Because art zaniness and I go together like pancakes and syrup! You like it sweet and sticky, don’t you?
You’ve survived another week without going insane! Congratulations! Or, if you’re reading this from a white padded room, congratulations on still having a Wi-Fi connection! See, there’s always something to celebrate no matter how insane life makes you!
Sassy art reviews await and they’re not going to read themselves, so let’s have at it!
Shiny Umbreon, Pokemon (with Speedpaint Video)
“I don’t like Umbreon” said by nobody who ever existed. Umbreon is awesome. Umbreon is one of EIGHT reasons why you need EIGHT Eevees so you can get all those darn Eeveelutions because they’re all darn awesome. And then when you’re still not satisfied with that, Umbreon is why you feel like you need an Eevee mass production facility because even after you’ve made a million Eevees, you still need more.
Anyway, this dude is awesome and you gotta love the dark, mysterious, where-the-heck-did-my-GPS-take-me-now background! The cool glows remind you that while Umbreon is probably terrible at playing hide and go seek in the dark, it just looks too darn cool and you’re willing to accept being a hide and go seek loser.
Pokemon: Vulpix Pokedoll V3 by sugarstitch
ANOTHER ONE. Sugarstitch’s ever-growing cataclysm legion of Vulpix Pokedolls continues to multiply and swarm and the world you once knew is no more. All world powers across the globe have already surrendered and the advent of Vulpix Unification Day has begun. Just surrender and smile. Vulpix doesn’t like it when people don’t smile. Or surrender.
This one, like all the others Sugarstitch has made, is just darn adorable. It’s fluffy, cuddly, and it can easily help you forget there’s zombies outside or you actually had things you wanted to get done today.
D.Va Pokemon style /commission/ by AyyaSAP
Okay, as a Pokémon fan and as someone who even mains D.Va in Overwatch, this is a treat! This skin would be epic awesome on her, but ugh, it would probably never happen because of copyright blah and neh neh killjoy legal blah and this is why everyone doesn’t like lawyers. But, it does give us a nice, sweet brief moment to imagine what it would be like cruising around King’s Row or Watchpoint Gibraltar in a Pika-Mecha. I’d actually almost feel terrible about using the ultimate self-destruct feature! But… *hammers Q anyway.* Almost. Nerf this! >:3
Even if you’re not a crazy Overwatch fan and enjoyably missed absolutely every one of my references just now, this is still an awesome piece of art with tons of detail. Hey, that mecha looks tough to draw! And on top of that, it comes with a nifty and dreamy sakura cherry tree forest background! I’m not sure how the two are related, but hey, you don’t see me caring that much!
Puppy Pokemon by kenket
Growlithe, did you eat my cupcakes again? AND my vanilla Oreos? And you destroyed my sister’s Snuggie? Aww, it’s okay because you’re so darn adorable and even if you started a fire in a crowed movie theater or pressed all the activation buttons on Russia’s entire nuclear arsenal, who could ever be angry with you!?
This dude is cute and it’s a fun, lovable, simple drawing, but it’s darn cute. Cute all over. Have you hugged your Growlithe today? Well, have you!? We’re waiting!
Pokemon Buttons (Hoenn set) by General-Mudkip
Remember back in Hoenn when you had to save Professor Birch from the Poochyena and you were thinking more about “Wow, which one of these cool starters should I pick” and less about “Holy crap, Professor Birch is under attack! I need to save him! Pick anything, there’s no time to lose!” These buttons capture those fond memories where we cared more about these admirable starters and less about the welfare of another human. And now that you can actually buy them in button form, you can attach them to your backpack, your jacket, your hat, your underwear, or wherever!
Welp, that’s all for this week, folks! I’m Neo Emolga, signing off, sipping my pina colada, putting on my shades, and just dealing with it. See you next time!
