Celebrating Pokemon day with my favorite Pokemon line the Popplio line

These three mean so much to me

If you're intrested in me rambling about my favorite pokemon and my adventure with it it tis here

When sun and moon was revealed I was a big fan of Litten. Fire starters were some of my favorites but as I got more excited about Litten I saw people talking about the hate people had for Popplio it made me feel bad for the poor thing I always had a soft spot for the underdogs so I decided I'd choose between Litten or Popplio depending on their final evos

Then the evos were revealed and I saw Primarina I learned of its design inspirations and I was so excited I've always loved mermaids as well as selkies and Primarina was everything I could've hoped for in a mermaid pokemon when I got the game I named my Popplio after my favorite mermaid Ariel

At the time I didn't know a lot about the friendship mechanic in the games and I would always give attention to my pokemon I've always been sentimental

during the fight with the first Hau's grandfather Ariel had already evolved into a Brionne so she had a fairy move to combat against his Crabrawler's fighting type the fight was at a 50\50 that I'd win I was really nervous because Ariel went second in the turn order and all my other Pokemon had fainted but when I thought she was about to faint Ariel's friendship mechanic kicked in she held on so I didn't worry and dealt the finishing move and I won I was so shocked and happy

Ariel even though she's only code and pixels meant so much to me when I played moon for the first time as a middle schooler it's part of why I love pokemon sun and moon so much as well

That's about all for my ramble

This time I'm doing something a bit different this is the start of some Sonic oc design adopts these will be free unless stated otherwise though I've come up with a twist

In order to get the oc you will need to answer a Sonic trivia question right I think this will be fun and I hope none of y'all cheat to figure out the answers

This times trivia question is: What was Sonic's original name?

Also as a rule of thumb please don't use my art to say or do hateful\bigoted things

Mad Father is a game I've always really liked the rpg horror style of game has always been a favorite of mine because of Mad Father I had an itch to draw this last night

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

I wanted to experiment with dot halftones so I tried doing something with the background hope you enjoy

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

Mario as a dad makes me very happy so I hope you enjoy this too. I have a silly au where Mario is Sonic's adoptive dad lemme know if you guys are interested in me rambling about the au

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

I saw a tiktok with this conversation and all I could think of was these two beautiful idiots

Peach: "I can't marry you! You're too good for me!"

Mario: "what does that even mean!?"

Peach: "you're too nice to me!"

Mario: "I-i'll be less nice???"

Peach: *dramatic princess noises*

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

I'd like to has a Chao garden

Tbh I kinda don't like how Sonic came out in the drawing but oh well

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

I've been feeling shitty with everything that's been going on and the thought of outliving the people who make me live in fear comforts me a little. People who hate any minority want them permanently removed from the face of the world and I think being alive is enough if we can't do anything to fix our circumstances.

I hope this helps.

I found the live version of Wait for me from the London Hadestown cast and the man who plays Orpheus made me think of Sam and Frodo I couldn't get it out of my head so I had to draw it

This took three god damn hours but I think it was worth it

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

One more silly thing before bed I wanted to test out the framing mechanic in ibis paint so I just drew two sillies with that kiss yippie tiktok meme that is all

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

I've been kinda garbage when it comes to drawing good poses so I thought I'd start using references to see the difference so i made this

Honestly I really like how it came out plus I really wanted to draw Daisy

Here's the reference I used if you're interested

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

Mr Video Game himself! God I love this cutie patootie so much man I can't even describe it.

Here is some art of him I did today I didn't know what else to draw so heres you go.

Here's also an attempt to do colored lines using a clipped layer above the line layer and I really like it.

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

I've been doing an art study on the Sonic art styles one of my favorites is the Sonic adventure style so I'm adding my attempt to draw the Sonic SA1 pose it was so much fun to make

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

I've been hyperfixating on Mario and Sonic lately and I gave Princess Peach a pastel goth outfit a lot of people make designs of Peach as a goth in the full black look so I tried to do something different

[double-barrel-paintbrush]

What is your opinion on Itward as a character?

I always really liked Itward in Fran Bow. He was such a comforting presence to Fran and it reminded me how the Mad Hatter in the Tim Burton Alice in wonderland was treated and I really liked that movie as a kid.

Enjoy a rushed drawing of him

more Curse of Strahd ideas you can steal {for dms}

(again spoiler warning for the campaign also sorry I haven't given out more ideas had a bit of creative block for like...a long time also dear god this is really long so brace yourself)

Gadof Blinksy is an artificer (maybe multiclassed?) that uses his magic skills to help make toys and also has enchantments on some to help protect the children of the country well as make his toys more fantastical for the children. {I kinda fixated for a while on this silly man and wrote way too much stuff about him. I imagine he knows spells like Mending for fixing porcelain dolls and like heat metal for making toys out of well metal. As for the protective spells these enchanted toys hold one spell and can activate once per day like a banshee doll that casts Alarm or a rabbit plush that can cast expeditious retreat. Spells that also work for this are guidance, invisibility, lesser and greater restoration, rope trick, darkvision, aid, sanctuary and so on and so forth. Cuz for the love of god SOMEBODY has to protect the kids.}

The consorts of Strahd each have a magical item that tethers them to him in a sort of telepathic link so if something happens to them he'll know IMMEDIATELY. {Part of my campaign is gonna be taking down the consorts one by one either from killing them or making them turn on Strahd. And something about my version of Strahd is despite the fact his consorts are only there to fill the hole Tatyana's death created truly cares for them so anytime one of those two options happens Strahd kinda sorta maybe goes on a rampage á la Vlad Dracula Tepes from Castlevania}

The Morning Lord and Mother Night are twin deities. As well as they're also deities of the past and the future respectively. {Just thought it'd be cute. And also to explain why the Mother Night gave Madam Eva her accurate divinations. The church of the Morning Lord deal in things like funerals and memories for the past. The church of the Mother Night deals with things like weddings or births for the future. Could also be part of why Baba Lysaga worships the Mother Night)

Father Donavich's first name is Gabriel and which makes Doru's last name Gabrilovich. {Just because Father Donavich in the module doesn't really have a first name. And neither does Doru have a last name so uh yeah.}

Some characters like Victor are now neutral. As well as Helga and Piddlewick II. {Thought it'd be more interesting if these characters weren't fully evil that's all}

The older consorts Strahd has like Ludmilla are full on vampires for he trusts her not to betray him. {This is mostly so the consorts have the full capability to betray Strahd. Both the monster manual and Baldur's Gate 3 have vampire spawns be fully loyal no matter what to the vampire that sired them}

A couple group names I came up with but haven't finished making the groups are The Coven of Blood and the Court of Rats do what you will with those. {Just thought it'd be cool}

The horses that carry Ez's magic wagon are named Rubinus and Safir respectively. {They're both words for Ruby and Sapphire in different languages just like Ez's name is another language's word for emerald. Thought that'd be cute}

Also Ezmeralda has a gun as well as a crossbow that shoots wooden stakes. {I saw somebody I think on youtube have the idea that Ez has a gun to give the concept of her being the future of monster hunting while Van Richten is the past I added the crossbow as part of my own spin on that idea}

The people with souls tend to be younger as the soul gets taken to a baby maybe within a few minutes after birth and sticks there within five years. {Cuz people die all the time in Barovia the opposite I think is also true that people get born all the time in Barovia. And because of that more children tend to have souls more often than the adults. The soul not really sticking til five years is based off the idea of people "gaining consciousness" around five or six. and also to give magic users a time window to try reviving whoever had died as well as an explanation for babies dying from SIDS as the soul had returned to the body via revivify.)

Wereolf Ireena? Just a thought. {An intrusive thought I had a couple days ago}

Strahd's goal maybe instead of making Ireena into a vampire bride could try to tie the soul of Tatyana into a vessel that won't ever leave him. Aka Vasilka. {As an add on to the idea of Ireena being a werewolf Strahd may see the fact she is one as a deal breaker because Tatyana surely wasn't a werewolf. Also because I think after four or five times of getting Tatyana and then losing her has probably made him and everyone in his court tired of the cycle. So Strahd would rather end it entirely.}

the name "mongrel"folk (not sure if I'm gonna have that as their actual race name maybe like chimerafolk or something) was an insult to the Belviews by the Abbot because he just despises the poor things so much. He also created the first of this race using the bodies of the Belviews and animal corpses as an experiment for making a flesh golem that was perfect for Strahd's undead bride. {That's honestly about it. Tho if I do call them chimerafolk I will have to probably hear Nina Tucker jokes so yeh}

Volenta has a fight club. That's it.

People in Vallaki gossip that Rudolph van Richten is in the country. Maybe making jokes about him killing Strahd. {Just wanted a reason for 1 Strahd to know about van Richten being in the country and 2 so I can have a bit of npcs making Chuck Norris jokes but with van Richten}

That's about it hope this helps
