Pokemon Go Competition Commission
So it turns out my previous pokemon group photo commission
was a surprisingly popular source of similar commission requests, especially considering how low its overall views are. Seriously, the ratio of views to requests is absolutely insane compared to all my other submissions, it doesn't even make sense. That being said though, not a lot of people end up wanting to pay for that many characters drawn and colored at once, as the lack of follow-ups before now would indicate. But that trend finally met its match with the giving spirit of Christmas, resulting in not one but two pokemon team gift commissions, the first of which was this custom gift for some lucky recipient and Pokemon Go rival. How generous! And thus we now have this illustration commemorating the moment Trainer Hitmonlee triumphed over Trainer Dragonair in their Pokemon Go competition, witnessed by the player's most memorable captures.
And as long as we're on the subject of commissions- At any given time, yes, I am probably open to commissions, worst case scenario you might have to wait for a previous commission/commitment to be completed first. So if you want something like this or practically anything else you think I'm the right person for, just contact me. Note or email preferred, since I'm not always the best about keeping up with my comments.

Crystal Core Currier Bird Color Concepts Round 2
And with this image, I've posted the last of the work I did on The Crystal Core that's worth sharing, which was also the final set of concepts produced in my time there. From here on out, expect a return to my normal posting schedule.
After the previous round of currier bird concepts, its form went back toward the vaguely raven-ish direction I first sketched, and the coloring went in another direction entirely. These were my ideas for the "cosmic silhouette" look, for lack of a better term.

Crystal Core Currier Bird First Color Concepts
With this collection of color concepts, I've almost reached the end of my work on The Crystal Core. The birds in this image are various concepts for the currier bird, the final character I did designs for. As the name conveys, its function in the game was to deliver messages, and it was supposed to look magical and mysterious, as opposed to resembling a regular ol' bird. The designs at this stage were meant to evoke the minimal detail, somewhat abstract geometric stylings of the Native American Thunderbird legends, as well as the lines on a circuit board, in keeping with its role in a virtual world. The biggest question at this early design stage, as you can see, was what form it should take. Though eventually the entire coloring theme changed too.

Crystal Core Land and Air Creature Concepts
While working on the upcoming educational game The Crystal Core from Bitloft, I did early designs for all sorts of things, including creatures that the players would encounter. Said creatures were intended to fit the educational themes of the worlds they inhabited, and contrary to most living things in video games, not supposed to be malicious enemies, but rather neutral creatures peacefully going about their virtual lives.
This final set of creature concepts was for the later areas dealing with more large-scale biological concepts like evolution, and as such, the designs were meant to evoke familiar organisms, rather than life forms based on the foundations of biology like chemistry. Still, since the simulation the game's set in is all messed up and corrupted, and regular animals would be boring, funky combo animals were the way to go. But since the game doesn't have swimming, they did have to be things that tread upon the ground or flew through the air. Otherwise, I could do pretty much whatever, and I like whatever.
The silly pun names weren't required, I just threw them in for fun because I am clearly the master of silly pun names. I'd imagine the Pokemon Company should be hiring me the moment they see these mad naming skillz. Along with the drawing, I'm obviously the whole package.

...But enough talk, have at you!
After having been deathly quiet for the longest time, I've finally gotten caught up on matters here and am ready to bring this page back to life. Again. Of course, a lively presence here requires new submissions most of all, but a relatively fresh Journal entry really helps a page look active as well. And that requires writing one, which has proven surprisingly tricky. Not because I have nothing to say - lacking thoughts and opinions I'd love to shout at the world is not even remotely the case - but because I no longer feel sure what a dA Journal is really for. I used to more or less see them as an all-purpose blog attached to the gallery, and maybe that's what they truly are. But over time, possibly due to my own internet opinion blasting fatigue, I've felt more and more that if people are watching me for the art I (sporadically) post, a random Journal notice in their message center alerting them to a rant on video games or politics or the like is just an unwanted annoyance compared to the Nintendo fan art that the people clearly come to this page for. As such, though there are many times I've strongly considered posting a new Journal about whatever was grinding my gears at that particular moment, I've ultimately opted not to clog up the collective social media system with the billionth internet rant that, I assume, nobody needs or wants. Thus, my Journal submissions have become pretty sparse these days.
Still, if for no other reason than making it extra clear a page isn't dead, I'd say it's good to have a Journal on the front page that's less than a year old, so I had to write something. As those of you who bothered to read this can see, my brilliant solution was to write a Journal about why I haven't been writing Journals. Because obviously, if people don't even want Journals about other things, a Journal about Journals is absolutely the best way to solve the problem and not the worst choice possible. ME AM GOOD JOB SMART.
