Whoever came up with spiky ear pichu was very very right about it. #Pokemon

From flashy flotsam to luminous lure fish! Chinchou and Lantern make for an excellent teammate with their dual electric/water moveset! #pokemon

Crobats may look angry but they evolve from friendship so really they are just super upset at the government for the sake of their cool friends. May Crobats descend on all your enemies, cool friends. #pokemon

Fat duna #MHart

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

OOPS I POSTED THE BUGS OUT OF ORDER. I happen to love ledyba and ledian despite their stats and I took one named Paprika to the e4 in an alolan nuzlocke! We won, but they fell to Sycamore and his Snorlax in the end.

Some say it must be hard to make faces with pincers, but spinarak and ariados don't find it hard at all! #Pokemon

Hoothoot and Noctowl keep close watch over their forests! #pokemon

So, we broke into your house and stole all your stuff, please give us money.

May your Sentrets be soft and your Furrets long! #pokemon

In the sleepy waters of Johto's thick overgrown rivers you can spy the bright blue and red scales of this ferocious trio, not looking to camouflage one bit. #pokemon

My personal favorite starters from Johto. I simply love quilava and his fire-ferret goodness. #Pokemon

HEY! You know what ELSE I totally did and never posted??? POKETOBER! Cause some habits die hard despite being too tired for socials all month. Plus I needed procreate practice so two pidgeys one masterball or whatever the saying is. Kicking off Johto with Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium!

AND AT LAST: the final artfight of the year- with only 58 minutes on the clock at start, and barely 4 minutes left by the time I got it uploaded-- A revenge and big thank you to @/pizza-hats-of-the-world-1882 on tumblr of their magical space heroine Yevgenia! WOO!

#Artfight attack for @/HappyYappy on artfight of their kitty raptor Willo! Inspired by one of their pet cats, I was deeply charmed by their cute proportions!

Another #Artfight revenge on @/taiga_frosthall on insta of one more of their wily pirate crew! Riverstone is a tortle who joined up with the pirates of the Siren's Ire to travel, but it turns out that she has a knack for knocking skulls when would-be attackers find their way into her galley!

#Artfight attack for @theangryduckie.bsky.social ! Their skeletal aarakocra flamingo isn't letting a little thing like death stop them from becoming the most famous and wise pirate across all the seas!

Revenge on @/NakaBaka09 on insta and Cara! Their revolution leader, codename: Orange, has brilliant and iconic style which is just as on point as her metal-kinesis abilities are. #artfight

#Artfight attack on @xanthouransong.bsky.social on bluesky! Ardit is a spidertaur based on an orb weaver! They may look a little frightening but they are actually a big sweet nerd who likes dnd just like the best of us ;)

#Artfight attack for @/pyromanticism on tumblr of their little demon, Daemon! Careful-- she bites <_<

#Artfight attack for @/attikuattiku on tumblr of their tragic angel Jinyue. With a troubled past and difficult present, I hope he takes some small solace in a moonlit flight over his fields.

#Artfight attack on @nullofstars.bsky.social of their racing mech Jackie! Inbound to your location. Walls will not stop her. They won't even slow her down.

#silksong #monsterhunter

#Artfight attack for @/sacaaachiz in tumblr of their little finned alien kitty Orka! Fond of exploring the water, this friendly cat makes for the best beach companion!

#Artfight attack for @/ceci_art_studio on insta! Peeps is a little sparrow ranger, equipped with their trusty bow and jingle bell helmet, and ready to protect the forest from any trouble!

Attack for @/cloudycrows on toyhouse! Their angel and demon duo Oriel and Denell fall right into fated love with another! #artfight

#Artfight attack on @/_thebluefish_ on insta! Howl is a sleek fish with flare, fur, and fangs! I liked his color palette a lot!

Artfight attack on @roocharffer.bsky.social of their changeling (and sometimes vampire) ambassador Telen Elarius! Being a changeling means fangs are optional, but Telen likes to wear them to match their boyfriend :3 (after all who wouldn't?)

Artfight attack on @polywyrm.bsky.social of their littlest lindwyrm Lei! So many good dragons this year, but when I saw Lei it was ON SIGHT. I 🤍love🤍 them and I still look at the art you made of Don Vallus and giggle and kick my feet everytime I do.

#Artfight attack for @/2k1xuann on artfight of their monster-pony rancher Reed! Halflings like her have got to be tough to take care of sturdy enough mounts for adventuring parties!

#Artfight revenge for @helenbirb.bsky.social of their little birdie shapeshifter Bermie! They may have many forms, but the little red crown is always on!

#Artfight attack for @/anomaliaff on tumblr of their desert demigod Nagore! Hailing from the Open Character League of Entervoid, Nagore has several draconic transformations that she can swap between for convenience, including the big tail to help her fly pictured here!

#Artfight revenge for @cardinalfsr.bsky.social on bluesky!

Attack for @/Arrowerrorx on tiktok and #artfight! Their #Wingsoffire dragon Arrow enjoys a nice light rain to collect their thoughts in.

Revenge on @/Baggysweaterrat on #artfight! Mika is a cute and energetic dragon who communicates with signing and tail flicks!

Artfight attack on @/speepingmouse on DeviantART! Stardust is a cute little creature, spreading light in the dark!

#Artfight revenge for @/toothpaste-dragon on tumblr of their parasitic host Auvellius (and the currently in control Kresh!) (Believe it or not the parasite is the responsible one!)

A late post for #artfight but one of my absolute favorites of the year! I love the merry monastery menagerie of @ascalaphid.com ! Featuring Brother Gregor the gator, Brother Mo the wooly bear caterpillar, and Brother Shrewblin the shrew all returning after a morning's fishing trip!

OK!! TIME FOR THE REST OF ARTFIGHT POSTING. FOR REAL THIS TIME. I MEAN IT. (I 100% finished Silksong and my life can stumble back into any kind of responsible routine again)

Weird pumpkin kittens for #Halloween #Pokemon #Pumpkaboo

On this Halloween night I stayed up past midnight working on art. During this time, our kitten, used to us being in bed at 10 or 11, wedged himself next to me in the armchair while I worked, upsidedown and purring. My partner, a very early-to-bed kind of guy, fell asleep on our nearby couch...

Never forget the core thing funding the sheer scale of the spending spree of AI investments is primarily due to the turborich wanting to solve the “problem” of having to pay wages.

“So you’re saying we should bully companies that use AI?” “Yes absolutely.”

We could also frame it like this: "Refusing to regulate AI will 'kill' the arts industry."

"My reps are all conservative and do what they want anyway so I can't call about KOSA" This bill has died multiple times before and it's because people told their reps they don't like it, especially the red ones

#Artfight attack on @kelcasual.bsky.social of their lizardfolk rogue Chalk Tiaquamotanrolth! He's making a fast grab in this dungeon!

#Artfight attack on @/_chesha_o on insta! Their collection of flower and tree based Sphinx characters are wonderful and I was so excited to draw Dandelion!

An #Artfight attack for @/jding0 on tumblr of Lewis the little blue weasel sleuth! Armed with a trusty raincoat and school bag, he won't let his little stature stop him from uncovering the mysterious truth!

#Artfight revenge for @peckuliarcorvid.bsky.social! Magpie is a little kobold with big dragon dreams and a dragon-wing scarf to match! They have a hundred pockets for collecting shinies to start their own hoard. (And i love them and hope they get a campaign soon!)
