thus conclude the second arc of this silly comic!

I'm going to take a short break from posting so I can rebuild my buffer, but the third and final act is already all planned out. I'm hoping to resume posting in January if all goes well, February at the very worst (everything is mostly planned out unless someone make a very funny comment that inspires me, and I've started sketching future episodes, it's really just a matter of getting things done)

Anyway, happy christmas if that's your thing, happy mandatory day off you didn't ask for but are getting anyway otherwise!

If I had more patience, I think this could have turned out really nice. But I am not a patient person at all.

Writing's hard and the characters aren't helping

sorry for the different inking style on the dragons. As it turned out, using that brush made it easier to draw them so I just... used the easier brush.

it's less important in the magical AU on which I'm currently working the most, but in the real world historical version of the story, Medka is very skilled at carving leather.

I'm not terribly good at drawing pokemons

and yet

here I am, wanting to draw more of them

[jaudraws]

@devouring-silence chikorita was my first starter in Silver, I always had a soft spot for it! And mimikyu is another perfect creepy-cute ghost type. Honestly, Nintendo did so well with it!!!

(also I'm gonna post those on the art blog now)

(for people who don't follow my main blog, I'm welcoming requests for pokemon drawings of whoever is your fave, bc I'm in a pokemon mood these days)

the trio's pose is directely copied from a Charlie's Angels poster, yes.

It probably was Wei Wuxian's idea.

partner asked me to draw the Medicine Seller from the new Mononoke movie, since we just watched it, and so I did

[jaudraws]

Of course if I did Medka, I had to do Actalus

Like Medka, Actalus isn't quite a trainer. He was just able to rescue and keep some pest pokemon causing problems on his uncle's property. He likes his rattata well enough, and his cutiefly, but kinds of resent his trubbish (but he still doesn't have the heart to release it, knowing it might cause problem for other people)

And like Medka he dreams of going on his gym challenge, but isn't allowed to. His uncle finds him useful to keep around for a number of menial tasks, arguing that Actalus owes him a large debt for having welcomed him into his home and allowed him to live there since his parents died. So for now Actalus carefully calculates every week how much of his debt is left, and looks forward to the day he's finally free to start living his own life.

I've been falling hard back into pokemon lately, so of course the logical next step is "OCs as trainers"

Not that I think Medka would do pokemon battles exactly. His family probably raises Miltank and Wooloo, along with Kanto ponyta/rapidash, and he's also more into breeding and raising pokemon.

His Mudsdale and galarian Ponyta are presents from his older brother, who is a very high level trainer and has traveled the world for competition. The Musdale was gifted to Medka when he was still pretty young, so he wouldn't be sad that his brother is so often absent. The ponyta he got because galar ponyta is rumoured to have a healing horn, and of course with Medka's hemophilia, his brother figured it might be helpful.

That is also why he was allowed to keep a Miltank as a personal pet, since their milk has some healing properties. And for the same reason, his brother is currently trying to catch him a Chansey, not that Medka knows it. It's supposed to be a surprise for his next birthday.

Although he has those Pokemon, and he's old enough to travel, Medka hasn't been allowed to leave home and try the gym challenge. He very much wants to, but his family worries a lot about his health. Until he can convince them otherwise, he dreams while browsing his brother's pokedex.
