Pokemedia - Tumblr Posts
Yesterday, I saw a gal with a really cool outfit. It had the colors of fire with accents of purple. I went up to her and told her that I really like her style and how it would be so fun to draw her. She said thanks, then asked me if I was an artist. I replied yes, but I also told her that I’m a trainer on the side. About a short convo later, she then asked me if I wanted to battle her. I was reluctantly (mainly because I only have 3 Pokémon), but said yes.
The battle we had was insanely fun. My trio had to face off her Fire and Ghost type Pokémon. Things really ramped up when Iris (my Haxorus) faced off against her Ceruledge. We ended up losing, but the team felt satisfied from the fight.
I asked her if I can draw the top highlight of the battle, and she said yes. So here’s my rendition of the best moment! Cheers!
(/uj: This was an Artfight attack for @tossacoin7949 featuring their trainer OC, Morrígan. Thought I’d go above and beyond for it!)
And now to swap gears a bit, from OCs to fandoms. Pokemon is the one I'm perhaps the most active in, and Victini is one of my favorites. Even played Pokemon Black a bit earlier than the intended receive date of my birthday to make sure I got its event.
This picture I drew to celebrate Victini Day, a silly little thing I discovered on Twitter with Japanese users dedicating a day of the year to one or more Pokemon. So of course I drew a piece featuring them in their Liberty Garden basement home.
I also repurposed it for the Pokemedia subreddit, having it use my character Red the Victini—adapted from the one I used in my aforementioned Pokemon Black file. In the future I might put some in-character things onto this Tumblr, to provide a little taste of social media from the Pokemon world.
(And other times I might just do it from the perspective of my trainer self from my personal canon, and not the shared one of the subreddit.)
Here's two more of my many Pokemon—Chenille the Eldegoss and Glacáin the Aromatisse. I caught the latter after he used Attract on the former, and naturally I turned them into a couple.
Chenille's battle skill isn't much to write home about, but Glacain is tricky to fight against, what with Attract and the Bright Powder I have him carrying. He's remarkably survivable when things go right!
Another old piece of art I made for PokeMedia! Here's Denim, dressed up in a Staraptor costume, visiting Canalave City for a traditional festival! I'm especially happy with how the lighting came out, I lucked out with getting a good sunset picture the night I began working on it.
Finally, worthy opponents! Their battle will be truly legendary!
...At least, until they get too rowdy, I suppose. Gotta remember their naptimes!
(There weren't plans for a sequel to this, but when it was posted to r/pokemedia someone asked who the other members of the trio would be, and I couldn't help myself.)
Suddenly, a non-Inktober piece! Nothing like grabbing a quick cup of coffee to refresh yourself after a long day exploring dungeons. Featuring a Tamroast from Lockstin & Gnoggin's Kaskade Region series!
A Cramorant and his trainer, sitting in a park. As a matter of fact, this drawing was originally made for another Pokemedia post! Involving who? Well, as it turns out...
...Yeah, that little gremlin. Ares is a bit of an in-joke between me and my friends, he originated in a roleplay server as the manifestation of my character's negative emotions... ...Then, over time outside of it, he just became an angy little goofball. That tends to be punted. Often by my friend's Cramorant. The same friend and Cramorant that inspired this piece as well. He's a pretty fun character to use, admittedly. Oh, the friend? He's @kat-the-meme-dealer if you're curious. Pretty chill guy. remarkably chill. I would say more about him but he would kill me if I did /s
Happy Fourth of July—or, as it might be called in Unova, Founder's Day! Made this last year for the PokeMedia subreddit, since one of my characters there is the Victini of Liberty Garden, Red.
It's a simple picture, but I had fun playing with some of CSPs more shape-based brushes in the designs! I actually wrote up a bit of a backstory for Red as part of another PokeMedia storyline, though it'd be boring to just put down all the parts of the TweetGen thread I made for it—someday, I'll put it into comic form.
Here's the picture I made for this year's Fourth of July/Founding Day! Featuring fireworks in the shape of Reshiram and Zekrom this time! The background picture is one I took of the ocean near my house, the Castelia City picture is (of course) the official art with some skewing for perspective, and that boat is the Royal Unova model from B2W2, lacking textures because they didn't load into Clip Studio Modeller and I wanted to finish it in a reasonable time.
And of course, it has its own Tweetgenned picture to go along with it. If you're wondering what the background is for Red's Twitter avatar, that's the Pokeball I caught him in—a Heal Ball. Didn't put much thought into it when I originally caught him, but now I feel it's fitting for a Mythical that's likely experienced a lot of trauma over the centuries.
