DxP REWRITE - A Familiar Face

DxP REWRITE - A Familiar Face

Ingo’s estimation would’ve been more precise (like down to the minute, maybe second) if he still had his watch or phone. ⏱️ I’m not sure how long it would take to get from Hokkaido (Sinnoh) to the Tokyo area (Kanto) & back. There’re Pokémon she can ride, too, some being as fast as some vehicles, so I honestly forget how I came to this number anyways lol.

Meanwhile Mizumi, like many on the Survey Corps,  quickly learned that to draw fast & accurately for the Pokédex is a must-have skill. Shortly after meeting Ansy at the Crystal Pool, she was sure to draw this out for her own reference, & for this moment.

PS: Just a small refresher about how Ingo would be reminded of Ansy when he looks at Mizumi. I thought it interesting how Ingo assumingly didn’t have any memories of his past until we (the player) showed up, & walked with him up the Coronet Highlands. He briefly recovers (& seemingly loses) memories of Chandelure & Emmet. That made me think that maybe she looks like someone he knew, & maybe seeing a picture of that actual person might help him remember more solidly. After all, a picture is “less ephemeral than memories”.

So, this is a great artist who has this amazing Submas comic called Redirect featuring Ingo & her delightfully spitfire OC Mari, & she’s trying to get commissions to help with moving! I’m moving in a month, so I get it 😅 Whether it’s a commission or a reblog, I’d appreciate you showing her some support! 🩵

DxP REWRITE - Training Grounds

This might be the first Pokémon battle I’ve ever done in multi-panel form. I actually had to redraw it a little last minute because I forgot Stone Edge is an attack from below, not above lol

I was talking with the mister how it’s odd that Rock moves tend to have iffy accuracy, which he reasoned is balanced out by their high power. Doesn’t help, though, when they’re facing an agile opponent like Glaceon (would‘ve been more evasive if weather moves & abilities existed in Hisui’s time - good luck trying to hit a Snow Cloak Glaceon 🌨️❄️)

While he still doesn’t have most of his memories (he has a vague picture of where he came from at this point, no names or places yet), I’d like to think parts of Ingo’s old personality started to come back, namely his volume. I always thought it sweet, though, how he drops his arms (because they must be tired holding them up in that pose lol), & smiles at us when we win. ^_^

DxP REWRITE - Recollection

*To be clear, he also remembered (almost) all the names Ansy mentioned in the last one, but since the conversation was about Ansy as the girl who looked like Mizumi, he only mentions her here.

A lot of people asked why he can’t seem to remember Emmet - I was gonna talk about it in these next few comics, not to worry! In the game, Ingo begins to remember Chandelure & Emmet, but seems to forget right away - talking to Volo about his amnesia, he says “I can’t remember my own home, nor my family, if I had any…” I feel like Ingo would’ve concluded that the “man who looks like me” was family, so I interpreted that as him beginning to recover a memory, but losing it. 

This can happen when recovering memories. My own circumstances were different from Ingo‘s, though I imagined some things are the same, like how memories closer to your heart, good or bad, are harder to get back & retain. It’s a process to be sure, one that benefits from having kind, supportive people around you as you sort through all of that. 🩵

“Head” Canon (lol)

Just me sharing what I think is under our train twin’s hats, & making a case that I don’t think Ingo is quite as bald as the internet thinks he is, even if I style it differently (he just had a bad haircut in Legends Arceus, & had let it grow out again over 2 years lol).

Maybe it’s being in my mid-30’s, I thought it funny how the internet fixated on Ingo’s receding hairline, but say nothing about Larry’s (my all-time favorite Elite 4 member himself who also has a high hairline). Then I thought about why, & came to this conclusion. Also gave me an excuse to draw the everyday businessman again lol. ☁️ 

I don’t typically reblog, but DANG.

Finally done!!!! It took me way too long and a lot of it is still pretty rough TTvTT

Here are the static twirls:

And now some process gifs for anyone interested (I exported lines, flats, and shadows separately, then added some effects in video editing):
