ok before i got to sleep i gotta post this SUPER old art because i have at least like 2 mutuals who’d really liek it also ignore any really bad typos i don’t feel like grabbing my glasses
Very very outdated now lmao his personality has changed and this this is an improper reflection. Still a fun design though and concept, even if the art sucks a little (oh jeez and if you look closely yo can still see this was before my updated version of Ej where his glasses lenses were crooked on purpose 😭 so glad i changed that)
i had the idea for a while of making an Ej for every media i enjoyed… this was my pokemon ej… I would have done a shark hoodie and note a mantine hoodie but the thing is the only 2 shark pokemon are sharpedo and garchomp and sharpedo looks really stupid and garchomp isn’t even a water type actually so. Ray based pokemon it was (rays are closely related to sharks anyways)
his whole thing was gonna be that he was a pokemon researcher wannabe who had a small team of pokemon helping him out. That’s it that’s as far as i got lol this was more of design fun than story fun (also i just really like Pokemon)
also unrelated but while trying to find this i found Ej’s very first ever reference sheet
Look at how ugly it is. Look at how ugly he was. I’ve improved an INSANE amount since… checks date… APRIL 5 OF LAST YEAR. Guess that means that Ej is almost a year old now lol
