It was supposed to be a sketch, and then next thing I knew it'd been flat colored I pastelle-d their palettes a bit, because it was late when I was doing this and the yellow was hurting my eyes rip

thinking about it again I like the idea of chespin hero stilllllll… maybe i can wheel it back around to feeling alola-themed by picking a different partner

Best soundtrack ever

[charlottesolstice]

I know that Gates to infinity is kind of a controversial entry for the pkmd community, but i actually enjoyed it a lot when i played it

The characters are nicely characterized, i really liked their dynamics. Especially Emolga and Dunsparce.

[chronicles-cc]

also ~to be H~ it's actually more fun to play with these characters in CC's context rather than PKB's. there's a lot more space to customize stuff for here, for me

The ocean PKMD could have so many nods to old myths and nautical history.

-A Bermuda Triangle area that many ships have disappeared and returned later with nothing but whoever was on it to a random continent. No memories or loot whatsoever, but it’s just a Beheeyem and two Dhelmise stopping ships and looting them before messing with their memories

-A pirate gang lead by a Cradlily based off Blackbeard(red petals being Blackbeards flaming beard and shooting rocks out of their center mouth like a cannon ball)with fossil mon as crew that are based on other normal pirates

-Two garchomp who are siblings who both ended up wanted by the law and not really guilty of anything. One got mad when they couldn’t find their bounty and knocked out one of Magnazone’s officers with a bucket(based off captian Kidd killing someone with one after an attempted mutiny when privateering didn’t go well)

And the other was won over by the stories about their sibling and left a nice cushy job to be a pirate and only is still captain cause they pay nicely(based off Stede Bonnet who was an AWFUL pirate and was only really kept around cause he payed by salary, not pay by prey like most pirates)

-Maybe even a Umibōzu style monster or a creepy cloaked Ferryman that is completely unique to this(think Dark Mater in this series) that either hunt without mercy(Umibōzu) or make deals for easy manipulation later on(Ferryman)

ohhh these are such fun ideas!! Thank you🙏

Ahoy again Sofie… your work is amazing and your ability to interact with your captive audience is near magical at moments but I do have two questions for you if you maybe so kind as to answer my queries, from someone who has charted the ways of a creator for many to see and be amazed by.

The first is how does one start creating a series upon the sea known as the internet. No matter if the ship you’re creating is one of an already formed series(like PKMD for example) or a completely original hand crafted story.

And the second is, how does one go about finding an audience if you haven’t a soul how knows of you yet?

Thank you so much for your kind words! You're very sweet!

Oh man. Do I ever have no answers. I’ll try my best, but I’m really not qualified for this ;w;

For your first question: The first thing you've gotta do is let go of your ego and have fun. Forget your pride and revel in your favorite tropes and storytelling strategies. Cringe culture is dead— you don't have to resurrect it to bully yourself about having a highbrow, marketable story. I always thought that the advice to “Have fun and your audience will too” was a bit inaccurate, but then I decided to go ham with all the self-indulgent elements I included in TPiaG and I'm at over 400 followers in under 6 months (which is absolutely unprecedented I must say). That's the most important guiding principle, I think. Because then you'll have fun no matter what comes of your project!

As for question two: I have no idea. Apparently fanworks are the way to go? I will say that technically I had 1k-ish subscribers on YouTube and 100-ish followers on a previous Instagram account (~80% of which were friends and family in the Instagram account’s case), so I wasn't starting from absolutely nothing, but I didn't mention my Tumblr anywhere after I made it because it was supposed to be private. I made my main blog as a personal art archive, learned I couldn't keep it utterly hidden, and figured I'd just have a couple bots like a post here and there after I tagged my posts to make it easier for me to search them. That was very much NOT what happened, as you can guess. According to my sister who works as a professional illustrator, fanart is a great way to get more eyes on your art so that more people can be exposed to personal work (if that's your goal!)

But yeah. I seriously don’t know how so many lovely people decided to click on my blog and like what they saw. It’s a bit shocking bc I’ve never had such an involved community before and it’s so overwhelmingly encouraging :,>

Shiren the Wanderer (originally on the SNES but re-released on the DS)

It's a Mystery Dungeon game not dissimilar from the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, but instead about a ronin who simply goes on adventures. Like the Ys series, it's episodic and there is no need to play in a specific order. Since I like episodic games like that, and I discovered a love of MD games after playing PKMD, and I like roguelikes in general and have since way back in the text-based era of gaming, it's pretty up my alley.

Be warned it is significantly less forgiving than PKMD. The challenge dungeons in PKMD where you start at level 1 with no items and there is no saving progress, you either do it in one or you start over from the beginning? Yeah, that's the *entire game*.

[drlockdown-reviews]

Whenever my depression flares up, it takes a monumental effort to do something like booting up a video game.

But oh boy Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is worth it. It sooths the soul. Perfect blend of cozy vibes and surprising difficulty.

PKMD is goated.
