I have been battling a lot of job stress and chiseling away at a few big commissions so progress has seemed minimal, but I'm (barely) alive! In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of a rescued trio from my Pokemon story. :}

I did this comic as a treat to myself because of job stress :} Very slowly chiseling away at commissions and such!

comic with several Zelda villains disappointed in Zant's lackluster finale, Ghirahim telling him he should have just said he wanted to be Ganondorf's boy toy from the start, causing everyone to look at him, and he admits he would totally be Ganondorf's boy toy. Still staring at him, Ghirahim says "Like you haven't seen Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf, come on!" which makes Ganondorf blush.

I'm not saying parrots can't be intimidating on their own, but sometimes I feel like there might be more to the reasoning behind certain Pokemon's abilities. Featuring @lizardlooker 's Blaziken, Cooda, because I hecking LOVE her pretty design! (I'm the short Blaziken with the ski goggles and scarf)

comic featuring two Blazikens trying to avoid eye contact with a Squawkabilly with Intimidate, who proceeds to corner them and talk their ear off about how she's completely innocent in her daily Karen activities, the punchline is that the Intimidate ability lowers the Blazikens' attack/ability to get away.

Found out Tiana Camacho does my mafia waifu's English voice for Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis movie, and since she'll be at San Japan next weekend, I drew her an art! For those that know nothing about Prince of Tennis, yes, she is breakdancing, don't ask how practical it is, just embrace the hotness.

One, I'm alive, yay! Two, Spanish Meta Knight is the best thing 4kids ever gave us, and three, this comic is also a throwback to a running joke in my ancient, nonsurviving Smash comics where Nana was a yaoi fangirl. I'm trying to revive my Smash comics with everyone revamped.

This was when I was still using Paint Tool SAI and learned that SAI has a layer limit of 256. I had to do a LOT of layer consolidation. Anywho, enjoy one of my largest masterpieces!

Serious art is coming, just struggling to keep FA AND Bluesky updated since I know FA frowns on human art (and I've been uploading older art to keep up).
Featuring two peeps in one of my fave Discords, who made this silly gem I HAD to draw. :} the fox character belongs to @Joeysimons.

This was a gift for my friend @Renlu , featuring her ball python gal and my smol garter snek :> (I ran out of time when I wanted to give this and there's a longer story behind that, so the beach picture is a stock image I pasted in at the last minute)

Another comic I plan on finishing one day after I clear my queue! (Sorry, I have a LOT on my plate at the moment)
Combining my love of Majora's Mask with my very new knowledge of the newer games, a clip from The Golden Girls made me want to do this. Sidon seems like he would be the denial type.

comic with Tulin wondering why a wiki doesn't have Mikau's death date listed, Sidon is in denial that he's dead

Sometimes you get an idea that you NEED to draw because it won't be as funny later, even if it's a throwback to a previous installment with different final smashes. Back to queue work! :D

comic of Super Smash Bros. Brawl with me failing Donkey Kong's final smash, so DK throws the bongos at Link's head while Ike jeers him on and then gets pummeled with Snake and Wario riding in the cardboard box

Whoops, sorry for late upload! I have been busy with all sorts of art stuff (as well as irl bs and otherwise). @DFStarfield 's bunny characters in a DND scenario, with the goth bunny begrudgingly protecting her idiot bard partners. I think names are still pending lol <3
