DxP REWRITE - Fully Informed

Over the 2 years since Legends Arceus, people have learned to live with Pokémon more comfortably, & vice versa. There hasn’t been a whole lot of reconstruction here in Jubilife Village yet, as I imagined they put more of their energy into developing the villages at the survey camps around Hisui (which will eventually become the towns & cities around Sinnoh - there’s an NPC at one of the camps who says they were thinking of putting a village there). But they may be doing some building up, as more people come by Prelude Beach. 🍃

You can probably guess who taught Mizumi that habit of hiding her expression under her cap (hint: he’s in the last panel lol). As for what her reasons are for staying, that’s a story for another time.

WELP.

Day 1 of beach trip: I drive 4 hours, have fun playing in the waves, & the ocean ate my phone :/

NPC Ansy

Drawing BW2 Ansy in that last comic with a raincoat like standard Parasol Ladies made me do it lol. Definitely nostalgic, looking up BW2 battle screenshots for this. ^_^

Parasol Lady is a trainer class who specializes in weather teams, but usually rain. There are certain moves, abilities, & types that have an advantage depending on the weather, like Weather Ball (a normally Normal move that gets a power boost & type change depending on if it’s raining, sunny, or snowing / hailing). Castform is generally their signature Pokemon, along with any with abilities like Swift Swim, Rain Dish, Hydration, or Drizzle. 🌧️💧

You probably would encounter her later on in the game (whenever Altaria evolves, around 35), but beat her fairly easily lol. Her default dialogue would be about the weather, her dear Pokémon, or maybe cloud cookies. ☁️ 

PS: I didn’t know you can catch Castform in BDSP (very rare Trophy Garden encounter), & I can’t not have Sora on the team if she’s available sooooo I did some rearranging on Ansy’s DxP team lol. I’m honestly planning on just redoing these profiles eventually (maybe after Chapter 1), but yeah, just so you guys know lol, Ansy has her raindrop baby. 🥲🩵

hello! I just wanted to say I Adore your art style- you always make Andy’s hair so light and flowy! And you draw expressions so well! It’s genuinely really nice and fun to look at! And you just put in so much detail in every single panel I’m stunned! (I would be more specific but I don’t. Want to turn this into an essay lol-) and the backstory leading up to this is really cool! I just can’t wait to see where you take this! (But also like- take your time! All amazing things are worth waiting for and breaks are important! Safety first!)

(also- thanks for posting this here, I don’t have an instagram and I’m really really happy I can see this!)

Thank you for the kind feedback, & your concern! (lol while I’m guessing it was autocorrect, her name is Ansy, pronounced “AHN-see”)

The nice thing about drawing a lineless style is that I don’t have to worry about making clean lineart & coloring in those lines - that saves me a LOT of time. I do take days off, & have work or just daily life to give me mental breaks from the comic (though I often get story ideas as I go about my day lol) Also, to be completely transparent, I gave myself a generous head start lol, allowing me to work at a more relaxed pace. 🩵🌧️ (lol, yeah, if it weren’t for my friends there, I might’ve just moved here - IG < Tumblr)

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):
