Description
xx. sketchdump twocompiled in photoshop elements 8.0
Seeing several people said they didn't mind me uploading sketches, have a sketchdump xD A lot of these are either concept doodles or reference sheet sketches for the most part.
Up at the top are a couple hound pokemon characters of mine. There's Lark (arcanine/houndoom), Khetet (mightyena/arbok), Calypsa (ninetales), Flare (winged houndoom), and Reaper (ninetales). Reaper may very well have a part in my Lanorae project. He's essentially a pokemon-esque "Grim Reaper," though he's really shrouded in mystery xD
Then we have a concept sketch of my flygon, Spirit. I may toy around with a few things yet, but as you can see I'm really going for a bug-dragon look while still keeping somewhat close to the official design.
The two trainers below her are going to be trainer images for IPL trainer cards. The first one is my self-insertion trainer, and also the trainer of Spirit, and the second is a revamp of Rui, which some of yins may know. Yay or nay for her updates? xD
Then there's a side-view of Abacus to show his bad posture, and that's likely going to go on his reference sheet once I'm happy with the leg anatomy. Right now I'm not sure about it.
And at the very bottom is Abbadon, Rui's absol. I gave him a somewhat humanoid face as a throwback to the idea of the Sphinx, plus official absols look like they have a somewhat flat-ish face, which I think could hint at that idea. His front paws are also meant to be somewhat "hand-like." I wanted to go for something a bit different than the typical lion-esque design =3 Abbadon here has had a rough past though. He's actually completely missing both eyes and usually wears a Detect Band over his sockets. Rui encountered him when she was called to exorcise a "demon," which turned out to be an absol that was caught lurking around a small town. A couple men caught him and pretty much mutilated him (how he lost his eyes and received the scars) because they were superstitious about the absol legends. Ironically, Abbadon was actually trying to warn them about a disaster, and soon after Rui freed him the men and several others were killed in the rock slide that had been sensed.
He now sees by using Future Sight in rapid succession, though it's an exhausting process and as a result he cannot battle for long periods of time. I'm still playing with his scar patterns. The men also engraved things like "demon" and such into his body, but I'm not sure where to put them (or if they'll make the final design). I'm also not totally happy with his back feet and his tail may get an overhaul seeing I'm still playing with ideas for how absol tails may look.

....Sooner or later? 8D;
I'm having issues designing his clothes for some reason, lol. Plus the giant ref I'm undertaking with him probably wasn't my best idea. I may need to just go for a simpler ref so I can actually get something out there =U

I've missed your stuff too <3 At least I get the occasional dose of it on Facebook and such. That makes me happy xD
Though I can't inconspicuously peek over your shoulder to see what you're doodling anymore, which is no fun xD

I sure do love how you draw Flygon. Spirit looks so elegant~
And oh man, Sphinx-Absol. ._. It looks kind of freaky, but it also makes a lot of sense. I'm very intrigued by how Abbadon's final design may end up.
The human character updates look good too. It was Rui that always had her hair over her eyes, right? But it looks so much better lifted. ._. And disregarding my bias against hair over the eyes, I really like how you drew here there just because of how expressive she looks, with that posture and expression and everything.

Thanks <333 I'm glad I managed to get the elegant look across while still throwing some bug characteristics in. And yeah xD Freaky sort of fits absol better I think. I tried going for the lion-esque look, but it almost made him look too "noble" for a species that's regularly feared by the general population. I want my absols to be creepy darnit!
Yes, Rui was the one with the hair over the eye xD That was one thing about her character that always stuck. Though, lol, that's probably the most expressive you'll ever see her. Normally she's like "....-cold stare-" xDDD
