i guess i'm a few hours early today? which i think makes up for posting late Sunday last week. xD i'm still enjoying pokemon X (and Y too) but the obsessive drive to play every moment has indeed dialed back a good bit. i took a day off and started up Lego Batman 2 Friday, since Kyu bought it for my birthday, i just wanted to beat the first one before i started the second.

art-wise, i've been working on pokemon drawings that aren't part of the DRAW THEM ALL challenge. i spent last weekend, and Tuesday at knit night too, working on sketches for the field guide for the story i'm kinda writing for my character-based Pokemon Y play through. i want a sketch to accompany every post, and now i think i've got five done? there's a LONG way to go before that'll be ready for sharing.

i spent tonight cutting 11x15 watercolor paper sheets down to six 4x5 and two 3x5 rectangles each. the 4x5 will be for the DRAW THEM ALL challenge, the 3x5 will be for testing technique so i don't screw up the properly sized paper. xD i screwed up the first sheet and only got 4 4x5 out of it, so out of the whole pad i managed 178 good bits.. there's currently 718 pokemon, meaning i still need to cut down like 3 more 11x15 pads of watercolor paper. from what i've seen online, no one person has ever managed to complete this challenge without recruiting help. i don't have a time frame for completion, it's really just something i think will help me get used to drawing again, something other than fashion sketches.

i spent a few hours today drawing on the backing from the cut-down pad. i drew Rory's favorite evolutionary line because cute fluffy animals make everything better (and maybe i'll get around to shipping off it and some of the other art i've meant to share) the only picture i have is a shot from my cell phone because it's 5am and the apartment is too dark to forgo flash, but the flash glares off the markers i used. my cell phone can technically handle the light level, but fuzzed up the entire top row of the picture. *sigh*just pretend the art is all as sharp as the bottom row.

anyway Rory, this is for you! and eventually it'll make its way into your possession, like in a reasonable proximity and everything! xD
