Forewarning: Shootie/Trip and Iris are my favourite characters and also, there's some shippy stuff (Wishfulshipping, Contestshipping, some human x Pokemon)! ... also, burning and implied soul-stealing?

Well, it's been a long time, so I've got plenty to share! Lemme know what you think!
Also, some of these are HUGE, so I grouped them under spoilers to force them into a more consistent size. Click to see more artwork!

Loved the moral clash in BW! 22 ... this is also a really old piece, but I still like it.

Even if you don't like Shootie, we're all agreed he was precious as a little kid, right? ;3;

What if, after Shootie takes this picture of the BW! trio, they insist on him being in the next one with them? That was the idea behind this one.

-resurrects old thread for new art!!!-

Burgundy is in a really unfortunate position where she’s one of the only people who knew Cilan before being with Ash made him kinder, but she’s SO over-the-top no one believes her and Cilan’s friends just accept him. ^^;;;

The Georgia nicknaming Beartic one is because I think it’s more realistic if more of these ten year olds nicknamed their Pokemon... but without thinking of their evolved forms (other possible names: Bedtime, cute for a teddy bear-like Cubchoo, threatening for a massive bear).

The Georgia one is based on how I

The first one is inspired by Chibi Maruko-chan’s style. ^^

The second was based on the end of Operation Tempest (when the plants started sprouting after the storm).

The third was celebrating BW!’s anniversary/Trip’s semi-canonical birthday, aha.

Have a little Wishfulshippy comic~
And here’s some headcanons on what the other BW! rivals eat while on a journey, since not everybody had Ash’s luxury of travelling with a five star chef!

The Dawn and Iris one was drawn as a gift for Nicholle (drawnbynic), Georgia and Deerling for Rat2rrj, and Lillie and Iris as a gift for irico on twitter. ;3;

The Let’s Go Eevee is voiced by Iris’ seiyuu, so I drew her as an Eevee with Satochu/Ashachu.

The sleeping pastel Iris is dressed in CocoPPa Play clothes (I had models based on Iris, Trip, Dawn, and Lillie).

Ballerina Lillie was something I drew on my attendance sheet. ^^;;;

The birthday art I drew for Satoshi/Ash on April 22nd! Dent/Cilan made his favourite kurokke (Japanese style croquettes)!

The funny thing is, I drew that ensemble for Dent not knowing cropped poet blouses existed in real life. I was gonna argue they exist in the Pokemon world and that Dent can wear whatever he wants!!!

The last one with Ash in a suit was originally captioned with -marries you but as a friend-.

Dawn's a birthday gift for bugbadge on twitter.

Ash and Trip in swings and winter clothes, holding hands, this was drawn with Ash(Tara!)'s Ash and these lyrics in mind:

Before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me
And you reminded me
That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
What is simple needs protecting

My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner

~

I’m not as clever as I thought I was
I’m not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different
You showed me something pure

I always seemed so certain
But I was really never sure
But you stayed
And you called my name

When others would have walked out on a lousy game


(My Funny Friend and Me by Sting yes, that is The Emperor's New Groove ending song, at least Shootie didn't need to turn into a llama to get off his high Ponyta and start being a better person........)

As a bonus, here's a pretty coloured version by my friend fourdragonstrash/selenedragoon:

123247


And now, have a silly Iris comic I doodled yesterday, transcription of my handwriting here:

123245

Panel 1: Sometimes, I wish I was soft and delicate...
Panel 2: But I’ve got a quick temper and you can’t shut me up if I see something wrong! "Lock him up!"
Panel 3: I’d like to be one of those smart, know-it-all types...(so reliable!)
Panel 4: But I got too many clueless moments... “Even though they’re both dragons?”
Panel 5: ...
Panel 6: Does this make me a (girl) jock?!

Done transcribing! (The "lock him up!" is a reference to the pseudo-court trial for Shamus and the "both dragons" bit is after Charizard and Dragonite's battle in Episode N. : D; )
 
Some old art!

Thank you!!

It was a lot of fun and I’m amazed the sketch worked out so easily, I thought for sure I’d have too few or too many to go all around the circle, but...!
They all fit into place and even the silly eyes I drew the Rockets with (I was thinking of that Ono manga cap where they have huge toony bug-eyes and laugh ~evilly~), it worked just fine... everything came together really fortunately. ;3;

‘You’re still here because you were meant for something better’ is the kind of feeling Mairin is trying to convey to Alain.

More comics! A silly what-if scenario, Shamus at the league, cheering everyone against Ash out of spite in true, spiteful BW! rival fashion.

This was supposed to be a redraw of a screencap, but because I couldn’t view and draw at the same time on my phone, it wound up more like a trace, with elements of my style thrown in. I did end up discovering a very cute detail of Iris’ winter outfit I hadn’t noticed before...!

She ties her scarf into a big bow behind her.

(More art of Lavender, the Wishfulshipping fanchild mailmandragonite and I worked on.)

Lavender and her Swablu escape out the window when they hear her mom (Iris) is cooking today, startling her dad (Cilan), but they don’t stay hidden long in the surrounding forest; Iris reminds her the Pokemon of the forest are old friends of hers.
