I finally got all my brain ducks into enough of a row to send this! I just wanted to say that Tumblr recommended your art to me on a whim, and I am actually OBSESSED now lol. I had no prior investment in Submas or anything tangentially related to it prior to this (aside from liking Pokémon generally lol), but I couldn’t help but tear through everything you’ve drawn for these silly little rat children and I love them so much now!!! I wanna pick them up and shake him around like little action figures! The shenanigans and the heartfelt moments are just,, UGH so good! I have no words! Thank you for the food I am going FERAL over them <3
Your art is also high key goals for me now tbh. I absolutely ADORE your coloring and rendering style, and also they way you draw Pokémon in general?? Very animalistic but still recognizably Pokémon?? Literally galaxy brained. I’m going to SCREAM. I know you already posted a bit of your art process, but I’d love to know if you’ve got any rendering tips and/or how you get that clean but sketchy look. It looks so good I want to eat it lol.
(Also I really love the way you’ve been formatting Elesa’s dialog, with the extra lines around the letters. It really gives the vibe that her grasp on Galarian is currently shaky at best and idk, I like that you’ve managed to find a way to convey that over text. I think that’s pretty cool :D)
I SAW YOU REBLOG A WHOLE BUNCH AND IM,,, (throwing hearts at you)
Thank you so so much! I’m glad you love these terrible little guys wandering Unova just as much as I do, haha!
As a treat, lemme pull out some drafting for the mini illustrations. I usually start every snapshot with a run down of what I remember from the area, possible shenanigans encountered, and then a doodle of ideas to come.
From there, it’s a SUPER rough sketch, followed by lineart and rough color, and then cleanup!
(More thumbs and their finals below!)
At the end of the day, all my lines are VERY sketchy. I’m a lot stronger when it comes to mashing colors. That, and if you set your line layer from normal to multiply, the lines will always be automatically darker then whatever layer is placed underneath. It’s a trick used quite a bit for placing cel shadows in animation, but it’s useful for lineart in a pinch.
For colors, I like to stick to a limited pallet and branch out only after setting my primary colors. This entire series has been very experimental for me though, as you can probably tell.
As for the last bit— YES… YOU GET IT! As Elesa grows, the lines in her dialogue will start appearing less and less. It’s the little things that map the span of time for these guys.
Yippee!

No!!! It’s not over!!! It’s not!! We are not losing mcr this time! They won’t leave us again! I know it’s hard to say goodbye for now but trust me! There’s more good to come! They need to take their time and if we have to wait another month or year for them to feel comfortable and ready to share something new then we will!! It’s okay, don’t cry! Looks at them go, don’t they seem happy? Aren’t they glowing with joy as they play their little songs for us? For all of us, not just those in japan but those all over the world, those who follow them with so much excitement and joy each time? Isn’t that beautiful? Isn’t that exactly how it’s meant to be? It’s okay you can cry a bit but don’t let this defeat you!! They are back!! They are back and the world is ugly and cruel and it’s hard to believe in anything these days but american rock band my chemical romance is back and i think that at least makes it just a little more beautiful to all of us:’))) don’t you think?

cont. II @dillusionalgrins:
"Oh, I do so enjoy a good game." The voice purred out towards Tim. Deep. Thoughtful. Almost as if he was sized up and put down about it." What is truly a game without the company of a party? Would two plus two truly equal four? Or would children wearing the tights of a hero truly be considered crazy! No different than the crazy people they hunt for on the dank streets of Gotham."
The patter of feet could be heard. Almost on purpose to lead the child to him. Licking his odd colored fur with looks being on his mind more that the human boy who was swiftly approching.
Tim's footfalls were near-silent in return. It was unlikely that this newcomer couldn't see him, but on the off-chance that he couldn't, it would give Tim an advantage. And right now, they'd take any advantage they could get.
Besides, even if Tim was visible, the less human he could make himself seem, the higher the potential for intimidation became. As such, he also shrouded himself in the shadow of his cape, letting the outer black fabric of it cover him completely, where his hands could reach for all sorts of weapons and still go unnoticed.
They continued to creep toward where they'd heard the other person step.
"A lot of the bad guys in this city like games. You one of them? One of the ones I 'hunt'?" Underneath his cape, his hand encircled the collapsed bo at the small of his back. "I mean, you definitely sound like a particular one, with your voice and the stuff about a party."
Time to throw the metaphorical dice. "Is it a tea party you're after?"
