Happy Pokemon Day, everyone! I'm so happy to see Eternal Floette is back - the Florges line is one of my favorites! I'm looking forward to Legends: ZA!

While digging through some old files, I found a sprite of Merlon from Paper Mario. Those original sprites were originally made back in 2009-2010 - a whopping 15 years ago!
I took the time to revamp those sprites into what you see here: an M&L-style Merlon!

The final piece of my "Pokemon & Me" series, featuring Malice the Heracross! I made this series back in 2019, and it was the first real project I tackled after a huge event in my life. As such, these sprites symbolize a sort of changing of tides for me.
More sprites, new & old, to follow soon!

Definitely Paper Mario's Forever Forest/Boo's Mansion. I always loved this version of Boo's living outside of Bowser's rule. Gusty Gulch, while not as spooky, is also a nice touch to the theming of this chapter.

Continuing on my "Pokemon & Me" journey, here is my second Johto PokePal, and also my trainer's Ace: Tycko the Togekiss!
Togekiss has been my favorite Pokemon for many years - especially so after receiving the Fairy-typing! I actually got a tattoo of her a few years back. 😊

HeartGold is one of my favorite games, and as such I created a mini-series: "My Pokemon & Me", featuring a snapshot of me with each of my featured Pokemon's evolutions.
We begin this series with my starter, Cinder the Typhlosion!

I'll start my sprite posts with something recent-ish and small: Doom Wing Shadow! I'd like to experiment with making a full Doom Wing set at some point, the design feels fun and chaotic to work with.

For those who happen to find me, I'm a pixel artist who usually focuses on Pokémon or Mario & Luigi sprites. I've been spriting for nearly 20 years now and hope to be more active on here. 😁
