(for Munday) what art program do you use? how long does it take for you to get asks done?

{{ I use Photoshop CS6, though sometimes I like to sketch or do after effects in Pixelmator.

Total work hours are maybe 3-6 hours depending on complexity. Anything like a cutscene or comic would take longer c: }}

[ask-shiny-sylveon]

{{ The ask box is open again for Munday things and I'll start sending my own Munday questions when I get back to my apartment ;w; Maxwell (& possibly Donovan) will be open for asks tomorrow and I'll also make a post if you'd like him (them) to send you something}}

Maxwell: As for fighting well, I feel as though my talents have been rather wasted. My trainer believes me fit for contests, but I'm no bark and all bite.

[ask-shiny-sylveon]

{{ I legitimately have two different art styles and it confuses the heck outta me sometimes }}

{{I was going to do this for Throwback Thursday but since I was busy I totally forgot. So let's just call this Flashback Friday :0!!

These are the original drawings I did of Maxwell (late 2013 - mid 2014). The top one was the very first concept done about a year ago after I evolved him in my Y game. His personality hasn't changed much, but I wanted to hone my art skills a bit before I opened up the blog. Glad I did too cause his colors were a MESS back then @___@}}

[ask-shiny-sylveon]

???: Ah yes, notice the eyes that say “@*$%#&” to anyone who treads within three feet of him.

Maxwell: My fangs say a whole lot more. Why don’t they have a conversation with your ass, Donovan?

{{ Some two minute warmups I did of Max to practice character consistency and expressions. May turn a few of these into response icons >w> }}

Maxwell's Missing Ribbons: unlocked by askcircusfreaksylveon

{{DATA: Sylveon the Intertwining Pokemon. Eevee evolve into Sylveon when they share a strong love for their trainers or companion. However, the amount of love the Pokemon has determines the length and dexterity of the ribbons when it evolves.

The ribbons are made of cartilage, and Sylveon are able to expand and control the skin like extra appendages. At the minimum level of love required to warrant evolution, the bow's cartilage is hard and the ribbons may be extremely small, short, or not present at all.

As a Sylveon grows, it is still able to develop its ribbons further to the maximum length of approx. 3ft. It's thought that it may be more difficult for a Sylveon that harbors grudges or regrets to develop their ribbons to their fullest potential. Sylveon with underdeveloped ribbons must do more than simply show compassion to their trainers, but to all living creatures to aid in this growth.

In Sylveon culture, a Sylveon with missing ribbons is considered unlucky or a bringer of misfortune, though the truth of the lore is debatable.}}

Mod: Ahh i love your art style so much, it kind of reminds me of disney. Also i love this blog, it just gives me the cheerful feeling everytime when i come to visit it! And now for the question, What if your favourite movie and why?

{{ Thank you so much! My dream is to work for an animation company someday, so I’ve been heavily influenced by western animation ;w;Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my all time fave. An animator from that film inspired me to pursue art as a profession and Maxwell is even modeled off of the charcater she animated in the film (it’s in the brows lol) }}

[ask-shiny-sylveon]

((What's your favorite video game and favorite thing to draw?))

{{ Pokemon Platinum and Skyrim are my faves. I really can’t pick between the two lol 

I like drawing animals in general, as well as skulls and bones and stuff. Really anything that has to do with animal anatomy I enjoy doodling and practicing :> }}

[ask-shiny-sylveon]

(First of all hi hello I love your blog! Secondly, is Maxwell based off of anyone, or a number of people you know in real life?)

{{Thank you, I love your blog as well~

I drew Maxwell’s inspiration from a garbage can fictional characters. I don’t believe I’d befriend someone with his personality irl.}}

[ask-shiny-sylveon]

Puppy paws or toe beans~?

{{….toe beans…. oAo

but don’t tell the puppies I’ve betrayed them}}

[ask-shiny-sylveon]

Maxwell: Though truthfully, my dear, you seem a little green for my diet.
