🌾Balladree Contest🌾 I love contests now; it takes me back to the old Deviantart days and it's a great way to not get rusty when it comes to designing~!! This is my entry for @frenchs_fakemon Balladree Contest; designing a Fakemon based on Irish/ Celtic folklore. I went for a design inspired by Balor and the Fomorians; mythical giants who wreaked havoc on Ireland. With them coming from under the sea, Foamore getting cooled by seafoam felt like an interesting choice. Balebeacon has some lighthouse inspiration; both are huge in size, tower over you and their light should be heeded as a warning. They are comparable to the Volcarona line; hard to find, takes a bit to level them up, but the training pays off. Coming up with a cry for them was the hardest part -w-;;

🌟New Charms~!!🌟 Just ordered these yesterday for Abunai which is already in a month .w.!! Chandelure was on my list for a bit, but its arms were a challenge, Frosmoth was made to match Volcarona and the Oshawott is from an ancient sketch~!! Also restocking the gacha charms, because that project is too much fun to let run dry +w+!! More Pokemon is coming, and more Deltarune as well uwu~!! So many plans, so little time .w.;;

(Also Shiny Versions~!!)

✒️Zozahan Sentret & Furret✒️ Like most of the people I know; I'm delighted by Witch Hat Atelier~!! The worldbuilding, magic system and stunning art style is a huge source of inspiration. I also love the Brushbuddies/ Brushbugs a lot; they are so extremely expressive eventhough their design is rather simple. I've been toying with this (very un-inspired) idea for a while; a Brushbuddy version of the Sentret line. Furret matches the overall body-plan best, but I also love how the Sentret came out~!! I added circular markings around their beady eyes to mimic the large eyes of the original critter. Whelp; finally got this out of my system.

🌟HDCC Merch Drop~!!🌟 Bugs, like just a whole lot of bugs~!! Both buttons, and my new card to trade~!! I forgot to post these sooner, whoops -w-;;

🍎Applin' Family🍎 A new print of the "Ppl's"~!! A last minute addition for the Dutch Comic Con Line-up, and the freebie sticker I made a bit ago~!! I love this line so much, especially Appletun, ofcourse~!! For my (hypothetical) Fakemon Region I already have 2 extra evo's planned nyehehehe~!!

🌟Pokémon Buttons~!!🌟 A couple of these were already introduced at CCH a couple of weeks ago, but I decided to make it a batch of assorted Ghost-types~!! Shuppet and Haunter complete their respective evolutionary lines, and Sandygast got requested (and I find it incredibly funny, even after all these years). Greavard is a personal fave from Paldea; it's fur is just really fun to draw~!!

💖The big 10~!!💖 I've been in a relationship with this big guy for 10 years today, and I'm making it everybodies problem~!! @onno_onno_onno is the best partner I could wish for, so it was time for a lil family portrait, together with Monchou~!!

✨ Early Encounters Gacha✨ I wanted to do a gacha, and now we're here~!! Wild Encounters are a great way to randomize your journey, and let's say that this farm route has alot of potential encounters~!! 24 options, with the possibility for a re-pull and autobuys .w.!! I think Espurr and Sewaddle are my faves~!! Come start your Pokemon Journey with a new buddy this weekend at Comic Con Holland~!! (This thing was such a hit with the crowd, like, omg, 'foaming at the mouth' I got SO many compliments .w.;;)

🪹'Theodora Brevitti'🪹 Still not working on the comic ^^;; But I am exploring the designs of the characters finally~!! The comics style will be alot more simplified, but I missed doing illustrations like these (remember the random Dnd character art back in 2022?). I love how everything about her silhoutte is big and poofy~!! Also her lil clogs are a personal fave~

[studiovlinderdas]

✨Acrylic Charms!!✨ CCH is gonna have alot of these; working on a different post/ display for the sneakpeak I put on my stories a bit ago. I love the Gengar and Mega Froslass prints so much that I decided to turn the Gengar sticker (and with some work, the Froslass print) into acrylic charms as well~!! Testing if this is a style/ format I wanna make more charms in, so it's a limited stock .w.!!

🌟Pokémon Buttons~!!🌟

I forgot to post alot of buttons, of which a couple of remakes. Really liked to draw some of my favorite grass-types~!! Eventhough I'm know mostly known as the wacky Bug-type expert in my local Convention Circuit -w-;;

⚔️"Forest Grotto"⚔️ Been a while~!! Wanted to show-off the 2 prints I made for the Dungeon Pals stamprally I did last HMIA. A big thanks again to @pachiriri @mez.arts @seapanda.mako and @marinkiart for being such a cool group to work with ;w;!! The side-view map is my fave, I think, though I'm also very proud of the Monster table~!!

[studiovlinderdas]

📺"It's TV Time!"📺 New mug time~!! This one was originally one of the wooden standees introduced at HDCC last November. But I wanted to make it available as a mug also~!! I should think about making acrylic standees of these as well; love the woodwork, but it is rather costly and time consuming. Anyway, on to preparations for Heroes Made in Asia next weekend~!!

[studiovlinderdas]

🪲Hollow Knight: Buttons🪲 After the warm reception of my Silksong buttons, I wanted to go back to the basics, with some Hollow Knight ones~!! The Knight was an absolute must, and the Grubs are a personal fave (though I maybe should've made a Flea as well), and finally Grimm (though I had to completely redo it because of my laptop crashing -w-;; just when I was ready to save...) They'll be introduced the 21st and 22nd at Heroes Made in Asia~!!

🍃🌊Winds and Waves🌊🍃 Of course I had to make buttons~!! Took a bit longer, but I haven't made buttons in a while -w-;; With this, I only have to revamp the Paldea Starter buttons, and then everything is in my most recent, textured style for buttons~!! I'm picking Browt; Grass-starters will forever be my faves~!!

💐Happy Pokemon Day!!💐 30 years of my favorite franchise~!! Talk about 'Brand Loyalty' ^^;; In the past few weeks, I've seen the question of "What's your favorite?" a couple of times. I wanted to answer it with some new art of my first starter; Torterra. He is big, chonky, is covered in plants, and fit my special interests perfectly when I was 10, and started Pokemon Pearl. To this point, it's still my fave, though y'all know Appletun is a close second~

I also wanted to add some previous Pokemon Day art, because I love seeing my style "evolve"~!! Have a great Pokemon Day, y'all~!! And to many more~!! I don't think I'll ever stop making fanart/ fakemon as well .w.~!!

🍎APPLIN BOOM!🍎 My entry for @faekmon 's #babyboomchallenge ~!! Totally unexpected; I picked Applin, as per usual. Torterra is gonna get the spotlight for Pokemonday, so my boys can share the spotlight. The Baby Boom mechanic functions as a Mega Evolution for first-stage, small Pokemon, giving the lil guys a moment in the spotlight as well. Applin combines elements from all its possible evolutions, so there was alot to incorporate~!! I've seen alot of great entries, happy to join the challenge~!!
