DxP REWRITE - Forest Badge

DxP REWRITE - Forest Badge

The Forest Badge might be my favorite of the Sinnoh badges; it’s a visual representation of “森 (mori)” or “forest” (the character for tree is “木”, & “mori” is just 3 of them grouped together, just like the badge is 3 trees. 🌳

So Hokkaido (Sinnoh) is known for a few of their flower fields! One flower they’re known for is actually lavender (they’re hardy & can take the cold). Tried to show that off a bit with Ansy & Ikrit’s sweet breakfast in Floraroma Town, taking from photos I’ve seen of their rainbow flower field. Meanwhile Eterna Forest is where Emmet found 2 more of his team: Yanma & Rotom.

Hmmm, Cyrus does indeed have “evil team leader” written all over, contemplating in front of the “Dialkia” statue lol. At least they could add the Draco Plate with the Insect & Dread Plates they got in this one.

PS: yes, like in the last one, these actually are about where you find all these Plates in BDSP.

DxP REWRITE - Coal Badge

(Please see special note below!)

Part 1 of the Gym Montage, starting off with Oreburgh City & those first few steps through Sinnoh! Emmet tested Ansy a lot during the first few badges, much like Barry does in BDSP & in DPPt, but with Double Battles, & something better than a slow-evolving Starly lol. Oreburgh is where he gets his fossil Pokémon: Ballast, the now Shieldon!

Meanwhile, Team Galactic being more of a classic, Pokemon theft team, quickly learns that Ansy still nurses a special grudge towards their type lol. (It was super effective!)

⭐️ In case you missed our special weather report last night, I’m gonna be collabing with a friend from Instagram, Professor Case, in efforts to raise relief funds for Hurricane Helene & Milton. We’re thinking of setting up a donation & making little Pokémon thank you doodles in return. Luckily, I have a cushion of completed comics ready to go, so when we got this all set up, I’ll be ready! ✍🏻

If you’re in Milton’s path today, PLEASE stay safe! Whether it’s batten down the hatches or evacuation, do so as safely as you can. In the meantime, follow NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) for the most accurate forecast! Lots of love from your more northern neighbor 🩵

I feel like I'm missing something. Wouldn't Ansy be Champion ranked since she went to Area Zero? You can't even access the area until you beat Geeta + Nemona

Hi! So, I’m guessing you’re referring to this panel from Chapter 1:

As she goes on to say, she is a champion-ranked trainer in several regions including Paldea, but as this is her / their first trip to Sinnoh, she’s never reached champion-rank there, going through their League, & defeating their crowned Champion (my canon is that there’s more than one Champion like in Paldea across the board, the “Champion” in game being a final test like Geeta was). Does that make sense?

Basically, Ansy is a champion in other regions, but not Sinnoh, & therefore wouldn’t have been permitted to go up to Spear Pillar.

Trying to get a feel for the quick thank you drawings we’re gonna make when Professor Case & I got this all set up. We’re thinking 5 minute doodles, though this one took a liiiiiittle extra time…as it’s a little extra special! I reached 5K follows on Instagram, & here on Tumblr, I’m steadily on my way to 700, which is a LOT more than I ever really expected to get! Thank you so, so much! 878

Castform is actually based on a little weather charm called a “てるてる坊主 / teru teru bozu” or “sunshine monk”, which is a little doll made from fabric or paper hung up by the window to help pray the rain away. Sora & I are likewise Wishing all of you affected by the hurricanes to stay safe & sound with all our hearts. 🩵

Hurricane Helpers Collaboration 🌧️

Ansy: I’m teaming up with my friend on IG, PKMN Professor Case, to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts in areas affected by recent storms.

Case: As Hurricane Milton approaches, we’re creating special thank-you art for anyone who contributes to our fundraiser to support those in need. Details coming soon—stay tuned for how you can help!

From both of us, thank you! & if you are/were in the path of either hurricane, stay safe. 🩵

previews?

Hi guys! So, I tend to post little temporary preview posts on IG the day before I post a comic, & I’ve been wanting to do that here, too. But there doesn’t seem to be a temporary post option like “stories”, & I don’t really want to clutter up my archive - any suggestions? 💭

Thanks! 🌧️
