hi here's every drawing i've drawn over the past few months but never posted, new to old. more excitingly i updated the OP for this thread!! the archived drawings can be found at the bottom of this post.
i am still
not taking commissions due to numerous life circumstances. all of these drawings were made through, or for, special considerations and occasions.
as always, much love and thanks for all the support.

i just realized the above is my 200th post. i don't know how much longer i'll be on this site, but it's been a great pleasure to grow as an artist and meet so many wonderful people along the way - people that are now great friends, or just show me kindness; you are all so lovely. i'd like to shoutout some very special people that i can't imagine life without. i love you guys lots
GXE rumia Reje. additional thanks to mood swing and absols for being incredible groups to be friends with, and all my other good friends on the site. i wouldn't be here without you guys.
i'm glad that i found the resolve to continue drawing and to revive this thread and preserve it as an archive. i suffer from a lot of imposter syndrome, and on top of that life has just been beating down on me nonstop. it got to a point where i decided i'll stop drawing and delete this thread. i reflected upon it for a long time, and through conversations with close friends and how dearly i hold everyone's support in this thread, i decided that i want to steel my resolve and at least update this thread at least one last time with the above post, and update the OP to accurately showcase my current proudest works. i'm trying to lessen my own expectations while keeping my life situation in mind, and hope to continue drawing without pressuring myself. i feel comfortable enough to re-include my gallery in my signature now. i want to be able to look back on every single work in this thread and say i'm proud of my journey.
fittingly, my latest post was the logo i drew for the team i'm managing in TPP, the Twinleaf Tinkatons, and the season just started. TPP was the first tournament i've ever managed and taken part in, and throughout the following iterations of TPP and BLT, i've met some incredible friends and developed some of the most special bonds i have on smogon. this might be the last tournament i'll manage or be a part of (frankly, BLT X was going to be my last but my beloved friends convinced me to manage TPP), so with all this timing, i just want to say thanks for the past 2.5 years, as most of my time on smogon was spent between this thread and TPP/BLT. i'm nearing the 3 year anniversary of my time on smogon, and i can't say i knew anything about how my time here would go, through all the ups and downs, but i think it's a 3 years well spent. i'm not sure if i'll still be on smogon or if i'll write something come november 13th, so i hope this serves as a good, proper and deserved message to everyone. i’ve still got the TPP season ahead of me, so i’ll be here awhile!
all's that to say, to anyone who's ever left a kind comment, commissioned and/or supported me financially, my players and all my friends: thanks for everything. you guys have done more for me than i can express in words.
