Really been on a Pokémon kick recently, and felt like experimenting with some things. Hope you have a nice weekend!

Suicune, the legendary Pokémon, is overlooking a cliff towards the ocean, where a passing cruise liner is sailing into the distance.
In the sky flying are two Wingull, one of which is a shiny variant, with green wings as opposed the usual blue.

"Bell Tower" Been on a Pokémon vibe recently, and we've had some lovely sunsets recently, so I wanted to combine the two! That, and I love Quilava!

Ethan and his partner Quilava are exploring around the Bell Tower in Johto, unaware of the legendary Ho-Oh flying in the sky.
The scene has strong red/ orange/ pink hues, with a Pokemon trainer in the foreground, holding a Pokeball. Quilava is behind him as Ho-Oh flies in the distant sky at sunset. The Bell Tower, a pagoda, stands tall in the back.

Found the best shirt in Chiba today, with a Pikachu evolving on the pocket, and a hidden Raichu hidden away inside! A true pocket monster!

A black t-shirt, with a sprite of Pikachu on the breast pocket. In Japanese text underneath is the exclamation that Pikachu is evolving!

Inside the pocket is a hidden Raichu sprite, indicating that the Pokemon has evolved!

As mentioned in STCTP, I've taken to recolouring some older STC pages for fun. Here's page 5 of STC 126 (my inks and colours compared to the original).

Sonic and Tails chase a 'ghost' through a seemingly haunted house. When going through a door, it seemingly opens to a weird portal, before depositing them into a basement filled with machinery.

Same as previous image, as originally printed in STC 126. All original art done by Richard Elson.

My inks and colours on Mark Bagley's pencils of Ben Reilly, the Spectacular Spider-Man! This was great fun to complete, with my favourite Spidey costume.

Spectacular Spider-Man, leaping towards the viewer. This is the Ben Reilly Spidey costume, with a large spider on the chest and web shooter bracelets. A circular spider web design is behind him.

Learning from the late, great Nigel Dobbyn, with @arq004sp.bsky.social and myself as students! This was the sign up sheet for some art classes during Summer of Sonic, in maybe 2012.

I paid a little over the odds for this (apparently rare) double pack, but absolutely get the Japanese version if you can. It clearly states that it's one of the best 3D shooting games, presented for your pleasure.

Found a small shop in Stoke that had a ton of old Sega magazines. I swear I had half of these back in the day.

I remember stumbling across STC-O 234, being amazed seeing Thalia's art. It all felt so official, and I wanted to be part of it thanks to her. Years later, I got the chance to colour her art, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity.

Set myself the project of inking and colouring the unreleased Sonic the Hedgehog 291. All art by @yardleyart.bsky.social, but I've done this solely for fun and practice. If anyone has the script, then I can add the speech and captions. I'll upload more as I complete them. Enjoy!

Sonic and Tails stop to inspect the ancient echidna mural depicting Eggman and Super Sonic fighting over the Master Emerald. Sonic and Tails turn to a voice in the last panel.

Knuckles appears! Sonic and Knuckles start squaring off, with Knuckles deflecting Sonic's spin attack.

I was testing some watercolour-style digital painting a while back, and I'd love to get back to it. Either way, have some Chao!

Taking advantage by purchasing NiGHTS before it's delisted from Steam in a few days. This is my third copy (one on Saturn, 360 and now this) and would massively encourage anyone interested in buying it now whilst you can!

NiGHTS Into Dreams on Steam, with some appropriate purple, pink and golden lighting which compliments the design of NiGHTS.
