So, yeah, you've seen a billion posts about Pokemon X/Y thoughts and junk. My thoughts?
Well, I'm excited for a new game. I love all Pokemon no matter their shape size or similarity to odd objects. Heck, one of my absolute favorites from Gen 5 is Klinklang. I adored my big lovable Cog. <3
The new starters? I like 'em! Fennekin, of course, is the ultimate fan favorite. XD Because of that, I think I'll choose one of the other two when I get the game, which won't be for a while, since I'll probably be on my mission when it comes out. Oh well. I think Chespin is cute - it's like, a chipmunk with a chestnut husk hood. I think that's awfully cute. And Froakie? I figure he'll be the least popular, poor little fellow. But I think he's cute anyway. With the cloud/like bubble things around his neck, maybe we'll have the first half Ice starter, or maybe half-flying. A flying frog? That'd be pretty cool.
With the legendaries, I think they look awesome. The phoenix bird thing, is of course, a phoenix bird thing. And since we haven't had a true bird legendary in so long, why not? But I definitely love the deer guy. Oh heavens. He looks so much like the Forest God from Princess Mononoke.
Also, I usually rate Pokemon awesome-ness on how cool it would be to ride one. And both the phoenix and the deer get a strong 9 for me. (Raikou is a 10 - I mean, it's cloud is totally shaped like a saddle.)
Lots of folks will have their issues with the games and the characters and the new Pokemon, and that's okay. I just don't.
Also, I really hope we won't get as bad as the Star Wars fans, bless their hearts. We should be happy that the Pokemon world is expanding and growing, and won't be stopping any time soon. Because I still want more adventures with Pokemon. :3
Alright, off the soap box now. Heh. I would go try and paint the new starters, but I feel sick today and have no motivation to paint. Bleerrgh.

Hosting a Warrior Cats MAP
Howdy folks! Apologies as usual for being so quiet on here. Just hopping in to advertise a Youtube project of mine - any of y'all part of the Warrior Cats fandom? It's the fandom that first got me into animation and which led me to my current career, so it has a fond place in my heart. I've been more of an observer of it in the last decade than participatory, so in my post-job free time I wanted to try hopping into it again. That being said, TickleMeFrosty and I are hosting a Multi-Animator-Project (MAP) for Warriors! If you'd like to participate, check out the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoFq1acrs_o
NuzRooke Sun - Important Change
Howdy y'all! I have some news regarding NuzRooke Sun. Many of you who followed the comic have, of course, expressed frustration in the lack of new pages. Understandably! It has been almost two years since the Rooke's Army team and I managed to complete a page. There've been a lot of factors to that - we've all been through job and schooling changes, new priorities, and of course an international pandemic. On top of that, NuzRooke Sun from the outset was a much more ambitious project than its predecessor NuzRooke Silver. We wanted to explore the themes of Pokemon, develop the world-building, and tell a story with a much grander scope. It's a story that's still dear to my heart, but it's proven far too big for a team that can't devote their full attention to it. Too big, that is...for a comic. So, after a great deal of thought and discussion amongst Rooke's Army, we have decided to continue the project...in a different format. We will post the WIP of Page 12, the last page that
Update on Emergency Commissions
Howdy everyone! I just wanted to thank you all so much for the many commissions I've been able to do. Every little bit helps. I wanted to update you all though, that thankfully my situation has become less dire! I got hired for two short-term freelance storyboarding jobs. Hooray! So it means I'll be getting some income in at last, for at least a few months. I think I should be stable until at least the fall, which is an enormous relief. Plus I'm really excited to work with the studios that hired me, they seem very very cool! I'm going to leave the $25 commissions open though. It's turned out to be a nice commission format for me - just one price, one product, 1-2 characters, simple. Smaller commissions start to feel like they're not worth the time they would require, and bigger commissions can feel overwhelming fast. So doing these $25 commissions has been perfect. So if anyone wants to commission me for a 25-er, send me a note! I'm going to focus on saving as much money as I can
Emergency Commissions Open
Howdy y'all! Hope you're all staying safe and hanging in there. I just wanted to put out a notice - I'm nearing the end of my unemployment benefits, and I still haven't found another job. Savings are starting to run lower too. It's nerve-wracking to say the least, haha! But at least I'm learning a lot about how unemployment benefits actually work. Turns out in California, if I earn any money while getting unemployment, it'll just delay the benefits and make them last longer so to speak. Kind of. The math gets tricky. But if what I earn is $25 USD or less, it won't count against the benefits at all, so that's just extra money I can HAVE. Which, every little bit counts, and helps me to stay in my house. So while I figure out a better game plan and keep applying to jobs, I'm opening up emergency $25 USD commissions. I can only take that much money a week before it starts to butt against unemployment. So I'll be accepting either one larger $25 USD commission a week, or multiple little

i hope that with the games titles possibly hinting at a genetics theme,the breeding system will be changed to more represent real-life breeding, IE,shiny being a recessive trait,and such
