I just learned yesterday that Pikachu, my favorite Pokemon, was originally designed not by Ken Sugimori (he only finalized the design), but by a female graphic designer named Atsuko Nishida. 
Tumblr media
Also after googling her, I found out that she’s also designed Sylveon–another favorite PKMN of mine. She’s also illustrated some very pretty Pokemon cards!!
Thank you Ms. Nishida! :-) May you get more credit and love for your contribution to the Pokemon franchise.

one thing i've always understood as Akira Toriyama's influence on manga, even if just assumption on my part, was how his cartooning came to bear when he started writing pure action manga. when I think of his contemporaries I think of overblown special moves like Saint Seiya or the gory fist clusters of FotNS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
to me it seemed what Toriyama brought to the table was the satisfaction of clarity in martial arts
when you read his fight scenes, which may have become notorious when animated for dragging on, there's no question about what's happening in the action
a clear kick to the jaw
Tumblr media
a clean line of action on Yajirobe's slice
Tumblr media
I first noticed this clarity pretty quickly early on in the General Tao fights during the red ribbon arc, where entire fight scenes playing out with these clear motions on the pages
Tumblr media
Even as it got more detailed later on, the clarity stayed
clear hits on clear fight scenes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and dirtier but still completely legible lines of action
Tumblr media
And when he started introducing the big over the top special moves we got the same thing quite often in DB: that simple visual clarity amplifying the excitement
Tumblr media
i'm not super coherent on it right now, i'm not the biggest shonen action fan all the time and maybe Toriyama didn't introduce the world to visually clear and interesting fights in manga.
but when I see any action manga showing off clean fight choreography or sick ass lazer beams that show off clear shockwaves of destruction, i'll always be thinking of the GOAT
Tumblr media
RIP Akira Toriyama

Hey, y’all! My buddy @connan-bell is an indie artist, and this is his new game. Make (us) Believe is an imagination-based card game about narrating crazy characters through even weirder scenarios. It’s TTRPG meets Apples to Apples, and it’s super fun!

It’s that time of year, babes! Time to churn out 31 50-Word stories this month at a pace of roughly one story per day (if we’re excluding 2022, because that’s an outlier that throws my average way off)!
I’m doing things a little differently this year. In past years, the very cool @Ro.Robinson.writes on Instagram has made a prompt list with 31 words on it. This year, they decided to do 16 words that could have double meanings, which I think is a super cool idea! But I decided I wanted 31 different prompts, so I mixed theirs and the official #inktober2023 prompt list. For the most part, we’re doing Inktober’s evens and Writetober’s odds (except for day 1, because I liked “dream” better than “spider” 😅).
So we’re doing half and half this year! Is this confusing? Probably! Do I care? No, I do not!
We’re kicking off this #Writetober2023 with the prompt: Dream. I hope you enjoy!
(And I hope I keep up! 😅)

tangled gave us so much, but mostly it gave us the beautiful and intense love of a horse and the man he is chasing in order to imprison

hello everyone and happy early pride!! 🌈
this is a project i actually worked on last year but posted it very late into june so i dont think it made the rounds i was hoping… so im starting it out a bit earlier this year 
i’m a sucker for pride flag sticker/etc. designs and i decided to create some of my own - they are subtle enough to be safe for anyone who maybe can’t normally buy pride stuff, but still recognizable within the community (hopefully lmao) 
then, of course i wanted to combine them all into one big piece that would still be subtle - i was inspired by those vintage butterfly species posters and wanted to recreate a version of that with my pride butterflies! the labels underneath each butterfly are short descriptions of what each flag represents, to also help keep things under the radar. super special thanks to @yourlocaltrylingual for helping me with the french translations <3333
all of the individual butterflies can be found on my redbubble, as well as the main poster! they all have nondescript names for safe ordering <3 
i hope everyone has a safe and happy pride month, i couldn’t have asked for a better community to be a part of!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
