But I do want to continue with the redesigns. Was glad to get out another one though. Jenna was my first adopted character and her original look came from a certain flash game that had mashed elements of May, Leaf, Hoenn Ash, and Team Aqua together. The beta look I did of her was also thanks to that (don't ask me how I got it to work, I'm not sharing) and I wanted to try and add a small amount of pop culture to her character. Oh and I had to include her partner Furret.
Anywho, let's go over some of the changes.
[ul]
Head: I kept the bandanna but updated it to be more of a reverse of the Emerald design. As for her hairstyle, I wanted to make her feel more unique, and the fringe I kept thinking of had me going back to a few characters, including one OC from an old friend not on dA anymore. Also made her hair flare out at the end. Her emerald green eyes are a mix of the old and modern anime style.[/ul]
[ul]
Outfit: To go with the whole adding pop culture, I made her top more like a custom sailor uniform with an emerald green tie, but also keeping with the original design's colors. Pants, I got lazy with and just removed the rings that the original Team Aqua pants had. Shoes are mostly unchanged but are no longer high tops.[/ul]
[ul]
Misc.: Kept the use of a fanny pack. She also wears a golden ring bracelet (no guesses as to where I got the idea from) that was given to her after Hoenn.[/ul]
[ul]
(Possibly) Planned: New outfits based on elements from later regions. Also maybe cosplay outfits to go with her character. Like Mat, she's gonna end up going through a lot.[/ul]
Like Mat, her pose was taken from something, and up to you if you want to guess from what. I'm probably going to do this for everyone else too.

The ultimate enemy looms in front. With the powers of time and space at his command, he seeks to annihilate all with his expanding universe, his ideal reality. He retreats into his creation to control its godly might. Confronting him, is a boy and his faithful partner. The two had come far, honing themselves the best they could, but alone, they are nothing. The boy, strengthened by the very souls of those close to him, brandishes a blade created from the very power bestowed to him, using a gift given to use as a conduit. His partner at his side, enhanced by the embodiments of Willpower, Emotion, and Knowledge, wields power unyielding to even the gods themselves. Their clash will decide the fate of all. Who of the clashing sides will be Undefeatable?
Ok, you get the idea. And I think by the obvious lyrics above what inspired this and possibly others that I want to do. But the biggest thing is if this decides whether or not I'll do my Pokéverse depending on its reception. I would love to, but only if I know it'll generate interest. And I do also want to get a bit outside of my comfort zone, or go-to thing I seem to be known, and stalked, for.
You can probably guess the biggest challenge of this drawing.

Didn't think I'd finally get to this. Redesigning my Pokéself. Well, here we are. Mat's back and sporting a now updated look for the Pokéverse that hopefully doesn't look too much like "generic main character". A lot of the design changes are IRL inspired since this was supposed to be based on myself, but back then, I never really thought to look in a mirror enough to really see myself.
Anyway, I want to go over the redesign details:
Body: Mostly IRL inspired, except this looks way better. I kept the way the hair looks bladed at the end though, but my hair does indeed curl forward like that. Skin is paler than it used to be from the old design.
Head: While I wanted to try to not look generic or reuse the previous eye style, I had used some different looks like Morty, Goh, or Paulo from Masters for inspiration, but after creating my PNGtuber look, I chose to incorporate it to this. Looks way better. With the hair, I chose to use my own hairline and bangs but mirrored.
"M" Quirk: Easy, his hairline makes an "M" shape now. Originally, it was in the fringe. Was going to try and do it similar but then I chose it to be in the hairline.
Outfit [Top]: Again, mostly IRL inspired. The top now consists of a sleeveless hoodie based on the one I actually have but with a navy blue color, which has black rims for the arms (which are hard to see, I admit) and around the bottom. The chest pockets are retained but are zip-up ones. Zipper is also black, mostly worn undone. The T-shirt underneath is black. Was thinking of adding a graphic or branding to it but decided against to not overdo things.
Outfit [Bottom]: A mix of the previous design with a more tame look, opting for a big stripe down the outer sides of each leg. Part of it was inspired by Brendan's Emerald design minus the pants underneath. The shorts were lengthed to be below-knee length, like court shorts I have. In fact, overall the clothing was made longer and larger due to current preferences. White high socks are retained from the original design.
Outfit [Shoes]: Literally the Luxury Loafers (White/Red) from Sw/Sh DLC. Loved them too much that I had to include them. Plus they're the most Sonic-like I've ever seen. How Mat gets them imported from Galar, I'm not saying. (Spoiler: The Black/Red ones will be for a later outfit design)
Misc.: Chose to give him a Quick Ball. It's easily my favorite kind of ball for obvious reasons. It was also introduced in Gen IV, which was when I had started with my Pokéself's creation.
Planned: One major addition for Gen V will be a bracer on his right arm instead of the bracelet. The scarf will happen too but toned down. A new outfit is planned for Gen VI and onward.
Pose is taken from something. Up to you to guess from what. Only hint is it's not a Sonic pose.

New OC! Well, newish, but first time drawing her up. Ali was designed using Kisekae during a time when I was thinking about a secretary-type character, then pictured what she'd be like wearing casual/at-home clothes. I wanted something simple, but also nice for a lady. Purple was a thought as it felt like a mature color over pink and I was beginning to like purple a lot more, so I made it her main color.
After trading back for her (which is a thing I rather not get into detail over, please don't ask), I wasn't sure what to do with her. I had thought of having her either be within the other characters as a minor character, or be in her own story separate from the others. Or as my streaming mascot after I had gotten into that scene. I probably will but I'm still not sure how I want to do things. A lot right now depends on how things go IRL for me.
Anyway, Ali is what is known as a closet gamer. (which I was thinking of calling her story if I went through with that idea) She is an introvert who lives in a small apartment, and owns a Gamestation IV (later a V), Wintendo Shift, some other legacy consoles, and a custom-built PC. Often she wears a Digitech G733 headset when gaming, and uses a GameLady G3w controller (pictured in her hand here) when playing on her PC. She likes many kinds of genres like RPGs, Action/Adventure, and Multiplayer, with series like Last Legend, Super Maria, Sonia the Hedgehog, The Fable of Link, Hyper Smash Sisters, etc. (Thinking these up is hard)
Much of the pose was referenced from this: Base Edit 2
Age: 28-30? Hair Color: Light Brown Eyes: Green Preferred Color: Purple/Violet Attire: Purple long-sleeve top, dark dark blue/grey pants, dark grey leggings, brown loafers Shoe size: W11 Likes: Gaming/PC, streaming, pepperoni pizza, iced tea Dislikes: no internet, socializing offline Weakness: Overhydrates often VA: Erica Schroeder (a.k.a Bella Hudson)
As you probably know, I had drawn Serena in her SUBB gear using Clip Studio Paint last year and had a separate background sketched to go with it. I had drawn her a couple times to get used to tablet drawing and after a redraw, I got her done and looking good without any shaky lines. The background however was all Gimp done recently, and I went through a lot of figuring how to make everything look like a proper undersea environment, again. I think though I got it figured it out more by now. But the whole tablet drawing thing, I'm still not sure.
The idea of adding that she was in front of a camera was from something I saw a long time ago, but the idea of it being from a Rotom Phone's was a recent addition. A lot more fitting than a standard camera screen. (And to get the obvious out of the way, no, I have not played New Pokémon Snap yet and won't until I get my moving situation taken care of.)

I'M TRYING TO LEARN TABLET DRAWING IN GIMP AND CLIP STUDIO AND I WANT TO IMPROVE ON HOW I DO IT FOR FUTURE DRAWINGS!
This was an adopted OC originally sold by @LilacPhoenix a long time ago, bought for me by @GoldLinaric, who I never got around to creating anything with beyond the sketch of this and her alternate outfit. So I chose to give her a try with my tablet and Clip Studio Paint. Needless to say, linearting was a lot less mentally painful, with the right stabilization settings, but figuring out base color and shading was a massive chore! Not only that, but certain functions like resizing, cropping, and other effects aren't possible with Clip Studio. A lot of it is making me question if I can make this method work or if I should try something else, or if it's not worth giving up my old pathing method in Gimp. (Yeah it's cleaner lines but it's super tedious to do it all even for simpler designs) I actually forgot to add highlights to her hair and ended up doing it in Gimp anyway.
This is her alternate outfit, or at least it's just a top change from a white t-shirt with a star on it, to a deep blue wool sweater, for colder temperatures. To be honest, I kind of like this look more.

So what I did was in Clip Studio, I did the lineart on a vector layer, and using that layer as a reference layer, colored on a raster layer underneath, and after creating the shading layer, used a Fill option called "Close and fill" with a Target Color setting at "Area surrounded by black". I also clipped the shading layer to the color layer so no blank areas outside the color would be included when shading. I found that out after shading this one so you'll see it in the other picture.
I don't know when I plan to draw her in the dancer outfit that she was originally designed in. Maybe in the future, depending on if I plan to get more involved with my OCs again.

First real try using my Huion Kamvas 13 pen display. I pretty much traced over a sketch I did for it so I could practice linearting differently. I figured drawing something simple would help me practice, and what's more simple than a cute animated girl wearing a wetsuit? .... ok, a bunch of things, but Serena was all I could think of. Plus I did want to make a full reference of the wetsuit she wore in Scuba Surprise! It's not my design fully, I had part of it in a personal commission, I only really came up with the bottom half and belt myself.
For now, I'll be posting these outside of premium as I want feedback for this. (SO, PLEASE, COMMENTS!) I did this one in GIMP but next time I do one, it'll be in Clip Studio. I want to learn this and I know it'll be tough to get the hang of, but I want to be able to create stuff without it being so tedious or limiting in what I can do. I want it to be engaging, more hands-on.

She used to be a former friend's unreleased OC, but I adopted her in exchange for one I was going to create. So, this is Numi. She's pretty much a fetish OC. She loving blowing up big bubbles from soap, big air bubbles when diving underwater, inflating balloons, trapping herself inside or resting on both bubbles/balloons, and even inflating her own boobs. She has a few secret kinks too, but she keeps those only to me or those she can deeply trust. She wears a green latex top, blue pants, green high heels, and red rimmed glasses.

This new one I made, or the previous one seen here? http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/matthespeedstar/858886/Sparkle
Please comment on which you think is better for her? TBH though I personally like this one more. I felt the crossing ribbons were a bit much and I wanted to include some other details instead like the stitch line for the legs of her bellbottoms and her own personally designed gym badge. (Debating on its name, it's either Coral Badge, Deep Badge, or Ocean Badge) I can admit though, it was mostly cause I didn't like the ribbons as they were.]]>Totally Moon! by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:a5af18ab-0ae6-fdf6-998e-63aa8eff4b782019-10-31T14:46:47-07:00Surprise! I did something after all for "Inktober"! Well... actually, this too is an old one, but by that, I mean I sketched this a LONG TIME AGO! I'm talking like 2013 old, so it's not part of my better sketching material. I had a logo too but I didn't feel like adding it in. Maybe some time later, I could if I feel like it.
The actual reason why this is because back then, there were news posts about Sailor Moon's re-dubbing by Viz Media, and Totally Spies getting another season after its whole conclusion arc happened. Back then, I had thought "Finally, they'll dub the StarS season now!" but after listening to the first few episodes.... I dunno. Having her original name kept throwing me off. (I'm too used to Serena!) Also saw parts of that new TS season. Again, doesn't feel right with the style change to look closer to its sequel series. Ah well, can't be helped.
While making this, I was thinking of doing her normal white and dark blue colors, but I just couldn't get them to work, so.... I guess I chose a bubblegum pink instead? That'd probably fit Mini Moon more now that I think about it. Maybe if I feel like it, I'll do alternate versions.

And I really did want to finish it too. But I don't think I'll be drawing them again for a long time. Anyway this came from an rp I had a while back where we took these two to Lake Lamode. (That place is too beautiful yet too small at the same time!) I had too much fun with them and wanted to do something from it. You never know where inspiration can come from these days. Why two completely unrelated things? Why not?
I got rid of the spikes (which honestly I bet at some point the locals would have dealt with) cause I don't want to ruin their time exploring the waters of one of the best odyssey kingdoms out there. No worrying about holding their breaths either. Although Rita there might be having other ideas having hers reflect herself on it. I still love how I pulled that off. Sakura on the other hand.... need I say more? XD

I originally made this cute catch many years ago based off of a beautiful-looking anime mermaid pic I saw and went with it from there but finally I got to updating her new look. so those not familiar with her, meet Sparkle! This is her PKMN version and at some point I'll create another version closer to what I had done with her originally. I'll list the differences from her last look so anyone who hasn't met her yet.
1. Her hair received some change. I flaired her bangs out a bit and gave her crossing ribbons for her sides (I dunno what you'd call them, I know they're not sideburns) I also made her skin a little paler too. Her yellow headband is unchanged.
2. Gave her midriff shirt a collar, and reduced her bust one size. She was originally a D. She also wears a Mystic Water as a pendant now as a gift from Mat. Her shirt has been loosened as well.
3. Her armband was moved to her wrist from just after her elbow. She does wear her personally designed gym badge on it, but not all the time. Later on, she'll have a Key Stone attached to it.
4. I made sure to show crystal clear that she wears bellbottom pants, as well as include the usual things pants have before their legs. Not jeans, pants. Underneath she wears pale pink leggings.
5. Shoes have been redesigned but retain their color and design as slip-on shoes. They're also water shoes.
6. She owns a paper umbrella now, with its own holster. She doesn't always carry it, but it once belong to one of her ancestors. It's a pinkish red. (I researched that red paper umbrellas in Japan were used for weddings, so I factored that into the coloring.)
Family: Older brother Elias (living), mother and father (deceased)
Goal: Become Hoenn's Water-type Gym Leader, and become Mat's spouse
Loves: Mat, swimming/diving in the ocean, Fresh Water
Hates: Wearing other clothes, Cold air, any other drinks (will not drink anything but water)
Theme: "How Far I'll Go" (Moana)]]>HBD Rita by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:375785e1-720d-75f0-2c65-11562d3bb27b2019-06-22T18:25:16-07:00This unfortunately is a temporary upload. This is just half of the picture I'm doing, but I wanted to give my CCS love for her birthday just around the corner (June 24th)
Don't know when I'll finish it but I will in the future. It'll look much better. But for now, happy birthday, miss Rita!

Wearing traditional kimonos, check. Dreamy background, check. Kotatsu, check. Funny expression on one of them, check. Looks like the work of a WEEB! *shot* Ok, maybe true but I'm not, cause I LIKE DUBS! *gets sniper headshot and respawns* As in, the old Nelvana dub of Cardcaptors. *runs from angry weeb mob carrying gunblades* Ok I'm done roasting weebs.
Anyway, there's common ground between these two. Both share the name Sakura (but with different pronunciations), have great magical powers, youngest of their families, and have their birthday in April, 8 days apart. Oh and they both love sweet stuff too. Happy Birthday to you both, belated to Sakura Avalon, and early to Princess Sakura of Hoshido.
CCS Sakura's outfit is from episode 65 of the original series. FE Sakura's is from a japan exclusive promotional eShop card. Both were tough to do as effectively due to lack of exposure from both. But I love how this came out!

Rita kind of grew on me after I finished the last pic and I guess she's now "the one". Although in a few cases, it's out of pity, but also cause of how her character is, both manga and anime-wise. I mean, poor Rita (or Rika for you mega weebs out there) got possessed by Sword, can barely swim and was nearly drowned during one of Eli/Eriol's tests in ep. 63. (which actually was the episode I got most of my refs of her from) And I'm sure during other times Clow cards were active, she ended up under its effects with the rest of her friends. Outside, her original japanese VA died years ago. And of course, in the new series, she was practically written out by the choice of having her attend another school away from her old gal pals. Yes, she does appear in Clear Card, but not for very long. This change also interfered with her love life too, since she was no longer with her elementary sensei Terada.
Rita just stands out more than Nikki and Chelsea to me because of all these and I feel despite the magical mishaps, she goes through quite a bit throughout the series. Although I've only just watched bits recently and my memory isn't as good anymore. So I choose you, Rita. You can be my heart's captor for Valentine's.
Anyway, I already did the feathers and stuff last time despite there being quite the heavenly theme that they use for group shots of the girls, and all I had to go on was a pic of her with Terada in a flower field. So I just chose to get creative with some sakura blossom brushes. But I definitely nailed her character in this, no doubt. I also picked her summer uniform so it wouldn't be too similar to Sakura, plus I like how it looks a little more.... well, that and I prefer short-sleeved clothing more myself.

But it's no rush job, I assure you. I wanted to show a character I haven't drawn or been into some love and to also get a bit of a point across. Thankfully this matter never came here which is good.
Anyway, had trouble with someone a few years ago who absolutely loves Cardcaptor Sakura (or just Cardcaptors for me) and some other things and at one point, things got a bit ugly. Not over Sakura but other things, but back then, it did put me off of this series, plus the guy would probably do something vengeful too if I did anything similar to what he liked. But after a few days from today after talking with some close contacts on Discord, I started to feel like I was wrongfully punishing poor Sakura and her series because of the person. She's not to blame for the person's actions. (Also let's NOT get into this because I rather just leave it in the past, so PLEASE DO NOT ASK ABOUT IT!)
So I wanted to show that deep down, I still loved Sakura and I enjoyed the anime, albeit the Nelvana dub. (though the other dub put me off for a few reasons, one of the biggest being I can't stand anyone but Matt Hill as Kero) I wanted to show that love somehow and bring about some closure. What I did was use Hearts Attack... with a hug! (totally unrelated, I know, but it was the best I could think of.)
At the same time, I also want to use this as an example toward other franchises and stuff as well. Not to blame the franchise itself, but to enjoy them without judgement from others. After all, it's not their faults, why must they receive hostility or blame? Why must we close our hearts and minds to what is chosen by their creators? I mean, I'm just tired of seeing that kind of hateful stuff littered around. I'm not say you can't like something or hate other things (cause then I'd sound like that person) but at least accept them. I mean, I don't feel like watching that Clear Card series myself, nor do I feel it was necessary based on certain factors, but if you like it, more power to you, that's fine. I won't judge you over it. I rather not hear you use it to judge or hate on other things. I basically hate the hate from others. There's a reason why the term "Keep it to yourself" exists.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try to find a way to join her inside and give her a big long love hug. <3

I really love this one, mostly cause Serena's pretty much my fave Pokégirl now aside from Dawn. I got a pic of her and Dawn in SUBBs and I wanted to do one of Serena myself. And I threw in Bonnie too cause these two are as close as Amy and Cream are. Heck, Ash and Clemont could be like the Sonic and Tails of the group. Bonnie's too young to wear a SUBB so I settled for the devon scuba gear instead. (both are from same gen too) Oh, and guess Bonnie's suit design.
As for what's got their attention, cute divers and cute pokémon, I'll leave that up to you. ;)

I wanted to do this given how I came up with the helmet and gear and figured either remake or "sequel" to the previous pic I did years ago. That and I'm moving to a new pc afterwards so I wanted to finish this. I think swimming with dolphins is a cliché or something, but I did bring up in the other pic that she wanted to swim with them. Her SUBB model is the generic design pretty much. Might even make this a part of that fic I keep neglecting to do.
After the next pic, I'll start doing other ideas. I just wanted these last two out of the way. ^^;

BUT IT WAS I, DI-- I mean, I wanted to do something different.... although last I remember, I was trying to NOT do another beach or watery pic as I had done a lot of them given my frequency of drawing pics. But when the Costume Pack DLC was announced, I wanted to do something before it released but of course, WayForward drops the news with hours before it goes public! Oh well, think of it as a first day of summer thing now.
So.... compared to her size in the game, those beach balls she shoots are basically the SIZE of herself! I thought, that must be some beach ball if it's that big, it must take forever to blow up! So.... here it is, caught in the act of blowing up her giant beach ball. Magic beach balls? NOPE! Also, what's up with the whole hoodie thing over the bikini? I never got that really. I do think the hoodie idea is hot, but I don't understand it that much.

I'm going to try and improve things a bit over time but for now, enjoy two of my fave Pokégirls in their wetsuits again. (I'm practically done with the suits after this)
Being honest though, a few of my old aussie friends who have had issues on dA (including one VERY obvious issue) are why I made this. No, it's not for them though. But I hope they enjoy it too.

Phew, finally did these, I honestly wanted to to this before anyone else got the idea, I haven't drawn anything Mermaid Melody in a LONG time, so I don't expect to get their hair and eyes perfect. Plus, what better way to hide your secret identity than to do what it is you can't do as yourself? I was thinking of adding Hippo in but I got lazy and really wanted this done. I also had another design for Hanon's suit in mind but when I went to look at a certain episode for refs, I was just like "Nope! Not doing that one!"

Done a bit early but for the 11th anniversary of a game that really got me started down the path of rebelling against popular opinion and undeserved hatred of quite a few games. My path of being a rebel among gamers. If I ever got around to that fanfic I wanted to write about Elise, this was going to be a moment in it. (probably mid to late mid) And yes, I had well intended to have Silver be a part of it, as like an appointed guardian. (That sounds familiar to a certain very big game's main characters ;))
I actually sketched this exactly a year ago for the 10th anniversary but never got around to finishing it. But it took a bit of certain motivation to get me back into this, a.k.a Sonic Forces (Might draw my first character for it sometime) I'm glad for it too, I wanted to draw something with my favorite princess again.
I'd say interpret this as you'd wish but this time, I need to say this isn't exactly intended to be romantic. It's kinda meant to be a royal ball. (or maybe birthday party)

Now I start the Scuba Summer for real. I'll do a concept sheet for the SUBB helmet next with one of my characters. But anyway, Dawn got this newly invented diving gear and wanted to hear with Mat (not me, my character, who I really need to do new concepts of) and Nurse Joy thought of it.

Finally completed after over two months of practice and unmotivation! This is pretty much a scaled down version of my new Youtube/Twitter header. Two of my characters, Mat and Jenna, dressed as Breath of the Wild's Link and Zelda. This was a big challenge for me cause of a lack of refs for the outfits, loads of details and layers to put in, plus I drew my characters with my tablet instead of my other lineart method (which tbh takes just as long if not longer), then finding a proper location within the game to use as the setting and recreate it as best as I could, and even try to give it a mix of my style with the concept art's. Originally I was going to have them at the edge of a cliff AND include Wolf Link, but I just wanted this done.
I dunno but after I finished drawing the characters, I got ideas for their ideal armors/weapons thanks to being too goddamn addicted to the game. MIGHT do it at some time if I have free time and another burst of motivation.... and better use of my tablet.
Apparently listening to Dearly Beloved really sets the mood as well for this. Also, Jenna's fiddling with the Sheikah Slate...... I think she's trying to find a game on it lol
EDIT: Fixed it up and HAD to re-upload it separate! Blurred the grass around Jenna, added the cracks in the front wall, and a little texturing in the back mountains, plus changing my watermark back to the former one since I still use my old alias here.]]>Marine by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:7450f41c-9c72-90f5-d6c7-02176fdff9f62017-02-19T22:54:47-08:00It was just a surprise thing I did for someone back in December but then I looked back and I just loved how it turned out so much, I didn't want to just leave it as a simple sketch. So.... it's done up. She's a character that came up from an rp I did with GoldLinaricquite some time ago, and I love how she turned out in it.

I took a very old sketch I did and decided to work on it in Gimp with a drawing tablet. (Kind of unsure about the Sai trial for now) But I wanted to use something for practice. Plus I REALLY needed to draw Jenna after so long.
For anyone who doesn't know, Jenna is an adopted character from a very old friend (NOT literally) on dA who was clearing out his characters and I asked if I could have her. I may not talk with him anymore but I'm still grateful that I was given her. Her bikini also isn't my design but I like it.

Ever wanted to see the face behind the videos (or pics if you've known me for a while)? Well, this is as close as you're going to get to see me. This was NOT easy, I spent almost a week of all-nighters to get this done digitally! Even longer in the sketching cause I needed a solid outfit to show off as well. Everything you see there I legitimately own, including the gold Wiimote (Skyward Sword best game, haters can go die!) the hoodie (yeah it's covered in black dots and oversized but it was the smallest one they had) and the BotW Sheikah shirt.

Here, have a random Amy, guys. Something to show I'm not dead on here. (I seriously need to start getting more active on here!)
It's actually a really old sketch (over 3 years I think) that I just felt like doing up for "no raisin" and after linearting I felt like trying out for the Sonic Channel style coloring. Not too good as far as I know ^^; At the very least, I know I can still draw Sonic characters.

I became attached to her and I compensated the buyer for returning the rights to her. So... my new character as of now and here she is. I didn't have shading before due to it being a adopt but I managed to do a pretty good touch-up and add shading through selecting areas and applying black to a layer in Gimp set to Darken Only at around 45% opacity.
Name: Lila (Lie-lah)
Age: 14
Gender: F
Personality: Quite curious, usually happy, active very often, not one to take things too seriously
Likes: Freedom and fairness, inventing/repairing devices, ice cream, her retainer/maid/bestie
Hates: Discrimination against others, being restricted herself, spicy foods and sodas
Lila comes from a distant future in which Pokémon populations are very scarce from overdevelopment and other human interferences, and in place, special Poké Balls containing holographic Pokémon AIs are now commonly used, utilizing more of the mechanics used in the main series RPGs, while also removing the risks of harm to the trainers as well as both public and private property damages. The company in charge of the programs and Holo Ball developments is a corporate superpower known as Galactica. Despite the introduction of Pokémon AIs, many smaller groups still try to help restore the old ways by preserving and protecting what few Pokémon remain, with little success as areas they operate in are somehow bought out by Galactica.
Lila herself was born into a wealthy household and sheltered for most of her childhood until she was 10, in which she begged to be allowed out in public. Her parents were objective about it as they looked down on those not in the same social class, but eventually gave in and permitted her the freedom she longed for. She currently attends a public high/Pokémon Trainer's school and joined a private club of Pokémon lovers hoping to work 'under the radar' to protect a small area still untouched by humans. When given free time, she's either casually zooming around with her custom built hoverboard Comet, or with her club playing around with the Pokémon in their secret hideout. At home, she spends a lot of time with one of her family's hired maids who was assigned personally for her, doing activities such as gaming out, chatting, battling with their Pokémon AIs, and even working on gadgets.
One night though, said area was stormed by a group of armed poachers and every Pokémon there was captured. Lila herself chased after them on her hoverboard to one of Galactica's many office branches, but failed to get in because the whole place was under super tight guard. What's worse was her club was being threatened with both shutting down and its members arrested for interfering with official company business. She tried to convince them to fight back, but they couldn't out of fear or being captured themselves. No one else would help either because of both legal matters involving Galactica, and that no one else would believe her.
With no one to turn to, Lila gets a mystery message from someone going by the name "M". Her curious nature leads her to open it, and with it came a mysterious AI codenamed "M" who tells her about what Galactica's really doing: Removing all Pokémon from the picture. It then wireless hacks into one of Lila's digital watches and uses it to lead her to an abandoned bunker underneath the city. There, the AI moves to the private bunker's network and uses equipment there to create a cybernetic suit for her to use, as well as mask her identity with an AR visor and holographic hair color. "M" does warn her that by accepting this, she is effectively becoming a terrorist in the eyes of the law, but she still agrees to infiltrate Galactica and free the captured Pokémon. Thus, her life as a renegade/vigilante by night began.
During her first mission, Lila, under her new codename "Liberator", found herself struggling to find where the captured Pokémon were until falling through a loose vent and landing on a large cage. Inside however she had found two Pokémon, a Riolu and a Pikachu. As she tried to free them, an alarm went off and one of Galactica's execs saw her as she opened the cage. It was life or death now as the exec pulled out a deadly energy weapon to dispatch of the intruder with. With no choice, they ran under they ended up cornered in another room. This room however was filled with caged Pokémon, frozen in fear due to armed explosives on the cages. Lila wanted to disarm them but couldn't without the controller for them. Just as she found it, the door was blown off and knocked her out. Her two Poké pals tried to help her get away but couldn't move her. Riolu tried to use its power to heal her but upon attempting, a burst of energy came from her and got her both free of the broken door. She came to, seeing a bright blue energy around her. Back to her senses, she quickly disarmed the bombs and instead re-armed them in front of her foe with the controller, blowing him away.
Back at base, she was ready to give up in fear of not surviving another battle, but "M" said that without her interference, many Pokémon would have been killed and made extinct. While this made her feel better a little, she still didn't want to risk her life again, or experience what happened to her. Given the description, "M" then told her a tale of a boy from ages past who saved the world many times by wielding the same power, the power that was Aura. "M" insisted that it train Lila to utilise her Aura as well as convince her to continue the fight against Galactica's operations. Lila took some time to decide and eventually decided to continue her secret life as "Liberator", with Riolu and Pikachu as her faithful partners. At one point though, Lila's retainer finds out about her secret and reluctantly agrees to both support her and cover for her in order to keep her secret from getting out. It was tough but the two manage to pull it off if it meant ending Galactica's plans for good.]]>Shantae Xmas by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:99f8ff90-2808-a620-8105-5ddbdbdd9f122015-12-26T04:21:02-08:00Yes, I am not dead, I just am usually super unmotivated and unfocused enough to draw anything. But over the course of my holiday trip, I went and worked on this.
Shantae is definitely a good half-genie girl and of course in true in-game fashion, gets a big chest delivered in the night, and upon opening, contains..... I'm not telling. You have to look closely. ;)
BTW there are three refs here. Can you find them all?
(OK, yes, the fact Shantae was not in Smash due to the fact a lot of voters chose the mother of sexual innuendos is what fueled this..... partly.)]]>(Shantae HGH gallery) Uh oh... by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:f94a5243-25f2-b49e-e68f-8e35b94710f82015-07-08T06:02:44-07:00This is my completed entry for the Shantae Half-Genie Hero fanart gallery. The guys at WayForward prefer if the artists wait until much closer to the game's release to showcase their entries, but I'm putting it up now for a very personal reason... and no, I'm not going to say what it is. All comments about it WILL be removed!
Anyway, this was completed on Feb. 3rd, just over a month from the deadline. I had originally intended a more serious look before with these two and the main antagonist from the third installment in the background, but that one wasn't as good. (I've shown the w.i.p of Shantae alone before but re-purposed it for my Let's Play of the game.) Pirate's Curse so far is my favorite of the series, and I wanted my entry based off that game, but I had troubles figuring out how to make the concept as perfect as I wanted it to be. So after a while, I went with a less serious, more comical concept while keeping their personalities in check. Also took a shot at using Inti Creates' style for the characters. (I bet they're facepalming at how bad I did it.)

But I still made this and put a lot of effort in so I'll leave this up.
Anyway, onto this. I tried to give my all to give it more of its artistic feel with whatever I had in Gimp while giving it my own touch on Aurora. Although my only real flaw is her faery wings. I wasn't sure of the details really included so I'm sorry if they look bland or out of place. I'll definitely be fixing that in the final version.

But I got so far into sketching it I had to finish, even if a week late by when this is up. No more staying up late to do these anymore! >_<; Anyway I tried to make a better night effect, but.... I am unsure if that even looks dark or moonlit enough.
I got four of the main girls from the series (except Iris cause I'm not a fan of her really) together for this year's Halloween and convinced them to take some pics with Serena's little camera. And in case you were wondering about their costumes...
Misty's a scuba diver with toy gear and helmet (and without flippers so she can walk), May's a sorceress (NOT a witch, there's a difference), Dawn's a samurai (also with toy gear), and Serena's a Roman (she's wearing a toga)
I also had an idea involving Misty's 'air tanks' (which you can't see behind her arm) in which they were filled with soap and every time she breathed out, bubbles would shoot up from the tanks like she was underwater. I discarded the idea though cause I want to cut down on that a bit. I was also gonna add some random Pumpkaboo floating around trying to get into the picture but I just wanted to get it done. ^^;

The character was designed by LilacPhoenix on dA whom I adopted it from, so I'm allowed to put it up as I own her.)
Name: Azure Starr (prefers to be called Starr)
Age: 19
Birthday: August 27th
Home: Unknown, but claims to come from an oasis town (Possibly Phenac City in Orre, but nothing's been set right now)
Hair: Short, black
Eyes: Turquoise
Occupation: Traveling belly dancer
Pokémon: Dragonair (shiny)
Starr is part of a small traveling group who have come to Kalos during their world tour. She performs a special belly dance based off the move Dragon Dance with her shiny Dragonair. However some time while in Kalos, Starr decided to leave the group and travel on her own, promising to return with new dance routines.
During Starr's childhood, she lived isolated in a small town in the middle of a desert, and was home schooled until she was 11, so she found it hard to meet others her age. She also never really got to meet any Pokémon because of the climate, but she then was given her Dratini upon her 12th birthday. In fact, it was her Dratini that inspired her to try dancing as the Pokémon liked to use Rain Dance a lot and when they played, Starr would imitate Dratini which made her parents thought she had an interest in belly dancing. So they moved to a bigger town and she enrolled in a dance school, where she got her dancer costume upon graduation. She does have more costumes but she prefers her signature azure veils.
Starr herself is not much into battling but her Dragonair has two attack moves in case she has no choice, sometimes even using them in her dance routines. Her Dragonair knows Rain Dance, Dragon Dance, Aqua Tail, and Dragon Tail. She doesn't like to battle though as she does not want her Dragonair to evolve.
As for other clothing, Starr wears either a deep blue long sleeve shirt (for cooler temperatures) or a white t-shirt with a star, and tight pants with simple slip-on shoes. As for Starr's first name Azure, she was given it due to her eyes being as bright and blue as the clear summer sky. She rather herself be called by her last name Starr at age 8 cause she felt it fit her better.

(meaning not posting a pic I had from the other site) And oh man it took forever to do!
I drew my favorite girl from Kingdom Hearts, Xion (and don't get started on the whole 'she doesn't exist anymore' junk, this is fanart) suited up in diving gear and having some little fish visit her as she rests on a rock.
I sketched this quite a bit ago actually but I never got around to it much cause I was kinda depressed/upset throughout July. But after I linearted and colored Xion herself, I spent HOURS working on the background, and looking for the fish I drew in photos so I'd get them right. (One I actually changed cause I couldn't find a pic matching its design) Plus trying to do stuff like the rocks and seaweed behind it.... I need to work on those better.
Also make a new watermark, and I'm a lot more liking how this one came out. You're gonna see it on all my stuff from now on for obvious reasons.

Made this around the time when Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 were the hype and seeing all the fanart already of the BW2 girl Rosa/Mei (Or Mei Mei-chan as I called her >w< ) dressed as Sailor Moon. So after a while of that, I decided to do the opposite: have Serena dress as her. Sure enough, no one else had done it.
I know it's not as good and there probably are a lot of mistakes, but remember when this was made. ^^;]]>Fennel by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:7f5bb47f-8622-03c0-0d0d-b77a8c72eb9f2014-07-05T00:10:01-07:00Figured I'd upload another old picture I made I think late last year.

Really love how this turned out! But holllllly pi*s, Serena's dress details.... I guess it's fitting it has more detail cause she's the lead character. Also wanted a half spacey, half crystally bg cause of this. Also, Saturn's dress being manga only, very hard to find good refs overall that are accurate enough.
Long story short, our Moon Princess is hosting a royal shindig and Hotaru (as well as everyone else) is invited with a balloon that says 'You're Invited" and (think of this as you will) maybe you'll find a balloon like their's.
(Was done in 2013)]]>Air Balloons by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:9c6b879a-18d1-4366-dc27-ef116a1a2d662014-04-19T14:22:47-07:00Felt like uploading one of my older fanarts of characters I made. Well actually, if you remember from way back then, I had a character named Sparkle. This is her remade into a Water-type Pokémon trainer, and one of her Pokémon, Azumarill.
As for this piece, I remembered some of Azumarill's PokéDex entries stating it has the ability to make air 'balloons'. Yeah, I'm not joking, it says balloons. So I got creative with it. I was originally planning to do Rosa diving with an Azumarill since you can legitimately get one in Black 2/White 2, but I felt like this instead to ease up on the watery stuff I usually drew.
If you're nice and be polite, she'll hand you a balloon for free. ^_^]]>Aqua Elise by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:4551bf9e-ba23-ec2a-f403-f77d994c4f8d2014-04-19T14:02:40-07:00Note: This is an Elise hate-free zone.
My second drawing of Princess Elise. I forget what made me want to draw her like this cause I made the sketch quite some time ago. I also used an anime style from a fanart I saw.... cause I cannot do realism, only some anime styles and anime-ish Disney style. Plus anime makes her more cute. XD
Anywho, I should explain this piece. Elise is at the beach (or the Wave Ocean stage if you wanna get technical) all suited up and stepping into the sea. Some of her advisors aren't really wanting her to go, and you know the rest. I originally wasn't sure what to type, or even was going to add speech balloons. But then it'd just look like she's just winking at us. I would have added more to her diving suit but I couldn't think of anything else except for the orange part from her dress.]]>Elise's Heart Balloon by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:6f72cc3c-a1ad-530d-6d38-4148d00a75f02014-04-16T20:10:58-07:00(Note: This is an Elise hate-free zone.)
My first drawing of Princess Elise. I really love how it turned out. Oh yeah, and if you look at the big tree, I think I found a brush to help simulate trees from anime like Pokémon! I mostly made this for my group to give her love and support. Which is sort of shown by that big stylized heart balloon she has. Secret admirer maybe? X3 Oh and she's in a forest... why? CAUSE I CAN! XD]]>Let's go collecting, Piplup! by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:a17dc316-7012-3183-c2e7-7d3981a8ba012014-04-16T07:00:41-07:00I drew this based off a little fan game of The Little Mermaid I found in which you just collected sunken 'treasures' in a 2 minute time limit. Also in the game, Flounder often blew an air bubble and it acted as a shield for Ariel. So you know where this came from. There was also Sebastian who gave a short speed boost, but I didn't know what Pokémon to choose. I had considered Buizel but she doesn't have him anymore, and I did not want to use Krabby.
I wasn't too sure how to color the tail and shell top at first so I thought of guess what? Yeah, her region's mascot legendaries..... sort of. But I really think it suits her more than black shells and pink tailfin. I also tried to base the bubble she's in on the fan game, but with a little more to it. And of course, the background was looking too plain and overused so I tried adding more to that too.
So.... here you go. If you love The Little Mermaid, go look for the fan game I got this idea from. I don't feel like linking it here.]]>Magic Tea Party by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:87fa3bef-2737-63ea-318d-9e022088185a2014-04-16T02:58:54-07:00lazy background is lazy but I could not for the life of me think of a better background to do.
Anywho, Cinderella's bringing a fancy tea set with her using the Fairy Godmother's magic wand. I did bad drawing the teacups and their little plates that come with them. In fact, I feel everything except Cinderella herself turned out pretty.... lazily done, including the different shading. And I still cannot draw her perfectly in Disney style, I'm too stuck with drawing in anime styles.
Well, enjoy this pretty not too well drawing.]]>Cinderella by matthespeedstarurn:uuid:8690df38-5c00-aee0-72d5-b7ab1731d3552014-04-15T23:01:38-07:00First fanart I uploaded here since I announced I may be coming back. It's also on dA too but I do want to state that I am the artist who drew it both there and on here, hence the little watermark below based on my dA name.
After I bought the rest of her trilogy, I felt like drawing her. I never did Disney style before but I loved Cinderella enough to try it and see how well I do. Although the lips and different shading style did test me a bit.... and yes, I know this has been done a lot already but I wanted to.
I know it's not the foyer of her chateau but you could say this was an earlier time and she was scrubbing her room, daydreaming of a better life, which I shown in the bigger bubble on her fingers foreshadowing the events of the first movie.
I'm just gonna say I do not like doing all the details for backgrounds, but I do need the practice and I need to figure out ways to do backgrounds and other objects better. Just doing part of Cinderella's room was tough and time-consuming. But I'm happy with the result. ^^ Also went back to soft shading for this since it's Disney style.]]>
