HUGE PIECE FOR ARTFIGHT 2024! I Want To Thank The Community, But It's In The Desc :) This Piece Contains

I recently got back from a summer camp, and while I was bored I sketched a lot of Drawn to Life stuff. Slowly but surely slipping into an art style I like!

I also finally drew stuff for an AU that I had in my head. I’ll try not to write too much, but it takes place after the events of the first game; instead of Wilfre fading away after his fight with the Hero, he just retreated. So the Shadow was never resolved that first time, only driven back.

As a sort of peace treaty between the Shadow and the raposa, Wilfre drew a Shadow Being for the new mayor of Rapoville, Mari, to care for.

As long as the child stayed safe, Wilfre would keep the Shadow away from the village. Mari considered it a sacrifice worthy to make for the safety of the other raposa, so of course she accepted; even if she had a hard time looking at the thing, let alone raising it.

I think the whole story idea stemmed from the little shadow kids in the city levels, since those little guys got me thinking that the Shadow might be misunderstood. They just looked too innocent to be evil, you know?

So I think the story’s purpose is to kind of have the raposa realize the the Shadow is not inherently evil, despite the actions of the rapo who created it.

Yeah, ramble over. Now that I’m sorta getting the hang of drawing raposa, I might make a comic about it. It could be fun.

I haven't kept pet rats since I was a kid, but they still hold a very special place in my heart <3

A conversation earlier with a friend brought back some memories of one of my old fakemon, and his shiny Rotom pal / Pinky to his Brain.

His name's Devoker, and he's a mythical ghost/psychic Pokemon. He is a malevolent, uninvited resident of the Old Chateau, the infamous manor that sits mostly untouched (by the living, at least) in the Sinnoh region. To prevent myself from rambling too much, I'll put the rest of the info I remember about him in a list format loll:

-His ability is called "Spirakinesis," allowing him temporary control over any ghost types near him (think Marshadow from that one movie, but with just one type). His eyes and red fur-markings will glow purple when using it.

-His base moveset is Shadow Claw, Psychic, Wil o' Wisps, and Destiny Bond.

-His "crown" always floats above his head in preparation/during a move, and will stay there if using his ability.

-Since his paws are very stubby, he uses his ears to walk, stand, attack, etc.

-Like some legendaries, and some other mythical Pokemon, Devoker can speak to both humans and Pokemon alike. Though that doesn't mean he's very pleasant to talk to; this self-proclaimed "king of ghost-types" is rude, grumpy, and borderline insane at times.

-Made a sort of friend in the shiny Rotom that lives inside of the Old Chateau's broken TV, though it seems only interested in keeping him from causing too much damage than actual companionship with him (based off of the shiny Rotom that I encountered during my playthrough of Platinum when I was little... I ran out of Pokeballs. Yes my sib and I made this Rotom character to cope-)

-Enjoys burnt food and watching static, like a lunatic.

-Absolutely despises any form of music.

-He once fell in love with a Mawile that wandered into the manor at some point. Rotom got some hope during this period that his infatuation with her might compel him to change his act a bit (megamind style), but things didn't exactly turn out as planned. I'll leave it at that for now, maybe I'll write a story about it you never know.

-Bro came to me in a weird nightmare while I was playing Platinum. Old Chateau scared me a lot ngl.

Update, he has some spookier photos now >:3

Rattober from a few years ago. I'm doing rattober again this year, but in traditional medium. I'll post them when I get everything scanned.

A small mock up I did a few days ago of what the starting area for my Steampunk Party would like like ^^ plus a few items that would be interactable(?) I can’t English

I definitely didn't forgo sleep last night to draw the funny psychokinetic cyborg fish. Definitely. He absolutely does not have me in a choke hold as the Dog Man movie gets closer. You can trust me.

Also putting pre-mech him here out of his fishbowl because im kinda proud with how he turned out :3
