We Stan A Tired Old Cat Man @nanu-worship - Tumblr Blog

Drawing an old man again

A project from last year where I experimented with a Frida Kahlo/Niklas Åkerblad inspired clip studio portrait of Nanu I had drawn. I printed it out in segments on A4 paper, glued it to stretched canvas, covered it in layers of transparent gesso and then painted over the whole thing in oils. The texture is very bad from the underlying A4 paper and no amount of layering and sanding could fix it. I’ve photographed it in lighting that hides this but for anyone wondering, I don’t recommend this method at all.

The painting is not finished and very likely never will be, mostly because it has gotten swallowed up by other projects. The true ending for this is one in which I finish the painting, learn to make silk flowers, and then craft a flower frame of actual silk Nanu gardenias. Then I’d repurpose the closet under the stairs into a shrine for him.

Alas, more consequential matters are demanding my time and attention.

Clip studio drawings of a younger Nanu, based on a headcanon of him working undercover for interpol as a Team Rocket grunt.

We’re trying to move into a home (something I never thought I could say) and we just need to scrounge up a bit more for the down payment. So, I’ve decided to sell some of my prized possessions. If you’re also a weeb that likes collecting manga, give this one a look or please reblog this post. Thank you.

Bid on or buy it here.

Young Nanu :)

Id like to think that he wasnt the most ‘at it’or talented trainer, but he always had time for any pokemon, regardless of type or background. This is what set him apart from others to tapu bulu, who could see he kept dark pokemon regardless of the social stigma around them. Sadly, it was this very facet of his personality that lead to the death of the faller as he sympathized with guzzlord and offered it the chance that would cost them their life.
