🚨 #PokemonTCG paper alert 🚨, and it cites my co-authored paper from last year! My first academic citation!! Among other things, the authors find that a staggering 60% of players drop out of tournaments. They go on to offer some innovative ways to improve player engagement and tournament structure.

Very random opportunity, but I’m gonna be staffing at the Vancouver Riftbound regional! Just general check-in and badge pickup likely, but super cool nonetheless!

Rhythm Thief stole my heart when I discovered it a few years ago! I’m revisiting it again and it’s still just as campy and charming as I remember ☺️

Went to the Tomodachi Life subreddit just out of curiosity and OH MY FUCKING GOD SOMEONE DID THIS WITH THE FACE PAINT FEATURE 😭

Found this in a Nintendo Power issue. Has anyone played this cursed ballon mini game before?!!!? I’ve literally NEVER seen it before and I thought I knew these games very well!!

I decorated my sketchbook!!! Yay!!!!😃 I also got food poisoning and threw up on my favourite Sonic shirt 😞

Happy Easter!! I drew Lopunny to celebrate! Lopunny is actually one of my favourite Pokemon!

love!!!! 🩵💞🔥🎀✨ #pokemon #illustration

Signed the lease for a new place! Moving in May and starting school the same month! Exciting stuff eheh

I’ve been going back more to my traditional roots, and decided to draw Urara with colored pencils! #umamusume

Artists, never forget that you are not a brand. You do not need to be consistent and marketable. If you CHOOSE to strive for these things that’s fine, but you do not NEED them. You are a fucking person, multi-faceted and complex. People who do not respect that see your art as a product

I thought about opening a private cause there’s something therapeutic about giving your words a place to be exhibited I know that place is not your front-facing internet profile. But like treating it like a consequence I can hold myself to. Kinda done edge posting tho, so back to routine after

Torchic looks like Hiyoko-chan! It was very important that I drew this connection before it left my brain and risk being late for work lol

I surrender. Typhlosion was cope. I’m sorry I was stubborn “Pls don’t be mad, I still love you honey 🥺” Idk. Evil Honchie does the same thing essentially. -no damage cap, takes less turns to set up your mons and STILL keeps a one prize board. Ya I’m soggy

lol

Nooooo stop raining!! You’re gonna knock all the cherry blossom petals off their branches! I hate it when the ground is all soggy and slimy afterwards. But it’s not all bad The rain might entice some more pansies to pop up! 🙂‍↕️

I went to Japan in February. It was nice to visit the Super Potato drawings again! There’s so much heart and unabashed enthusiasm in all of them. I really missed it My boss seemed down with me doing some for the game store I work at! If I get in trouble with corporate, it’s worth it~

To theTCG peeps: no more events for me this season. See you next year though ☺️ I have an Instagram now too. I use it very sparingly, but I’ll share art / daily stuff there. @auryneko_ Bsky will be for my rambles and keeping up with the wise people that only use this platform lol

More-so writing this for my own reassurance, but I’m going to be okay. I know you will be too. And that much is enough for me.

雪トゥは雪に遊びま〜す ☃️🌨️

Went ham at the Toronto Regional colouring table 😚

I saw this image and wanted to recreate it for fun. Chonky Pikachu will always be my fav 😂 I attempted to do this Ken Sugimori's style becuase it's so charming! #pokemon #fanart

Work lanyard Oh goodness.

Not super pleased with the colours, but I’m still figuring out these markers so it’s okay!! I’m playing Persona 2 for the first time, so I felt inclined to draw Lisa! Maybe I’ll recolour it digitally 🤔

I drew A.B.A from Guilty Gear!~

BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Festive stress melting your brain? Find some calm, with Kiryu Moods 🧘✨

Forgot to mention, but I did get into Seattle! ☺️

先日撮った写真にタイユニ描き足してみた 描いてる間に現実の気候はすっかり冬になってしまったな…🪾

Sylveons 🎀 #pokemon

I was there at 4 and refreshed for 20 minutes. What happened?? 🥺

I can’t sleep Stressed and existential But at least …I can whip out this classic 🥲

Speed running my artist career by drawing both a political comic and Vaporeon inflation in one go.

Checkpoint: Got a new full-time job! I’m a barista at a cute little cafe near my house! Still at EB games, just wanted some more hours cause money is kinda yummy~ 😋 Always wanted to be a barista. I’m glad I’ll have a chance to work as one before I get tied down being a spreadsheet monkey lol.
