Concept pages explaining the process (primarily the drawing process) behind the Ingo fanart I made.

I love concept art and seeing other people’s sketchbooks so I wanted to make my own.

A short comic featuring characters from the Kirby series. In the first panel, King Dedede brandishes a very detailed hammer, saying,"You have my hammer." In the second panel, Bandana Dee holds a highly detailed spear, saying, "And my spear." The third panel shows Meta Knight saying, "And you have my sw-?!" He cuts himself off as the sword he wields is just a squiggle line. The final panel has Meta Knight by himself looking at his squiggle sword, saying "Huh." King Dedede, Bandana Dee, and Kirby are off to the side, silent as they look at Meta Knight in concern. Everyone is drawn simplistically and at low quality in this panel.

Galaxia! The sword of the gods! The legendary...twig?

Joke is curtesy of @krazycat6167.

At this point it's a mixture of laziness and amusement that I draw Galaxia as nothing more than a squiggle.

More instances of Galaxia the twig:

Galaxia the twig, being held by Meta Knight as he flies.

It's a foggy early morning. Akari and Ingo from the game Pokemon: Legends of Arceus are sitting on a bench at a train station platform. Akari is happily talking to Ingo with a sleeping Rowlet in her lap. Ingo is deep in thought as a foggy memory of his twin brother, Emmet, smiles behind him.

"Are you waiting on a train?"

Some context for the image under the cut:

It was common for Pokemon and items to slip through the space-time distortions. What made this occasion memorable was that an entire train station platform slipped through during the night.

Akari went to investigate when she heard the report. Despite it being early in the morning, she wasn't the first one to arrive. Ingo was there, sitting on a bench, deep in thought.

"Hey, Ingo," Akari greeted as she sat down beside him, cradling her sleeping Rowlet, "Are you waiting on a train?"

"Good morning, Miss Akari," Ingo said, blinking as if waking from a dream. "I'm afraid no trains will be coming into the station today. The tracks stop after a point, uncoupling this station from its sister stop."

"Maybe they'll be reconnected one day? After we sort out this whole space-time distortion stuff."

"That would be the most favorable outcome, yes."

Ingo relapsed into his thoughts, a shadow cast over him. A hush fell over the trio.

When the sun rose far enough into the sky to burn away some of the fog hanging around the station, Ingo finally stood up and readjusted his worn out hat.

"Let's prepare for departure, Miss Akari! It's an excellent day to make tracks in your journey."

"Yes, let's!" Akari sprang up, eager to start the day.
