Who is Koumashiki?

Hi there! I'm Koumashiki, but you can just refer me as Shiki (sometimes people call me Kou too). I'm just a normal Vietnamese high school student who hates math and draws as a hobby, though also dreams to become a professional illustrator. I guess it should take a long time, because I still cannot draw environment very well...

Oh, my favourite Pokémon game must be Sapphire/Emerald, because nostalgia is a thing.

Smogon Biography

My first Pokémon game was Sapphire, though I played it when generation IV has already been there for a while, and never got into Pokémon that much. A long time later, around late 2014, I started to gain interest in Pokémon, partly because there's this guy in my class has a 3DS with Pokémon Y, and I thought "wow the new Pokémon game looks cool". The next year, I got a 3DS as a birthday gift, and eventually knew of Smogon thanks to having nothing left to do with Alpha Sapphire's postgame.

I lurked Smogon for quite a few months, before finally registered a forum account in November, going with the name Scarlet Tea. During the M-Sableye/Shadow Tag suspect test, I had an RMT thread, which receive some positive feedbacks, so I assume it was a decent team. I felt flattered, and the urge to become a skilled competitive player becomes greater… or so I thought... Exams got me, I had to quit playing for a month, and when I came back, I completely lost interest in battling.

During that same time, I also had an art thread opened, and was quickly to become an approved artist (thanks Bummer!). After losing interest in battling, I found that Smogon needs art contributors, and I really enjoyed drawing Pokémon, so why not become a contributor instead? That's what kept me around Smogon until today.

I still spend time to stalk the OU and UU forum and catching up with some news. Of all honesty, I like how Smogon metagames work, I just couldn't push myself to do serious battling. I might be able to do that when generation VII comes... Maybe...

Art Preferences

I'm mostly a digital artist, and my best pal in my drawing adventure is this tiny Wacom Intuos CTH-480. As of the time this was written, I've been rocking with this pal for over one and a half year! The main program I'm using is Clip Studio Paint, which is also a super awesome program! (and there are sales often too)
