Fairy has always had a bit of a Jester vibe and so Ive always drawn them in Jester fits here and there.

Never figured out a solid fit but I may just be onto cracking that finally!

Fairy is not a jester on main but they would be type to pop up in the background of various worlds and just be in different fits to try (and fail) to blend in.

Monkie…

Some main forms for JV one of my sonas. They also turn into other monsters but its just so fun to draw monkey mode.

[thefairygodmonster]

Oof this turned into a bigger art dump than intended buut I feel like there is a lot to share here thats all connected so it felt right to put it all together.

If youve been around a reaaaaally long time then maybe some of these guys will look familiar. I wouldnt call this stuff a revamp so much as an evolution? Idk. Its interesting because some characters will not be at the forefront of my mind for a while and yet when they do come back they have grown with me. I think thats something special.

Anyways some explanation and introductions below.

Lets start with our smaller blue rabbit friend, Shifter (clever name I know..) Shifter has been a persona of mine for oooh maybe a decade now. I think they kinda switched out with pink pooka after college but now that pink is part of a project I think Shifter has made their way back and with some growth.

They were definitely more childish when I first made them, Im sure you can tell the years have changed that. Not a bad thing, theyve kept their whimsy but they definitely have a little more sharp edges. I think thats important because so many of my personas would have those pointed edges get sanded down because I was so desperate to be liked that Id keep simplifying them into nothing more than a friendly face.

Drawing Shifter interacting with the Mommot brothers has definitely helped keep that from happening again. Its funny how important it is to keep interacting with my ocs to keep myself grounded. Posting art online had its consequences with trying to appease the audience but my characters have sort of stepped in to keep the focus on them and to stop being a people pleaser.

The Mommot bros are just one example of that. These two are sorta special as they originated in a dream. Theyve always been sorta antagonist-friends. Mombo and Motto are basically artificially or magically constructed beings meant to be hitmen. Theyve always eventually grew enough to leave their creator and live their own lives. However the struggle for them is trying to imagine what that life is without their jobs.

While the two definitely resemble rabbits to a degree theyre technically just…their own thing. And while they wont admit it, its pretty lonely. Thus they tend to gravitate to others that resemble them, aka, Shifter and start a rather involuntary friendship thats lasted for years now.

Mombo is the more high energy of the brothers and feels like hes unhinged in everything he does. Motto is much calmer and the one to think twice about things before carrying it out.

I think Ill stop there for now though and share extra stuff at a later time.

Some pokemon sketchbook pages from over the past month. Pokemon is just one of those things I go to when Im feeling blocked.

Was having silly doodles of the new starters in a few of these.

But other than that Ive been revisiting old poke-faves like ampharos and lucario. Theres so many pokemon that I really like but only so much time to draw them all. But lucario and ampha both have a special place in my heart and were team members in my original runs of their respective games.

[thefairygodmonster]

If you're not big on pokemon ocs then I got a lot of silly doodles of JUST pokemon here. I think some of these were experimenting with sona ideas but ultimately I think these just function as fun pokemon idas as well.

I think designing pokemon ocs is such a fun challenge. It feels like walking the edge of a knife, having something that feels casual but you have 1 or 2 design quirks that really make a character POP! Sometimes its hair, an accessory, a facial feature etc etc. But finding that balance of not going too over the top but also not having them look like a bg character is a problem I love solving.

[thefairygodmonster]

Ive been attempting to draw Fairy as a pokemon trainer for years but I think I just never really sat down to think about it and actually try to translate them. I kept moreso trying to get a 1-1 and I think that threw me off quite a bit.

Im pretty happy with how these all came out. If you'd like to know more about them as a trainer, info below the 'read more' !

In the pokemon world I have their name as Faeryn from Ballonlea, Galar (because of course) and they are a psychic trainer class that operates as a type of pokemon therapist.

While I feel like Fairy could hold their own in battle, Fairy has never been particularly fond of conflicts and has moreso been tied to emotional soothing and healing. That reminded me of games where there would be a massage npc that could level up your friendship and tbh I always loved that concept and the idea in general of pokemon in jobs other than battling.

So I finally ended up on Faeryn being a psychic with abilities to read pokemon's thoughts/emotions which they use to treat their patients. Their pokemon kinda match the same vibe so I had their main pokemon partner be indeedee alongside others like meowstic, galarian rapidash, and uuuh, damn, I gotta remember the rest later.

If I remember correctly, I gave them a lopunny because...they kinda look like one and also, I feel like lopunny's whole 'Im chilling till you piss me off then I'll crush you' thing kinda fit Faeryn's attitude. They very much make an active decision to be kind and empathic but have little patience for those that would take advantage of it.

Anyways, if you're here, thanks for reading and enjoying my self indulgent pokemon stuff!

Well hello.

Its been some time but I have been thinking of giving tumblr another try…again.

Mainly because Ive been missing long form writing and sharing thoughts about characters along with the art. I dont care for the short form posts for that sort of thing.

Decided to come back with some work of Fairy! Ive been wanting to really do some solid ideas for Fairy. A lot of their design has changed and probably will continue to do so over the years but I had some fun design quirks I felt like putting down!

I hope to share more soon, theres a lot I dont put on other accounts because the vibe just isnt there for sharing ocs.

[wolfsteax]

their question was foreign, I could not understand

[thefairygodmonster]

Been wanting to delve into dreamons again but not necessarily on twitter so maybe this tumblr will have a use again.

Lots of Fairy fits. Their main fit has always been a bit difficult for me to design. It had to be something simple but striking. For them I wanted something you could identify them with. Like Mario with his overalls, Sonic with his shoes, Chopper with his hat. It had to be something a lil surreal though. A little otherworldly. I dont know if Ive quite nailed it but I feel like Im definitely closer each time.

Fairy does wear a lot of different fits though and being genderfluid I feel like theyd try to rock a lot of different styles

[parakeet]

now for the ultimate test. go to this website. set it to randomly generate ONE pokemon. all generations. all types. whatever it generates? thats you as a pokemon forever. what you get is what you get. NO RE ROLLING. now. who are you? i got goomy :^)

[thefairygodmonster]

Oh, heyoo there ^^ Just wanted to say I LOVE the wackiness of your style!! It's so dang expressive and toony, while feeling very unique! I'm personally fond of how you deal with the squash and stretch with your doodles, it's so much fun- Keep up the amazing work!!

OH! Thank you so much!! It makes me happy to hear and again I appreciate all the very kind words <3

resources to help palestinians living in gaza who will undoubtably be faced with unimaginable brutality in the coming days

- baitulmaal.org

- gaza mutual aid collective (pay/pal: AGEDKNAFEH)

not affiliated with aid but your local community may be doing a solidarity protest tomorrow listed here

[captainsaltymuyfancy]

Anera is one of the few orgs able to work directly in Gaza, delivering food, blood, and medical supplies, in addition to their regular activities in economic and agricultural sustainability and sovereignty. I’ve worked with them before and highly recommend.

PCRF also works in Gaza, their HQ was bombed in a previous attack. They do good work, especially with kids.

[bombplot-foiled-deactivated2025]

wanted to also add a crowdfund for a mother of two sick children in gaza. her friend is also accepting donations for her through her p*ypal (ayaghanameh)

and gaza mutual aid is now currently overwhelmed with all the donations they received and have closed their inbox. thank you everyone who donated!

[bombplot-foiled-deactivated2025]

doctors without borders is treating patients in gaza right now and accepts donations. they’ve reported all hospitals are currently overwhelmed from injuries
