In a more lighthearted note, today is Aki's birthday! I created his design a year ago today, on October 8th. Actually, his design isn't that far off from what it turned into, besides a small hair tuft and a LOT of artstyle improvement.
The left is the first time I ever drew him

Original concept sketch from October 8th, 2024

Recent drawing of him from this September

There's family struggles, too...
Maple wants to leave home in the forest to join the Guild one day but her older sister is concerned that she'll be in danger with being away from home on her own, after losing both of their parents years ago.

Also, like with work, drawing and me wanting to play console games I'm barely gonna have any time to play so I might end up only doing a couple matches a day. Ugh, I'm tempted but there's a lot working against me

Tempted to get back into Unite tbh, I havent played since autumn 2021
Am I gonna be overwhelmed by all the new stuff? Are the microtransactions worse than they used to be?
I might start a new account completely, the old one had a stupid nickname

It is, I remember whipping that concept up after finishing up a different drawing that same night
It was only right about then that I learned how to make grass look decent, lol

I don't think I ever explained the backstory behind their parents (a Flareon and a Sylveon)
They were experienced adventurers/treasure hunters, and one day they learned about a mysterious treasure on a faraway island and went for it. But they never came back. What exactly happened is still unclear.

I would open it sooner but I need to draw emotes lol
I know it's optional and my old server never had emotes for those who are in there, but they're a nice touch that I'd like to have...the new server is already feeling a lot more immersive I think

My revamped Discord server is making great progress and I intend to open it sometime in November! But for now, the Stardust Sanctuary is still under construction :3

It'll be a nice kind of place where you can relax and chat with some friends while watching the stars go by 🌌✨️

Random thought, it's honestly amazing that some ppl have been drawing online for almost as long as I've even been alive (2004)
But it's also neat huh
I might not have been actively drawing Pokemon on the internet for more than a couple of years but I'm happy to be here

I said I started rewatching the Pokemon anime a while back but I finally finished Kanto lol (I've been taking it slow)
Orange islands is up next and from what I remember that arc was fun tbh even if not much happens

One of my favorite mons! :D
(Also, drawing legs like that is kinda tricky that my style kind of just simplifies them a lot to the point where they don't even look like they go backwards as much as they anatomically should but its fiiiiine)

Autumn Sunset 🌅

Tried to make an autumn themed piece with a limited palette using only orange (and red and yellow and white i guess) and also redesigned an unnamed autumn themed Sprigatito I drew exactly twice last year and never again
