In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Thurs 01/15/0226 - Slakoth One of our cats' names is Sloth; he's a good cat. While petting him, had the thought "I wonder if there is a Sloth pokemon" - Slakoth is what first came up which like tracks in terms of both name and design...but it's...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Weds 01/14/2026 - Dwebble I gotta admit, it feels pretty fucking wild to be posting about video game monsters when like, real world monsters1 are out there kidnapping people off the streets. BUT! There are things I can do and control and I'm very...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Tues 01/13/2026 - Joltik One of the first things I saw today online was this post from Sol that made me openly guffaw so I let him pick today's pokemon - and I got to learn something! I'd never seen this guy before, it's super cute. Plus I don't...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Mon 01/12/2026 - Mega Abomasnow I know, I know I said I was gonna focus on primary evolutions and not mega or gigantimax etc, but I got a request for Abomasnow from Megan (hire them for your composing needs if you're not hiring me) who specifically...
Catching up on editing; here is the Wolf Moon from last week I didn't think I'd get any actual shots because it was partially cloudy but also the point of highest visibility it was obscured by trees; less than ten minutes later though: Sometimes it works out like that, y'know? moon photography
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Sun 01/11/2026 - Deoxys I know I said we'd be back to RNG for today but I got a special request for Deoxys from Noé and given the "just kiss already" ongoing fights between Deoxys and Rayquaza (yesterday's entry) it felt fitting. One more locked in...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop GDQ Week is coming to a close! Make sure to watch tonight at roughly 9:20pm Eastern for adef's run of Pokemon Emerald for the Gameboy Advance; he's going to beat the game in 2 and a half hours with the event dictating which pokemon will be his...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Thurs 01/08/2026 - Gardevoir I put out calls yesterday for our remaining two gen 3 icons for this week's AGDQ coverage (the event's finale game Saturday night will be Pokemon Emerald) and Gardevoir was first! Tomorrow's (a secret) is alreayd locked...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Weds 01/07/2026 - Treecko AGDQ week continues! Here's our final starter from Gen 3, and what a little guy it is! Starting as an unassuming gecko, evolving into a 'feathered raptor but the feathers are leaves' and then finally into a stoned-looking...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Tues 01/06/2026 - Torchic Continuing our Awesome Games Done Quick coverage this week, here's the next Gen 3 starter; the cute fire chocobo chick whose evolutionary path is probably one of the most regrettable of any starter. I could be wrong! I'm...
