I'm introducing my partner to the Borderlands series, so I felt it was appropriate to draw this.

Spring has come, and my sinuses have left. Hopefully this comic helps someone else have an important realization about their health, and they don't have to find it out 20 years too late like I did.

To celebrate the Season 2 premiere of Chibi Godzilla Raids Again (aka Peak Kaiju Media™), I drew chibi forms for Kong, Skar King, and Shimo, too!

Alright, I think it's time for me to break my NDA and spill the beans on what my company has been working on- We're making a straight-to-streaming animated film for the Carly Dolls Darbie franchise, coming exactly one year from now! I didn't believe they let me put actual JoJo references in it, but here we are! Can't wait for you all to be able to watch it soon!

Link for more info! (No like, legit, this isn't even an April Fools' thing- this part is an actual pilot I helped work on!)

just testing a character with mantid arms on their face that fold up into a mask! The colors are obviously not final, just there to help me keep track of the design for now.

A lot of people have been guessing which character is going to be sent back in time to past Kalos in Legends Z-A, but I wanted to try my hand at having a character from the past show up instead! Specifically, a fankid!

If we’re going off real-world history inspirations, Legends Z-A might take place a little over 10 years after Legends Arceus, so Iscan and Palina could have a tween/teen kid by this point! I was also thinking that like Perrin, she could gift the player a Hisuian Qwilfish as a reward for finishing a section of the Pokedex!

These past few months I've been catching up with Hilda S2+3 and Moon Girl S1+2, and I have to say I'm so glad I waited this long to binge them, because waiting 1 whole year between seasons with cliffhanger finales would have been a nightmare, haha- and I'm saying this as someone who watched Gravity Falls and Steven Universe while they were still airing!

By the way- absolutely loved Hilda and loving Moon Girl right now- such amazing art, animation, writing, creative designs. And I'm really happy with how un-fandom-y they feel (I know I probably shouldn't be saying this on Tumblr) where it feels like they aren't trying to be too edgy, or have any love triangles, or any characters that feel like they were designed to be eye candy for teenagers (or self-insert ship bait as a whole). Even some of the best modern animated shows and movies I've loved recently feel like they fell victim a bit to things like that.

Since we never got a Guardian Signs manga, I tried speculating on what Ben and Summer would be like if we did!

(Sidenote, are there any decent scans of the first two Ranger manga? All the ones I've seen just use the Japanese names of all the human and Pokemon characters for some reason)

JoJoMon Adventures Part 9: Scarlet as Jodio!

What might sadly be the final JoJoMon post we'll ever get- When you're a sociopathic schoolkid cruising around the land with your big spider as you hustle for dough.

Previous parts:

(Part 1)//(Part 2)//(Part 3)//(Part 4)//(Part 5)//(Part 6)//(Part 7)//(Part 8)

The other parts of this series are already around three years old, so I'm wondering if I should re-do them with better art, and/or if I should wait for JoJoLands' villain to be revealed so I can do a villains version of this too! Let me know!

I made a new animation for the latest Pokemon Legends announcement!

Challenged myself to see how much I could get done in 24 hours! (I am so tired)

Legends Z-A Thoughts and Theories!

Okay, I was pretty quiet on my opinions for Scarlet and Violet, but I'm confident enough to be very pleased and optimistic for this! Legends Arceus was the strongest Pokemon game we had in a decade, and to see them continue this, bring back Megas, and take an extra year to hopefully make it non-buggy? Makes me so so excited!

On Megas:

It's a bit of a surprise to see Megas back, but honestly? Not too much of a surprise. Even ignoring the inevitability of Kalos remakes, Megas are the only gimmick Pokemon kept around in their spinoffs. It was in Mystery Dungeon, Shuffle, Smash Bros, Pokemon Go, and probably more I'm forgetting! So it was always in the back of Gamefreak's mind and I'm glad it's truly back again!

With Gens 8 and 9 bringing back cross-gen evos, I think they'll focus on only giving Megas to three-stage lines, to not quash the potential of 2nd stage Pokemon getting regular evolutions. So starters and Pokemon like Flygon can get Megas since they can't evolve further, but Pokemon like Tropius and Chimecho probably won't, in case they get evolutions in Gen 10 (That then get Megas)

I also don't think we fully grasp how many more Pokemon can get Megas now, too. Barely any of Gen 5 and 6 had Megas (Seriously only 2 Pokemon between the 228 Pokemon in those gens) and we've had THREE more generations since then!!

Note: We went from wanting a Dunsparce evo, to wanting a Dunsparce Mega, to getting Dudunsparce with mixed fan reception. Now I'm going to be a selfish deluded clown bitch and get my hopes up for a Mega Dudunsparce.

Speaking of starters and Megas, do we think we'll get a mish-mash of older starters for this game that then get Megas (Say, Piplup, Snivy, and Scorbunny) or will we get Megas for the three Kalos starters?

Megas may mean Mega Stones return as held items, and held items weren't in Legends Arceus- new gameplay advancement?

Legends Arceus gave us 7 new Pokemon (most of them cross-gen evos) and a dozen new regional forms. Do you think we'll still get regionals this game, or will the design team be focused more on making new Megas instead?

On the world:

It's been confirmed the whole game is only in Lumiose City- how big is the map?? Hopefully we really do get lots of sidequests, biomes for wild Pokemon, and traversal options.

When is this? We're redeveloping Lumiose City, but are we in the past developing it into its current state, or are we in the present/future developing it into a new solarpunk city? Or neither, and this is a "Paradox" game set in a timeline which doesn't quite match ours?

This doesn't have to be an isekai (as in, we don't have to be time travellers again per se), just keep that in mind!

The "Z" in the logo represents Zygarde, with the black color and green hexagons. So who's the "A"? It's green with green scale/leaf patterns on it. What does it represent? The "Chaos" to Zygarde's "Order"? Is it a 5th Zygarde form or is it a whole new Pokemon?

Meta thoughts:

This further confirms my theory that Gen 9 will last until 2026, where they announce Gen 10 on that year's Pokemon Day for their 30th anniversary, and that's great! I'm glad they aren't overworking themselves too much compared to Gens 6-8.

On them "skipping" Unova remakes: I don't see this as skipping. We've been long overdue for a Z version since Kalos is literally the only Pokemon region to only appear in one release (no third version, no remakes, no sequels, no ultras, no DLC). So we're simply making up for the "deficit" of a third version here, and we can go back to focusing on Unova remakes for Gen 10.

Do you think we'll get any final updates to SV to tide us over until the next LegendZ trailer around August? Maybe a small DLC, mythical reveal, or free update?

Pokemon Adventures skipped the last Legends game, so they'll probably skip this one too? I'm fine either way- at least by skipping it, they won't be too rushed and stressed, and they'll actually have the time to flesh out SV and catch up with ORAS/SM/USUM/SwSh in the full volumes.

But on the off chance they do adapt Legends Z-A, do you think we'll get dexholders named Z and A??

Note for the future- the Yoasobi Pokemon song BiriBiri has a part where they namedrop all the game titles- one part has the lyrics "ABC to the XYZ". Long shot, but if Legends Z-A does indeed have an ABC theming, this could be a crazy bit of either coincidental or intentional foreshadowing!

Trying out a design for Hecate in my Eris series! One of my favorite parts of this is seeing how far I can take the design while still being faithful to the myths!

I can't believe 10 years ago I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy with my friend because we were both huge Borderlands fans and thought the aesthetic matched the games.

Now one critically acclaimed GotG trilogy later, we're actually getting a Borderlands movie, just with good actors in miscast roles, unfaithful plot, and awful dialogue that many commenters are rightfully calling a "knockoff GotG movie".

Oh how the tables chair...

And while I'm a huge Jack Black fan, his voice acting as Claptrap is ungodly awful here. If the world and people were fair, he'd be getting more hate for this than Chris Pratt did for doing okay as Mario. But he won't.
