Cashew's turn on the V-Wheel

Hey everybody, more releases! Here we have a another Patreon piece and installment in the art styyle challenge. This one was intended to mirror the Mystery Dungeon style, specifically the more cartoonish water color style art. Think it turned out pretty nice. Here we have Cashew miss using the V-wheel XD Probably going to be getting in big trouble for that but for now, he's having fun XD Hope you guys enjoy and more work to come!

Mew Defeated

More releases! Another installment in the defeated series, this one depicting Mew! Was pretty fun work work on both sides of this, showing off the powers, lighting etc and been wanting to try out the particular pose with Mew for a while. Here we have a concept I've been playing around with, this tie on Mew, this has appeared a couple times, usually on Espeon, so wanted to try it out on Mew and see how that turned out and well, here's the results! Think it makes for a cute little bundle XD Hop...

Walking the Dragon Trail

Hey everybody, here is the second one of the pair of pieces for Merlilin. This one depicting him, this dragon character and presumably another fellow on for the ride. Who or what is that? I'll let you guys figure that out, sure you'll come up with some fun scenarios XD Anyway, this piece I tried to give it a fairytale sort of vibe, lots of bright colors, Old tolkein style background, etc and I think it looks very nic elike this. Unlike last time, with it having a contrasting color pallet, thi...

The Serval and the Wizard

Kicking off releases, we have one of two pieces for Merlilen depicting him dealing with a couple of his... friends? I'll leave that up to interepretation XD The first one here is the first one finished, depicting this swamp scene with this kitty cat trying to make a run for it and well, hard to escape a wizard XD Think the swamp scene turned out quite nice, made some new brushes for this setting, so great to get to try those out! Also got to do some contrast stuff with the yellow on dark and ...

Bagged Dragons

More releases everybody! This was a commission to depict these two characters encased in these rubber things. These appeared in an episode in the anime and were used on a Tyranitar, not by Team Rocket surprisingly. Though there's lots of weird little capture devices from that show that could make appearances around here. Guess we'll see but for now, here are these two. Think theyt urned out pretty nice, got to try out a new texture brush I've been working on, pretty happy with the results. Ho...

Finaly Got him Remake

Hey everybody, more releases! So here we have a remake of a piece I did a long while ago with Pikachu being captured and brought to Team Rocket. Wanted this to be released alongside the animation, which is being made with the same theme. As for the piece itself, think it turned out pretty nice, tried to get the location to resemble the games version of it without showing anything specific from the game. Think it works pretty well. Went for a traditional front hogtie, don't see tha ton Pikachu...

(Style Challenge) Taking Espeon for a Walk

Another piece in the Art challenge everybody! Here we have my take on Ken Sugimori style. Most of you are probably familiar with him, even if you don't know the name. He is the main artist that does the official artwork for Pokemon, doing all of the original 151, designing numerous Pokemon, a great deal of the card artwork and still works for them. Technically he has two art styles he does for Pokemon, his original one and his modern one. For this piece, I decided to go attempt the original o...

Chibi Tovu Captured

More releases, here we have a commissioned piece from Fluffybirdcay, this one depicting the Chibi style again but with a different one of my caharacters, in this case Tovu! Tried out some different background work for this one, think I like this a bit more than the first but I'll see what you guys think. Otherwise the technique is the same, Mountain Lions are bigger than foxes, so tried to a slightly different way to get the look across and am pretty happy with it. Hope you guys like it and m...

Trophy Mew (Manga style)

More releases and continuing on the art style challenge, we have another take on one of the Pokemon art styles, this one being the Manga and also gives an example of a remake in a different style as well for those curious what that might look like. here we have Mew here in it's trophy pod set up it was put in before. This piece is meant to mirror a similar panel with Mewtwo from the Manga but with Mew instead. Otherwise main elements to it are the heavy ink approach and stipple shading you wo...

Aerium in the Swamp

Happy Halloween everybody! Here is a special piece I worked on for Aerium specifically for Halloween. Here we have our dragon friend wondering around a swamp and well, doesn't go too well. Hope you guys like it! Don't work with living vines and such very much, so great opportunity to do that. Lots of cold color pallet stuff on display here, actually in that regard the collar is probably the most interesting thing, given it's the only thing that isn't, so pops real well. Hope you guys like it ...

The Fox and The Rabbit (Chibi style)

Another example of the Art style thing I am going to be doing in November, here we have my attempt at a chibi style. This is definitely a new take for me, given I usually go for semi realistic and this is all about having unique proportions mainly and cartoony anime esc expressions. Here we have Russel and the little White rabbit, haven't seen him in a  while. Not that our fox friend is too happy about that XD This isn't based on anything like the last one was, just an attempt at the sty...

Witch Hunt (PKMN Anime Style)

Happy Novemeber and kicking off releases for this month is this month's challenge, This piece is the first of several coming featuring a different art style than my usual one. Want to do several pieces like that in November, might be from a piece of media, might be a specific artist, might be a art style in general, etc. Here's an example of what this may look like. Here we have Braixen here in the Pokemon anime art style. This is the sort of thing I'm interested in trying and was curious if ...

Humiliating a Gryphon

Hey everybody, got another release, here we have a piece from TheFluffyBirdcat depicting his Gryphon character Grimmerald in a less than dignified position XD Very cute little mini comic. This was supposed to come out alongside the other one but slipped through the cracks, so sorry about that. Very happy how it turned out though. Hope you guys like it

Staring at Defeat: Espeon

Hey everybody, so here is the second piece in the same series I mentioned with the Umbreon one. That being it's Johto brother Espeon. Like with all the others in this series I wanted to do something unique rather than just a pallet swap of the same thing, so for Espeon I did two things, one was include whomever was restraining them, figured these two would work well for that XD The second being a unique type of tie, I did this same tie on Espeon before, sort of a pseudo hogtie you could say w...

Staring at Defeat: Umbreon

More releases! This time we have one of two in a set. The other one will be released tomorrow but for right now, here is this one! This is another installment in the staring at defeat concept, don't do it a whole lot but fun little concept nonetheless. Try to keep them all different, so here we have Umbreon being dragged off somewhere, similar to what happened in the Ring Target comic though reimagined XD Don't usually do variants but I couldn't decide whether I liked the shiny version or the...

Pair of Pikas

Kicking off releases! We have this interesting little piece from Kalos Weed depicting Mimikyu on it's way to complete the disguise act XD Very interesting piece to work on, wanted to play heavily with color work on this, mainly symbolism regarding color theory. For those unfamiliar, typically purple, green and blue are cold colors and used to represent things as such, whereas Yellow is used to represent all sorts of things but one of the major ones is caution. So thought those elements here w...

Pokemon Battle

Hey everybody, another Commission piece, this one depicting Hyper's Espeon here in the middle of battle that doesn't seem to be going so well XD Very cute little concept, not super familiar with the newer Pokemon, don't own a switch so haven't been able to play any of the games on it but still try to keep up with the series nonetheless. Here Dipplin is using it's signature move but I doubt it's supposed to end up like that XD Tried a new technique for producing slime and such and I think it l...

Securing the Queen

Hey everybody, more releases! Here we have a piece depicting this Dragon having been captured and strapped down, possibly in their lair, maybe just some random rock place, no idea. Apparently she's from the Dragon Prince, a series I've been told a lot of good things about but like a lot of stuff, never seen it. Need to watch more movies/shows =C Regardless though, here he is and more dragons. Seem to be a pretty popular subject for these situations and always enjoyable to work with. Hope you ...

Drakes on a Stroll

More releases! Here we have a commissioned piece this time, depicting these two Drake characters having been put to work, not exactly sure why but here they are! This piece focuses primarilly on straps, harnesses, stuff like that, which isn't something I do whole lot but it's always interesting to work with nonethless. Got to play around with the before mentioned texture brushes again, still very happy with how they've been performing and hope to work with them some more down the road. Hope y...

Dinosaur Trophies

Hey everybody, more releases, this time I have this one for TheFluffyBirdCat depicting Neera and Aladar from Disney's Dinosaur and Celadon too locked up in one of those trophy displays. Think this came together pretty well, this isn't the first piece I used the new texture brushes I've been making but it is the first to combine all the new stuff I've been working on in one piece. Very happy how they turned out, definitely something I'm going to want to play with more. We also get my signature...

Sprigatito Shibari

Hey everybody, more releases, this is also a Patron piece, not sure if you want to be credited or left anonymous so I'll leave it anonymous for now. Here we have one of the newest pokemon, the adoreable weed kitty Sprigatito Got some ideas for this cutie and Floragato too but for now here he is dangling in Shibari. Fairly simple piece, went for mostly red restraints both for contrast and also because they seem to use that in this most often for whatever reason. Hope you guys enjoy and more to...

Absol vs Sylveon

This is a Patreon commissioned piece from Darkabsol depicting his Absol here having been sent on the same task as Timmy and well... seems it's not gone much better XD Very cute little piece I'd say, don't depict Sylveon in dom situation to much as I like to work with the ribbons in sub situations more but it does work pretty well in that role too. So here is an example of that. Hope you guys enjoy and more stuff on the way!

Transporing Flareon Animation WIP 2

Hey everybody, another update on this project depicting this unfortunate bouncy boy XD Hope to do a lot of animation work in September, this being another project in the works. Like to see animation being a regular thing around here. Hope you guys like this one! Added some more segments and will be adding a little more to it as well. This project obviously focuses a lot on bouncing and swaying type movements, something I don't see much from other artists. If you'd like to watch it and other a...

Cashew VS Nickel WIP 2

Hey everybody, second WIP on this project, much further along than before, having nearly all of the Wire done (still a little bit left but mostly done). It is expected to be over a minute and this is easily the most ambitious single project I've ever done. Pretty much ever technique I've learned is featured here in one way or another and very happy how it's coming together. Hope you guys enjoy the progress and more to come!

Take Down: Glaceon

Hey everybody, wanted to get stuff out yesterday but came down with one my monthly migraines, so this piece was wrapped up today instead (as well as a few other things that will be sent out later tonight). For now, here is the results on this, the first of what I am calling Take Down, depicting usually Cashew in an action, more dynamic style shot than usual wrangling something. Here it's Glaceon, thought either Glaceon or Flareon would look best in this position and since I did Flareon more r...

Binding a Psychic remake

Hey everybody, more releases! Here we have a remaster of sorts, depicting this Espeon flopping around with the metal restraints. This is based on a much older piece I did a while back. Think it came together very nicely. Wanted to have Espeon here trying to use the psychic powers rather than having them hindered, think it came together pretty well. Hope you guys like it and more stuff to come!

Bagging Tovu

Hey everybody, as mentioned I'm back from the fair and wanted to get a piece out to you guys in adition to the updates, which will be coming out all throughout the week. This piece is a concept I've been wanting to do for a while, put Tovu there in a net! He's not to happy about it it seems XD Wanted to make this one a little different than the others, so had him hogtied in it and we also get to see a horse, not something I draw to often but think it turned out pretty good too. Hope you enjoy...

Walking Home (Collab)

Hey everybody, a new piece! Sorry for the pause in releases, been a crazy June for me (bad weather, power issues, computer trouble, etc) but here is a special project! A collab project with 9 characters on their way to wherever they're going, I'll let you guys decide on where =D For this piece I went for a fairy tale type setting, Lord of the Rings type theme, thought that look good and am very happy with the results on that. Wanted to experiment with lighting stuff, so went for working the c...

Ring Target (Animated)

Hey everybody! So continuing with releases. Here we have the first piece which is a simple animation to go with the new CYOA comic I am planning to put into effect. Originally this was apart of the anthology comic too but I liked the idea of a Choose your own adventure story and this one seemed to work the best for that, at least for now. Always enjoy viewer interaction and think this will be a great way to do that.. So went ahead and worked on it some. This little animation is the result of ...

Dragon Slayer

Hey everybody, continuing with releases and the anthology comic. So here is another concept, the Sylveon or Dragon Slayer one. Thought this came out pretty cute so wanted to go ahead and release it, will still be adding to the other ones too of course. Decided for this to play around with the Mystery Dungeon setting, played a couple of those games but not whole lot. Mainly liked this angle for it and wanted to roll with that. Think it came together very nicely, Sylveon's always fun to work wi...
