I realized I forgot about the snow outside :(
I'll add it in the edited version, I spent way too long on this one. Speaking of edited versions, I will have to start editing and posting the saga on socials. Before that, a recap would probably be needed at this point.

I am still working on the weekly comic, I was on a long flight, and this was what I managed to draw during it. The comic should be out in a day or two, I am pretty tired and my classes are starting again, so I apologize for the wait.
Edit: Sorry for the double post. I think it would probably be better to have both the timelapse and wallpaper attachments together when the timelapse is available, so I deleted the original wallpaper post.

Tier IV wallpaper request from patron Heiby!
This is a hilarious request, you can't deny it. I wanted to do a crying Chopper meme for a while but never thought it would be Garchomp lol. This may appear in the corner saga who knows.
I am playing with a lot more tools now like the background gradient and blizzard effect, so hopefully they help me make better wallpapers.

Posted a little later than usual, I apologize. Was visiting family for the day.
I am not sure if I want Giratina to be completely silent in the conversation. Might be his way of grieving. I could show more emotion in the final version. Or, somehow Giratina knew this would happen, and is silent because he knows he could have warned them or something.
Tyranitar also seems pretty unsympathetic, would probably change that as well. Like a "I'm sorry for your loss" kinda moment between ...

Tier IV wallpaper request from patron SlimyDan!
I wanted to try different styles so this took super long. I became pretty whiny a couple of hours in, but I decided to look at it as practice. It is pretty zoomed in so I could not make a mobile version, I apologize if anyone wanted one. Hope you like it!

I will remake these panels in a manga style when posting, but I gotta figure out how to do it in a horizontal way (the swiping to the next panel in Instagram). And then posting the whole thing to Twitter (X, I mean)? I don't know, really.
I have too many things I want to learn, character design, backgrounds, manga panel things. I still have a long way to go.

As some of you may have heard, I have been thinking of shifting from solely Pokémon comics to more illustrations in the future (once we finish the corner saga, which might take a couple of months). This will change almost all current rewards, so I will have to shift the way this Patreon page works in the future. I could post timelapses of my illustrations and maybe even tutorials.
Basically, I am thinking of making this Patreon page into more of a passive income thing for me, where I c...

Another Mega Blaziken was commissioned, so here is another wallpaper! Went for a more dynamic kicking pose.
I recorded a timelapse for this drawing and will post it shortly! The way I draw digitally is pretty unconventional (I will explain more in that post), but some of you have been asking for timelapses, so I will probably record more drawings in the future.

Characters from Destiny 2. I do not expect anyone to know them but basically Oryx is the king god of an alien race that literally survives off conquest and killing, fighting Akka, an ancient worm god of darkness. Fun.
I think my style struggles most with "realistic" or live-action-looking characters. I could probably recolor this to look better in the future. Pokémon wallpaper next! I hope.

I feel like there can be more events between the initial starting point and final destinations of the heroes, but I cannot think of any so we will just "time-skip" to the main destinations. I also want to edit a more classic comic book panel look (with pop-up illustrations and stuff) when actually posting the final product on socials.
Now we are focusing on the Tyranitar/Uxie/Giratina side of things. Both Palkia and Dialga are on the brink of unalive so the plans will shift slightly.

I am gonna start drawing more wallpapers now. Yay.
No seriously, I am pretty burnt out on comics so I will probably have more focus on illustrations for some time. Don't worry, weekly ones are still there, and comics for the requested corner Pokémon will continue. Just at a slower pace. :]

The journey begins! I just recovered from a pretty bad cold (maybe not fully but a lot better now) so I decided it would be better to leave the coloring for another day and take a break instead.
How can we have a story with Eternatus and not the sword and shield doggos? The sword doggo at least. I think Zamazenta should be one of the dusted, giving Zacian an incentive to help the heroes find Eternatus.

Okay, seems like the adventure will begin in the next comic. Feels a little long for five 8-panel comics to set it up so let me know if I can cut any part out. Most of it seems important to me in regards of backstory and also their current plans, so I do not really know lol.
I have thought of funny quips and jokes to include in the future, and maybe we could skip around the story to draw the parts I already figured out. It might be very confusing to you guys but maybe not if I explain i...

Our first Tier IV wallpaper request by SlimyDan!
I don't have a lot of experience drawing vehicles but this was a lot of fun. I am a sucker for neon colors (*gasp*) so it was pretty dang satisfying to slap on the glow effect at the end.
I did both the blue and orange versions since it was not too hard to swap an entire layer of color in Clip Studio Paint. Hope you like them!

It has been a long time since the last wallpaper, for that I apologize. I really liked the campfire vibe of that one recent comic so this is a higher quality version as a wallpaper. I could do more "snapshots" of the story if the scene feels right, we will see.
I kinda ignored the background, I was going back and forth on tree outlines and stuff, but it did not really work out. I might go back and do it one day (I keep saying that but I never do lol) but I guess this result does not loo...

So I am splitting the gang into two teams, as I think it is way too messy having so many characters doing so much at once. I have some plans for Tyranitar and Dragonite, mega-evolving and dynamaxing them respectively.
Dynamaxing Dragonite would definitely have something to do with Eternatus, so he would join the group looking for Eternatus. Mega-evolving Tyranitar might be a bit more complicated, since it is linked to Xerneas and Yveltal. Maybe something related to time-travel, since th...

I apologize for the lack of wallpapers recently. I am almost done with the team commissions I opened a month ago so I will be able to make more wallpapers soon. I have a couple in mind already.
Probably will start the infinity Pokémon adventure by the following comic, excited for that because I have not planned much and it could go anywhere.

More panels full of dialogue lol. I think that may be one of the things I need to improve in these longer comics: show more instead of saying more. But people might not understand what I am trying to show so I will have to find a proper balance between the two.
The last comic's full-color version is up on the same post. I changed some dialogue so the flow is not too awkward. There is the luxury of adding/editing images on Patreon so that is always good if I have to make minor changes li...

We are starting the next chapter since most of you voted for it!
I think we can do it this way, just the black and white draft first, then if anyone thinks there can be any improvements, I can make changes before coloring and other stuff. Then I will post the colored version in the next week (or add it to this post).
If you are wondering why I do not just post the sketches first, it is because I, uh, don't do sketches. I just freehand the outlines because I am lazy lol.

Vampires are undead creatures that consume the blood of the living to survive. With blood, they are essentially immortal if not killed. They are believed to be killed by sunlight, a wooden stake through the heart, fire, and decapitation. They are also repelled by crucifixes, holy water, and garlic for some reason. Apparently, garlic served as an antibiotic in the blood, which kills vampires.
But not this vampire. This vampire said, "It's morbin time" and morbed the garlic bread...

As the current chapter of the Wailmos vs. missingpip saga has come to a close, I am considering changing the "weekly comic" benefit.
Instead of doing the random mythology comics each week, I am thinking we can slowly progress the next chapter with 6 panels each week. You guys can have early access to the story progression AND let me know if the storyline or visuals are unclear to you. That way we can produce a good quality s...

Hey everyone! Hope you are enjoying the Wailmos vs. missingpip saga (it's a mess I know). Half of the current corner has been dusted, and I am letting you guys swap Pokémon! You do not have to, but if you want to, let me know in the comments as usual.
Comment what Pokémon you would like next, and your existing one will be dusted. Pretty dark, I know. I had some previous requests from some, but if you decide not to, just let me know, and we can change that.

Cerberus is the multi-headed doggo of the underworld, guarding the gates of the underworld so that the dead will not leave. In modern times Cerberus is depicted with three heads, although in ancient Greek art, he would be depicted with two heads and snakes protruding out of his body.
He is the son of the serpentine giant Typhon and half-woman half-snake Echidna, who also had other monstrous offspring such as the Hydra and Chimera. Cerberus is later kept as Hades' guard dog.

Kinda overdue, but you guys know me, I am always late to the party.
Rocket has been my favorite MCU character since the first GOTG, so happy that the third movie was basically his movie. Made them based on the first GOTG versions of the two because Rocket's orange outfit is the most iconic one to me. Also, RIP OG Groot. :(
I also made Rocket's laser cannon humongous for fun lol. Might tick off some gun experts since I kept the arm rest (in my defense, it looks cool).

Ah, the classic Cyclops story.
Greek (hero?) Oedipus and his men were sailing home from war when they landed on an island where the Cyclops Polyphemus lived. They had no idea that this one-eyed giant lived there, and were soon captured by him. The Cyclops brought them to his cave where he also kept his sheep at night, and blocked the entrance with a heavy boulder that only he could move. He ate some of Oedipus' men each day, then rolled the boulder away to let his sheep out to graze. Bu...

The fighting-type mega duo!
If you ever wondered why my art/business email is called "team aura flare," it is mostly thanks to these two. I had a Mystery Dungeon run with Torchic and Riolu, and the team was called "Team Aura Flare!" Or just "Aura Flare."
I don't remember. It's been a couple of years.

Byakko, the white tiger yokai!
In Chinese mythology, he is called the Baihu or White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. He represents several things, the direction West, autumn, dusk, and the element of metal. As the comic already said, a regular tiger turns into the White Tiger after living for 500 years, and he is the Guardian of the West.
The White Tiger was later adapted into Japanese folklore and called Byakko (which is just "white tiger" in Japanes...

Another three members of the Zodiac Council: the faun druid, Willow, the wind tiger of the West, Byakko, and the fire-breathing rooster, Basan!
I made Willow's clothing resemble an ancient Roman dress since fauns originate in Greek/Roman mythology. She is also a druid, so I gave her a (magical?) curly staff.
Byakko and Basan are both from Japanese mythology. Byakko is the white tiger associated with metal and wind and is also the guardian of the West. I made its lower b...
