For the birthday thing, I'll give you my fave of Omni's kids lolol :P Also I'm a Patreon ehe. Thanks and happy birthday again, for this and the blog!

Aaaaaa hello Chrystalis~ Thank you for being probably what I’d consider one of my biggest supporters, Skins. It means a lot, really QwQ

Happy birthday ^^ I'm in my 30's so, glad to see some older peeps on tumblr.

(even if 29 aint old XD )

Don't worry, I know. I don't truly believe myself to be old, just relatively old. I could be wrong, but I feel like a majority of the people I interact with on Tumblr and Discord are younger than me. Sometimes not by much, and sometimes by a lot. One of my favorite artists is about a decade younger than me! (Which is admittedly wild to think about. XD)

I want to take a moment to be sappy, and hopefully not conceited. I don't want to sound or act like I have a big head; I just want to offer some advice as an older artist.

When I was a teenager, I dreamed of having what I've since gained through this blog. I wanted to tell a story, and have people interact with it and ask questions, primarily in the form of Nuzlocke comics. I only ever tried on DeviantArt and, in more recent years, Twitter (may it RIP), and never really gained any traction. I wonder if things would've been different if I'd tried Tumblr back then, but I kinda doubt it. I was a teenager. I was still a developing artist and storyteller with an underdeveloped sense of self-confidence. Now, that's not to say I don't think teenagers can do great things and tell great stories... But if you're trying and it's not working out, YOU. HAVE. TIME.

At some point I came across what I believe was an advice post from Tumblr, but I can't find it anywhere and don't truly know where it's from. It had some wonderful advice that I wish I could share verbatim!

The biggest thing I gleaned from it is, don't down-talk your own art! If you have trouble liking the art you make, look for the good in it! Find the parts you can be confident in, build on that, and love what you do!

Here, I'll get you started.

You are an artist, which is a wonderful thing! You have the ability to bring your ideas to life, and that will only get better with time! I'm way, WAY better of an artist now than when I was 16, 17, 18 when I first tried telling stories online. Your biggest hindrance will be yourself, so please don't let yourself get in the way. Perfection in art is impossible. Aim for loving what you do, and be patient with yourself.

Anyways, that's my random sappy spiel. Enjoy your art, lovely artists young, old, and in-between!

I guess at peace with their lot in life, whatever that may be? I was mostly keeping it vague cause well, I'm sure you don't wanna spoil the ending lol. But more like, they're content?

oh yes, i understood that - i meant my answer to be vague as well.

their ending depends on your definition of "good" for them. i don't want to say more than that, haha.

This is too big to post on Artfight, so I’m posting it here!

(The original file was 152MB whoops. I did it on WAY too big of a canvas. This has been compressed to under 10 to meet tumblr’s maximum gif upload size)

Here’s the full image as well!

I’ve never animated anything before so this was a fun learning experience on how to do simple animations!

This ended up with about 280 frames that I had to move by hand a tiny amount each time.

It’s four days of work well spent! I’m sad I can’t post the full resolution but I’m still proud of this!

Day 730 - July 11, 2024

Art Fight revenge for @hideoutfromreality~

[neodoesart]

AF2024 Experimental #2: Painting

I could never get to this quality of such a drawing

Attack towards @hideoutfromreality/@asksavel featuring the Light of Hope event

Initially, asksavel is one of the frequently appeared blogs on my dashboard. I didn’t think much of the blog until I have read the whole story, when I immediately got mesmerized by its quality.

It is the first askblog that I have ever read fully and a nice introduction for me to explore the pokeask community later on.

Thank you Skins.

May I please request darling Mimi meeting Omni? ;v; Thank you <3

I feel like compared to Janus, Omni’s a bit calmer, less intimidating. Mimi would feel a bit more comfortable conversing with her. Probably helps Omni is familiar with socializing with other Mews

One thing I'm curious about. Without spoilers of course... will Cody get a 'good ending'?

It depends on your definition of "good."
