#non PMDU

[symphonies-of-silver]

Late anon/non anon positivity but you've been a really good friend these past few years, even if we don't always talk much! I remember seeing your peeps in PMDE, and then in PMDU, and got attached to the narratives you wanted to tell with them! I also remember on my first askblog we had a pretty good interaction chain going.

It was fun hanging in your streams, and vibing on discord every so often! You've come a long, long way since then in many respects, and I only hope you continue to do greater things in due time!

I might not be as active as I used to be in the pokeask community(as much as I wish I could be, motivation is a pain in the butt), but I always appreciate when good things happen here and in other places! Hope you're ready for artfight! >:3

I've been thinking lately...

Since I don’t really do much in PMDU anymore, I was thinking of starting over and make this blog for just my art in general, meaning Pokemon, One Piece, etc.

What do you guys think? Should I do it?

Gosh, I haven’t done a 50 Words project since my Total Drama days... Which is ridiculous, because they’re my favorite things to write. Should I do some of those for my present-day fandoms? I should do some.

Any pairing / group interaction requests?

Here are the ones I’ve done in the past, if you want to get an idea of what I’m aiming for:

PMD STUFF

Kit and Roland being terrible at everything

Some Miles, Ches, and Jaime stuff to sync their PMD-E pasts up with PMDU

Team Zeppelin backstory ‘cuz I love telekinetic kids and flying whales

A cool one I did as a writing trade once

TOTAL DRAMA

Eva and Noah at Playa Des Losers

Noah and Izzy because Noah was my unapologetic favorite pre-Leonard

Eva, Noah, and Izzy because Team E-Scope was golden

Katie and Sadie because I love background characters and friendship

Mike and his alternate personalities

Courtney trying to mold feral Ezekiel into her “perfect” boyfriend

Chet and Lorenzo becoming stepbrothers

Another Eva and Noah one I did that I don’t consider canon but I thought it would be fun to write romance. (Now that I’m older and aware of asexuality it’s pretty cringe-y to me, but it’s still cool as long as you go into it with the understanding that I made choices 2018 Me is not proud of. Namely the non-consensual kiss. 10 out of 10 would not write again.)

Yeah, so... I want to do some 50 Words but I’m not sure where to start, so tell me what characters and relationships you guys are interested in!

You don’t have to read the examples I linked to in order to submit requests. They’re just here if you’re unfamiliar with 50 Words projects and wanted to get a sense of my writing style.

((since PSMD will be released on November 20th, we’ll be opening PMD-U (name is subject to change but we’re really having a hard time coming up with a unique name -that’s me asking for ideas-) on December 4th, 2 weeks after PSMD’s release. ))

we have a bit of info on the group here- http://pmd-ultra.deviantart.com/ (we ar looking for artists to help out if you want to pitch in a little. You don’t have to be a mod.)

Here you go. After this, I’m not accepting any more species that I already have characters for in PMDU.

I know you haven't been in the Phandom for very long, but would you ever consider extending your 7VV meme to the "Danny Phantom" characters? You don't have to do it straightaway. But would you ever do it?

If that’s something you guys want to see, I’ll take requests for it. My whole thing is that I don’t like annoying people, but hey, if you’re not annoyed, then sure! These are a good way to work out my headcanons, even though I usually prefer getting the world-building ones done first and characters later.

Feel free to ask for any “Total Drama”, “OddParents”, “Phantom”, or “ChalkZone” characters that I haven’t done yet, OCs of mine, or any other characters that you think I’m familiar enough with to give it a go.

If you’ve ever read anything I’ve written with Rudy in PMDU, you probably realized pretty quick how much I love Adrienne Kress’s Alex and the Ironic Gentleman and Timothy and the Dragon’s Gate, so they’re fair game too, as are Patricia C. Wrede’s Dealing With Dragons, P.B. Kerr’s Children of the Lamp series, and Laura Ruby’s The Wall and the Wing and The Chaos King.

Those are all obscure books and I don’t expect any of you to take me up on that, but I recommend all of them. Kress’s works are awesome because the two intertwine halfway through Timothy. Dealing With Dragons is pure and good, except I only like the first book of the four (the last one did have a cool non-binary dragon, though). Kerr absolutely nailed the third-person omniscient POV and mind-hopping. Wall and the Wing was a Georgia Book Award once and I carried our reading bowl team for a few years back in my day, so yeah, I know that one in and out. Actually, I’ve had all of these on Audible for ages, so yep. Personal favorites, all of them. I really need to write some ‘fics.

I could try some “Star vs. The Forces of Evil” ones, but with it being an ongoing show I’d rather hold off on that. I prefer to have all the facts before I lay down my headcanons. 

I need to rewatch “Gravity Falls”, because I remember it being a good show, but my watching it was spread over so many weeks that I can’t hold all the details straight and I hate contradicting canon.

I don’t think any of you guys know how much “Phineas and Ferb” I used to watch long ago, but our TV lost the channel around the time they did the “Star Wars” crossover, so I haven’t seen it or the series beyond it. It’s on my to-do list when I’m not so busy.

I’d prefer not to do more “Jimmy Neutron” characters, but if there’s one you really, really want to see, I’ll be willing to make an exception.

And I’m going to immediately turn down any “Undertale” requests because I’m not familiar with them and would feel uncomfortable with that. And I won’t do people from real life or any of my friends’ OCs. 

But otherwise, hit me up.

Just a little something I thought I'd share with you PMDU guys.

The above image was one of the first things I submitted to dA, way back when PMD-E was still active. That was four years ago, back in 2011, from my forever discontinued Event 3 comic. Since then, I've been pushing myself to surpass my limits, looking for new ways to improve while trying out new things I never would've thought of doing. And what a journey it's been!

The bottom image is a little doodle I did just now, of Zola and Ashtar (aka the two classic members of my old Rescuers team for PMD-E). Still, I can't help but smile at how far I've come since then. I've enjoyed playing around with my characters' designs and making them unique from the rest, but do you think it'll end here? No! There's still hundreds of ways I can differentiate Zola from the rest of the Zorua without straying too far from the official concept. Same goes for Ashtar. The possibilities are just endless!

When I first started out, Zola and Ashtar were the complete opposite of their actual personalities: Zola was the stoic and calm girl whereas Ashtar was eager to get missions done quickly. I haven't made that mistake since then as I've swapped their personalities back around so now Zola's the eager type to get things done quickly whereas Ashtar is the calm yet stoic mon.

Anyways, that's enough rambling from me. For now, enjoy the images I present to you so you can see how far I've come throughout the past 4 years.
