Haven't used Tumblr in so many years fuck, but have still been making art heh heh - here is a series from a few years back, exploring the use of limited colors, selected from photos - they're called palette pals and was a fun way to limit and switch up color swatches for character designs

Starting off my day 1 & 2 of #MisadventureMay with a sketchbook page of my protagonist and companion - Lutum & Noctis!! Lutum is made of mantle shards and Noctis is a rare being born when a falling star collides with earth.

Introduction

Hey! I’m Matt. Last year I started this fantasy/adventure art prompt, I only expected a few people to partake (mainly mutual art pals) but was surprised to see hundreds of people taking part, artists of varying styles and ages, interpreting this prompt in their own way with different characters and environments - I was honored to see so many people enjoying their fictional travels. So, It’s been a year since #AdventureApril was posted - now comes #MisadventureMay another loose narrative adventure art prompt, it’s up to you to create your characters, their backstories along with the world they inhabit!! For me, This adventure is set 400+ years in the future, my character is traveling out of their home kingdom for the first time, they come across new fauna n’ flora (some fauna drop loot n’ flora have magical properties you can store n’ use later) you meet new characters and travel to new kingdoms!! - Of course, my adventure wouldn’t be as fun without a friend to share my travels with so like last year I have a companion to adventure with!! Does your adventure take place in the same universe as the last prompt? or Is it an entirely new universe? All these aspects are for you and you only to figure out!! Share with your art friends n’ have an adventure!! Updates & Questions Last year I set up a Discord Channel for the prompt so feel free to join and chat with other participants!! If you have any questions, shoot me a message on here, Twitter or over on the Discord, I’m happy to lend a hand if anyone needs help!! :- ) ———————————

Prompt Guidelines

By the end of #MisadventureMay you should have a collection of 31 drawings that reflects each prompt theme by day. You should start posting your work on the 30th of April through to the 31th of May. The goal of this prompt is to create an imaginary world, from its environment to its characters. You can use any medium, any style, there is no wrong way to participate!! You can present your prompt pieces, however - quickly sketches, full-page illustrations, pin designs, sticker designs, etc. Do whatever you like, this is a challenge that should hopefully allow you to explore your creative process, have fun with it!! Don’t panic if you fall behind or start late. There’s no rush, post when you can!! post when you can. You got this pal, let’s make some cool shit!!

So a few months back I’d created a piece for a curated zine (@poketravelzine) where each artist would explore and create their interpretation of one of the routes from any of the regions that exist within the pokemon world, including pokemon and trainers alike if they wanted. I chose to explore one of my favourite routes in Hoenn, which was: Route 128 (underwater). On this route there was a submarine, as a kid playing the game I was like ‘shit this is so cool’ I wanted to be in that submarine, but I was quite happy to be chilling, diving with my Wailmer, aha. Although in the game this route wasn’t vibrant or overgrown with coral n’ kelp everywhere, I would always imagine what it would look like in real life, the submarine would be reclaimed by nature, coral and seaweed would start to grow over and across the metal exterior - as would rust. Magikarp would be making funny faces at the shoal of Barboach n’ Luvdisc, a Wailord would be grinning in the background too. Anyway, I can’t thank these art pals enough for allowing me to be a part of this awesome curation!! It brought back so much nostalgia n’ I honestly had a blast I never make nor post fanart so this was so super one-off for me. Curators and organisers: @allisoncarl @jean-wei @hannayoonicha  @meruz Thanks for reading n’ safe travels! Matt. :~)

Day 7 of #AdventureApril I lost my stylus again today and I feel terrible - so does this weary traveller, so at least I’m not alone
