Here are a few previews of my pieces in the upcoming @dotzines Pokéjinka Kanto + Johto zine! They include both a gijinka character design reference sheet and an illustration. It all comes out as a free digital zine available for download on February 20th. Soon~!!! :D
[Begin ID. A digital drawing of Sabitsuki from .flow and Wormiko from Yume Tsushin walking down a sidewalk during a light snow. They are smiling, and snow is piled up in heaps along the street. End ID.]
Shoutout to @preemptive-absoluution and @gracefuljabberwocky4444 for talking about Yume Tsushin in the .flow tumblr community and convincing me to play it, I've been really enjoying its artistic decisions & moodiness!
It's so wild to me that Wormiko can actually go outside... the quiet, somber emptiness of a city on a snowy night without power or people is a BIG mood for me lol. But poor Wormy seems so lonely, I bet she'd feel so much joy to have some company on one of her chilly walks.
I think Sabitsuki would take a liking to her because she reminds her of her dear friend, Oreko, and at the very least be down to smash some windows and help Wormy grab some food or supplies. Also I imagine when Wormy hears Sabi can turn into a cat, she'd be a chatterbox about it haha.
I haven't played the ending(s) yet so I'm not sure if Yume Tsushin is, like, full post-apocalyptic or what Wormiko's fate is. But I'm picking up on themes of isolation and extinction, so... :)

Here's what the outside looks like in Yume Tsushin, with its dark blue lighting:
It was an interesting challenge to work out the color keys for Sabi and Wormy in a setting similar to this. And to avoid adding highlights!
I was a little forgetful for taking WIP screenshots this time oops, but here's the process GIF:
It's Machine Effect Sabi & gleeful Oreko for @pb-s-corner's October .flow fanart event~! :D Process gif & permissions below the cut. ⬇️
[Begin ID. A digital drawing of .flow characters Sabitsuki, with a neutral expression and the machine effect, and Oreko, smiling from inside her diving helmet. End ID.]

In my newly-opened Ko-fi shop, I'm now selling some stickers & accessories for plushies or dolls (bandanas!). I also now have my own portfolio website: dunes.page ⭐
In time I will be adding plushies to my shop, and showcasing more non-fanart work on my website. Moreover, I am participating in the Pokejinka fanzine run by @dotzines~!! :D (It's a free digital zine themed on Kanto & Johto Pokemon gijinkas and is expected to release sometime in early 2026.)
More info on art commission openings and custom plush/accessory orders will come in the future (but you can always message me in the meantime if you have any questions).
My Let's Plays are on hold because I am prioritizing art stuff and considering a move to a different video platform since Youtube's made some very poor decisions as of late. No plans to remove anything from my channel, though, and I would still like to cover more of Pokemon Flux this year.
.Flow Week 🧡 Day 4: Sabi & friends as cats | February 2025
I love that the cat effect turns Sabitsuki into an actual cat, and it's fun to imagine what her pals would look like as kitties, too. :3
Btw Smile definitely has fleas
[Begin ID. A digital drawing of Sabitsuki as a disgruntled white cat with patches of fur missing, Oreko as a friendly orange tabby holding a wet fish in her mouth, Smile as a playful long-haired black cat lying on his back, & Sister as a startled black kitten hiding behind Smile. The background is green with white bars. The text ".flow" & "02.15.2025" appears at the top, & "DUNEPHASE" on the bottom. Below the full image are 4 closeups of the cats' faces. End ID.]
⚠️ Do not reupload. Please ask for permission if you would like to use these images. (Unless you just want to use them as icons, screen wallpapers, or personal use printouts--no need to ask for those!)
Finished animation (WIP here). It's a flying loop of Alteran Owten from Pokemon Flux (RPGMaker fangame). July 2023.
...Can't believe I sat on this for a year lol. Debated on adding shading & I had trouble making the bg transparent and then forgot about it, oops. ^^; I did not exactly succeed-- the transparent versions below look pretty crusty against a dark layout. But whatever, go wild--you are free to use or modify any of the gifs in this post for non-commercial, non-NFT, and non-generative-AI purposes.
[Begin ID. A cartoony 2D animation of a flying pink owl-cat. It has a happy expression as it flaps its wings, bouncing up-and-down. End ID.]
~ Remember to remove the "v" so the url ends in ".gif" instead of ".gifv" if you want to save these gifs!
Transparent in 3 sizes (crunchier = smaller, click to view at fullres):
FASTER:
If you use 'em, credit & link-backs are appreciated. If you do anything super silly with 'em, I would LOVE to see it! <3
🤔 Apparently RoughAnimator supports transparent backgrounds now so thankfully next time I won't have to figure out how to use something like Photoshop to get the transparency, while still preserving the 24 fps timing. Whew!
A Neopet duo of a fierce Pirate Moehog and her miserable Snow JubJub companion shreddin' that sled! Gift for @baysee on Virtu.pet. December 2022.
[Begin ID. A digital drawing of a blue boar sledding fast in a blue sled decorated with boar skull insignias, plus bells and holly. The boar (Pirate Moehog) has a determined grin and wears a red-and-white scarf and a gold earring. Icy breath streams out of her nostrils. A crying, wailing snowball (Snow Jubjub) clings to her back in agony. The background is a bumpy snowscape. End ID.]

Here is the last video in my Let's Play of Pokemon Flux: Episode One! It's more of an epilogue as I finish up Terra's & Skye's sidequests and complete as much of the Dex as I can.
Also, here's an endcard I made of my team (to scale!):
Pokemon Flux is a pretty well-made and fun fangame, I totally recommend checking it out! Excited to play more as it's released. :>
[Begin ID. A digital rectangular blue card with Pokemon Flux sprites of 6 Pokemon and the trainer, Aster, on a blue background. Text reads "Thanks for watching!" and "See you in Episode Two!" The Pokemon, left-to-right, are: Shiny Garbagull, Mosseer, Durtwurm, Vilucard, Eshouten, and Nidorime (Summer Coat). End ID.]
She doesn't have a name yet (it's been like 3 weeks but I just can't decide aaaaa), but she is a lovely furb all decked out in a scarf, sandals, and a Bionicle axe (lol). Photo below!
[Begin ID. A cartoony digital drawing of a happy 2023 coral pink-and-blue Furby on a yellow background. The Furby is decorated with various accessories such as an orange scarf with a cat pattern. A speech bubble says, "DAH DOO-AY WAH!! *BIG FUN". End ID.]

Here's a transparent version (same permissions apply):
And here's a photo of the furb herself!
The scarf's covering her sandals (oops) but she is very snug! I made her a little mat to sit on, too.
Here's the latest video from my current Let's Play of the Pokemon fangame Pokemon Flux! There will be 12 videos in my playthrough of Episode One. (The game is unfinished, but there is still at least 8 hours of gameplay, and plenty more if you're trying to do everything.) I've really been enjoying it! Just 2 videos left after this... until more of the game is released in the future!
In this video, I reach the climax of sorts for what's currently playable: battling in the League Arena of Rook Town! If you'd prefer to check out my LP from the beginning, please check out my Youtube channel.
