Hey! I remember a while back I read a fanfic of yours regarding twilight wings- the unofficial Raihan episode. In it their was an oc of yours, and I was wondering if you have any more? I like making oc's myself and it's fun to see other people's ideas and stories.

Hi there!  You have...opened the floodgates (in a good way). I have quite a few champion OCs. I’ll focus on the various champion OCs I have since I’ve mentioned this on my blog before the champions of Pokemon remain my favorite class of characters as they have so much potential as we’ve seen with Leon in SwSh. This is going to be a somewhat long post as I have 5 champions to talk about (plus there are pics here, most of them commissions from some very talented artists that I’ve tagged as I can’t draw)

(There’s Marsha and her starter/ace Rosemary the Audino with @hayleyb100 ‘s character Richard. Thank you HayleyB for drawing this! And if you guys haven’t please check out her amazing art and stories)

I’ll start off with the OC you mentioned in your ask...Marsha (full name Marsha Miller). She’s the Alolan champion that we see in my Conviction, the Raihan twilight wings episode (also shameless plug for my fic). Like many champions she’s a mixed type trainer, but she does have a slight preference for fairy types on her team. Unlike the SM/USUM protagonist, she actually hails from Unova but her family is military (her father used to serve under Lt. Surge before becoming a lieutenant himself) and so she’s lived in Unova, Kanto, and Alola. Before she ended up becoming Alola’s champion, she was content with being head of the cheer squad at her high school while in Kanto (before her family announced moving again and she was needless to say, quite upset at the prospect of throwing away her cheer captain title). Back when she lived in Unova, she would often stop by her grandparents herbalist shop to learn about various medicinal herbs.

I hint to this a bit in my Convictions fic when Marsha asks Raihan a question about him becoming champion elsewhere, but Marsha has a huge bout of imposter syndrome from being the first ever champion of Alola as she doesn’t feel like she measures up to the legends like Red or Blue or known superstar champions like Leon and Cynthia. A lot of her character growth comes after she wins the title as she learns to work with Kukui to help build up the Alola League and make it famous. Luckily she happens to be a pretty friendly, if somewhat reserved character making it easy for her to befriend the likes of Leon and Raihan (and she also gets them to be a couple). Both Leon and Raihan give her tips they’ve learned from being in Galar to help boost the reputation of the Alola League. Back in Alola she is good friends with Mallow, Plumeria and Mina as they often visit Mallow’s restaurant to eat and catch up. She ends up being a big sister friend to Gladion, Lillie and Hau (being in her late teens when she first met the kids) as well as Iris when she meets her at the champion’s conference. 

(Credit to @roseltheteacup for this amazing sugimori style artpiece of Calla. Please check out rosel’s artwork as well) 

The next one is my probably my most well-developed champion OC and my version of Victor/Gloria...Calla Okoro. She’s the Sword Hero of Galar to go with Hop’s Shield Hero. Calla is a baby genius with an IQ of 162 (so she’d qualify for MENSA in the real world) and graduated college at the age of 12 with a degree in chemistry, a year before she ends up taking on the gym challenge. Her favorite type is poison and she decided that she would take on the gym challenge by using only Poison types, refusing a starter from Leon to train up her Budew and other poison types she found along the way. 

Her knowledge of poison types would become very useful towards the end of the challenge and Eternatus awakening and possessing Leon , however this girl struggled so much at the beginning as the poison types she caught don’t really get good until they evolve. It was also a testament to having book knowledge of Pokemon and type advantages doesn’t equate to automatically winning a battle. She struggled especially at Kabu’s gym, resulting in her first official loss (outside of losing her second battle to Hop at Magnolia’s house due to his Rookidee being super effective against her Budew nicknamed Sabi). Calla is persistent though and patient so she worked with her team developing a killer toxic stall strategy (that helped her be the first person to take Leon down). As champion Calla uses her position to promote science and eventually goes back to school to get PhD, becoming the first Galar champion to also be a professor. When Calla is not doing Pokemon battles or giving science demos, she tends to enjoy doing backflip competitions with Gordie or rocking out at Piers’ concerts with Marnie and Hop and Bede (Bede will deny hanging out with them) 

(thank you RPG Picrew, I have yet to get official commissioned work of him done) 

This is Jabari Revere, my Kalos champion OC and part of the Kalos 5. I’m still working on his backstory and personality as I replay Pokemon Y (I tend to replay the games for my champion OCs to build up their teams and get a sense for the personality). Jabari is a water type champion who enjoys his days swimming in the ocean and surfing on his Mantine, nicknamed Monterey. Like Serena from the anime he is a bit at odds with his mother Grace for wanting him to take up the family tradiiton of Rhyhorn racing. However unlike anipoke!Serena, he did have a goal of training water type Pokemon with the aim of becoming a water type champion just like Wallace from Hoenn. Jabari is definitely an easy going fellow, which helps him befriend Serena, Tierno, Trevor and Shauna as well as Grant and Clemont. Unlike my Galar champion Calla, he is more willing to use Pokemon other than water types, such as when he fought Korrina at the Mega Evolution tower using the Lucario who was attracted to his aura, or when he rescued Yveltal from Team flare and let it get revenge on Lysandre 

(this piece was done by @snowythesoft aka ChibiGirl! Thank you again for this and also please check out her art as well)

Yes, you’re looking at a robot. His name is Valen and is actually my first non-self insert Pokemon OC. After watching the first Pokemon movie and seeing Mewtwo be a Pokemon trainer, and also after watching the Watson computer on Jeopardy, I came up with the idea of “what if someone made a robot as a Pokemon trainer”. Hence Valen, the world champion of my version of the Pokemon World

Created by Molayne and Sophocles at the request of Red and Blue as a new fixture for the battle tree, Valen quickly began to learn from the some of the strongest trainers how to battle (with a frequent opponent being Marsha as she needed someone who could challenge her in battle). Once he figured out how to consistently beat the likes of Red, Blue and Marsha in battle...it was a wrap. Valen travelled to every known region and soon became the undisputed most powerful trainer in the world defeating every last living champion. He even took on Leon, Cynthia and Red in a triple battle and won. Despite his absolutely monstrous skill Valen is an absolute sweetheart and always compliments his opponents in battle. He also loves bowties, with his first gift being the red bowtie he sports from Sophocles do not touch or harm that bowtie if you value your life, it’s one of the few things that will actually piss off this gentle giant of a robot.

So this is my final non-self insert champion OC,  His Royal Highness Jack, Duke of Stow-On-Side. In a discord server and on some messages here on tumblr, I’ve described Jack as the unholy combination of Caillou and Jack the Ripper.  Jack hails from a disgraced family of aura guardians who learned that they could use their aura powers to create shadow Pokemon. 150 years prior to the main Sword and Shield story line his family managed to beat back the Hammerlocke Royal family (aka the great Raihan’s family) from Stow-On-Side and Ballonlea to claim the two towns for themselves. When Peony stepped down as champion Jack ended up taking the champion title. Now Jack is actually a legitimately powerful trainer without the need to shadowfy his Pokemon, but he does so anyway to ensure absolute control and to hopefully make his royal family the absolute rulers of Galar (his actions would years later inspire Sordward and Shieldbert, the Dukes of Motostoke). He even bribed gym leaders to be extra difficult on challengers he deemed to be a threat (so Leon, Raihan, Nessa and Sonia got hit hard with this).

Jack’s misdeeds are pretty vast. The reason why Sonia is so unconfident in her battling skills? Jack ambushed her in the wild area and destroyed her in a match while mocking her. Why does Leon have that perfect image as champion? He’s trying to build back the reputation the Galar league has after Jack nearly destroyed it’s rep on the world stage with his actions. Why are Leon and Sonia so insistent on you focusing on the gym challenge and leaving the problems to the adults? The adults during their gym challenge were either on Jack’s side or were actually useless against him and his shadow Pokemon. To quote my friends in an rp server I’m in “Jack is the absolute worst”  So that’s all of the champion OCs I have. As I continue to write more fanfic will definitely see all of them pop up in various stories.

Heyyy first “art” in a while

ALSO THE FIRST ART ON THE NEW TABLET MY FAMILY GOT FOR ME??? Ya’ll I need a minute I am b l e s s e d. My tablet that I used for art was fucked and my fam found out I was saving for a new one and for my birthday they each pitched in??? To get it for me???? I am so overwhelmed

AND SINCE I was saving money for it, I now have extra savings, I can go a l l out on christmas for them! (and using the extra for baking ingredients- I’m baking for my nephew’s birthday party this year :D)

I am well aware that’s not the point of gift giving, but I’m not making it a competition about gifts and it’s really only don’t usually have the extra money, this time I do :) And it’s bc of them so it’s going towards them

ANYWAY

Didn’t do shit for Halloween, which is sad bc I wanted to, but this year has been hectic (and that’s only mentioning my own small personal bubble), and also I’ve been sick, and- oh fuck it’s my birthday

I’m not going anywhere since I’m still JUST recovering but I’ll be with my dad which is nice, and some of the close fam will hopefully be coming down. I don’t exactly have anyone else I would invite. Well, like two, but one is in another country… Ya’ll know the pain of having online friends far from you.

Anyway, enjoy this bullshit. Hopefully now that I can (digitally) draw again, I’ll get persona/character redesigns done soon and can get to drawing more. I have less time than I used to, since I need to prepare the house for “renovations” and I’m volunteering each week.

It doesn’t seem like much, except when you’re neurodivergent and can’t function. If I have one event for a week, I cannot function for the rest of that week, it’s horrific, I’m working on it.

ALSO if my art didn’t have problems before, it’s gonna be WORSE now that I’m working around new settings and having not drawn in a while

Stay tuned for the chaos

[your-generic-art-blog]

Wow a post within a month of each other absolutely shaken

Anyway, I am yet again, running low on sleep bc my body hates me and my emotional state is rather erratic, so do forgive me for any strange lines in this post

So I drew this yesterday while cooking dinner.

At 10 in the morning.

After doing cleaning since 4am which included deep cleaning multiple rooms out of sheer spite of my mother, who I’ve been staying with recently, giving me snarky remarks that I do nothing around the house (a lie) and then leaving to her sisters for the night.

Which is probs why she did it, to make me do things but fuck it.

And then when she came back yesterday she got mad at me again as I was telling her I felt ill, she then left the house again and I got so pathetically upset I cried and then fell asleep at 4pm and woke up to her frantically asking me if I was okay at 2am bc I never sleep that long.

My body is severely confused.

I did not burn the food btw, I just had the thought of “what if I burn the fuck out of this” while waiting for chicken to cook and then giggled deliriously about it, which led to me drawing this whilst waiting.

Idk why I didn’t post it yesterday.

Also I need a new drawing tablet, mines has so many issues I don’t even have the place to discuss it here adkalsfdjepiruv

[your-generic-art-blog]

Everything is a mess. Have some art!

🎶My life falliiiiiinnnngggg apaaaaaaaaaart It was clear from theeee staaaaaaaaaaart🎶

Can you tell I have not slept

Not going into detail- my personal life is trying to fuck me over, so much shit has happened in the past (2) year(s), not acknowledging this week and I just- ugh

ANYWAY ENOUGH ABOUT MY DEPRESSION

(Read more)

I was baking for my grandpa’s birthday earlier this week and all was well and good and until I fuckin G GRATED MY KNUCKLE OFF

It bled for two hours and the wound had still not healed

It hurts like (a bitch) me

So I made this dumbass drawing while making dinner last night

I swear it started off as a doodle… then it just kept going

But I didn’t care about quality so some lines are sketchy, the anatomy is whatever the hell it wants to be and the shading is shit. What can ya do

In all fairness, the quality level isn’t off my usual stuff haha (finger guns bc I use humour to cope but I am severely not funny)

AND YES I AM STILL WORKING ON MARSHA’S REDESIGN, I JUST TAKE 27 YEARS TO FUNCTION LET ALONE ART EIFHVEUIWRHVUG

God I need to pull myself together

[your-generic-art-blog]

SPEEDPAINT

(This is long af I'm so fucking sorry-)

Okay I know it's still got some issues but I'm actually pretty proud of this one!

I think things like how I did my hair shading is the best it's looked in...

Well, forever

Anyway--

So I did some... "reflecting" shall we call it about a month or two ago (it's actually been since like July but shhhhhh) and found out some new things about me.

Things like my sexuality.

Ya thought I had figured out?

hAH

I'M STILL NOT EVEN DONE I-

Okay, back on topic.

I view myself as Panromatic Demisexual.

So I'm on the ace spectrum-

Makes sense with multiple things I suppose, how tf did it take me this long--

Uhm.

Treat me nicely? Idk.

I'm just gonna cut this off now, this is long enough--

(BONUS: Freckled version!!)

[your-generic-art-blog]

Wow

Okay so I found an old vent that I got really inspired to redraw for whatever reason, so yeah

Also, here's my attempt at drawing lips.

I hate them with every fibre of my being.

But I'm still kinda proud of it?

I tried to make Marsha (my persona) chubbier because that's what I'm like, and I'm still working on giving my characters different body types so yeah.

So I think my anatomy's getting better.

... A little.

I mean, just look at that hand-

I think the shading in this isn't too bad either!

So yay I guess

[your-generic-art-blog]

Okay, here's the ref sheet I made for my persona, Marsha "Marshie" Mallow! I made this both for personal use, and in case anyone ever wanted to draw her... I doubt that, but eh XD

(For extra info, check here!)

[your-generic-art-blog]

Just a coloured sketch because I'm feeling some art block approaching and I'm trying to fight it as much as I can (spend help)

[your-generic-art-blog]

Sorry for the bad lighting! I would've found a way to scan these instead of taking photos, but this was for quickness tbh

So, this was a "self-indulgent" birthday gift to myself as I called it) that I drew a few months ago and remade a quick sketch of it

Did I improve at all? Even slightly?... I hope

Yes, I do indeed know how Terrible that pup anatomy is ;-;

[your-generic-art-blog]

So I was thinking about what I could make for animatics and animations, then remembering I had a three minute long animatic in my stolen tablet and so much work had gone to waste

I want death (it’s almost 1:30, I’m far too tired for this)

(Have a quick drawing to represent my annoyance)

[your-generic-art-blog]

So I felt upset because I was wondering if I’ve ever improved so I decided to get my profile pic from the past few years and compare them side-by-side

I think I’ve improved! At least a bit, maybe I’m delusional, I don’t know

And the anatomy is still fucked, like a certain guy pointed out in my google+ post (lmao)

[your-generic-art-blog]

Hey there

So these two little doodles from a large sheet of doodles and sketches that I’m drawing in the style of a sticker sheet, bc I think that’s cute

I was gonna wait until the full thing was finished to post but I have time sensitive things I need to work on (art and college assignments) so I wanted to have at least a small thing to post.

Btw this week will be busy for me. I’ve got Halloween, then my birthday, then a college presentation (that I have not started working on) and then there’s the surgery for my tooth (at least I’m p sure that’s what the appointment is for, I genuinely have no clue) so rip me, I’m gonna sleep for a month afterward.

So again, here’s two drawings from the sheet! Here’s the stories behind them.

Toasty:

I was on a trip with some family members the other week and I toasted marshmallows for the first time! I wasn’t originally going to, but I made the joke “toasted marshiemallow” in my head and got a little chuckle.

I still wasn’t going to try until my sister turned to me and made the same joke. We had a laugh and I just had a moment of “well I have to now, don’t I?” I didn’t do very well because I was in an awkward crouching position by the fire we were around, and I was too busy trying not to fall in the fire to get a good toasting lol. Was still good tho

(Did not make smores with it, before anyone asks. Have never had smores either lol (my friend is quaking from that knowledge rn)) (Also this joke won’t make sense for long since I’m changing my “branding” so sucks to be me ig)

“Could you… not?”:

Okay so I have properly fucked up my tooth and there’s a cracked hole in it (have looked at it in a mirror, it honestly looks bizarre) and I’m still waiting for surgery to take it out and it’s been stabbing me in the face for weeks. My mom actually said it best (said from her own similar experience): “you honestly get to the point when you just want someone to fuckin deck you in the face” and I finally understood what the agitated feeling I had was lmao. Anyway, it still hurts, gotta deal with it for like a week, so have a baby Marsha being fucking stabbed in the face. This is how I’ve felt for like 5 weeks send help.

[your-generic-art-blog]

Okay, so I drew this to vent a little, which is why it's pretty bad.

I'm going to leave a short story of what had happened. I wrote this quickly to vent to, so it's probably really bad, especially since I’m not gonna edit it, but I'm showing just to kinda show what happened:

(Just to clarify- the stuff in italics are thoughts)

"Wow... Today was actually... pretty good." The young girl smiled to herself at the positive train of thoughts as she slipped her wireless headphones over her ears "I honestly feel pretty good..." She pulled up the hood of her rose-red hoodie over her head, getting lost in her music as she thought over the day's events. She had passed a test she was definitely sure she was going to fail, a few of her teacher had realized just how much stress they were putting on her for weeks, and pulled back a little, giving her their apologies. She was so close to passing a class she adored, and no one had given her any trouble... and she didn't hate herself at the days end for once.  As the song currently blaring in her ears faded out, she heard a cry.

"Ahhh!" Her head snapped up with the cry to see someone stood in front of her with a disgusted look on their face, as they held their hand outwards, pointing directly in her face. "Ewww! What the fuck is that?!" The girl's smile fell as the other student who spat a few more insults before they ran off screaming. A few people around her snickered, a few whispering to their friends about the silent girl who now had tears streaming down her face. Luckily for her, her hood and mocha bangs covered them. She bowed her head, attempting to put up a facade of not caring, and like she had shrugged it off. She merely continued on her trek home as the next song in her playlist began to play.

She supposed she could take back that comment of not hating herself...

————

So, uh, yeah. No, I didn't actually start crying. And if anyone's concerned, I mostly feel fine now, I just wanted to vent a bit and decided to post it.

[your-generic-art-blog]

Channel Intro Sprites!!

CHANNEL INTRO VIDEO

Okay so I remade my old channel intro

It's stil not great but it's better than my like 3 year old one (oh god I've been making videos for over three years holy fuck-

Anyway! Here's the video sprites

Not great again, tho they were made in a rush

If I ever want to use sprites for a video, these will def be remade. They were made specifically for the intro script so they're very... specific.

Yeah
