BummerForShort β€” Some have it rough

Description Well if it isn't another ability strip. How novel.

Actually, for a long time I've wanted to make something out of the Trace ability, while also
giving Porygon some screentime. I did, however, never decide on an ability to run with. Then
Craig emailed me his Rough Skin suggestion, and after throwing the idea back and forth, we
reached a satisfying agreement, which we hope will please the rest of you lot too.

Any likelyness between this update and earlier strips is a complete coincidence and should
be ignored entirely. Something that is also a complete coincidence is that both Porygon and
Druddigon share colors and name endings, which too should be ignored entirely.

I take it that evolution is Pory-gone? *shot*
Actually, IIRC the Porygon line had access to Sharpen, but I'm guessing that would be different from what your comic showed.

If it had used Sharpen, it wouldn't be particularly surprised by the results.

And that is a most excellent pun.

Actually, with them sharing similar colours helps to keep this piece all the more unified, which works in your favour. And this concept is quite unique regardless of it being used in a similar manner simply because you put a unique twist to it. I'm also quite fond of using the digital-like visuals to reflect the computerized man-made nature of the Porygon line. It's also interesting, that whether you meant to or not, you have Porygon 2's visuals more sleek than it's "rough" predecessor, which helps to reflect their overall designs. Nice touch.

BummerForShort In reply to IngenRanger [2012-06-20 20:21:37 +0000 UTC]

If I can avoid it, I never draw the same pokΓ©mon twice. But drawing all of them for the sake of it is such a gargantuan task that the art will suffer because of the pressure.
