POKEMON TRAINERS

OMGOMGOMG WHAT IS THIS?

THE TEAM WORLD ADVENTURE GIRLS AS TRAINERS?!

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

Ok, explanation: I was browsing deviantART when some very cute Pokémon gijinkas popped up in a "More Like This" list and I was suddenly inspired to draw my characters as Pokémon trainers. Which led to me looking up Pokémon types. Which led to me getting interested. Which led to this.
Now that I know all the Pokémon now, I created a little list to show what Pokémon my characters would have.
About the designs: Ryn was made up mostly on the spot, but as I got to know Pokémon the slightest bit better I changed it up a bit.
Fern was supposed to look awesome because she's supposed to be a really strong trainer (I added a headcanon that Fern acts all tough but is utter sugar to all her Pokémon).
Milkshake's outfit is actually just an alteration of her Sonic Riders design, just with a different jacket, a different hat, stockings and no goggles. I actually wanted her to be a little scarier as a trainer, because she's unusually powerful for a kid and she tends to look like she's ready to go Higurashi-style when she loses a battle (but doesn't do anything in the long run because she's...Milkshake). I also added that she snaps her fingers like Discord.
Buttermilk had to look soft and sweet because she's much gentler than Milkshake and isn't as strong with her Pokémon. She really tries, though.
Plus, I had an urge to draw lots of scarves, haha.

Ryn would have a Cherubi, a Seel, a Mienfoo, a a Espurr, a Frillish and a Scatterbug.
Fern would have a Meloetta, a Leafeon, a Pansage, a Petitil, a Snover and a Ralts.
Milkshake would have a Swirlix, a Vanillite, a Spinda, a Slyveon, a Mesprit and a Misdreavus.
Buttermilk would have a Whismur, a Minccino, a Froslass, a Chimecho and a Phione.

Anyway, here are the designs!

Art of the Day

Yello! I'm back!
 
I'm rapidly switching fandoms at the moment, because I had a bit of Keroro love (Shurara Corps yay) and then switched in-between My Little Pony and Sonic. I was thinking about some color art, though, and drew up a piece of my character Fern as she grows up in the story. Unlike the previous piece I did for Fern's birthday, this is as she ages in my story, not her character designs.
 
First on the left: 26 years
Second to the left: 18 years
Second to the right: Current, 15-16 years
Last on the right: 11 years

Music of the Week

Hello! Welp, I'm back on schedule today! Yay!
Sorry for the long absences, I had two other blogs to attend to and many other things so...yeah.
This week's song is "The Skeleton Orchestra and Lilia" by Tohma feat. Hatsune Miku. I picked this one because of my obsession with FluttershyXDiscord this week. And the video plus the rather scatterbrained lyrics seriously made me think of Discord so here it is!
I'm gonna work on the Fluttercord picture for this song this week since I have Discord's design all ready to go! Whee!

Art of the Day

Today's art is just finished, and is my artwork for the dubstep song "Deception" featuring Megurine Luka.
I'd say this piece is set in the Senbonzakura arc of my Team World Adventure series, where Kuro's return ends up driving Fern mad and goes on a brief tangent.

Writing blog announcement

I'm going to put all my stories and fanfics on a separate blog, which will be called "Mocha-san's Desktop". It'll be created shortly and will be put on a link list along with my webcomic archive. ^_^

ARRGH

I'M SORRY I'VE BEEN SO DORMANT LATELY

I've been caught up in the ropes of summer and could barely think. There were doujins I was planning out and the MLP's Discord took over my mindspace and then I had to make a gijinka for him so I hardly got a chance to post.




As an apology, I have a new color art picture similar to "Colors", but with MLP characters.
I plan to give the background ponies and the villains pictures like this.

SORRY EVERYBODY

I'm sorry, I've been delayed all week because I was making new November strips to kickstart the comic.
 
So! Art. Today's art shall be my improved version of Strobo Nights, which I have wanted to do for a while. Here it is!
As for music this week, I shall post the beautiful "Dear My Friend" by Brent Cash. I freaking underestimated this song in levels of feels and it seriously made me sob when I heard in Sonic Unleashed. Chip was the most adorable little dork and I sincerely miss him. Thank you, Archie, for bringing him back for the comics, though! (But I'm still mad that you keep teasing me with Werehog hints.)

Comic Update!!

November York has two completed strips! YAY! And 50 blog pageviews in the first day! DOUBLE YAY!
So, that being said, Tsugihagi Tantei is officially a running webcomic.
The comic will update really frequently for the first week it's been created, but once Friday comes I'll stop production for a sec and get on a weekly update schedule. So, after July 10, November York will be updated EVERY FRIDAY. 
Okay, so that's it! You can check out the archive here: http://november-york-tsugihagi-tantei.blogspot.com

UPDATE

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

I am starting a 4-koma project called the "November York 4-koma Project" (I know, uncreative title.). The point is, the 4-koma will start as soon as I start sketching and I plan that it will start next Friday. (I have a week!)
I'll have to work on the November York first story some more, so at least you guys have something to look at while I'm drawing.
I WILL TRY!

Anyways, to read the comic, I'll set up a secondary blog so you can read it once it officially begins. It'll start as manga pages, though. I'll be busy this week. -_-'

OK? OK! I'll see you guys later for the featured artwork!

I have returned!

Hey, everyone! I'm back in the study! Texas was great, by the way. But it's REALLY HOT. Honestly.
Now, then? I guess I owe some art and music for the blog, right? Cool.
 
OK, for the Art Post for today, I'll put up "Corona -wobble magic library mix-". It's a FANTASTIC mix by the wonderful Kamomesano on SoundCloud!
Here is the art:
And here is the song:

For the Music of the Week, I'll nominate the lovely song "Kisaragi Attention" by Jin/Shizen no Teki-P. I love the Kagerou series and I am an active shipper of HibiMomo. HATERS GONNA HATE.

 

OK, well, I'll see you guys tomorrow! I'm tired.
