Secret type projects! I got to do some character design work for an animated show pitch with a local studio…I had SO much fun!
I’ve never designed characters with a sheet of expressions before, and I really love the challenge of designing as simply as possible.
I think you can glean from all the sketchwork- it’s not as easy as it looks!
Ninetales is forthcoming, but in the meantime I didn’t want to wait- I think the world could use a little more Vulpix! :D
I usually post these in pairs, but sometimes the procrastination gets out of control. So rather than make everyone wait- have a fancy fox!
Answer:
WAAA! MADE THIS HIGH FIVE SPECIALLY FOR YOU.
I am sooo happy to be done with Nidos!!
I love kirby and Clefairy and now we are getting into the fun parts of the ‘dex :D
Clefairy and I are going to party like it’s 3012 tonight.
Answer:
SO OFTEN, I can’t even explain. It is the number one initiator of conversations with hilarious and kind strangers. It may not be a great attractor of women- but it does make for some fun social situations!
A man shouted his congratulations from an adjacent van at a traffic light and tried to give me a web url for his facial-hair association before the light turned green.
It was a very popular St Patrick’s day feature- one girl dedicated a karaoke song to it.
One time this group of inebriated highschoolers lined up for high-fives, and then all asked to touch it.

BlimeyGames Asked: AHOY. I love asking this question; If you could make ANY video game with no restrictions, what would it be like? FANTASYRPGMMORPGFIRSTPERSONSHOOTERSINGLEPLAYERDUNGEONCRAWLERROGUELIKE(strategy)? Also I like your twirly mustache.
Woop woop! Fun question! And thanks re: the stache. We’ve been through a lot, the stache and I :}
If I could make any game ever? It would be a puzzle solving, world exploring, game that indiscriminately combined all the elements of Riven, Monkey Island, Shenmue, and then just games I love like Skies of Arcadia and Jet Set Radio and Flower and Journey! And it would have Pokemon in it! And it would be a Pokemon MMO. With Professor Layton puzzles and the soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi! NO WAIT, IT WOULD BE A MUSICAL. And you would use music to fight with your pokemon…
Or just any game, but with female characters that are dimensional and funny and noble and heroic and are treated like people. That would be neat.
Answer:
Draw what you love!
DRAW WHAT YOU LOVE. DRAW WHAT YOU LOVE. DRAW WHAT YOU LOVE.
Not what you think other people will like. FILL your portfolio with it! And then maybe some day people will pay you to draw what you love…and that rules.
GOOD LUCK! :D

She was a storm
and left me feeling like the rain-wet grass after the rain has passed
the grey streaked sky full of distant, hidden light
the endless, empty overcast
the sun-parched earth screaming in the too-bright light, long since a Californian spring
And she ran into the West
to throw her relentless, poisoned optimism
at the dying horizon
(as the sun’s last embers dissipate in fog)
believing she could chase them
all the way out to the end of the earth.
But gone are the lights,
and the day has found us cold as a new england morning-
scarf-muffled and mittened
when the day breaks over the blasted rocks
(on weather-worn shores)
And it is not her.
And she is not in it.
For the lingering last light left her perched on the land’s end
and only the oceans know if she cried.
At last! The Nidocluster is finished! It took me so long because I got the wrong Nidoran, and completed the dudes before the ladies and had to go back and fix it so that the order was right and…
PHEW
WHO’S NEXT? LET’S DO THIS!

If you’ll indulge me, I need to process something I’ve been grappling with: Art-fear.
Answer:
Hi! Thank you :D I’ve been getting a lot of requests for something like this recently. While I don’t have anything like this at the moment, I’d love to put one together as soon as I have the time/presence of mind to record myself :) Thanks so much for the interest in my process!
Do Sandslashes even have mouths? Welp. They do now!
Pretty sure he’s saying- ”I WILL USE THESE. Don’t make me come over there!”
I always loved Sandshrew- I think he and Dratini are buddies :)
In between paying gigs, we’re movin through dese pokemans!
Onwards to the Nidocluster!
Disney animator Heidi Gilbert recently put together this original animatic based on the Wicked musical in an attempt to see about having it done as an animated movie.

I’m still here!
Things got reaaally busy. And also, for whatever reason, it took me FOREVER to get Raichu right O_oI just. couldn’t. get. him. at ALL. I have self-indulgently included my crap attempts.
I literally filled, like, 4 pages of my sketchbook with failed Raichu before I wound up with victory Raichu. Which is exactly how I felt when I drew him.
ONWARDS!
And then Sandshrew came out right in one sketch. ARRRRT, WHYYYY???
