Furia and Mimma Artblog! Yay! (Merfolk Era)

I have seen a wispy kitty 

And a kitten made of ink

They were sitting there all pretty

Staring but they never blink

The kitties might be hungry

Hm, but wait, let me think

How will I fill the belly

of a cat of smoke or ink?

Revenge for eternallyethereal, as it is tradition! We clash every ArtFight, and this year we were delighted to draw her adorable Sir Kibbles with our Poltercat! Black cats really do give "creature" vibes (and we love them for it).

En garde! Let's cross pencils; we are Team Comedy and we always revenge ;)

(With a completely new roster of featured characters, compared to 2025! Yay!)

Lumiose City attracts Trainers from every region, there's always someone new at the Flare Nouveau stand where Lysan works! Trainers like Fox Firestone and her Blaziken, Il Mistero and her Sableye, Cassinova and her Fletchinder, strong and looking for the thrilling challenges the Royale Z-A can offer...! (Not Mr. Aubin though, looks like he came all the way from Galar for the Budew beauty contest in the Bleu sector (*ᴗˬᴗ )ꕤ*.ﾟ). 

Revenge for kiananuva12, and biiig wishes of an amazing birthday, darling! 

Fox and her Pokémon by her, Il Mistero & Augustine Aubin and their Pokémon by us, and Cassinova & Fletchinder by CapriBea! (Another cameo of a character of ours on the background too, Tuxedo, probably trying to see if there's a Staraptor-themed coffee or something because he's a Staraptor girlie).

This is a Dieffenbachia seguine, cultivar "Camille."

Well, actually there are three of them, very small. And very, very battered. Sunburned, with dry, thin leaves that almost look like wet paper, the extremely dry soil that looks like a single compact tablet.

How did it get like this? Well, someone probably forgot it in the sun without watering it. And that someone isn't us, because that's how we bought it.

That's right: bought it. We have to create a jungle on a very tight budget, remember? And so when we saw this dying plant in the local DIY store, offered at the modest price of just one euro (a steal for one, or rather, for several Dieffenbachias) due to its pitiful condition, we couldn't resist and bought it.

We think we can perform a miracle, transforming these three tiny masses of limp, withered leaves into spectacular adults. They'd been sitting on the shelf for too long… no one would take them, and they were teetering on the brink, with one foot (or rather, a root, or rather, almost all of them) in the grave. They'll be perfect for our low-budget jungle house.

We bought this plant about four days ago and… ooohh… things are already starting to change, don't you think?

It looks like it's already out of danger: a little ugly, but at this point it'll definitely survive. What a relief! All we had to do was leave it all night with the pot soaking in a saucer full of water, then bring it back inside and place it in a very bright spot, among its other jungle companions, which keep it humid.

Of course, we also trimmed off the damaged leaves, which were further curling up and yellowing, so as you can see, the foliage is much lighter.

But we're confident that in a week or two it can be replenished without any problems, considering that, as you can see, it's already putting out new leaves, with beautiful shoots!

Revenge for illmaticdoc! Somnia is a Ghost-Fairy Banette that can cause some strange activity in dreams... it never leaves someone with a bad dream though! 10/10 would hug trying to get a cozy nap 😴

We had this characters in our bookmarks from artists that we both wanted to draw a revenge for (Biibiiibiiii for an attack we received last year, and Bramble_Bird from '26!) and it felt really right that they could interact! Bindi know what it's like to face a curse that transforms your body, something that Aliceanna is really feeling the burden of.

Monster lovers, but it's literal (two monsters that love each other).

Emelia Walsh and Metalheadbelong to @lovelywingsart. A black ballpoint pen revenge on ArtFight!

(Oops, that Heisenberg is not complete yet, sorry :) )

She's big, she's bad and... of course, she's a wolf! Aurais kinda cool, isn't she?

ArtFight revenge against Selomon, who illustrated Seras Alkahest for us.

We often work together, completing each other's work: maybe Mimma does the pencil part, Furia inks it, and Mimma finishes it with pencils… or Furia finishes it all digitally!

Sometimes the work is completely digital, and then maybe Mimma did it, or Furia did it… we have two slightly different digital styles, but we both use it.

Maybe Furia a little more, also because she's the one who digitally colors the ballpoint pen drawings.

Furia's favorite medium is, obviously, the black ballpoint pen! This is how most of the Fish Don't Cry comics are created: they are sketched (it's all sketches, there's no planning) with black pen in a small sketchbook, and often the pages are drawn while we're out and about, maybe in line at the post office, or at the doctor's, or at the supermarket checkout.

But when it comes to more "serious" illustrations, she creates a composition/base sketch with pencil and then refines it with ballpoint pen.

Mimma's favorite medium is colored pencils! Those colorful traditional works? Yep, Mimma does them!

And most of the chibis (but not all) are done by Mimma. Sometimes Mimma draws with ballpoint pen too!

But rarely, almost never, does Furia draw with colored pencils.

Pixel art is almost exclusively done by Furia, but she also does almost all the oil paintings.

We both do watercolors, often completing each other's drawings.

Rattata, Snivy, and Torracat. Patron reward for RodonEndwell!

It's Monday! And this time we have un update! 

(Sorry for last time...).
