Ohh Look! A wild Yveltal has appeared!

First things first: Yes, I am drawing, and I'll upload something soon!

Back on topic:

How amazing these two devices are!!

Two days ago, I bought Soul Silver, which comes with the Pokewalker.
So what does the Pokewalker, and Dream Radar have in common?

Both can give you the chance to begin your Pkmn game like never before: With a great 6 Pokemon Team from the go! Quite fun, in my opinion.

For example, these are the teams I prepared to begin playing each game:

-Soul Silver (Team built with the Pokewalker)

Totodile -Lvl 8
Murkrow -Lvl 11
Magby -Lvl 9
Gastly -Lvl 10
Elekid -Lvl 11
Dratini -Lvl 10

-White 2 (Team built with the Dream Radar)

Thundurus-T -Lvl 5
Staryu -Lvl 5 (I'll be leaving Oshawott for now)
Beldum -lvl 5
Riolu -Lvl 5
Landorus-T (Coming soon!)
-Vacant-

Plus, I will try to capture Lugia with the Dream Radar (By having the SS cartridge inserted on the 3DS) and send it to my Black 2 Cartridge.(For that, I have to capture Landorus-T first.)

...

I seriously hope that "Pokemon Y" lets you transfer your Pokemon from the very beginning.
If so, this is the Team I would build to begin the game:

Fennekin
Tornadus-T (I'll be training Thundurus-T and Landorus-T on White 2)
Dratini or Axew.
Elekid or Magnemite.
Staryu
Riolu or Beldum.

Hey! Its much more fun to begin with these, instead of Rattata or Pidgey, right?


So, yeah, I just wanted to point out how amazing these two devices are, and if you can get them and build a great starting team for your game,then do so!
See you soon!

Yes, I finally have it in my hands!
I'm very impressed with the screen size. Plus, its very confortable! And the 3D effect is great! (As long as you dont move your head an inch, of course XD)

If you feel like adding me, here's my friend code: 0877-0371-5007
Im not using it right now, though. Im charging up the battery.

So, I managed to get Pokemon White 2 at a very low price. "Low price" in Argentina, however, doesn't mean "low price" in USA

Lets just say that, compared to the price of the game, on a retail store in Argentina (More or less U$100) I got it brand new and unopened, for U$61, which is,at least, closer to the U$30 to U$35 that costs in the USA ... Still, OUCH

Now, here's the first issue:

Since I DONT want to begin with the sequel right away,without having played the first game, and because im out of spare cash (Console + Game), I've decided to hop on the dark side of the force, for once, and...I...*ahem*
...
Im playing Pokemon Black 1, on an emulator, in my PC....Um...yeah...
...
[link]

Aww C'mon guys! I know what you're thinking! But Its like wanting to watch the entire Matrix Trilogy, starting with "Matrix Revolutions"!
I simply have no money left to afford a legal copy of Black,and I want to play my brand new cartridge right away, so Im kinda rushing it.

Why I bought White 2 instead of White 1?
First, the low price.
Second,I wasn't sure If I would be able to transfer my Pokemon to Pokemon Y/X, from White 1, so just in case, I bought the sequel right away.

Oh, by the way , looking for wild Pokemon to build a team...[link]

SHINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! MY SECOND SHINY EVERRRRR!!

(First one was a Zubat from Pokemon Gold in my Gameboy Color, years ago)

Now I hope I'll be able to transfer this guy to my White 2 cartridge somehow! (So far, I dont know how to connect to Wifi with this emulator)

In another news:

Im leaving for a mini-vacation trip tomorrow, and Im not coming back till Wednesday. Im not taking my 3DS though. Im leaving it at home. Too risky.

BUT im taking my HP TX2500 notebook with me though!
And since this notebook allows me to draw directly on the screen, I hope to doodle up something on Photoshop, worth to be uploaded here.

For example, I was thinking of doing a quite interesting fusion of two well-known Pokemon.  

*Hint: Both have cannons. (Cmon! its easy to guess! )

See you around!

I feel like sketching something quick on paper now...

Like a fusion of Yveltal and Xerneas, or even the legendary for "Pokemon Z"

...

*Starts with concepts for the legendary*
*Speaks to himself*

Z shaped...Z shaped... A salamander? A Komodo Dragon perhaps? Some sort of huge lizard...

And maybe it could represent Limbo, or somewhere in between life and death...
(Based on the rumors that Xerneas and Yveltal represent Life and Death)

Comes back from the office.

Looks at this [link]

OMG OMG OMG 6TH GEN!!!

Just so you know, I've never played Black and white, or Black and White 2, because I dont own a DS anymore.
My passion for the games died while playing Diamond/Pearl (And never finished those either!) ,because I simply got tired of it. Could this new gen be the one that brings back my love for the franchise?

What does it need to have for me to gain interest back?

Two very basic,but essential things:

> More sleek, powerful, C-L-E-V-E-R looking Pkmn designs, and less useless round boring fluffy cheap weak bland horrible excuses of a Pkmn
> A more serious,well written,and less childish story (I think black and white had a more serious story than previous generations?. Correct me if im wrong.)

Dont get me wrong.I like cute looking creatures...
but I dont enjoy when more than 50% of the batch of a generation look like bland, uninteresting fillers! ( Icecream cone anyone?...JESUS CHRIST!) Please Nintendo! I grew up with these games! Grow up with ME! EVOLVE ALONG WITH THE PLAYERS!
...
Also, something kinda "died" inside me, and I bet some of you had a similar feeling as well, while looking at the trailer.

Can you guess what it is?

Yes...No more pixelated Pokemon. That was a shocker right there.

Is that a bad thing?

...

HELL NO!! IM REALLY EXCITED!!

It IS one of the main reasons of why I want to play this!
( I wonder how will Mewtwo, Darkrai or Arceus Look like in this game...Oh boy Oh boy!)

BUT!

At the same time I remember all those guys who still do pixel fusions and such, and I feel sorry for them. I inmediately got reminded that it was the way I started to do pkmn related art stuff.
This later "evolved" into the pictures I upload here on Deviantart

It will be interesting though, to see how the fans of the game will do the pixelated versions for themselves. I bet someone will try to do all of them for him/herself.

Oh Well...
And here I thought I would never have to buy a 3DS...Now I have an excuse to do so


PS: My started will DEFINITELY be Fennekin ... And the 1st Gym leader will be either Water or Rock user. Such is my luck.

PS 2: For once, I'll try my best to NOT search for the new Pokemon designs till I buy,play,and finish the game. THEN I'll take a look.
I'll jump the shark, and buy the game anyway. Wanna get surprised along the road, while playing it. The surprise factor is what truly makes it interesting for me.

So I've officially started the Victini Clone Picture.
Let's just say he's staring from above, with his arms crossed, in a defiant pose.

Perhaps I could add Victini defeated on the floor?

And here's a few names I have in mind for it:
(All of this have a "two" at the end, but in other languages)

Victos
Victzwei
Victroa
Victous
Victsvay
Victidous
Victiduos
Victidox
Viskay
Vishkay

Which one you like the most?
Or maybe you have a suggestion?

(Note: Ill not be using Victideux or Victideus,Since I'll be renaming Jiratwo as Jiradeus)

EDIT: Im gonna rename CeleB as well. I'll think a new name tomorrow.

Here's to a brand new year for all of you! *raises wine cup*

Not a good start, though: I can't find my wallet.

...

My spider senses tell me that it's spinning on the washing-machine right now Gotta take a look.

Psst...Hey.

Dont tell my other account. It might get jealous:

Two new clones (Maaaaaybe three, if we count Meloetta...we'll see.)
Arceus Genesis form pic.
A couple of FUSEmons.

...

That's all for now.

EDIT: For a teaser, go to My Scrapbook

Well,its been nice working on pkmn fanart,people,but its time to move on.
No time left for fanart:Real life has finally taken a toll at my free time,and I have to choose whether to continue spending time on fanart,or move on and work on my very own story and characters.

Considering the little time I have available,I choose the later.

If you still wish to follow my work here on DA,you may do so on my other account. where I have finally started my own comic,"Log.In".

FUSE Corp group is,also,now on your hands.

...

Goodbye now.

----------------------------------------
EDIT:I have updated this dead account to a "living dead account" (Or "Zombie account"...something I came up with ).


What is a living dead account?

Its a DA account in which the owner has no further interest to keep functioning,and stays unattended,but remains open on DA for everyone to see...

Updates with stuff related to this account are possible! (new fanart uploaded and such),just dont get your hopes up.

(Warning:Might contain spoilers.You've been warned)

...

Well,let's see...in the past months I've been told lots of stuff about Inception.
And they weren't good...at all."Boring" was the most common word I could find in every comment ppl I know made me about the movie.
(I was the only one I haven't seen it in theaters by that time.)

But a hunch told me that I should not let this one pass.

So,fearing the worst (which is losing precious time to a boring movie),I took the DVD to home,sit on the couch,and pushed the play button.

...

I never got up of the couch.
Not a single time.

Let me "explode" my feelings towards you right now:

*Ahem*

THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN THE LAST DECADE!! AMAZING! CLEVER! DEEP! BREATHTAKING! JESUS MARIA AND JOSEPH!...

AND IF IT DOESN'T WIN AT LEAST AN OSCAR,I'LL BE VERY UPSET!! >: (

Seriously people? BORING!!?? Im dissapointed to mankind!! =/

(Here comes the rant)

I mean,this is some kind of "trend" I've been noticing in the last 5 years or so,where a complex movie would be inmediately labelled as "boring"! People doesn't reason and think anymore!?

Heck! and here I tought I was kinda slow when it came to complex situations! and this movie reminded me that im smarter than I could remember! (Thank you Mr Nolan,for giving me hope again)

I noticed myself going ahead of the script by a few seconds,but not because it was predictable! but because I could understand every single situation in the movie!
And the "Final fight" with "himself" in limbo? beautiful! And clever! how the script made Cobb face his own deepest feelings and guilts,and finally overcome them! This is pure,fresh psyquiatry material for college! They should study this movie at any psyquiatry class there is!

So whenever somebody say to you that a "movie is boring/dont pay the ticket/dont waste you time"...I say,follow your guts,and DO IT! You'll be surprised of what you've missed all the time.

...

Oh,and,how do you know if you've become kinda obsessed with a movie? When you find yourself watching at every possible review there is on the internet about it! That's how!!

...

(My favourite review of it,by the way)
[link]

UPDATE:
You thought I forgot about M3W,dont you?
Well I havent.Im writing it right now

Oh,also,I erased all the comments by cleaning my inbox (11,000 unreaded messages?...NO WAY! -delete all-)
So if there is something important you wanted to tell me,now its the time to ask/send it to me again.

UPDATE 2

Holy crap! how should I feel about this!?
[link]
AWESOME

First of all,I would like to thank you ALL for the tips given for Adobe Illustrator! even those who couldn't help me,but had the intention to do so. (and intentions are what really matters )

Second,I have good and bad news.Which one do you want to hear first?

Ok,the bad news first...Heh,the good one eclipses the bad one anyway.

This month is going to be a busy one for me.
Not only I do have to finish a final assignment for Art school,but also,as you already know,the portfolio I mentioned on my last journal.
This means that I will delay in uploading any kind of art here.

...

Good news now? Ok.

I had LOTS of petitions,notes and comments to go on with "certain fanfiction regarding a cute clone with a terrible fate" most of you loved to read.
So next thing im going to do as soon as this month is settled,is to go on with it.
Promess

Yup.How could I leave you all with such a cliffhanger!?

...

Now if you excuse me,im gonna finish to install Adobe Illustrator,to start practicing with it.

See ya later then.

During this week,I'll be trying to learn to use Adobe Illustrator for Vectorizing.

The reason? Well,I dont want to get ahead of time,but I was asked to prepare a few illustrations and isometric designs with this program,and present this as a portfolio,to apply for a videogame company.

Im confident I'll manage to handle it really quick.If I succeeded to learn to use Paint Shop Pro (The program I always used to do my pictures) with no tutorials,and just playing around with its tools,I dont see why I wont be able to do the same with this new program.

However,do you have any advice you could give me to start to use this program? Any tip would be very welcome.

Thnx in advance.

In a couple of months,I'll return to do some Pkmn fanart here!.
(This account for Pkmn Fanart,the other one as a Portfolio)

...

You may thank 5th gen for that

Remember guys:

-I've never left Deviantart!.Im just using my new account:

-This account is not dead! but dont expect me to answer back.I wont be entering too much here.

So I just found an option to withdraw my request to close the group!!
It was lying on my messages board.All I had to do was to click on the "withdraw" button.

Phew! that was close! I hope they dont delete the group now

So Im looking for a VERY responsible person to run the group for me while im gone.I would transfer the admin title to him/her.

Maybe one day I'll get enough time to come back to run it again.

So! which one of you want to run the group?

Well boys and girls...we had a lot of fun,didn't we?

You may have noticed my absense during these days.
The reason is pretty simple:My spare time has finally shrinked considerably,due to new responsabilities that raised at work,and personal life.

So I had to make a though decision:

-Continue using precious time in fanart?
-Or using that little spare time to train myself,to grow into a better artist,to one day being able to create my very own stories,characters and comics?

Today is the day.I've made up my mind:

I will stop using this account.

This doesn't mean I will stop doing Pkmn fanart.
If I ever do any other Pkmn Fanart (FUSE Corp/Infected/Whatever...)I will upload it here. (Im not closing the account!)
However,you won't see me around this account for a LOOOOOOOONG time.

So,yeah,you could consider this,from now on,a "Zombie account" (half dead,half alive).
It really breaks my heart to do this...but im no longer 18 yrs old.Im 26! and I need to hurry with my very own projects.

I've sent a request to close the "FUSE-Corp" group too.I simply cannot put time into running it anymore.

...

So...Am I leaving DevianArt then?

...

Nope.
I am just changing account

You see,I want to have some sort of "Online Portfolio" with my personal designs and characters.And what better place than DA!
I also want to develop my own manga characters and story further,and show some of them here. (Manga is codenamed "Log/IN")

My new account is:[link]

Are you mad at me? I dont blame you.I've left so much stuff undone! But it really can't be helped.
If you wish to unwatch me,I'll understand it.

With this said,thank you very much for 4 wonderful years of fanart together!! To those who leave,I'll never forget you.

...


Farewell now.


...

Waves hands at everyone,turn off the lights,and closes the door

account now rests in peace

I'll be taking a rest from drawing Pkmn,starting today.

You see,I am preparing a HUGE folder,filled with my own original characters,and a resume of my story,for a future manga.

It will contain illustrations with a similar quality to those I post here on my gallery (colored and everything),except for,of course,no Pkmn .
However,Im still not convinced with the final designs of my Ocs,so right now,im redesigning a couple of them.

Hmm...I might slip one here,just to show.
I have no illustrations done yet,though...just pure designs of the characters.

Dont worry:I plan to finish the Deevox picture for FUSE Corp before September 10th,for the Search of Deuxrai.
I'll keep an eye to the group,to approve the newest submissions and all,but dont expect an inmmediate answer to your comments for a while.

So yeah,sorry to bother you all with,yet,another boring journal.

See you soon,then!.

Peace.

I want to take a minute to feature an amazing artist I just discovered today.

While looking at this,stunned for several minutes,I couldn't help but remember all the deviants who always said to me that I was the best Pokemon artist around,to which I always reply that im not...im not at all.

Well...tonight,I got you all proof of that!.

Here,gasp your lungs out!:


If there would exist an artist duel of some sorts,this person would destroy me! It would take me out of the "ring" in no time.

But for now,it just melted my heart...at how deep and pure her backgrounds look.

The clouds...JESUS CHRIST,THE CLOUDS!!
And the details at the Absol picture...

This artist deserves YOUR watch,YOUR pageviews,YOUR support,and so on...

SO!...GO NOW!!

Everyone! Start sending me requests to be members! Only this way you can submit to the galleries.

EDIT:



[link]

Gee...that was fast! gonna start it right NOW!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just to let you know that my request to open a FUSE Corp group is finally being reviewed by DA staff.(Seems that my previous request didn't got through)So here's a heads up:

The group will obviously focus on fusions,and anyone will be able to join and submit their splices.
I wont be accepting splices made with official sprites or copyrighted images.This is to prevent massive reports,and an eventual ban of the group.The sprites or pictures will have to be scratched by yourself.
If I notice any small detail of an official sprite or fragment of an official image,I'll have to reject the submission.Sorry.


The group folders will be placed like this:

------------------------------------------------------------

Official FUSE Corp fusions.
A collection of the fusions I made,and i'll be making,will be submitted here.

Rejected FUSE Corp fusions
Every once in a while,I've made sketches of fusions,but never got interested in painting them...those will go here.

FUSE Corp lab (Members)
This is the place where YOU,the hired scientist,create (submit) your very own FUSEmon.I still dont know if I'll set a limit of submissions per day or not.
Drawings,sprites,sketches,flash,photomanipulation...anything goes! (Except official sprites or copyrighted images,as I explained before)
There wont be a limit of how many Pkmns you fuse.Want to fuse 20? go ahead.There's pretty much no boundaries for your creations.
Oh,and...you dont need to do a flashy background if you dont wish to.No need for a background at all.

"The Sandbox" (Members)
No limits here! fuse whatever characters,or objects you preffer,and submit it here,using any technique you preffer: Digimon,monster rancher,dysney...spongebob with a toilet ...ANYTHING GOES!
Please bear in mind that you will have to create/draw the fusion by yourself.This means that you cant use copyrighted images found on,lets say,Google.
This is,again,to avoid reports and ban.

"Scientist of the Month" (Members)
Every month,I'll suggest two or three Pkmn to fuse.The most original fusion will be featured on the front page for an entire month.Expect weird combinations!

Official FUSE Corp contests (Members)
Any FUSE corp contests will be held up here.Once the contest begins,submission will be opened.Once deadline is met,it will be closed.
These contests will have prizes,that include a digital picture of your fusion (Uploaded in the Official fusions,with full credit to you for the idea),and feature of your picture in a "Hall of Fame" permanently.

--------------------------------------------------

Well,seeing as how this will be my first group,do you have any suggestions for me? I'll be glad to learn more about this.

I also look forward to affiliate with other groups,such as - and others.
