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!

So! The evil art challenge!
Thank you everyone who gave their input, you wrote really nice things💙💙 and you've definitely picked out my habits pretty well, lmao. Below I'll write a breakdown of my style and thoughts behind the "evil" version.
Aesthetically I love pastel and saturated colors and I'm 100% biased toward cooler tones. Regardless of color, whether it's red or blue adjacent, I'll always pick the cooler variable of it. I tend to avoid using black and I particularly have an aversion toward basic red.
I have a short attention span and limited reserves of energy, so I try to work fast and stick to simple techniques; hence the sketchy linearts and mostly flat colors. I also just visually like smooth surfaces and gradients.
I want to convey the shapes and weight of the things I draw but with a minimalistic amount of lines and shading. This ties into putting emphasis on anatomy and muscles. I do tend to spend a lot of time sketching, because I usually have a very specific pose or vibe in my mind, and I want to be able to capture it.
For the "evil" version:
- I sketched Raph and Leo a lot faster and attempted stiffer poses than in the normal one.
- Thick and non-sketchy lineart
- Dark and reddish color scheme
- More rendered, airbrushy and kinda messy shading (I suffered)
- Slightly less defined muscles...?
At some point I thought I should make them sharper, but then I just forgot lol.
Also, here's a flat colored version of the evil art because I like it 100% better. (Works better with the lineart style)
I picked Leo and Raph for this challenge for the opposing red and blue color schemes. As an extra, I put them in Fast Forward gear, as its blueness and the season's more saturated look are very fitting for my style. And then I'd get to make it work in a warmer tone.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed my ramblings and art~

Hey, this isn’t really an ask. Just wanted to drop by and say that I really like your art, the feel and vibe of it especially how it has its own unique style. Your lineart is really crispy, however weird that may sound but it makes complete sense to me. Same goes for the coloring. Love the rough coloring over your drawings and how it gives off this off putting vibe, like something is horribly wrong, especially with the red scribbly background that ties it all together. Hope this doesn’t sound too weird, just appreciating your art over here.
Also breeding kink and collars, fuck yeah. Me too, brother. 🤝
Whaaat no way, the ashersanity in my asks? I'm so honored haha! I love your fics, you have some great talent for writing man, tbh it's rare to see people writing for male reader you're doing me and a bunch of people a service.
I love your drawings as well! The way you do the lines is spotless and pleasing to the eye, also the expressions are great, I love the way you make the eyes look so appealing. Haha, I've been lurking your blog for a while, sorry I'm too quiet, I rarely do asks, but let me tell ya you're fucking great.
Hell yeah brother, collars and breeding are the best frfr 🤝
Here's a little sketch of my sona Johann and Asher, you can add it to the growing asher shrine lmao ((Asher belongs to @/ashersanity not me.))
