Minions

Happy New Year, Pokenauts! The only resolution I have made this year is to complete gen 2!


Strangely, my main memory of Chikorita is in Smash Bros Melee when they come out of a pokeball and start shooting razor leaf across the stage...


Bayleef is hands-down my favourite grass-type ever, mainly because Ash's bayleef in the anime was just so adorable.


That beach ball so wasn't built to withstand dinosaur use.

I've been away for quite a long time, so I'm gonna reintroduce myself! Before, I was merlynster, or Neri, but around these here parts I'm known as Nereon. here's to the style of the next 25: soft shading!

Here's Butterfree, munching on a berry! It feels good to get back on these things after a nice refreshing holiday break. :)

I hope you all are doing well. :)

After consuming a large number of delicious apples, Caterpie realized it was time to evolve! However, eating that much fruit so quickly resulted in some quite uncomfortable results....

A friend of mine gave me the idea, and I just had to do it. >.> Poor Metapod!

Hungry little Caterpie! :)

Less of an evolutionary line than the meeting of different species. When this particular Ivysaur evolves, I like to think he'll end up with an enormous saguaro on his back. Other things that should grow out a 'saur's back: coconut palm, pineapple, orchids, venus fly traps. Awkward mash of styles and colors, sorry, but I'm excited to get on to the lizards!

Blastoise has the face of a baby and a cat put together. Seriously, look at him. Maybe add in a hint of hippo and there you go, Blastoise. The moral of this? It's badass, it's awesome, but it's not cute. At all. O.O I went through a lot of different drafts of Blastoise, none of them seeming quite right. But, in the end, two images emerged, and I just had to do them both!

So here, of course, is Blastoise getting ready to hydro pump you straight in the face. Look at that little tongue, is he mocking you!?

But, it seems that he really does not like snow. It might be that freezing thing... I dunno. ;)

Hope you all enjoy. :)

I was paeoniflorum. But to you, esteemed Pokénauts, I am Peonipuff.

Fellow villains and evil-doers!

I wish to move myself, a Fire/Rad Corrupter, from Liberty to Justice or Triumph... but my name has been taken by some no-good heroes on those servers!

I globally contacted the Justice owner, but the Triumph owner gives no /getglobalname return... very odd (so I cannot contact them). Jaunts across the way being free now, I'd like to take that opportunity whilst available, and who knows if I will hear back from the name-holders before the end of the opportunity, so I am most likely due for a rename.

I am the villainous version of Virtue Rad/Rad Defender Burning Skies, a messenger sent to the past to try to get Earth residents to clean up their polluting ways and prevent nuclear destruction of the planet. No one believed me, of those that listened. I was shamed and scorned, mocked and ignored. So I set to scorch the earth myself!

Anyhow.

I implore your assistance in coming up with a new designation for myself. I would like to have some allusion to my past heroic self in this name. My Fire blasts are the same irradiated green-yellow that my Radiation powers are, and this is my appearance.

So I just had an odd team breakdown moment, and I wanted to take the opportunity to poll the comm about the situation that caused it . . .

I was playing an AR/Traps corruptor on Triumph (a redside ghost town at the best of times), and had teamed up with a Dark Brute to run radio missions. They had all gone fine, and we had seemed pretty well in synch with only occasional strategizing required. I should probably mention that I'm used to playing with familiar LJ teammates much of the team, where a basic follow-the-leader, one-group-at-a-time strategy is pretty consistently followed. And even more of the time I'm playing in a duo where we have nearly identical play styles, and can more or less read one another's minds in terms of strategy, so I occasionally err on the side of too little communication when PUGing.

( The saga continues . . . )

Here's Wartortle, my favorite of the Squirtle line. Something about his tail and those ears, I dunno, I like it. :)

Since I'm going to be busy for the next day or two (boyfriend aggro, you all know how that is) I really want to get Blastoise done tonight as well. However, since I have a few matters to take care of, (some other pending art, laundry, should probably feed my pet salamanders...) I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish him before tomorrow. We'll see!

That's enough blathering from me, enjoy. :)
