    So! The Smogon Mentorship Program is finally live, as of a few moments ago :)

    Here's the identity I did for it:

    I'm thrilled to see this project get off the ground, tbh

    definitely wish something like this was around when I started on the site

    I find WIPs humanizing, so here's a few process shots if you wanted to see:

    Also, lots of signature/avatar stuff:

    That poor Braviary, getting crushed by that giant Darmanitan. D:
    Anyways, your logos are great as always Zrack! Nice clean lines and solid coloring.
    May I ask who that character is on the "Blooser" icon (or is it just an original character)?

    Thank you :) the "cleanness" of the work is because it is vector art. If you've never touched a vector program before, I encourage you to give it a try!

    That would be Blooregard Q. Kazoo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. This is where smogon administrator Bloo (who the logo was for) got his username, haha

    Forgot to say this last time but I'm dumbfounded by this. I love it when people make images out of other images.

    You might have seen this identity-work-in-progress on top of the page, haha.

    Hoping the rest of this design update goes smoothly!

    So you are the one that creates all of the graphics for the various pages on smogon. I made this account today and I've only lurked smogon on occasions but I just want to say how much I appreciate your work. You really know how to capture the spirit of competition that this game brings with this sort of sports logo aesthetic you have going on. (the clean, bold lines and the cel-shading) Thanks to you, the site has a professional polished look whenever someone first clicks on a link and comes face to face with any one of your designs.
