#gardie draws

[vaugarde]

i wanna take art requests sooooo bad i wanna draw stuff for people and get little prompts. but i know i do not have the time or energy for it </3

[loupy-mongoose]

So, I made some impulse purchases recently, including this lovely little gal.

Hai Luna~

When I ordered her, it started a bit of a Gardevoir kick in me. So I went and did some brainstorming about Jamie's Gardie pal, Clover.

This did get very long, but there's a lot of art that I really like! :3 Plus I borrowed a certain someone from @mewtwoandme~

Growing up I always drew the green headpiece as a bony structure with maybe green skin on it, like deer antlers. (Except it doesn't shed lol)

But in my efforts to redecide what it actually is to me, I went to Bulbapedia, and that called it hair. So I tried out hair as well, and I kinda like that better...

I love my deranged Gardie. :>

(Leaning into "Mischievous Fairy/Pixie" energy)

I wanted to draw some Gwen (M&M's Gardevoir), as her and Clover's characters are different in a lot of ways, and I thought it would be fun to draw them together. Turns out Gwen dwarfs my girls, and I adore that in every way. XD

I also came to realize that Jamie would admire Gwen--She doesn't wish change on Clover in the slightest, but she does like the grace that more conventional Gardevoirs possess. Plus she'd be astounded by her sheer size.

For the fun of it, I tried drawing them both in each of our styles. (Or more like "Features" than "style")

I did not like drawing Gardevoir in her style. All the respect and love to M&M, but it felt SO wrong to me personally. XD

Annnnd... I kinda accidentally thought of a different way to take their designs...

And then I tried to figure out the logistics of giving Gardvoir a tail. I kinda like the idea of there being one that blends into the Skirt, splitting and running down the length of the skirt ends.

A little character lore; Clover removed her skirt on purpose.

Growing up, I always had in mind that the skirt was skin, maybe acting as thermoregulation, or something like that. I don't think I ever decided whether they can feel through their skirts or not, but if I want it to be more angsty, then yes, they can feel.

Warning for general and self-inflicted injury in this paragraph. As a kid I figured Clover cut it off to prevent it from getting caught or grabbed. But now, with the developing idea of there being a tail involved, I got another idea with even more angst. I'm thinking possibly Clover had a tail bone broken, and maybe it healed wrong, causing her pain so she ripped off the whole skirt.

Okay, injury warning is over.

And now a little silly that's not exactly canon, but close enough. XD

Y'all can thank @puzzled-zebra for this, as she brought up the idea during a chat. It was too good to pass up. XD

And now I wish to finish with a nostalgia ramble, because Clover is very precious to me, along with Jamie.

I started a playthrough of Soul Silver many, many years ago--even before the playthrough that would become Jamie's trainer journey over ten years ago. It was a solo run, with a Ralts egg sent in to be my only companion. (I kept the rules soft, though, as I remember needing help from other Pokemon to beat Bugsy. XD) My memories of that playthough are faded, but I remember that Clover alone beat the Champion at level 64-65. Sometime within the next few years, she was my first ever Pokemon to reach level 100 without the use of Rare Candy or experience cheats. That playthough and whatever happened in it has no bearing on Clover's story, but it's what gave birth to her as a character, and I hold that very dear.

Her nature is "Hardy, Likes to Fight", and I'm really proud of little me for taking that in the direction she took it. XD

Anyway, that's my super long love-dump of my beloved gremlin fairy. Thanks to everyone who made it all the way, I know it got pretty long. ^^

"Story of Creartion":

✨ Some sketches of the designs that I will handle in this series.

Context: Creation Stories talks about the papyri of ''The Prophecy of Thuban''. One of the dragon rulers of time who was the main person in charge of recounting the different prophecies. This prophecy basically talks about all the time of Eldarya ''The Origins'' (With the twists of my AU). He dictates with different symbols, shapes and even animals, many of the events that later happen before, during and after the white sacrifice. This prophecy, after the fall of the ''tower of Babel'' and with the library of Alexandria, was distorted and became the basis of many of the religions known before and today (Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Mayan, etc. . ) in its different versions. The draconian prophecies (in my AU) by law did not use anthropomorphic figures or references to people since they feared that someone could feel alluded to and create a false prophet or heroic figure, so they used the stars, inert objects or even intangible things. BUT this particular prophecy speaks nothing more and nothing less than the main characters of Eldarya (and some secondary ones) and there the whole series that I am doing HAHAHAHAHA. The reason why many of the religious stories are closely similar to this story is because, those stories ARE BORN from this prophecy. That's why it's called "Story of Creartion". Anyway, more lore than anyone is going to read so here I leave these guys:

✨I also need to draw a reference for: Lance which would be air, cold, wind, etc; Mizuki (Gardie) Night, moon, darkness, death, energy; Leiftan's counterpart as war and discord and I still don't know if I'm going to put Miiko in the story. I'm in great doubt (Natural law, balance, justice)

Road to 2024 Worlds: Week 1

This was my first weekend of competitive play for the new season. Here's what I got up to:

Friday, Jul. 21: Weekly League, 3rd place(2-0-2)

No CP awarding going on here, but I do these to get games in with a couple of friends every now and then. I played Gardevoir with a Lost Vacuum and a split of Forest and Sky Seal Stone.

Here's how it went: T vs United Wings W vs Palkia T vs Lugia SS W vs Fusion Mew

Played against my testing partner in the last round and absolutely blew him away with the Sky Seal Stone he didn't know I put in my deck. We usually know each other's lists very well, but he had just gotten back from vacation and I took our resulting testing drought as a fun opportunity to surprise him.

Saturday, Jul. 22: League Cup, 20th Place (3-3)

Played the same list as the day before. Daniel Altavilla, Chip Richey and his brother were there playing, along with a few other local friends. The cup ended up with 40 players and was an absolute blast.

Here's how it went: W vs Inteleon Urshifu L vs Lugia L vs ArcUmbreon W vs Fusion Mew L vs Chien-Pao W vs Lugia SS

So close but so far. I can't say I didn't have fun though. I definitely had variance not go my way a good number of times.

In Round 2, I played a Temple of Sinnoh and Iono'd my opponent to 2 cards. I needed them to whiff a counter stadium for a turn to have a chance and they...didn't. Kind of unlucky, given that they hadn't thinned their deck much that game but such is life.

In Round 3, I lost after missing a highly probable Boss's Orders for game. On my final turn, I had 9 cards left in deck. I drew for turn, taking me down to 8. I used Mew's Mysterious Tale finding an Ultra Ball, thinning my deck down to 7. I used Refinement to draw 2 cards, taking me down to 5. Then, I played the Ultra Ball to find Shining Arcana Gardevoir, played it and used Shining Arcana to draw 2 more cards, leaving my deck at 2. My 2 remaining Boss's Orders were in the bottom 3 cards. Woof.

The other loss I'm honestly not sure how I managed. I had some awkward draws but it felt okay-ish. I probably just made a couple misplays that I can't remember. No X-2's made cut that day so I didn't feel too bad about it.

A friend ended up taking it down with UrshiInteleon. I probably would not have fared well in that top cut anyways.

Going 3-3 at my first League Cup of the season is a time honored tradition with 3 seasons of history behind it, so...yeah. Tradition!

Sunday, Jul. 23: League Challenge, 3rd place (2-0-1)

I was conflicted on if I even wanted to go to this one. I hadn't heard good things about recent changes made to this store, but I decided that Championship Points are more important than well run events so there I went.

I was a little burnt out on Gardie, so I decided to sleeve up Turbo Lost Box, turn my brain off and have some fun. I couldn't find my copy of Raikou V and didn't have extra Forest Seal Stones handy so I ended up just playing a weird suboptimal list. It was just a small event after all. Most of the more invested players in the area travelled the extra hour to the League Cup that happened on the same day.

Here's how it went: T vs Chien Pao W vs Lugia W vs Lugia

There was supposed to be a fourth round, but the organizer made a mistake. I wanted to play more Poke, so I was left a little disappointed but it is what it is. There were 3 2-0-1s by the end and my resistance ended up being the worst.

One story I really do want to share is that my round 3 opponent conceded after seeing his opening hand, packed up all his stuff and declared "I'm going to go home, get drunk and watch Tokyo Ghoul." and then did exactly that. My opening hand was fire and I'm a little sad I didn't get to play it out but at least I got a funny story out of it.

My testing partner ended up getting first with Fusion Mew though! The car came home with 25 CP so...profit?

That was the whole weekend for me! Pretty uneventful but I got to play three days of Poke so I have minimal complaints.

10/???

[mourning-again-in-america]

It's pretty annoying how decks in the Pokemon TCG are now just identified with the draw engine & attackers (Arc/Pika, LostBox with Stones, Gardy/MewTwo)

But I will never forget the joy of the blacephalon deck being referred to as "blowns", short for "blacephalon clowns"

[klamv-art]

More old things yey :D

Yes Ez again because I can't get him out of my mind ◉‿◉

[lunii12]

If she gets chosen, could you draw her with a more muscular body? ( it's a pity that the gardie dress up has only one body type...)

SANTA CANDY 2022 (MCL&ELDARYA EVENT)

This will work like last year but with an exception: since I don't have much until Christmas and I also have IRL preparations, I will only do one.

🎄HOW IT WORKS?

As in previous years, you have to reblog with your candy/gardienne (or references) or send it in private.

I'll choose using random.org.

🎄WHAT ARE THE PRIZES?

For this year I decided to draw your candy/gardienne. I'll do a half-body, probably with a Christmas vibe (not sure about that).

🎄DATES

You can start submitting starting today (15th Dec, or 16 depending on your time zone) until 20 Dec (including that day).

I'll announce the winners and their gifts on 25 Dec.

🎄ANYTHING ELSE?

If you have something in mind about the drawing or any ideas in general, do tell me when you reblog or sent in private. I'm always open.

Good luck!

[artofelvie]

I‘m in the mood to sketch some mcl/eldarya fandom stuff this evening. But they will be super simple (like this sketch). So please send some ideas via ask! (Please please please) If u want a drawing of your candy/gardi please also name her oc tag (if she own one) so I can find her easily.

!\I’ll only draw ocs from people who follow me. I don‘t have to draw your request. It’s my decision. The chance that I draw your stuff is much bigger when it includes my Candy. Friends and mutuals are very welcome/!

[hhershlag]

Gradually, I’m getting started to digital art. My cute customers helps me with it   :>

[mozuiii]

I was trying to make chibis in my own style ... AND I HAVE IT! I'm very happy. I drew with Dey from eldarya and Alisse from Cdm & CDMu.

[maygi]

Soy tan responsable con las comisiones, que por estar haciéndolas no he estudiado ni madres para el examen de una materia que no le entiendo ni papa ahdkjadahd, so praud of mi xd

[on-a-lucky-tide]

Okay, completely unironically though, do you have any thoughts about which Witcher is most likely to ACCIDENTALLY almost set half of Kaer Morhen on fire?

Eskel.

Ah-ha! You thought I'd say Lambert, didn't you, Anon? But Lambert would have set things on fire deliberately. I feel like teenaged Eskel was very much an accidental arsonists. And here's why.

We all know that Eskel is gifted with magic. Or rather, we have extrapolated from his tingly magic hands and a lil' bit of game lore that he is the best at Signs. His control, his power. All unmatched. Now, imagine a young, idiotic teenager learning that he can conjure actual fire with his hands.

The instructors always start them with quen, helitrope... maybe yrden. You know, the Signs that protect and bind. They can't hurt themselves with those. But Eskel's impatient and competitive with Geralt. He watches one of the instructors cast igni, memorises the pattern, and then practices. And practices. And practices.

Eventually, he gets it. A little shimmering flame in the palm of his hand. He must show Geralt. Eskel strides into their shared dormitory, chest puffed, chin up. "Lemme show you what I can do, peasants."

Geralt, Gweld, Frank, Gardis. They all gather around. Eskel casts igni.

Awe. Shock. Jealousy. Begrudging respect. Some of the boys try it, but they haven't got the right finger shape or the right focus. They make Eskel do it over and over again. The flame gets slightly bigger each time as he gets cockier.

Unfortunately, Frank skipped out on dusting duty, and when Gweld flops down on his bed and snatches a dusty copy of the bestiary to sulk with, the resulting cloud of dry skin, adolescent dandruff and miscellaneous human debris tickles Eskel's nose and he sneezes.

Half way through casting igni.

It's like feckin' dragon fire. A huge cone of flame. The boys hit the deck, hands over their heads, but it's too late. The curtains are on fire. Geralt shrieks, grabs a decanter of something, but before Gweld can bellow not to throw his fuckin' alchemy project on an open flame, Geralt's turns their small, moderately chaotic fire into an actual blaze. The beds are toast. The tapestries poof into ash.

There's shrieking. Screaming. Frank has no eyebrows. Gweld throws more furniture at it in hopes of keeping the fire in one place rather than have it spread around the room. (What the fuck, Gweld?)

The noise draws the attention of the instructors who appear and manage to contain the fire with a liberal application of water and quen. Eskel and Geralt, sooty, hair singed, stand in front of Grandmaster Barmin, who pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs.

"Why is it always you two?"

Geralt opens his mouth for a smartass reply. Eskel stamps on his foot and the sass turns to a yelp. They get potty duty for a week, so their dormitory ends up smelling of burned wood and the shit of a hundred men. The mages give Eskel the side eye, but Rennes, Vesemir and Barmin stay their hand. He went through enough with Geralt. And you don't fuck around with Chaos under their damned roof. The dragon of Kaer Morhen gets to continue training without interference. Oh, how Eskel hates that fuckin' nickname.
