Pokemon story/art/ask-blog for Benta the Mewtwo

Set in an apocalyptic future where most humans have disappeared and only pokemon remain. And the world is not as it had once been.

Benta, a pokemon who has existed for a long time now, has wandered the crumbling cities and empty roads looking for others who might share his ideals of rebuilding what is left of the world. Perhaps even track down the humans, if there are any left. However, the pokemon all seem to be at odds, more focused on hoarding land and food for survival. Many more are feral and vicious.

As others may find out, he is no ordinary mewtwo, and he might very well be the only one of his kind in a world full of ghosts. But is he the only wanderer? Or are there others?

And is it possible to save this future?

⚠️ Under Construction ⚠️

⚠️ Comic Pages 9-12 In Progress ⚠️

⛔️ NO NSFW ⛔️

General Itinerary (in no particular order) :

🧩 rp reply (if/when I have any)

- Thinking I'm gonna limit myself to one a day with these (or as often as I can manage) since I'm a very tired goose with limited internal motivation lol. I love role-playing! It just takes some thinking and energy. If I ever have more than one thread at a time, I'll make a weekly schedule 📅

✏️🖍 asks and/or art responses

- the art side of these can take anywhere from a day to a few days, depending on what I do exactly style/complexity-wise. Obviously can't do art replies all the time, but sometimes I could get inspired to do something other than text replies! 💕

🎨 comic art

- For the main story! The style for this is different and more uniform than what I'll be using for asks, so it definitely takes longer. I don't typically post until I'm done with a illustration/page set, so it can take a long heckin time. If one part one is 8 pages, I'd say it would clock in at two or three months before it's posted (as long as I'm not sick or somethn). I'm okay with posting peridoic snippet updates from my favorite panels though!

Temp. Edit: I've lowered the number of pages in each part to 4 since I need an easier goal to reach at a time. There's still 24 total! I just need simpler intervals. :T 🖼

Beyond this I have work and need me time, but always thank you, and I appreciate the interest! Benta is one of my comfort OCs so I'm treating this blog about the same. I want it to be a fun and cozy space while I build the apocalypse story lol.

#️⃣ tags

This is a list of tags to search on my blog for my art and writing (which will update as they come up):

- ;mun - my general babble, updates, and so on

- ;poké art - all posts involving pokemon sketches and drawings

- ;pokedex - posts pertaining to the story's pokemon and their lore. These pokemon are usually "new" species, not those that are already well known. However, sometimes special pokemon characters will make an appearance

- ;rp - written replies to roleplays. Kind of recommended since some lore will likely only appear in these, and they can be a fun read for those that like to do so (the rp partner's name will also be included in the post's tags) 👍

- ;response - ask responses! Chances are they contain art and scribbles. And maybe not, depends on how I feel

- Benta - self-explanatory, posts containing content of my mewtwo OC Benta (this does/should include roleplay threads and asks, so it's more generalized and not very concise)

- ;UntilTheEnd - the comic and main story for Benta and other characters that we'll meet along the way! (Set in an alternate universe, so don't expect very much anime/game continuity lol)

- ;drabbles and chapters - more written content that can either have something to do with an established AU or with context of the main story. Typically smaller snippets, but potentially a longer chapter set. I'm a faster writer than a drawer, but I enjoy both- so this is just another means of keeping up fun content 🫶

Introducing: The Fallout comic I've been working on for forever! :D A lot to say about this...which is why this is going on my blog. XD First, this 8 page mini comic is a little devotional piece to my husband. Fallout has been a huge part of our relationship since the beginning (in fact, it's pretty much how we started talking to each other lol), so that's why the comic is Fallout based. Second, this comic is currently available to read FOR FREE in greyscale on my website. So if you'd like to check it out, follow this link:

But that's not all I have planned for this comic. It will eventually get printed in full color for my husband once I have the ducks in a row (which will hopefully be soon). But in the meantime, you can sign up as a patron on my Patreon for $1/month (or more if you want other special perks), and get added to the Special Thanks page of the final printed comic (even if you cancel after the first month sign up). Patrons who sign up for the $5+ tiers will get access to the full colored digital version of the comic. ;)

Full picture plan: Based on what I've found so far, the minimum amount of comics I can have printed is 25. I obviously do not need 25 comics lol. One will go to my husband, and I plan to keep one for myself, but that leaves a whole 23 comics left just sitting there. Now... my plan is to host a small Kickstarter for anyone who might also like a printed copy. The cost for the Kickstarter will be set to cover costs for shipping, proper packing material, and all that is necessary for this kind of thing (I'm still figuring it all out). If it's popular enough, I'll set goals for things like stickers and maybe other merchandise. But since this is my first time going print and launching a Kickstarter by myself, I'm going to try to keep this as manageable as possible for wittle ol' me. Now... What's next for the Fallout Adventures series? (Yes, it was intended to be a series. XD A series of small stories of me and my husband's characters going about Fallout related adventures.) Well, when my husband finally saw this comic (he couldn't wait for it to be printed, so he wanted to see the digital version), he wanted to do his own story. How we're going about that is still undetermined, but it's either going to be written, turned into a comic, or both. Beyond that, I would still like to do some mini stories that - maybe one day - I can turn into an entire anthology of sorts. That's the hopes and plans for the future of this series. :) KEEP IN MIND This is a passion project. I'm doing this for fun and for/with my husband. We got full lives, so I'll do what I can, when I can. If y'all have questions or anything, don't hesitate to message me, and I'll get back when I can. Until then, please enjoy. :)

Since it’s been quite a long time and I saw what you said about losing files I assume the “Screw Governor Kalen” comic is over; but I wanted to just say I really love what you did make!!! The water color pages were so gorgeous!!!! And I love all the TAZ art you’ve made in general 💗💗💗 Thank you for making it c:

man 😭😭😭 I wish I had the time to dedicate to continuing it, but with college finishing up, creative projects, and me taking a job at a Middle School as a full-time art teacher, it's just gotten pushed further and further to the back-burner. Maybe one day I'll do like. an illustrated fic of the whole thing just to wrap it up because I swear I had a whole ending planned out scripting just takes so much time i don't have.

I'm glad yall liked it and its still being talked about all these years later!

Okay but no let me just rant about myself for a moment (I'm not actually like mad at myself or anything really, just a bit frustrated and needing to vent).

(also, as per usual, it's.... kind of long lol)

One of my issues, which is almost certainly just from lack of practice, is like I can draw faces and stuff pretty good if I'm just straight up copying a reference. On the page about expressions I literally just drew the faces from the page and honestly they look pretty solid. BUT it's like any concept of proportions and whatnot I have is just GONE as soon as I try to draw from a realistic reference or from my head. And I don't have Aphantasia or anything, in fact I have a pretty vivid imagination, it's just hard to translate it specifically when it comes to drawing like living things.

On rare occasions I'll actually manage to draw a person from a realistic or no reference though! And then I'll look at it later and feel like I have absolutely no clue how I managed to do that.

(alternatively, I get WAY too nitpicky about trying to match the reference perfectly instead of just trying to make sure what i draw makes sense with itself, and then i get needlessly caught up in irrelevant details)

Like I said, it's almost certainly a lack of practice. But I'm also very very much the type to struggle with staying motivated on stuff that I'm not at least passable at right away. When it comes to hobbies or art mediums I'm just experimenting with that's fine who cares.

This is different though I want to improve at drawing because I want to be a illustrator! And I need to be able to draw characters to do that! Therefore I want to practice that and I'm SO close to properly overpowering the part of my brain that keeps avoiding practice in the name of some unobtainable perfectionism. I can feel it. But boy has it been a struggle to get here and I'm still having to basically drag myself along the whole time.

(not quite as forcefully anymore but tooth and nail nonetheless)

I feel so silly for needing so much effort to motivate myself to do something that I ultimately do want to do. I'm trying to make a short comic for a local competition that isn't due for a couple months and I have the story almost 100% planned out. The combination of a deadline and having a clear story are definitely helping keep motivation going more than I ever would have in the past. Which is great!

Really I think the main thing that frustrates me is just my own lack of consistency both in me not regularly practicing and me sometimes looking at older work that feeling like it's way better than what I'm capable of at that moment. Which, mind you, I know isn't true. I can also see the progress, I've definitely improved over time. And art can have good and bad days. Maybe there is old work of mine that's better than what I could do at this exact moment. Maybe recently is just an off period, maybe the old work I just got really lucky that day with how it turned out or it was just a particularly good art day.

The self-awareness of it is also frustrating. Like, knowing that I shouldn't be putting myself or my art down and that it's not productive at all to do that, but still having to constant fight with myself over it. Knowing full-well that practice makes progress and progress takes practice and I'm not supposed to immediately be good at everything I try right away, but still struggling a lot to not feel like I'm hopeless rather than just currently an amateur.

I know there's a version of me in some future time that managed to overcome all this. They did end up entering the comic competition, and the next one, and she made a webcomic or published a graphic novel (or both, please and thank you), and illustrated those children's books her childhood-self tried to write. They have an art style and skill level that they're happy with. They're good at creating meaningful stories and is confident in their ability to convey them.

She doesn't get anxiety over talking about her work from fear of the embarrassment that comes from excitedly explaining an idea only to once again lose all motivation and never finish it. Not because she finishes every single project but because she's confident in her ability to finish the important ones and at peace with knowing some will never be completed. She's probably out there somewhere. No, she definitely is. She's happy and real, because otherwise what's the point? I hope I'll get to meet her.

But at the moment I just really wish I knew what she did in the meantime.

ahem , uh anyway thank you for coming to my art rant

Why couldn't I have gone through a cringe (affectionate) "omgggg look at my manga oc" art phase as a teen like nature intended instead of sitting here at 27 with a how to draw manga book I got from the library trying to figure out how the fuck hair works

When this man came out from inside, he had been wearing a bright red robe. At that moment, no one could tell whether it had been red to begin with, or had been dyed with fresh blood. His face, forever wooden and placid, had shown a smile for the first time before all.

“He’s dead. I got rid of him,” they had heard him say. “Anyone unconvinced can come fight me, but otherwise, be good and obey from here on out.”

Project Update

I've devoted quite a bit of time toward a comic project that I hope to share with everyone soon. By soon I mean... well, maybe not within a few days or a week from now, but hopefully by the end of October/beginning of November! Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm going to definitely push to post at least one page roughly around that time frame. This is also why I've slowed down with responding to ASKs or posting doodles. I've been really enjoying storyboarding the first chapter, which has surpassed 25 pages, so it has taken a lot of my attention this past week or two. 😅 Sorry - This comic will be a long ongoing project too. I honestly don't see it being finished within a year, maybe not even two years — it really depends. Especially when considering how many chapters it'll take to fully showcase it in all its glory. Or the additional bits I might add for visual flavor; doodles, extra content, etc.

Before I ramble on further, I want to mention this comic will be my first attempt to tackle such a big project. Ya' know, something that isn't a simple illustration or a one-page-hit-wonder, basically. I don't expect it to be perfect by any means. Hell, I expect to take the opportunity given to me as a learning tool. Something that'll allow me to figure things out and grow within my style/skills. It will 100% not be perfect, is what I'm saying.

However, this is a perfect way to explain what I meant by "opportunity". The writer of this story is not me! Yup, I'm just the illustrator guiding you on this adventure. I have graciously been given permission to draw a lovely fanfic that I've adored ever since I stumbled over it back in 2020. I am working closely with the author and, in my eyes, see this as a collab of sorts. They get FULL credit to all scenes, dialogue, and plot. They are an amazing writer, and I feel most of you might have already read this fic by them. Especially if you enjoy or admittedly ship David and Michael. No, I'm not ready to say just "who" or which story. I don't want to give away too much just yet!

But, yes, this will be a David x Michael fancomic/webcomic. If you don't particularly like that ship or disapprove of them being paired in such a fashion than please, by all means, don't read it — no one will be forcing you to consume such content. I will say this for now that it will be mature. Explicit, even, in later chapters. Such pages will not be posted directly to tumblr, of course. Not even with the new fancy label system. But I will have a link available on those particular pages. Despite me defining this to be mature, it's mainly an emotional trainwreck. Seriously, be prepared for that.

As briefly mentioned, I do plan to post everything but said explicit scenarios to tumblr on a side blog dedicated specifically for the comic (and any other content related to it.) That side-blog will be kept neat and tidy as to keep it well archived and easy to read. More on that as it gets closer to me finally posting pages. (I'll post it to another website too, most likely, that allows explicit imagery which is where the link will probably take you)

Man, I am so excited for this project! I can't wait to share it with everyone! I know it'll be a long journey but for those interested in tagging along, I hope you all enjoy it 🥰
