shiny duo pokemon au "Pokémon’s Shiny Jewels Sun&Moonstone" by @wyvernspirit and I

THE POKEMON TOURNAMENT IS OVER THE 3DS SERVERS ARE DOWN

4 WEEKS OF BATTLING 42 CHALLENGERS 68 BATTLES AGAINST ME

If you wanna know WHO WON, I published the results in an openly available post on Patreon! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO PARTICIPATED!!! This was a REALLY special event and I'm so glad so many people stayed until the VERY END to trade and battle with me and my community until the servers shut down!

I WILL MISS THE ONLINE FUNCTIONS, it feels like the end of an era 😭 Not to mention there was something quite poetic about the servers of Sun and Moon going down on the day of an Eclipse... My Patrons helped me hack my 3DS so maybe we get to enjoy servers run by the Pokemon homebrewing community one day, who knows ;w;

Also thank you to everyone who gifted me a special Pokemon via trade!! I gave out little Joltiks in the end as a participation price, each one named "Nugget" with the same nature and Compound Eyes ;w; Hope you all take good care of your little Nuggets!! Thanks for joining the event :D

Here's all the (completed) Villain Arc art for Pokemon Masters!

Edit: Fuck, I forgot the Alola art. Fixed.

shirahama-sensei reminded me she has a thing for the teacher from pokemon s/v so i randomly went off on an au where qifrey is the professor. etc

WOAH it's been awhile since I've posted, I apologize! Here are some of the drawings I've been doing, I have a few more but alas i can only fit so much into one post

I thought of Teba as a teenager the other day and suddenly had the strongest urge to draw him ✨

man. you know what i fucking think about all the time? vex and vax and the deities that they become champions to. how even those gods reflect the entanglement that is their life, how vax steps in front of a goddess on his stalwart hope in the world and demands she choose him and how vex is so tentative, barely speaks up because she’s fighting against every instinct she’s learned that tells her not to hope that she could be worthy enough, certainly not to a god.

and the gods that choose them, the gods they choose? they’re both reflections of one another to each other. vax, whose championship arose out of his commitment to never leave his sister’s side? his god is the matron of ravens, a sad woman who dons a mask. a mortal who fought tooth and nail to arrive at the power she has. vex, whose championship arrives after her brother’s hope in the future and her future specifically has rubbed off on her and encouraged her own growth to believing? she is greeted with pelor, who stands strong and painfully bright, but she’s granted the gift to see through it to warm eyes and a bright smile. who affirms the hope that lives in her.

and man, it’s even more extraordinary to me that the comparison between the given twin’s god and their sibling gets made by that sibling in scenes where they directly speak to the gods their twin has chosen. during vax’s resurrection ritual, vex bargains with the raven queen because she knows she’s someone who bargains like vex herself does, and she’s someone that values vax, maybe not quite as much as she does, but enough. and during vex’s trial, as the dawn father searches for his hope among the love for vex among vox machina, vax’s affirmation is that vex is his hope, so she should certainly be sufficient to be pelor’s.

and god the black death walker’s ward and the white dragon armour? vax’s wings and vex’s blessing? vax as a shroud of darkness visiting this plane, embracing the literally glowing shape of his sister on her wedding day? the poetry of vex and vax and pelor and the matron of ravens is enormous and so much of it is fucking. improv.

machines are human, too.

thinking about that idea where Keith really is a port brat raised on the fringes of the Galra Empire but taking it in a different direction this time. He was still born on Earth, and Krolia left him and his dad like she does in canon, but they later wind up abducted when the Galra come back a third time (though Heath manages to prevent them from finding out about the blue lion).

The Galra establish that Keith is half-Galra, so he's separated from his dad at a young age to be raised as a part of the Empire. He runs away when he's a teenager, and ends up as part of a group of Galra delinquents who typically make trouble for the soldiers while dodging the draft themselves. He's passively looking for his dad (he can barely remember him) and is not really looking for his mom at all when he hears a rumor that the current Champion looks just like him.

When he hears that he'll be brought to the colony he lives in... curiosity gets the best of him. He wants to see this Champion for himself.
