Let's be honest, rival gets rekt first battle.
Pokemon have finally made their entrance to F&I after one and a half years, WOO! That's some progress, wouldn't you think?
Unfortunately getting the coloring done for this update took a lot longer than expected because A) procrastination B) school C) loss of motivation D) I'm an idiot and somehow can't do simple shading. I feel a little burnt out but at the same time I want to switch gears and put quantity/story over quality for once. The next few pages will most likely be in black and white to save on time and, theoretically, they'll come out faster too. Theoretically.

And yes, the Squirtle has a name- he'll get one the next update. And no, this comic will never be visually consistent.

I really understand the issue with studies vs nuzlocke, studies tend to take priority hahaha.  Good luck for both, though! (:

It looks fantastic!!
That battle scene turned out amazing and I love the bookcase destruction!! XD
Alice is so sassy and that squirtle is a perfect match for her. Shepard seems pretty cool too! 

That fancy sprial-y brush is gorgeous and I love the effects of it. *w*

And the panel where Gary dodges the bulbasaur canon ball- his pose is perfect. You absolutely nailed it. :3

Thanks Aero! Bookcase demolition ftw :U and they shall return... with a vengeance
DETECTING HIGH LEVELS OF SASS
Alice's dialogue is pretty fun to write. XD I have to admit I was heavily influenced by Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Gotta love me some Whedon.


Yas the BS brush of awesome! I love it so.
Awh thanks so much x) It would not be so much fun to be nailed by a bulbasaur canon ball.

THE SASS IS OFF THE CHARTS

Lmao! I bet!! XD
I've only ever seen GIF's of Buffy, but I'm heavily inspired from all kinds of things so I think that's normal. X)

It's so pretty~ *w*

cute design on the squirtle- especially the tail. adds a nice feel to your style, i think, and shows where wartortles floof comes from later haha. also that was the most badass counter to vine whip a water-type could ever make. seriously

punpunpun!! that was a good one alice ;D

Thank you!! The tail is the most fun part to draw XD No regrets.
Alas, that counter is too good to be true in-game.

Nice, very nice, the battle is well done and the banter between the two pokemon was brilliant.  I really like that squirtle, he's quite the character and his quips are adorable (not quite the right word, but I can't think of a better one at the moment).  His design is really nice, too, the darker colors are unique and distinctive, and his 'feathered' tail makes for a nice precursor to his wartortle form.

Triple pun?  I think I spotted two, what's the third?  

And don't worry about quality, I think this looks great!

sevenluck In reply to Zephyrus-Genesis [2015-01-29 23:22:43 +0000 UTC]

Awh, thank you very much! I appreciate it. x) The squirtle design went through a lot of changes but I'm happy with the one I finally nailed down.

And I'd be delighted to explain the pun!

Booked: have all appointments or places reserved; be full. (Mr. Rival face better make room in his schedule for cleaning up the mess in the lab)
Booked, slang: to get in trouble or caught for something that you did wrong
and literal books all over the floor. XD

Sleep deprived humor ftw.
Thank you, I'll keep in mind x)

Zephyrus-Genesis In reply to sevenluck [2015-01-30 16:07:49 +0000 UTC]

You definitely nailed it ^_^
He sort of reminds me of one of the TMNT designs, and all the sass that implies, which promises to be fun.  He certainly is more mobile than the typical squirtle.

O.O
Wow, three puns all wrapped up in a single word.  Genius!  And here I was thinking there was some vague pun involving Endeavor due to squirtle beating an enemy twice his level.  But I DID catch two of the three puns, though I misinterpreted them as one: the second and third.

It's amazing what comes out of our heads when we're sleep deprived.

sevenluck In reply to Zephyrus-Genesis [2015-01-31 00:21:57 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah, I was looking at different turtle designs and saw TMNT and got the same connection. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing XD
Yep, I promise there's lots of sass in store for this comic lol.

I think it's good enough catching two XD It just means there's a third hidden meaning that's more obscure haha. 
I sat there a good while and came up with so many combinations. I was determined to make it work. XD

Indeed :I

Zephyrus-Genesis In reply to sevenluck [2015-01-31 02:15:04 +0000 UTC]

I'd say it's a good thing in this case.
Sass is always fun to watch/read.

Well, you certainly did in that regards.

AH! update, Update!
just like old times!
so one of teh ball contains an old squirtle XD
still wondering what is on the second ball
Also if two poekmons are the same one from Red's era
 why would the Gary not have the squirtle and it is not a Blastoise yet...
so maybe they are not the same one from red's era, but they go way a bit?

sevenluck In reply to Velink [2015-01-29 22:47:28 +0000 UTC]

just like old times, back in '13....
Very nice theory but that's not Gary! x)
It'd be an interesting take if the Pokemon were from Red's time, but these are a new set of 'mons. 
The squirtle's mostly referring to the time when all three of them were together in the lab. :>

That Squirtle reminds me a lot of Donahue from the "Burning Bridges" Nuzlocke.

I realize there are similarities, but Donahue shouldn't be the only one to have a fabulous fluffy tail.

no no, it's totally cool! I mostly noticed it with the darker blue spots on Squirtle's face, but I like them very much

I don't think you need to fear the quantity over quality though, 'cause this thing looks really well in my opinion.

Well this is still full on perfectionism and took way more time than expected XD
