#out of my sketchbook

[sarasa-cat]

When you are sketching out a series of quick compositions for what is supposed to be a G rated background painting and you are referencing a bunch of photos for the background and just working abstractly to create shapes and colors that fit a color theme and everything that was going well suddenly looks extremely XXX but in the attempt to remove unfortunate shapes of unfortunate proportions in unfortunate colors, it just gets worse.

So extremely worse.

Oh well. Let’s just X this one out and try again.

You gotta excuse his 1920's ass, he's still learning slangs

Cricket Cat concept. Do you see it? Do you see my vision? I don't think they'd purr or meow, just chirp with their wings.

Downtime.

Mask is still getting used to having to share his big brother with someone else.

being an artist is wanting to draw every time you shouldnt be drawing and not drawing when you should be

It’s everybody’s favorite lantern! Ingo's partner pokemon's very chaos incorporated. Inspired by the very enthusiastic asks in my inbox, which I’ll be responding to under this cut ;0 Wanna see more? Check out this submas masterlist.

@euos-the-cat AAA thank you! I took one look at that waxy gremlin and thought "huh. I can do something with this."

@eventhetiniestbugs Yo. YO. HEADCANNON ACCEPTED. Litwick really is sort of a beatrice, isn't she? Being Ingo (and in part, Emmet's) unwilling guide. Reluctant friend. Best found family.

@answrs Thanks!!! I love sneasler and I need to draw her more. It wasn't on purpose, but it seems I've accidentally wrote myself into a Sort Of chronological posting (oops!) But sneasler WILL appear later (hopefully BEFORE my hyperfixation fizzles out haha)

@raynavan AhHEhEHEHEH. I usually don't dabble with too much angst, but yeah. On the plus side, uh, more chandelure emmet interactions! On the down side, well.

@blueisquitetired You learn to like rice. It's a staple in your diet, and while you may think its bland and boring, it becomes something you can always rely on during meal time when things get dicey. Or, well. It was.

@moothebloo ...DEFINITELY SAVING THAT FOR LATER. CHANDELURE ANGRY SHARPIE BROWS LETS GOO. (Idk if you're into rottmnt, but uh that's some donnie behaviors that I definitely approve of.)

@gender-nuteral-nut-boy First of all, amazing user name. you get all the gender. second of all (points at picture) she's doing finnee! She's doing So Great. Don't Worry About It. ((She has emmet, and later the gear station, and even later maybe even elesa. But Ingo's Hers, and that's a wound that can't be easily staunched.)) @ghostlykryptonitenight Ah,, you see, your first mistake is thinking she'll Remember. : )

Head cannon: ghost pokemon are not a direct reincarnation of a dead soul, and are more like… say, the mold that grows from a coffee mug left out for too long. But they have fragments of memories and dreams of cherished ones. Chandelure knows Ingo’s alive thanks to their bond. She vaguely knows her propagator probably knew Ingo’s identical great uncle or something. But those pieces don’t really connect until Emmet’s research, and she’s tired and faded and the simple act of trying hurts.

(She would leap through space and time for ingo. Chandelure and Emmet would do anything to get their muppet back, even if it means to salt the earth and unearth gods.)

Picture me drawing this in a hotel bar in Michigan. Watson’s Sketchbook has returned with THE CARDBOARD BOX!

I chose to put this right after SIGN OF THE FOUR because of Holmes’s magnificently bitchy “don’t even bother crediting me” moment that I felt deserved a deeper reason than dunking on Lestrade for no reason.

There’s also the quote about the potential meaninglessness of life that ends the story and is, again, weirdly poignant for a fairly ordinary case. The drawing for that quote is inspired by this Paget piece I love:

(This is in the Watson’s sketchbook series!)
