With only about $200 in my bank account and 3-4 months before I'm back to work, I need to promote my Ko-fi account. I'm not going to beg or paywall any of my sketches. But if you feel like throwing a few bucks my way to help me get through the winter, it would go a long way. :)

Day 10 of Inktober

Made this for my best friend. He only asked for a halberd but I gave him a Shuckle Shield.

Daily Pokemon art practice #685: Slurpuff

Anybody else reminded of the Bundt Cake from Super Mario RPG?

This is a pencil sketch of Slurpuff. The text at the bottom reads "#0685, Slurpuff, 10/10/2025"

Daily Pokemon art practice #684: Swirlix

Decided to break the blending stump out again, so this one could look a bit less sketchy and a bit more textured. I forgot how much I love these things.

This is a pencil sketch of Swirlix. The text at the bottom reads "#0684, Swirlix, 10/9/2025"

When your fluffy bird orb decides to glam up and show some leg.

You definitely kept the proportions more accurate than I did a few days ago, great job!

RuNoMai @runomai.bsky.social · 3d

Definitely having a rough time with my blood pressure meds being doubled, and changing the pill I take. I've been really dizzy, tired, and sweaty the past few days, it makes me constantly feel exhausted and gross and unfocused and gross.

Daily Pokemon art practice #681: Aegislash

I could have drawn both forms, but I'm adjusting to a doubled dose of blood pressure medication and didn't feel entirely up to it.

I do, however, feel like this is one of my better recent drawings.

This is a pencil sketch of Aegislash. The text at the bottom reads "#0681, Aegislash, 10/6/2025"

Just tried that new "Scorchin' Hot" sauce that Wendy's has now. It's not bad, but let's be honest, it's barely a step above mild.

The sweet chili is really good though and will be my new go-to until it's inevitably discontinued.

It's actually very easy to police. All you have to do is NOT reflexively ignore it when somebody reports a post/account for bigotry.

Daily Pokemon art practice #680: Doublade

I was feeling really good about this one until I started shading and realized how badly I messed up the symmetry in the middle.

This is a pencil sketch of Doublade. The text at the bottom reads "#0680, Doublade, 10/5/2025"

RuNoMai @runomai.bsky.social · 6d

Agreed, I tried one a while back and it was delicious.

Daily Pokemon art practice #679: Honedge

Very fun draw today, I loved the pattern and shadows on this one.

This is a pencil sketch of Honedge. The text at the bottom reads "#0679, Honedge, 10/4/2025"

Daily Pokemon art practice #678: Meowstic

I tried to space it out so I could draw both forms without going too big to fit them both, but due to my incompetence Meowstic becomes the first Pokemon in this marathon to have the dubious honor of having part of itself blocked by its own alternate form.

This is a pencil sketch of Meowstic in both its forms. The lower left is female Meowstic, and the upper right is male Meowstic. The text in the lower right reads "#0678, Meowstic, 10/3/2025"

Daily Pokemon art practice #677: Espurr

I love this little thing. It has all the energy of a child who just walked in on their parents.

This is a pencil sketch of Espurr. The text at the bottom reads "#0677, Espurr, 10/2/2025"

RuNoMai @runomai.bsky.social · 8d

Do you ever consider that when you have many, many users telling you, Jay, and other Bluesky staff how and why the new rules and policies make them feel unsafe and the site worse, you should... I dunno... listen?

People used to call Bluesky "the good site". Don't you want to go back to those days?

You’re never too old to start drawing.
