I should be keeping up with my own nuzlocke but I wanted to draw in between cooking and watching shenpai's pokethon. Shadowbringers music really hits in the inspiration department, too. I also want to make a poem for this piece, too, just gotta write it down. . .. ... OH GOD I FORGOT HIS SCARS.

A traditional drawing of a steelix named Mochi(designed to also look like the sweet treat), looking back at his trainer to say one last goodbye as a Fire Blast hurls towards him. He says 'Thank you for everything. Now... Finish this.'

I still hate how CSP handles when it comes to coloring and selecting/deselecting, but this is the most small stuff I've drawn in a while. The Pokethon on Shenpai's channel is great inspiration and motivation to just have fun with it again.

Huh, it's a little weird they made Link's and Zelda's face look like-- *sudden realization* IT'S THE TAPESTRY ART THEY'RE MODELED AFTER THE TAPESTRY ART FROM WIND WAKER OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

A still of the opening sequence from LoZ: Wind Waker. The art is very simplistic with Link having a blocky shape and his nose being connected into a square

Hey so like, if you donate to my Ko-Fi with a minimum of [Any Amount], I'll just draw you a little pokemon pfp. Don't give twitch your money. Give this fox dragon your hard earned dabloons instead. ko-fi.com/cyber_dates Hell even if you don't want a pfp, just donate to creators directly instead.

A flyer from Twitch.Tv announcing Pokemon Badges. Pichu is the default while paying for Subs and Gifted Subs will get you one of the three original Kanto Starters. When this first promotion ends, you will be locked out of getting The Starters' and Pichu's evolutionary line badges. It is scummy and clearly meant to induce FOMO.

As for Ralsei, they're a bit harder to nail down. 'Ralsei' is an anagram of 'Asriel', we know that Asriel came to enjoy the Magician Fighter with Twin Swords in that one fighter game mentioned in Ch3. Ralsei uses magic and is clearly holding back in strength, in who they are. But WHAT are they?

But anyway Memories. The Knight flickers in such a way that kind of resembles not only a sound wave but also a brain wave. There have been some who noticed how the flickering also looks like a Seizure signature. So it could just be an allusion to the Brain in general. Now look at the highlight below

This comic I edited will never not be relevant (please let mobile work PLEASE)

A silly comic from Haikyuu with FFXIV character faces imposed over the originals. Yokai Watch minions, Fate Icons, and Yokai medallions are also imposed over other characters and items on the panels.

In summary, Ryu is having a fever dream, he spikes the Dark Knight and Blue Mage jobs at Yokai medallions, screaming and pointing at the prizes to be won with them. The Yo-Kai minions also scream, holding icons for various Fate types in their hands. In the final panel, G'raha wakes Ryu up by coming into his room with watermelon, saying 'At least turn the A.C. on first. You'll cook yourself.'

Pre-HW, Ryu would just give people the thousand yard, wild hare stare(tm) if they ever said something like that to him. Even G'raha made a comment about that when they first met, comparing it to disassociation or like he was in survival mode all the time. Post-HW? It's an invitation to show off more

OH! I found some screenshots from an old forum! This is a character sheet and I remember this I think being the default character icon. I want to say you could customize it but I really really cannot remember too much.

A character sheet for the old R-Fate Browser MMO game. The character's name is Valane, they are a warrior. The screenshot is of the person's character fighting a horde of hornets, each with their own health and MP gauges.

I've been drawing all day to stave off any big hyperfixations that may consume me as a whole. I'm very proud of myself for making progress with Ryu's reference sheet and the Hunabhor Dorm emblem. I messed up a bit on the border, but hopefully it's an easy fix. References below

Yuna

Yuna is a devout and gentle summoner whose life is defined by a sense of profound duty and self-sacrifice. Raised within the strictures of a religious tradition, she initially accepts her role as a martyr destined to defeat the cycle of destruction known as Sin. Her core contradiction lies in her unwavering kindness and desire to protect others, which eventually forces her to dismantle the very institutions she once served. She transitions from a passive follower of fate into an independent seeker who redefines her own path. In conflict, she leads with empathy and calm negotiation, standing firm only when her principles demand a new, more honest direction.

First day of Fanfest was really fun. Still miffed about the whole merch store thing. I managed to get a reservation but dunno if anything will be left by then. We'll see. Enjoyed Jollibee's, though! The food is really good and has a flavor that's vastly different from, say, Popeyes. Highly recommend

A meme in the "Motivational poster" format. It is a cut out manga panel with one character saying "Decimo. Give that Mare Boy what he deserves." as he puts an encouraging hand on his shoulder.

Anyway, here's a WIP of Ryu I'm currently working on and hoping I don't lose the motivation for. I still need to add a lot of pattern and detail to his outfit. And I need to figure out shading and lighting. Context: This is his TWST Dorm Attire Design. Need to still make Dorm Emblem and Coffins

A WIP of an OC Named Ryunosuke Fischer. He has curly red hair, blue eyes, and tiger ears/tail. His outfit is not finished, it is a maroon color with purple accents, a bulky yellow malo around his waist, and a flat-colored 'Ahu 'Ula tied within it. His boots are a metal color with golden accents and clawed toes.

AAAAAA I'm joining the trend. The muse and the father. Normally Ryu would have floppy ears or slightly upturned floppy ears due to my idea of his dragon species having those sorts of ears. But my current hyperfixation is TWST so they're tiger adjacent ears for now picrew.me/en/image_mak...
