So this is probably the last I might use sketchbook app. But what ever Ugg whatever. Like usual I had  nothing but random hardenshipping stuff I have. Also Archie is just cute short guy and I love it. Happy holidays.

I’m not gonna say I’m Not Like Other People(TM) in the Hardenshipping fandom but it’s kinda true XD I tend to go in the opposite direction of HCs! Archie is slender, muscular, and regularly shaves his body hair to remain sleek for water dynamics. OvO MAXIE HOWEVER is hairy as HELL. Dude wears a TURTLENECK at a VOLCANO. he needs the extra heat, he’s anemic XD Also pokespe Maxie has a special place in my heart so he has a beer belly hehe.

"bonus event" and it's just these two on a date

[gleaming-glasses]

I wanted to reblog this with a complete list of all the references made in this piece just to have it posted somewhere in case anyone was curious 👌

- The layout of the environment was largely inspired by “Plate 3” by Iganz Carl Junck

Left side

- Discord and chaos, Archie and Maxie largely referencing the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald manga and the rift in their relationship that is present at some point in most iterations

- the pose Maxie and Archie are in was largely inspired by the sculpture, “The Ecstasy of St. Teresa” by Gian Lorenzo Bernini

- Groudon, Kyogre, Seviper, and Zangoose were chosen because of the rivalries they share, meant to mirror the rivalry between Maxie and Archie

- Sirskit on lower left is there as reference to the Sirskit that accompanies Archie in the Manga

- Banette in bottom right because of its pokedex entries that describe it as a pokemon born of deep hatred that is constantly seeking revenge

- Roselia thorns on bottom left, chosen because of the legends arceus pokedex entry that states, “Though beautiful, it has highly poisonous thorns. There is an old tradition in my homeland wherein one would send these thorns to an opponent to challenge them to a duel.”

- The black rose of a shiny roselia is next to the thorns, symbolizing hatred and death

- The yellow lines and circle behind Maxie and Archie is an overlap of the symbols that appear on a person who is possessed by the red and blue orbs, the lines extend all the way down to appear as bars like on a cage or cell

- To the left are yellow flowers called tansies which symbolize a declaration of war

- To the left are deep blue flowers called acenite which symbolize that danger or an enemy is near, urging caution

Right Side

- Harmony and balance, Archie and Maxie largely referencing Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, and Pokemon Masters EX

- Archie and Maxie are wearing their variant outfits in Pokemon Masters EX as they share a more unified color scheme

- The pose Maxie and Archie are in are largely inspired by two statues, Maxie’s being one at the Basilica of St. George and Archie’s being one of Mary at the St. Mary and St. John of Nepomunk monument

- Rayquaza as it is the peacekeeper between Groudon and Kyogre

- Jirachi because of its associations with purity, as in the Alpha Sapphire pokedex, “Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if you sing to it in a voice of purity.”

- Solrock, lunatone, plusle, and minun were chosen for being opposite pokemon with strong associations with the other that are able to coexist peacefully, meant to reflect the understanding Archie and Maxie develop after the events of the games

- Roselia was chosen because of the balance in the red and blue color scheme and because of its fragrance which, according to the ruby pokedex, brings serenity

- Behind Archie and Maxie's heads are the symbols that appear on a person who has been possessed by the red and blue orb, this time made to have the appearance of a halo

- Archie and Maxie are both reaching for an olive branch, symbolizing their shared desire for peace between their teams

- White tulips in the bottom right symbolize forgiveness

- Yellow daffodils in the bottom right symbolize rebirth and new beginnings

Work from my art history final, honestly may be one I come back to since I never settled on colors

hardenshipping at the pride parade

(there was an event where you were allowed to draw all over the walls of a shipping container)

[k-chips]

I need these two to come back in a future Pokemon mainline game, in another region, and you see them and think like "Oh jeez what are they doing here? They're gonna fight each other or me?" And then you find out they're just chilling together on vacation
