We Are All Pokemon Trainers Discussion

Snowy came out REALLY nice! I like all the gadgets and stuff. Nice to see a new Sarah pic too.=3

And after re-reading the team-leaders introductions, I went with Instinct, since I was already leaning there and apparently their research focus is supposed to have to do with egg hatching. And, well, I named my account after one of my WAAPT breeders

Nice commishes, both. Very pretty.

Finally got Pokemon Go. Yeah!

i got a Vaporeon, a Kabuto and a Dragonair, all this morning.

Not Pokèmon, but I got one of my D&D characters drawn.

Also, Team Heavy FTW.

Wait, wrong game.

That is... one muscle-mountain of a wizard XD Very cool pic... but I do have to inquire how he fights

With his fists. He usually leaves fighting to the barbarian, all his spells are either buffs or utility spells. Thanks to a splatbook feat, his casting stat is strength instead of intelligence.

Ah, cool.

Is that why it looks like he's magicked those weights into existence? Nice

Well Major Problem.

I CAST FIST

That's... actually kind of great.

Lol, isn't that one of your avatars Major Problem?

Yup.

Hey let me know if you ever wanna try my homebrew RPG system, I'm working on a RPG campaign, it's going slow but I want it to be perfect.

So, er, hey. I don't think I'm fully ready to come back here yet (this thread's currently blacklisted on a browser extension I disabled to make this post) but... I'm doing better. What happened Thursday and Friday were the culminations of a VERY stressful week in many aspects of my life, and transitioning into this new one more peaceably I'm starting to calm down and would like to more personally apologize for my behavior, especially to Major, Straw, and Echoing Silence, regardless of drastic differences in opinion and worldview and all that.

Again, while I'm getting better, I'm still in a fragile enough emotional state (which was and still is being exacerbated by chronic lucid anxiety dreams in the morning) I'd rather continue my meta break for the time being, which means I'll have to be informed of anything going on in this thread secondhand. For now, though, some good news and well-wishes:

• Rude Awakening Chapter 2 is live! Comment on it in the second forum here, or if you have an account any of these places here, here, and here.

• Now that that's finished, I'm ready to start prewriting the remainder of Glitchstuck Wars again! I plan on talking to Tangent about it as soon as tonight, and we're close to the finish line - there's some whoppers ahead!

• Additionally, even before that starts getting posted, I want to pick the Incursionplot back up ASAP! I'd rather keep it to the people most heavily involved from now on - so far Tagg, Blitz, Mezzo, and Psyche, kinda, so I'll be I Ming or otherwise messaging all of you to work things out, possibly in a group chat as well. Major, no need to worry, assume Loki got escorted safely out of the forest - all according to kekaiku for Loki.

• Welcome back, Bitters! The new Sarah is lovely. (I have my own Zu-Art commission in progress, but it won't be revealed until a particular point.)

• So glad you liked the Snowy commission, Uill! She dd turn out perfect~ Phazya, Newf, zeal, reminder I've got IO Us on commissions for all three of you.

• Nice snag in the drawthread with your take on Musclewizard, Major. Reminds me of my snags in /v/ and /vp/ drawthreads.

• Good luck with developing your RPG system, ES! Feel free to use us for inspiration.;)

• In other news, have had much luck with Pokemon Go and been racking up lots of EXP and Stardust with silly captures around my hometown I'll have to post pics of later. Also I'm Team Valor.

• Finally, on the recommendation of one of my oldest RL friends, I got myself a Razer Naga gaming mouse with a programmable numpad to let me do more one-handed with my computer. As a result of being a gaming mouse it's also been great for starting to properly get into Overwatch - see my avvy as of this post◊ for which hero I'm having the most fun playing as so far. I'm hoping to set up the mouse for my Steam copies of Undertale and Final Fantasy 7 in the near future.

But that's all for now - I'll be back with another status update or... When I feel I can really come back to this part of the community. Don't stop the training, WAAPT.

I'll remember that.

Good to know you're alright.

Yeah, i remember that IOU, don't worry.

Also, cyberhug for you to stay happy and with us.

Commission update: I pitched a little extra in to get a version with Sarah's previous commission outfit as well

Cool, I can actually see her scar in this one!

So if I wanted to get a commission of some of my characters without begging on a drawthread, which artist would you guys recommend?

Both Sarah commissions are neat!

Here's a good list of commission artists.

For some examples, I've personally gotten ones from AutobotTesla◊, overlordkyogre◊, and AudGreen◊ before.

Aud Green is godly at characters, imo

So, yeah, I'm feeling loads better after last week, the anxiety dreams seem to have made their exit, and I'm feeling better enough to come back to this thread. Good to be back, guys.

And as the person who wrote the comission guide page and the list of comission artists, some of my own tips for Major:

- Autobottestla's the guy you want if you want a comission of an actual Pokemon, they're a specialty of his and he'll gladly do shots of any species, including with a trainer, for relatively cheap.

- Audgreen is AMAZING at combining whatever refrence images you have into something awesome, and will do colored sketches of single characters for cheap, so a good go-to if you just want a human or a non-Pokemon.

- Zu-Art is pricier but is really speedy while still being damn good quality, and is also great at nailing human characters with the right refrences.

- Kynim is fantastic at humanized Pokemon in particular, and while a bit pricey and tending to take a while because she's in    med school   , whatever she produces tends to decidedly be worth both the wait and the money.

- Mustachossom is another great mix of skilled, speedy, and cheap, and has a really nice style.

- Miss-Somnis is a freind of Verax's he's trying to signal boost and does humans and humanoids for relatively cheap, so check her out too!

On a related note: I started making some character doodles myself (won't do some for anyone currently as I don't feel confident enough currently) but I'd like to show some first results

Here, and Here
