I know a girl / Who's never tried to settle down / She wears her loneliness just like a crown / But when she smiles all the kings will bow down, down, down

And I know a boy / Who's broken every vow he's made / Who's spoken every cowards phrase / But he can listen like a rainy day / And drown it out

I should have been working on catching up on emmet month things but i desperately needed to draw something self-indulgent.

Adaman as a Skateboarder on my Modern AU because breakdancing wasn't enough floor time for him 😌💎

▽ "Looks like the end of the line. FOR YOU!"

"The island of Pasio is about to fall into chaos as The Subway Bosses have derailed from their virtuous path! With such dangerous assets on their side confiscating everyone's pokémon, will Team Break finally triumph & destroy PML once and for all?"

Our rivals, already exhausted from defending the Pokémon Center earlier, fight valiantly for the sake of their friends. They fight with all they got for the sake of their friends but for naught; they get quickly overrun by the scary and deadly precise twin bosses.

This battle was just another quick stop by their devious tracks; they weren't their first targets, and won't be the last!! The boys clench their fists in frustration as Team Break empties the Pokémon Center, running away with all the precious Poké Balls... To Be Continued!

Trying my hand at rotoscoping Reigen's twirl. I'm really happy with how the coat turned out, so I wanted to post a wip in case I fuck up the rest.

Adaman the Symbol of Time

(An Analysis on the character design of Adaman from Pokemon Legends of Arceus and it’s relation to time and art history.)

A lot of the characters form PLA are similar in terms of design. The characters that do not follow the standard hoodies, tunics, guild jumpsuits ,and kimonos have a lot of interesting art history associated with them.  I love Adaman’s design in particular since he is literally a symbol of time. 

Well…isn’t this obvious since he is the Diamond Clan leader and associated with Dialga? Yes, but there is a lot more subtle aspects to his design that link him with a specific form or Japanese Art.  But let’s first look at the obvious references to Dialga .

In Adaman’s design they use a lot of blues and and silver that you can see shared with Dialga.  They also use the Diamond clan symbol that is shaped to look like Dialga’s chest gem repeatedly in the coat and accessories.  Adaman’s coat/jacket is most likely a nod to the Japanese Haori.  It is even tied with a fancy beaded Himo chord to keep it closed. If you look at the shoes you can see in the concept art that even the bottom of them are supposed to look like Dialga’s feet in their regular form and on the top of the shoe like the legendary Pokemon’s face.  All this information is very interesting and nice seeing how the character and the Pokemon are related even thematically.  

However, it’s crossed your mind (even briefly) that Adaman’s design is not directly one to one with Dialga. He isn’t a Dialga gijinka. There are elements and colors that Adaman uses that the legendary Pokemon does not.  We can brush it off as Adaman having a flair and his importance as a Diamond Clan leader to set him apart. But this is where it gets interesting. His outfit is generally just fashionable and we can choose to look at it like that on a surface level.  But if you look deeper you see a more symbolic meaning.

Adaman is Kintsugi . What is that? Kintsugi is a Japanese art technique that repairs pottery using lacquer and gold dust.  Adaman also has similar gold veins running through his clothing.  For someone who is so “put together” looking, why would you intentionally create jagged and uneven elements other than for aesthetic? This is because for my understanding, this is yet another way the character designer chose to express Adaman’s connection to time.

Kintsugi is a beautiful form of art and philosophy.  The idea is not to hide the cracks and flaws, but to turn it into something more beautiful and strong.  It represents the passage of time and a documentation of the harsh conditions in which we pass through. But ultimately it is a celebration of survival and growth.  It is also a metaphor for embracing your flaws and imperfections.

One translation defines the word  kintsugi as golden “golden seams”. So, Adaman is kind of a symbol of kintsugi pottery and philosophy.  The part about this design that confused me the most was his hair since it’s also not standard colored and is quite unique. But I realized that if we are equating him to pottery, the hair might be colored that way to imitate pottery glazes (the stuff they put on ceramics to give it color.)

On another interesting note, Adaman has lots of signs of past injury. We see this with the bandages on his arms and hands, the cut brow which is a remnant of injury and survival, and then the very intentional jagged gold claw marks on his back.  The back gold lines are sharp looking and contrast with the rest of the designs which is fluid and rounded.  It’s bringing attention to the marks.

We can interpret a lot from this design. It also raises many questions. The jagged golden marks and Adaman’s bandaged arms implies that he has been “damaged” or “broken” in some sense. This could be taken literally or symbolically. We don’t know what happened to him.  Maybe he was attacked by an alpha Pokemon and survived a severe injury that he now incorporates into this aesthetic as a way to show that he was able to come back from that.  Or maybe it’s referring to his leadership as a young Diamond Clan leader and the mistakes he made and had to learn from. 

So in conclusion. From what I can understand , if we were to wrap up all the motifs, Adaman’s design ultimately seems to just represent a passage of time. Breakage and repair are just proof of time passing and represent history and life. And I think that is really cool.  

These are all my speculations and none of it is canon you can disagree if you want. These are just things I have observed and made note of that I believe makes the character far more interesting and fleshed out.  There is a lot of deep and meaningful things you can pull from this if you want to expound further through fanart and fanfic.

Good morning, afternoon or evening!

I LOVE your drawings and your style SO MUCH, it's beautiful and wonderful! 💞💞

Your version of Ingo is intoxicating to me in a good way and I'm a tiny bit obsessed with how it will continue, just a tiny bit, I promise 👀

I have a question, this (beautiful and sexy) one-eyed Ingo, will he go back to Emmet or will he stay in Hisui?

Also, does Ingo meet by time traveller Akari or Rei?

Thanks for everything!!

AhhhH thanks much for the lovely comment!

About Ingo, he does in fact stay in Hisui AND goes back to Emmet! Well… Emmet is the one going back to him, but the thing is that they meet again!

About Akari and Rei, I like to think of them as twins too so, for me, they're also part of the time-traveling disgraceful squad! This leaves poor Kamado and company to deal with the mess they make every time they double battle (which is TOO OFTEN SINCE EMMET IS THERE-)

Uh oh

[chipsncookies]

Pleased to meet you, I’m merely an ordinary person. Why don’t we sit down and have a pleasant chat?

No matter what I do, I bite, bite, bite.

Seeing Lady Sneasler expressing affection, and their caretaker making various sounds they recognized as happiness, the other sneaslets stopped squabbling. Instead, they collectively started trying to lick Ingo’s face as well, eager to copy their mother. Even Powder joined in, peaking over the side of his coat collar to enthusiastically lick his cheek.

The twins with their Pokémon that they received from Clay! Those are their babies now- I don't make the rules.

They both like Ingo and Emmet's hats...will try to perch and burrow even as full grown Pokémon.
