Feeling quite good about myself today. Overconfident, maybe a bit, but I am actually getting stuff done. I'm feeling better after a quick bout of sickness, all my latest med upgrades are working fantastically, and oh yeah, I'm actually getting work done on that Pokemon comic project.
Right now, I'm taking it slowly, trying to work out the how of the comic, mainly getting back into drawing habits, and finding my own style to draw in. I've found that when I just use official art as a base, it tends to look better in the end, and yet still recognizable. I suppose it makes sense that imitating the genuine article would look worse than doing it your own way. My takes on Beedrill and Sudowoodo are my favorites, and when my mom decided to take a peek at it, chose Sunflora as hers. I'm also fond of my Farfetch'd.
I've made my current goal just learning some of the techniques I'm using, and then after I get the foundations set, start working on the guys I'll be drawing most. I still have to design how the player character avatar will look. I'm a bit excited, because a new project means I'm overflowing with new ideas for once.
Oddly enough, some are harder to draw than you think, and others easier. Hitmonchan gave me far less trouble than I thought, once I got the head shape down it was a breeze. Aipom, on the other hand... I loathe the thought of having to draw that face. Difficult stuff. Will have to practice more there...
Speaking of, I've gotten a bit ready for the actual game I'm playing. I bred off a couple of Growlithe eggs, the second being backup, and also caught a wild Farfetch'd carrying a Stick (held item that boosts its critical hit rate, for those not in the know) which I'll transfer over and give to the one I'm using rather than hunt for one for who knows how long. Even with my easier method it took a while. (hint: Compoundeyes + Frisk = Success)
I have most, if not all of my clothes packed. Now it's just toiletries and the Bag O' Awesomeness (my laptop/electronics bag) and I'll be set.
Michigan? Canada? Here I come.
