Tried to get something decent drawn, and I opted to try making Angoramon. But I decided I wanted to take it easy with this one, so I opted to go off-model. So if you were to compare this look to official imagery, there will be some notable differences, even when considering how different said official art can appear amongst each other.

But in this instance I didn't care. I adjusted enough to keep things a little consistent, but what I liked, I kept. Angoramon here has a slightly more defined physique, looking less like a big egg. I wanted to put some personality in the hair near the head, and I made the expression friendlier and cuter.

Essentially, if you were to ask me how I would want Angoramon to look ideally, this would be my response. This one is Angora-mine.

A birthday gift for @malamiteltd

Broom's been spending some time building his own video game. But not just any video game. One that's based on the design concepts of his Teijru friend, Copper. He's been looking forward to showing Copper the prototype for a while now. Although, I don't think Broom's living space is all that well adjusted for the height of a Teijru.

I did this as a birthday gift to represent that I've been picking up development on Jamal The Bombardier Bird. And I've presented him with the first prototype I've built today for his birthday. I was hoping to have a fully working level to show off. But right now it's still in a very early stage. Just basic game mechanics. Hopefully I'll have something more to show off at the end of this year.

Half of an art trade with @spcrossing.

Quincy seems to have been tasked with teaching Bits the Rabbit some math. Unfortunately, Bits isn't known to be much of an academic, but he answered the math problem the best he knew how. He seems quite proud that he could solve the problem, but Quincy doesn't seem very amused.

Hello. My name is Copper, and I wanted to show some sketches I recently made.

This usually isn't the type of thing I draw... I usually prefer to stick to the characters I made up for my story. But...something possessed me to draw these little scenes of the friends I've met over the recent years. They're not great drawings, I know, but I just seemed to want to do this.

This first one features Lead and Broom. It seems Broom came all the way from Keshly'm to show off a game project his group was working on, and Lead seemed interested in trying it out with him. Seems like the kind of thing he might be interested in.

It might be a short play session though; that little power supply Broom uses to run those electronics only lasts about an hour before it has to be recharged.

This one has Husker from Byra offering Dravite one of his homegrown apples. Husker's managed to make quite a name for himself with the large fruits he grows; his grapes are apple-sized and his apples are watermelon-sized.

Like Broom, I met Husker when I got abducted by aliens. After I chased the aliens off their ship he keeps calling me a hero. I kinda wish he didn't do that...

So this one...Mica is a Teijroid that can apparently be separated into pieces. The idea came up to have Beryl, our self-proclaimed “puzzle master,” try to put Mica back together using nothing but a picture reference. And Beryl doesn't want any hints on how to do it, so she taped Mica's mouth shut.

I really hope this doesn't give Beryl any ideas. I'm not sure Mica would be too happy to go through this for real.

This one features another Teijroid friend, Topaz. He resides on a farm owned by a bunch of Linkha, and here he's trying to introduce my Linkha friend Tea to them. I've known Tea to be a bit shy, so this could be a little struggle.

Thinking about it, considering that shyness, it's kinda crazy Tea is so willing to hang out with me. But I guess I kinda have something similar going on, so maybe it's a “relatable” factor.

This last one features someone I met pretty recently, Pezzo. He's one of the few Teijru that owns a boat, and he's offering a ride to Graphite. Most Khejians know Graphite is VERY strong, but all his muscle means his body's too dense to float on water, so he's clinging to a life ring.

I'm familiar with Graphite after going on a few missions...it might be a bit presumptuous to call him a friend as well. In fact, I don't know if he'd like this drawing considering he looks kinda scared here...I probably should've reconsidered this one...

Looking back...I didn't really have very many friends growing up. To think I've managed to meet so many folks from all over who's willing to put up with me...my flaws, my typical silence, everything...it's still mind-blowing. And humbling. I rarely say much, but...I'm thankful I met them all. Sometimes it's hard to keep going, but they support me whenever they can. I doubt I could do it alone.

Maybe...that's why I did these. As thanks.

It's February 6, both Raichu Day and Mewtwo's Birthday. For whatever reason I decided to do something a little different this year. I took some characters of mine and changed them to make this little scene.

We have Vale as a Raichu, a little distressed about being the one summoned to fight a Mewtwo. But the aforementioned Mewtwo is Copper, who's realizing he's changed and isn't really sure what to do or think, with anxiety starting to set in. And the Pokémon Trainer? A familiar old face with a very different-styled body than usual.

It was interesting drawing these three in different bodies. But thankfully they only have to worry about this happening for one day.

BONUS IMAGE:

This was the result.

This Leppicorn actually originated from a cloning experiment at an unspecified, secretive scientific facility. Modified genes affected his nature, making him obedient and trusting, with the intent of making a more tame Leppicorn. However, it left his body with some flaws, making his antlers very brittle and his hair unable to grow the proper way. His psychic abilities have been unable to fully develop, with telepathy as his sole skill.

There were numerous attempts by the scientists to fix his unusual physical ailments, which included experimental medical treatments and painful procedures. Chance remained patient despite some of the agonizing abuse he went through. But eventually the scientists decided he was incapable of being treated, and ultimately deemed him a failure. They began a new cloning experiment hoping for more desirable results; meanwhile Chance was released into the Esper Woods, with no knowledge of the area or means of survival, though the scientists assured him that he would be fine...
