Alternatively, LMK Sun Wukong's fashion sense in a couple thousand more years.

Concept pages explaining the process (primarily the drawing process) behind the Ingo fanart I made.

I love concept art and seeing other people’s sketchbooks so I wanted to make my own.

Galaxia! The sword of the gods! The legendary...twig?

At this point it's a mixture of laziness and amusement that I draw Galaxia as nothing more than a squiggle.

More instances of Galaxia the twig:

This is probably the most angsty thing I have ever made. My angsty inner twelve year old is appeased.

Scarecrow - "Someone's gotta take care of the @#$% birds."

You may need to click on the image for better resolution.

Explanation of some of my thoughts under the cut:

This piece is about change, courage, and danger.

The wheat has changed from green to gold. Similar to how Cole Cassidy has undergone change. From ranch hand, to Deadlock gang member, to Blackwatch operative, and now he's part of a recalled Overwatch. Even his name has changed, from Jesse McCree to Cole Cassidy.

Additionally, the wheat is about to be harvested for the benefit of others. However, carrion birds have come to pillage it for themselves.

Likewise, in the current narrative, the world is moving towards peace but antagonistic forces, like Talon or Null Sector or good ol' corruption, threaten that.

Cassidy has seen these forces burn the world to the ground before. But this time, he's not going to let them win. Like Winston said, "Someone's got to do something."

TLDR - Cole Cassidy is a scarecrow AND a field of wheat.

An addition, brought on by reactions to the previous post.

It was a verrry exciting day at Gear Station. (Poor Emmet).

"Are you waiting on a train?"

You may need to click on the image for better resolution.

Some context for the image under the cut:

It was common for Pokemon and items to slip through the space-time distortions. What made this occasion memorable was that an entire train station platform slipped through during the night.

Akari went to investigate when she heard the report. Despite it being early in the morning, she wasn't the first one to arrive. Ingo was there, sitting on a bench, deep in thought.

"Hey, Ingo," Akari greeted as she sat down beside him, cradling her sleeping Rowlet, "Are you waiting on a train?"

"Good morning, Miss Akari," Ingo said, blinking as if waking from a dream. "I'm afraid no trains will be coming into the station today. The tracks stop after a point, uncoupling this station from its sister stop."

"Maybe they'll be reconnected one day? After we sort out this whole space-time distortion stuff."

"That would be the most favorable outcome, yes."

Ingo relapsed into his thoughts, a shadow cast over him. A hush fell over the trio.

When the sun rose far enough into the sky to burn away some of the fog hanging around the station, Ingo finally stood up and readjusted his worn out hat.

"Let's prepare for departure, Miss Akari! It's an excellent day to make tracks in your journey."

"Yes, let's!" Akari sprang up, eager to start the day.
