Pokémon

Mimikyu View

Pokémon Sun and Moon comes out today. I pre-ordered my copy of Moon months ago, and I’m looking forward to finally playing it. To celebrate, I’m posting this pic of possibly my favorite new Pokémon being introduced this generation, Mimikyu, watching Sun (the new male Trainer) having some fun with a couple Pikachus. For those not familiar with Mimikyu, its backstory is that it’s a Pokémon who is jealous of the love Pikachu gets from Trainers, and so it cosplays as one to try and get the same attention. So, naturally, it would be a bit interested if it came across a scene like this in the woods.

Since genitalia aren’t shown on the Pikachus, and I know not everyone is familiar with gender identification of different Pokémon, the one riding the cock is female, while the one licking is male (the trick is in the tail shape).

Big thanks to my friend Anya Lykke for the idea for this pic. Attached below is a video of her sketching an example to illustrate the idea. Feel free to compare it to my version, I’m sure she’ll love that.

MomSwap – Dawn and Johanna

Here’s the second entry in the MomSwap series, this time featuring Pokémon’s Dawn and Johanna. Obviously the world of Pokémon is a very different one than the world of Coraline, or any of the other franchises that’ll be popping up on this app, but in this setting the characters live their lives in a more mundane setting. I’m sure in this setting they have a pet cat that vaguely resembles a Glameow. 😉

I tried looking everywhere to see if Dawn has an official last name listed anywhere. I found lots of names that sounded plausible, but no official source for any of them, so I figured Dawn and her mom must’ve just decided not to use last names when they signed up for the app.
I wasn’t planning to do another MomSwap so soon, but I needed a simple pic to help me keep my sanity while I drew people kissing. So, when I needed a break from those commissions, I worked on this on the side and it ended up getting done a lot faster than I’d expected. Not sure when another MomSwap entry will come along, but I’d like to do a new Pokédex entry before then.

Red ‘n Gold

This is a picture I started a long time ago. At the time I really wanted to try doing something with Red and Gold since, of all the protagonists from Pokémon games, they seem to be the best ones to pair up due to them having actually met on Gold’s games. I thought it’d be cute to see them on the losing end of a duel with Team Rocket, so here we are. It’s sort of like the video game version of this picture, now that I think about it. Once I got it started, though, it seemed like there was always something getting in the way of it being completed, but eventually I got around to wrapping it up. Hopefully you guys can enjoy the final product.

Tomorrow I’ll be posting the last of my commissions I had lined up. That means I should be able to focus more on my comic projects now that I can take a short break from them . I’d like to make some more progress on those, since I know people are anxious for the next pages but I’ve barely scratched the surface on completing them.
