[ID: the first image is an illustration of a cluttered sewing room, and the second and third images show cropped detail shots. cork boards and the walls are covered in sketches of outfit concepts, sewing supplies, and sticky notes. the artist's original character, Azor, is seen sitting in the back at a sewing machine. he has light, warm-toned skin, pink eyes, and short grey hair, and is wearing a form-fitting long-sleeve black top, white jeans, and black boots. a joltik sits on his head. he has one arm over his chair as he turns around to call to the pokemon in the foreground. standing on a bench covered in loose sheets of fabric is an Eevee, looking down and raising one paw excitedly towards a Galvantula, who raises a palp up. a Spinarak stands next to Eevee and stares at it.
more bug-type pokemon are seen throughout the image, including: a Scatterbug and Spewpa sleeping under the bench in the foreground; a Silcoon, Caterpie, Weedle, and Joltik all around Azor's sticker-covered desk; a Tarountula clinging to a dress form that a Sizzlipede rests on like a scarf; two more Joltik, including a shiny one, on a spider web in the back left corner; and another Spinarak walking on the ceiling.
other miscellaneous decorations scattered around the room include an empty, heart-shaped coat hanger on the wall, with a long pink 'moth wing' cape with a fluffy white collar hanging next to it; a board with a display of the Enjay region gym badges (from left to right: ghost, water, ground, normal, fighting, fire, dragon, and bug); and a photo of Azor with his two siblings. /END ID]
