Head on over to my ACGgoods store to grab all four of em as a connected keychain, or slightly larger keychains of them seperately!

Got any other Hermits/Lifers you want a chibi keychain of? Any teams as connected charms? Feel free to request them!

(I’m totally open to requests of other MCYT too. I’ll just probably make better designs of cc’s/famdoms I’m interested in, like Lifesteal/SFAWTDE/UU, considering I draw them more frequently and can shove in more references)

Want these four, or any other MCYT chibis on something other than a keychain? ACG offers a boatload of stuff, just give me the details and I’ll set it up.

Please don’t request unless you actually think you’ll buy them at some point in the near future. I don’t want to clog my store with things no one wants, haha

YOU! YES YOU! I’ve decided I’m insane and am trying to get as far as possible through the Pokédex using other peoples’ unique designs!

Do you have an original character or species that you’d like to be included? Well good for you, cause I have 6 mons per page and *checks notes* 529 to go, considering I do one mon per evo line. Boy do I have free time. Maybe I’lll keep it up next year?

ANYWAY, leave your character’s link down below and I will heavily consider it! It really depends on how contested the slot is, so good luck if it’s an Eeveelution.

I say I do one mon per evolution line, but it’s more specifically the evolution… Clump? Eg, Zubat and Golbat are in the same “clump” because they’re in the same spot in the dex, but Crobat will be its own doodle because it’s dex number is out in Johto. I first look at any requests, then I look at the first stage to find a suitable mon, and if that doesn’t yield anything I look into the evolution and so on.

Rules:

No Megas, Gmax, Dmax, or Paradox forms. My sketchbook is too tiny :(

No gijinkas or anthros. Again, mostly because sketchbook too tiny. I’m working within less than a 1.8in X 2.8in area per mon, and often paint pens or colored pencils. No thank you.

No fusions! I want every mon to have its own dedicated slot.

It can totally be an original/official regional variant (eg. hisuian zorua), but not a regionally convergent mon (eg. toedscruel). Definitely not an entirely original species, it’s gotta have a dex number!

These next two aren’t rules so much as suggestions. I likely won’t choose mons that don’t follow these, unless there are no other choices. There may be exceptions if I just…think it will be fun to draw, lol, so feel free to leave yours regardless. These mostly just tell you what I think is fun to draw, yanno?

It should be recognisable. I can name every Pokémon from their shadow—-even if pkmnquiz took me nearly an hour at my fastest, lol)—-and I should be able to name yours too.

It should be differentiable even without any accessories or clothing! I look for different silhouettes or patterns especially. If there’s not much difference other than clothes or a basic palette change, it’ll only happen if I have no other viable options.

As a good reference for the two prior rules: The Beedrill and Spearow I drew were not differentiable enough from their original counterparts and just had no other competition, while the Sandslash was pushing it on being recognizable but I liked it too much to not do it, lol. A perfect balance between differentiability and recognizability is the Wartortle, or the Pikachu.

My artfight

Psst, for each page I choose somewhat randomly whether I work with pens of various lineweights, colored pencil, or paint pens. Tell me if you have a preference and I’ll take it into account :D

My first fully completed comic strip that wasn’t chibis so it might be a bit awkward but I had fun with the panels!!

It is, of course, the second trial as described in Varian’s Tangled Trials by IFoundYouJustinTime and TheArtistsMuse on Ao3

Getting back into TTS and with that comes my inevitable ✨Vat7K deep dive✨

This was also doubling as my first time drawing any of the cast, so I did a row for each where I copied their concept art poses, then did a side view of my own, then a semi-in-character random pose with another character. Did Hugo and Varian to start, then decided “why not” and did Yong, Nuru, and Donella as well even though I didn’t plan to initially. Ignore Nuru’s hand, I straight up gave up on that mess.

Third image isn’t necessarily Vat7K and has random other stuff but I was using Hugo’s face shape to practice his expressions specifically. Except for the one with huge hair—my sister Xephyr thought it’d be funny to give him a clown wig, but I never got around to coloring it rainbow so it’s just plain old bushy hair.

Fourth was my first full Varigo image which was kinda the whole goal, I also had some fun with pens which I don’t use often. I also had a glitter gel pen and two highlighters and couldn’t resist.

I just realised that the fifth image is the *first time* I have ever drawn people being remotely intimate. See, I usually show off all my art, and for some reason it’s always been too awkward to draw people kissing even knowing that I could just…not show it to anyone IRL, lol. Proportions are a bit off (Varian’s too big compared to Hugo) but I think it turned out decent for my first time.

I had some fun with coloring on the sixth image cause I’d only been using black and white and wanted to do some oversaturated digital stuffs
