I WAS WORKING ON THIS PIC OF HYDRIDE
AND THEN
HE STARTS WINKING AT ME

WHAT THE…

apparently I sent the application for the Mewtwo fanlisting not only to The Fanlistings but also to The Anime Fanlistings.
because I just got the approval to make the fanlisting to the anime version of the character.

let me spell it out: I’ve been waiting for this moment since 2006
AND I DIDN’T EVEN REMEMBER I APPLIED FOR IT

WTF, SELF.

The point is that, since I thought I had already been rejected, I also applied for Sableye and got approved for it. Now, you must know that I like to make shrines which also incorporate a fanlisting so that the ones looking for the shrine will also have the chance to join the fanlisting and the ones looking for the fanlisting will find much more content than expected. So, my idea was (and still is) to make a Sableye shrine as my submission to the Pokéthon.

As for Mewtwo, in the past I said that there was no need for me to make another Mewtwo shrine since I couldn’t add anything worthy to what other people wrote, and I still think it’s true. However, this works in the case of a text-based tribute. All I need to do is changing perspective. So, I’m going to make an illustrated tribute to the character of Mewtwo. Think of the possibilities. It will be a big project, but I think I can pull it off. Long story short, if I manage to finish both websites in a month and half I can submit not one, but two shrines to the Pokéthon. 8D Let’s see what I can do.

Lately I’ve been doodling a lot with friends on IM and discovered that drawing with the mouse is fun. So, have some stupid fan art. Irene, I’m blaming you for these.

HERE WE GO

So, yesterday I decided that I had spent way too much time sitting behind a laptop, yet I was lacking a good reason to get out of the house. Other than training my Pokémon, but just walking around with nowhere to go is even more boring than sitting on my ass. Then I remembered about my sister’s old bike which she doesn’t use anymore since my parents bought her a bigger one. Good. So I went to check on it and wash it and this sort of things. I tried it, and it looked in pretty good shape.

Things took an unexpected turn when I was riding down a slope at considerable speed and heard a weird metallic noise from the rear wheel. I braked to check on that; what I couldn’t know was that the problem was exactly the rear brake. It doesn’t take a fervid imagination to imagine what happened next. The second after braking, I was flung into the air for a few meters and then into the ground. After that, I realized my glasses were sent flying off my face as well and were now lying broken a meter away from me. Then I noticed I couldn’t move my right arm. My first reaction was to go wtf at what just happened because seriously, I get on a bike for no more than five minutes and I end up breaking my glasses and an arm? Then I noticed that the arm didn’t hurt a lot and that I could more or less move it, albeit the elbow felt weirdly loose compared to the other one. I guess it was just a momentary shock thing.

A passerby helped me get back up and seeing my backwards arm suggested to bring me to the hospital. Haha, if I can still turn it like that it definitely means it’s fine. I retrieved what was left of my glasses, brought that stupid bike back and waited for my parents to get back to see what could be done with those glasses. In the meanwhile, I experienced the world of Very Bad Myopia and almost disinfected my wounds with pure alcool because I couldn’t tell the bottles apart. Lucky me they have a different smell.

When my mom got back she brought me to see what could be done for the glasses. The optician was very nice, he kept his shop open past after the closing time only to fix my glasses :D in the end I got a new pair which also looks nicer than the one I had before and won’t break that easily. My arm doesn’t hurt anymore and my wounds are nothing terrible.

What I learned yesterday:

• I am more or less unbreakable.
• My glasses, however, are not.
• I am lucky that glasses have already been invented because without them I wouldn’t be able to see my own feet.
• There are some pretty nice people around.
• I could as well be riding a donkey.

I was talking with Cercatesori about all of my Pokémon playthroughs through the years

suddenly I remembered about a Yellow game from when I was like eleven or twelve in which the playing character was named Boreos, after an original character I had in a story

Boreos was this pale-skinned, tall, blond guy with blue eyes
which had a friend which was about as tall as him, with red hair

…

I CREATED VOLKNER AND FLINT WHEN I WAS TWELVE.

OH GOD

inappropriate candy packaging is very inappropriate and wrong on so many levels

I’ve spent these last few days at Jacopo’s for his birthday. We had an awesome time. Originally, this entry was about what kind of awesome time did we have, but then I noticed that I just can’t blog about my life. It makes me feel stupid. Long story short, we had an awesome time. 8)

Hey look I drew a me. It should be my Pokémon Trainer but really, it’s me. I blame Kate for that.

as ridiculous as it may seem, it’s actually a very accurate representation of my person. which also explains why I tend to draw people with weird anatomy when I have no one who can model for me: my whole body is double-jointed. and yes, I can actually do that with my tongue.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO EMBRACE MY FREAKINESS

Last night I had some weird dream. Basically, I was with Jacopo in a medieval city; after visiting a few places, we entered a tree. The inside of the tree was some sort of dark world completely secluded from the outside, which gave us an idea about how to use that to our advantage. You know what happens next. In the middle of it, something happened. When we got out, I realized that from midway to the end I’ve been doing it with Daevion. Then he kidnapped me. Random people tried to rescue me, but Daevion casted all sorts of spells on them and they went away. Jacopo was outside too, and he said that I had to choose between Daevion and him. I answered that he only exists in my imagination, so it was not like I was cheating on him. He said that’s ok, but since we were in my subconscious he was actually real there!
…I’m not sure what does this all mean D: though I was really waiting for Daevion to appear in a dream, I did not want for it to be like this D8 also I’m sort of disappointed that this was such a blurry dream and that I couldn’t get a good look at his face. I wish I could get lucid dreams at will.

Quote from Volkner in Pokémon Platinum:
“My relationship to Flint? There’s no love lost, that’s for sure.”

THUS MAKING THEIR PAIRING CANON. END OF THE STORY
I am as amazed as you, believe me

hey I’ve not been giving those two enough attention as of lately
I gotta fix that

Tonight I dreamt about a Platinum subquest involving Team Galactic looking for a rare gem and you as the main character had to unearth it before the commanders could. The gem was long, pink and hard. Then Flint came and rolled all the Galactic commanders and the ground they were standing on into a ball with his bare hands and took the gem. Volkner came too and asked him if he was sure he wanted to take that gem and Flint answered “yeah, as sure as the fact I fucked you today, so it’s 100% sure”

I don’t know what is my subconscious up to. What I do know now is the meaning of the term “brainfucking”.

YOU GUYS
HOW DO YOU DARE PASS ON VIDEOGAME MUSIC
I HATE YOU ALL, I’M GONNA CUT MYSELF NOW
hahahah no just kidding
you’re the only ones losing from this anyway >)

In any case, here goes the artwork post! I gave an exam today so I’ve got some free time tonight, let’s make the best out of it, but be wary: this is going to be wacky and weird, please fasten your belts, thank you.

TOLD YOU
I have no idea what this is about but I sort of like it

Here the idea was to draw Flint sitting on some doorsteps taking a cup of coffee from Volkner, and ended up studying how could I make it work. It should be able to stretch that way.

having at least one Samus drawing in each artwork post is a must

if you ever meet a young red-haired man claiming to have something in common with a blue punching-bag thingy please don’t offer him any alcohol
after a drink he wanted me to draw a Rhyperior by memory

SEVEN SECONDS

Pokémon Platinum nonsense

These are all part of an assignment that was due last week. Basically the teacher gave us these sketches from which we had to develop some characters. As you can see, I had quite some fun.
also the fourth one is not really a character and the situation is not really imaginary. I’d say it’s definitely not imaginary. dammit

This painting was part of today (well, as I write it’s already yesterday)’s exam. I had some paper birds I could put on the top of this so they would appear in the jungle and such, but as of now those birds are…well…let’s say they had a hard day and they’re needing some sleep. read also: I’M NOT PUTTING THEM ON AGAIN, SORRY
also, sorry for the quality :( couldn’t get a better shot

the best part of that exam was when the teacher referred to Flint as a she. tee hee tee hee

why Volkner I didn’t know you were such a sissy

I AM SO PROUD OF THIS
(also drawing mancrotches is fun)

most of you already saw these but I’m reposting them anyway. I wasn’t joking when I said I wanted to build a fanlisting for those two, it’s what I’m doing, and I want to have a sprite adoption center in it. Now you know what these are for.
Also, I’m working on more Volkner and Flint artworks. I’ve got sketches for five of them right now, just so you know.

Let’s end this post with the infamous sneezing chair. Today I had a meeting with an illustrator and while I was there I heard a sneeze coming from a place where no one was sitting. I therefore resolved it must have been the chair. (gotta change drug dealer lol)

ok so this was one huge art post. am I forgetting something? probably.
AH YES

BYE

hay guys, been busy lately. not only because of school, I’m also working on the Hall of Changes. Its completion is already at a very advanced stage, so you’re going to see it finished very soon. This may be the first time I’m actually keeping up with my schedule :O

I wanted to post that anime and manga rant, and I’ll probably do that later, but tonight I had this bizarre dream in which I had downloaded a Metroid animated film. As the movie begun the perspective switched to first person: from then on I was impersonating Samus and saw through her eyes and clearly felt her body, but without any virtual reality apparel.

Samus was going through this religious facility on some planet. It was at dusk and the lights were off, so that the alien metal in which the walls were made was seen in shades of blue. Every room or corridor was completely empty. At some point she got into a large room, looked at the ceiling and saw this round thing covered in red slime, like it was some vent or lamp. All the electronic devices in her suit alerted her of the danger and she shot at it to remove the slime, then she scanned the thing under it with her visor and discovered that its purpose was to control people’s will, making extremely easy for them to be brainwashed as they just needed to hear someone else with a different opinion from their own to agree with them. It was turned off at that moment, probably because of the slime, but it looked like it had been already used a lot.
After this discovery, she went back to her gunship to rest, thinking she would have alerted the Galactic Confederation on the next morning.

When she woke up, she thought it was better to know more about that device before making a faux pas. She went back to the facility and when she got into the large room she was horrified to discover that the device was turned on and the room was filled with children! There were large posters hanging from the walls, each one of them saying that being gay is bad and against God and that if they knew someone was gay they had to report it to the church.
Though the device was turned on, Samus fighted its influence, getting violent as a side effect. She tore apart the posters and asked the children who hanged them, and they told her about a priest who was at that moment visiting people’s houses.
She rushed to that place and found the priest talking with my parents. They weren’t brainwashed, so maybe it was only to let people know his organization was holy and good. Anyway, Samus shouted at the priest saying he was breaking intergalactic rules and he fled away, losing his cape during the escape and revealing he was Ridley with a Mother Brain head. Chasing sequence, Ridley-Brain let Samus know about his evil plan, which had to do with milking the gay out of people to inject it in Metroids. basically using the power of gay to conquer the world. In the end, Samus and Ridley-Brain were on the top of a building; she shot him and he fell down 20 stories, hitting the ground with an explosion. Happy ending with all the children and gay people free to do whatever they please. :D

This movie also had a sequel about which I remember very little, it had probably to do with Ridley-Brain using gay people to catch the children who betrayed him, but I don’t know. I remember visiting some websites which said it was clearly worse than the prequel. haha, bad sequels are bad even in dreams.

Anyway it was really weird, especially because it had a story which somehow made sense. Also I don’t remember having issues with homophobia lately. I don’t really know why Samus should get all enflamed about that either, or why should there be homophobic priests in space. I do remember being very insulted by those posters when I woke up, in any case. >:(
