For those of you who are curious about the project I created/have been working on a lot with the members of oekaki.bulbagarden.net/

<sub>so with my computer still broken, i'm really bummed about not being able to use my tablet or paintsai, which means taking a break from the mango dex.

BUT my art classes are going really well! (i'm taking human anatomy and storyboarding)  human anatomy is so difficult, but my professor is very helpful and patient!  i'm excited to learn about figure drawing and get better at drawing people!  also, in the fall, i think i'm going to take a digital painting class, because i'd like to be able to do speed paints and backgrounds.

so i'm going to continue taking time off from fakemon design and digital art altogether, while i make headway on the basics!  i see it as my dragonball z training arc, disappearing to sharpen my skills before the next fighting tournament! lol

i'll try to get on deviantart as much as i can to cheer on my fellow fakemon artists, but until then, keep working hard y'all!  you're all so cool and talented, it'd be a crime to hide your light (ew, cheesy! X0 lol)

happy summer! <3 <3 <3 <3

so i was thinking i'd really like to see someone create a super-cute japanese 3ds game about mailmen.  it would be a simple rpg with puzzle elements - basically you play as a mailman in charge of delivering letters around the world.  you might start out as a "one star" mailman that just delivers local letters, but eventually be able to go up in status and deliver letters to exotic and far away places.  to get to the location, you'd play different mini games based on the mode of transportation (plane, car, rocket ship, submarine, on a bike, etc).  you could also rack up money based on how well you completed a mission, as well as have "days off" where you could travel to a place and collect postcards and souvenirs.

the art style of the game could look like it was drawn on paper, kind of like the way "yoshi story" utilized different types of paper and craft materials.  the game could also have a sweet side, since the letters and objects you deliver could have a sentimental significance for the npc you're delivering to.

the game would also have also have an online element, where you could send your real life friends digital postcards from hard to reach locations in the game as a way to brag about your accomplishments.  you could also unlock new locations and missions via online content.

overall, there's something really cool and old fashioned about delivering mail, and i'm surprised there's very little out there in the way of stories (video games, comics, etc) about it.

_{also, the japanese in my drawings might be completely wrong. lol  i used google translate.  i just like the look of it.}

so a couple random pieces of news...

★ i got to 400 watchers!  thanks to everyone for watching, faving, commenting, and the llama love! :3
★ i'll be taking a break for a couple of days while i do some serious designing...
★ when i come back, i'll be posting some designs of my legendary mascots and a couple of other fun things!
★ aaaaand i'm gonna be opening fakemon commissions up next week, so get your points together if you're interested!
★ i'll also be putting a lot of unused fakemon up for auction!

see y'all then!

peace and <3.

...IS SO SO SO GOOD!  

I wish Ken Sugimori would go through every single Pokemon and draw them in his old style.  it's all watercolory and cute and simple and oh man i'm getting all nostalgic now.  i seriously might start doing my fakemon in that style it's frickin brilliant!

_{okay too much wine baiiiiiii love you guys!}
