Can you tell that I've been on a Pokemon kick lately? I have been working like crazy on my Pokemon journal comic, Too Old For Pokemon. It updates every Saturday over at
BlimpsAhoy.com.
I have an idea, and I'd like for you to participate. If you draw me and my Pokemon team, I'll draw you and yours. This is something I want to do with a bunch of different artists, I think it will be fun. What do my Pokemon look like?
CLICK HERE TO SEE THEM!That's the title from Episode 11, which I'm currently working on. It won't be posted online for a few weeks, since Episode 7 is only due to update tomorrow. So you can refer to my comic to get a feel for my trainer character and some of the Pokemon, but it will be a while before my current team is fully introduced. So I'll bring you up to speed:
Trogdor the CharmeleonTough. badass. Not too much personality beyond being ferocious and happy and adorably dense.
Pointy the NidorinoMy current favourite. Lots of horns. Impressive.
Horace the DrowzeeRecently evolved into a Hypno, but that won't be until Ep. 11 anyways. Draw him as either. No pupils, scary and creepy mental powers.
Rupert the PidgeottoReally wants to be part of the team. Likes to fight, tries to be tough. Wants to make it to the Elite Four, but how realistic is that? He's a Pidgeotto so he will probably be released eventually.
Bernice the GravelerShe is a behemoth. She is a girl. She has eyelashes. She throws rocks and makes Pokemon faint.
Fran the GloomFran was a cool Oddish, but now that she's evolved, she stinks and releases poisonous spores everywhere she goes. She is followed by a stink cloud rising from her flower. Emphasis on the drool.
So if you feel like it, have a crack at drawing my team. Comment on this journal with a link to your drawing, and I'll draw whatever lineup you want. If you want me to draw something really special, you can butter me up by including the horrifying Golbat and the talking Pikachu featured in Episode 6, which you can read at BlimpsAhoy.com.
Oh and if you don't have a Pokemon team and don't want to make one up, I'll draw other requests for sure.
