I am a person. These are my things.
A few folks on the Deev have been expressing interest in Serena from Pokémon dressed as a Lady Trainer, and I finally got the itch to deliver on the concept this weekend. Working on the pencils for this piece felt extremely rough, though, like dragging my mind over sandpaper with each line. I’m pleased with how the drawing turned out, but I’ve been away from the game and I felt it. Gotta shake that dust off, fam.
Hey. How you been?
It’s been a minute since I dropped new artwork here, and not a New York minute either. We’re talking a Minnesota minute. With AI prompt-jockey accounts pooping out mass-production fan art every three seconds, and would-be tyrants trying to choke out liberty for the marginalized, and commercial juggernauts milking workers and customers alike, and two wars going on, it’s hard to find the impetus to draw things, but I arted today. Dang, that got unexpectedly real!
But the point is, I had today off work, and I drew Dawn and her short friend exuding their biggest Robin Sparkles and Snow energy. I got back on my game: girly fashion with a little tongue-in-cheek goofiness. And it was fun! I enjoyed pushing the pen and tapping the stylus, and despite our problem-wracked world, there are still many things to rejoice about. So sing a song, dance around, put wraparounds and a sick lid on your penguinesque gladiator animal, and get a little silly. Hope yet remains.
