Art Fight attack for @aimer-arts !

This is Primrose and Storm of Team Heroes, and they both belong to Aimer Arts! I know I just drew Team Fate during Hero and Partner Week, but when I saw you were on the other team for Art Fight, I couldn't stop myself from drawing more characters of yours.

(Find me on Art Fight here!)

Higher saturation / potentially eye-straining version under the cut:

Hero and Partner Week, Day 7: Free Day!

For the last day of Hero and Partner Week, I've decided to draw a few surprise gift pieces for some of the PMD artists that I always enjoy seeing on my dash!

First up are Piper and Clementine, and they belong to @aimer-arts. Their dynamic is just too cute, and I couldn't resist drawing them. I hope you like it, Aimer!

Hero and Partner Week, Day 1: Getting Lost

“Neo and Skitty scramble into the darkness of Lapis Cave through the narrow opening in the mountainside as Shiftry’s gang closes in behind them. They hurry deeper into the dungeon with only the soft glow of precious gemstones to light their way.”

I sketched a few Pokémon in my journal to practice drawing quickly the other day, and I liked how this skitty looked so I decided to finish it digitally! I tried to focus on getting the shading and foreshortening right, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

I did two different versions of the tail and couldn’t decide which I liked better, so I included them both! The first is a basic attack with a motion blur effect to highlight the movement, and the second is meant to represent the move iron tail. The non-glowy version is included under the cut as well.

Next up in my small collection of gift pieces is Amaterasu from @askteamsupernova / @leavingautumn13 ! Their design is amazing (as are the designs of all your other characters on the ask blog), and I had a blast drawing this! I'm looking forward to learning more about Ammy and Surya as you share more art of them and their friends.

I wanted to draw Surya too, but unfortunately I don't have much experience drawing anthro characters and none of my sketches turned out quite right. I might try again once I have more time on my hands! Also! I wasn't sure if she wears bows on just one side or both, so I did two different versions. The version with two sets of bows is under the cut!

Art Fight Attack for @milkcandy !

Hero and Partner Week, Day 6: Farewell

“The falling star continued on its fiery path as Neo and Skitty took their first steps into the tower held aloft in the clouds. The ornate spiral staircase, carved from weathered stone fetched from the ground in a time long since past, seemingly never ended. They leapt cracks in the stairs where stone had crumbled away to the ground far below, slipped beneath crackling storm clouds close enough to touch, and fled from the furious dragons and raptors that chased close behind. They climbed high, higher than any denizen of the ground had ever been before, with the knowledge of what would come hanging heavy on their hearts with every step. Closer, still, the star fell as they stepped, at last, onto the pinnacle of Sky Tower.

This is our last adventure.

The Sky Serpent was waiting for them atop the clouds with scales shimmering emerald and ruby and gold. It watched through onyx eyes, unblinking. Oblivious to the coming destruction of those beneath, it refused explanation and acknowledged only their invasion into its kingdom. The fight was brutal, and ended only when the very foundation of the tower tremored with the the arrival of the star. 

I want to stay.

Battered and bloodied, Neo and Skitty pointed skyward toward the blazing star. The Serpent, finally understanding that its life, too, soon would end, took flight from the tower and glided up to meet the falling star. With a deafening roar, it unleashed a brilliant beam of light that split the star in two.

I want more time with my irreplaceable, invaluable friend.

Neo pressed close to Skitty as the sky fell around them.

Perhaps, in another life, we will meet again.”
