Description After finally having convinced her trainer to let her go out and explore the forests, Skye was very much looking forward to some kind of adventure. as she moved deeper into the woods, she couldn't help but think of nearly everything she came across as fascinating. the tall trees, the Butterfree that fluttered through the skies, even the dirt itself peaked her interests, for someone who spent most of her life basically being a pampered pet, this was all just very exciting to her.

Soon after, a patch of bright red flowers caught her eye, she couldn't resist, she had to go check them out.
trotting over to the flowers she starts to sniff at them and she loved their spicy scent, but then out of no where she gets this eerie feeling of being watched by someone or something.

She quickly raises her head, looking from side to side and front to back, but she sees nothing...maybe it was just her imagination?
feeling safe once again, she turns her attention back to the flowers...or at least she tried to. instead of seeing the flowers, she sees a big furry creature with two big red eyes staring at her! With a startled gasp escaping her muzzle, she jumps back with her hackles raised.

She was expecting some big, scary Pokemon to either fight with or run away from, but instead what she got was something a little more odd;
A big brown Ursaring hanging upside down on a thin tree branch and looking straight at her with a goofy smile. it was such a strange sight for a moment there she thought she really was just imagining the whole thing!

"Hey there, You must be new here, 'cuz I've never seen you around these woods."
He said as he dangled off the branch.

"Uhm, Yeah, my trainer and I just moved here...Uh, why are you doing that?...HOW are you doing that?"
She asked.

"Doing what?"

"That. that dangling thing you're doing, aren't you a bit heavy for that?"

"Aw, this? Nah, not really. 800 pounds is actually much lighter than what people really say it i--"

Before anything else could be said, the weak branch finally snaps, dropping the bear-like Pokemon face first onto the ground.

"Oh my gosh, A-are you alright?"
Skye asked him worryingly.

"Nevermind...800 pounds is actually really, REALLY heavy."
He mumbled.

He sits up, shakes his body to get all the dirt from his fur and then licks his lips a bit, then he turns to introduce himself.

"My names' Dalton, what's yours?"

"Lots of humans and Pokemon know me as AmberHeart Radience, but my real name is Skye."

"Oh, yeah, I like that name better. it's a pretty name."

"Yes, thank you, I'm sure it is...well, it was nice meeting you, but I gotta go now."

She tries to leave, but the Ursaring started to follow her.

"Cool, so where we goin'?"

"N-no, no, I'M going to keep looking around in the forest, YOU are going to sit right here, or...go do something else, okay?"

"But can't I just come with--"

"No."

"Are you sure I can't--"

"No."

"Not even for a few--"

"No, No, NO! I just want to look around the forest by myself, thank you, I don't want or need any company right now, so could you please just leave me alone and stop following me?!

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry...I'm just a bit lonely and I thought, y'know, we could hang out or something..."

"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not exactly the most social Pokemon...I don't socialize with many people aside from 2 other Pokemon and a human, and honestly I prefer to keep it like that. so I'm sorry I'm not as open as you'd like, and I hope you find some new friends, okay."

After saying her final goodbyes to the Ursaring, Skye turns and presses forward, going past him and walking off.
the sad Ursaring hangs his big, fluffy head low and lets out a deep sigh, but then something in the dirt catches his eye, something he felt that Skye really needed to know about.

"H-Hey! Hey!...Skye come back!"
He calls out to her.

Skye turns her head to see him running toward her at an alarmingly quick pace. finding his clinginess annoying, she decides to not say a word and just run forward to get away from him.

"Wait, Skye come back! I wanna show you something!!!"
He cried out to her.

But she payed no attention to him at all, she only ran faster.
jumping over a bunch of bushes, she decides to try and hide from him, she lay low and still in the foliage and he runs right past them.
with a sigh of relief, she figured it was all over, but she was wrong, as somehow, Dalton had found her and was 'hiding' along with her by sitting right beside her!

"Wow, you sure can run fast!"
He chuckled.

Surprised, she makes a run for it once again, this time by hiding in a seemingly abandoned Vulpix den, that unfortunately was already occupied...by Dalton.

"Well this is a tight spot, ain't it?"
he said with a goofy grin.

But of course, Skye just gasped and ran somewhere else.
she couldn't get away from him, everywhere she went, he was somehow already there.

Behind a big tree, he was there.
Inside a Zubat cave, he was there.
Inside a fallen log, only half of him was there because his bottom was too big to fit...

Running away once again, Skye was quickly becoming exhausted, but that Ursaring seemed to have limitless energy...just where was he getting it all from?!

Skye then suddenly sees something up ahead that makes her try her best to slow down; A small pond filled with water, something she just can't stand. due to how quickly she was running at first, she had difficulty slowing to a stop, but in a matter of seconds, she succeeds in stopping just a few feet away from the horrible water on a flat-top rock that pointed forward.

With a sigh of relief, she is just happy to still be dry, but unfortunately, she then remembered the Ursaring that was chasing after her.
turning around after hearing the sound of his voice yet again, she notices that he's coming extremely fast and that he doesn't see the pond.

She tries to get him to stop, but he's just running too quickly to even think about stopping.
with him so close and no where else to move on the small pointed rock, she braces herself and they both topple into the water!

Soaking wet and covered in mud, he couldn't help but just laugh at the whole incident.
but his laugh wasn't normal, it was loud and strange and annoying.

"G'FWAH-FWAH-FWAH-FWAH! G'FWAH-FWAH-FWAH!"
he cackled strangely.

But Skye was not laughing, not at all. she, like a lot of Typhlosions, was furious.

"You think this is funny? You big oaf! You-You-You big Stupid ass!"

"Aw c'mon, it's no big deal, it's just a little water."
He said to her while still chuckling a bit.

"I'm a Fire-type, We hate water!"

"Oh...OH! Yeah, I think I get it now, gee, that sure does explain why you're so hot, I just thought you had a fever."

"AAURRRGHH!! If my fire wasn't out, I'd..Ugh...Just--What do you want from me? Why did you chase me all around the forest like that?"

"I was trying to give this back to you. You dropped one of your sparkly thingies."

Showing her a glittering object in one of his paws, she sees that it was one of the rhinestones missing from her purple collar.

"Wait a minute, you stalk me throughout the entire forest and knock me into some water just to return a fake diamond to me?"

"Yyyyyyessss...?..."

"Thank you, that's very sweet...I think. How were you running so fast even though you're so big?"

"Oh, I have the Quick Feet ability. meaning when ever I get some kind of status problem it makes me faster. I was just lucky/unlucky enough to have a Beedrill sting me on the butt."

"Oh, well I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm sorry I snapped at you like that. I just have a really bad temper."

"I noticed. I think it's cool, not many things actually bother me, really."

"So I've noticed."
She chuckled.

She then sees the sun beginning to set, moving further and further behind the giant trees.

"Oh goodness, well I think it's time I start going back home. If I'm even a minute after curfew my human will have a worry-fit."

"Okay then, but when do you think you'll be back? I just wanted to apologize for all this, and I thought maybe I could finish showing you around the forest since, y'know, I kinda ruined that for you earlier. I-If you're okay with that, that is. feel free to say No again if you want."

Skye was quite for a moment, shifting her eyes around, thinking of how to respond, and rather enjoying the pained and nervous look on his face as a small bit of payback for all the trouble he caused her earlier. and with a mischievous smile she stands up, turns around and walks off.

That was it. That was the 'No' answer that he dreaded, only it hurt even more since she said absolutely nothing to him, he knew he had blew this chance to make a new friend. he was going to be lonely forever...or so he thought, as Skye then suddenly stopped walking and turned her had back toward his direction and began to speak to him.

"I'm done thinking, How about I see you tomorrow? We can meet again right here by this pond."

She enjoyed that look of absolute doom as payback at first, but now she likes that bright, stupid look of unspeakable joy on his face even more.
----------------

Woah, another long story.
and this time this one is a real, extra sappy one. XD

So now we know what both of of ole' Douchebag Razzle's parents look like.
and just as a fun fact, yes, this Teddiursa is also Dalton;Β 

And hey, is that Mt. Silver back there?
fuck those mountains!!

The whole story part was from my own imagination, but about 2-3 screenshots from the movie were used as reference to get a good feel for how the background/setting should look and feel.

Yeah, she never really was the social Butterfree.

Always preferred to either be alone with her trainer or with the two other Pokemon friends she's got.
anything over that tends to make her extremely uncomfortable...

Though I'm pretty sure anyone would be a little uncomfortable with practically an 800lb grizzly bear following them, even if he was kinda gentle.
gentleness is nice, but it doesn't make those teeth and claws any less sharper!

I cannot find proper english words to say how wonderful overall work is~

The drawing of characters as always with your cool style, the gorgeous background that reminds of greatest animated movies and the story which is one of the greatest among Pokemon fan-fics. I love you have reliable characters, the way they react AND little poke-science into it!

Ah, thank you!

I'm very pleased to hear that you enjoy it.

These really are a lot of fun to work on especially in the case of designing the world they live in and how they react to it as well as how they react with one another. really, my favorite part of all is making them a little more 'human' than what we're used to in comparison to the anime/manga/games, but still keeping that 'wild animal' feel to them when the time really calls for it.

Same here and that's the main reason why I so love and enjoy your work!
It also makes me feel less alone in my way of seeing the Pokemon World. Especially the balance between their animal-like nature and more human-like side

Thanks!

But unfortunately, No, I don't have any kind of drawing videos and whatnot.
though I do believe that I can shed some light on a few things and share some good resources!;

For starters, although I screwed around in Photoshop with this for a bit, a majority of this was done in Manga Studio 5 with a Marker brush.
but for the general design for the environment, I mainly used photos of forests I searched for using google like these;
st.gdefon.com/wallpapers_origi…
www.freewhd.com/wp-content/upl…
www.fixtvforum.com/wp-content/…

Those were references from real-life forests and were mainly to help me get an idea for what type of setting I really want for my goal.
but sometimes even scenes from animated movies can help as well, if not better in some cases.

And one of my top favorite disney films, Brother Bear, helped a lot.
here are a few more pics that helped me with making this;Β 
screencaps.us/200/3-brother-be…
screencaps.us/200/3-brother-be…
This really is a great movie that has helped me TONS in the making of several plot points of my TLS story idea, and it pains me a lot to see that it's so underrated...

And finally for painting the whole environment, well...yeah, still no videos of my own...but I can still show you where I usually get my resources.

Here are some really great brushes for Photoshop and Manga Studio;
redjuice's Brush Set for CLIP STUDIO PAINT
Clip Studio Paint Brushes
Brush Pack
KFCemployee's favorite brushes
MangaStudio 5 - clip studio paint - brushes pack2

And here are also some great tutorials on doing certain nature elements, all made by some seriously talented artists;
Stone Tutorial
How I draw grass
Water in lake tutorial
Background Tutorial 2.0

Whew! I should stop now before this comment gets out of control.
but If you need any more awesome tutorials, you could always look through my 'Reference' and 'Tutorial' folders in my favorites.
right along with watching a crap load of cartoons/anime, and googling a bunch of landscape pictures, I'm always lurking around here on DA searching for any awesome tutorials that could help with my artwork.

I really hoped that this helped, and sorry for the huge wall-of-text comment!

blueharuka In reply to Soch-Chy [2014-12-01 04:12:23 +0000 UTC]

It's funny how I already said that Skye was Razzle's mom, yet didn't really realize that she looks exactly like him in this picture until I had finished it completely.
usually when I have characters like these, I tend to make the parents look a little different from their children, but this was the first time that parent and offspring looked exactly alike in one of my drawings. XD

Don't worry, I love these two waaaayyy too much to just leave it at this, so most likely we'll be seeing a lot more of them and hearing more about both of their lives, both together and before they met.

And, Brother bear was the inspiration for this, yes.
along side The Princess and the frog, Home on the range, Mulan, Hunchback of notre dame (and basically every other disney film overshadowed by TLK And Frozen) Brother Bear is definitely one of my all time favorite movies.

Haha, true! I try the same thing when I desing characters. But well, mom genes are so dominant there ;D Omg, I' so happy to read that! I can't wait to see more about these two ^^

Brother Bear is one of my favourites movies (Soo sad Disney kill the story with the second movie) I still remember the day my mother gift me the VHS!
Oh, yep... Lion King is a good movie, sadly the fandom... put it on a pedestal and don't see anything else! And Frozen... well... no much to said about it :/ Bad animation, bad story, but good songs and a lot of marchandise.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

blueharuka In reply to Soch-Chy [2014-12-02 01:47:03 +0000 UTC]

I have kind of a 'like(not really love)/burning hatred' sort of thing for the TLK film.
as a child, I was like everyone else, I immediately loved the movie when it came out because, well, it was animated and it had animals, and I like both of those things. but as the years went by, I found other films, both disney and non-disney that struck me right at the heart and I loved them all. one could even say that I had actually forgotten all about TLK.

But after a few years I found my TLK vhs tape and decided to look at it once again just for nostalgia purposes and boy did I find a lot of things in the movie that annoyed me. and I really mean ANNOYED me. aside from one song (Be prepared) I hated most of the music, for some reason the prideland animals all struck me as complete jerks, Mufasa seemed like a big hypocrite/bully, and the two things that irritated me the most was the portrayal of the hyenas and whole 'Circle of Life' message, which in the way that it was delivered just seemed incredibly...poor.

But really, in all honesty I could have let the majority of that slide if it wasn't for the crazy fanbase.
if your favorite movie wasn't TLK or if your favorite character wasn't a lion you're immediately labeled as a 'retard' because apparently 'you can't appreciate something good when you see it'.

and trust me, those were actual comments I received a few years back on an animated movie forum when I just said that it wasn't my top favorite movie...of course, I just laugh at it now, but I still can't see why some people really have to get that insane about one movie like that. XD

Yeah, he's just a big, fat cutie pie with an even bigger and fatter appetite, really!
