Sword (Gardener).

PS: So I got confused with which Legendary you got in BW & BW2, so while I just played Black when I realized that’s the one with Reshiram lol, I just rewrote White 2 - I didn’t realize the Reshiram you help in the game was N’s Reshiram, so I pretended it was Ansy’s Reshiram instead (as my hc is that players more befriend Legendaries than catch them like in the anime). 😅

PPS: the time skip between BW & BW2 is officially 3 years, but since I didn’t really want to jump from 10 (when I played Blue) to 22 (when I played Black), I made it about 9 years.

Sword x Shield

Highlights from Ansy & Ikrit’s first adventure together through Galar! If you want to see the whole thing, please visit my instagram at parasol_lady_ansy 🌧️

For this & the Scarlet x Violet series, I mostly just did single panel comics with a few 4 panel comics. It was the first time I really finished a series like that, so it was a big step for me as an artist, leading up to Diamond x Pearl REWRITE.

This was the first Pokémon game we played as a couple (apart from replaying X & Y a bit), & so this story is based on our love story 🩵 We met at work, & I confessed first. After a few years of dating & playing Pokémon, we were engaged & then married. Ikrit came to Galar on Professor Cozmo’s behest to study the Wishing Stars, while Ansy came a couple years back to learn about gardening (as the first run I did, I tried a different trainer class than my typical Parasol Lady, Gardener 🍃).

Small note: you might’ve noticed there being a year gap between the main story & the DLC post-game. During that gap, they went to Hoenn, Unova, & Kanto as detailed on Ansy’s timeline as well as Ikrit’s. Mostly it was to meet each other’s family & friends as they got closer.
