Special Animation Drawn & Risograph Printed By Zack Lydon

the current design ain’t too hard on the eyes in all honesty but it kind of wacked my wick in with the same thoughts i had regardin hisuian arcanine design concepts, hard to describe solely n text, just somethin that is missing to give it that complete flavor while makin it easy on the artists in 3D factions to puppeteer

hell even these fulfill ¹ / ² the easy puppeteer

my take on Hisuian Growlithes evo!

reposts not intended but will be taken down upon request.

reckoned with myself if a paradox entei actually came out, that i think it would become one of my favorite mons on the spot like plenty of the other prehistoric scarlet creatures,

my son was already underrated enough, but when he sits at the paradox table, the mean girls will eat him alive.

imogen heap is like when you are mind reading in first person and third at the same, heap songs sound entrancing in the same way that being a fairy is enchanting, except you are trapped in the desert of a music box slowly falling in love with the ballerina lost to time, and think about what else around the music box you can find lost to time, until you are lost to the sands of time yourself, it makes falling in love with what slumbers within the life you left behind, and the one you see ahead of you never felt like it was as confusing as now, it’s like that.

graph that's going to piss everyone off but im not wrong

im still thinking abt 3-1's impact on phoenix as a character. because in 3-1 he's so trusting and open and unabashedly friendly until he realizes the truth abt dahlia. and just before dahlia is apprehended, she says this to him:

and after that he.. just doesnt tell anyone anything??? he never did get to tell mia about larry and miles and why he became a lawyer. and he doesn't tell maya either until she literally stops him and forces him to tell her. and he didn't tell maya about miles's disappearance. and he didn't say anything about his involvement with iris at the beginning of 3-5.

and in aa4, that secretiveness is only exacerbated after not only his client but the entire legal system suddenly turned on him. right out of the gate in 4-1, phoenix is very selective with the information he discloses, like when he chooses to plead the fifth and refuses to elaborate on his game with shadi, or when he lies to the judge about his locket (through omission, but a lie nonetheless). and even throughout the game, he never tells anyone about his work on the mason system and he doesn't tell apollo and trucy about their mother.

and not only that, but he works as a poker player!! the entire point of poker is to be secretive and misleading!!! and he keeps up this facade throughout the game, projecting this character of a sleazy, shady poker player, even leaning into the rumors of him forging evidence. all when he's trying to enact generally positive legal reforms!! it's as if he's keeping up this poker face throughout the game, and it only makes him even more secretive and cryptic.

my point is, there's such a stark contrast between the bubbly, emotional, and forthcoming college student phoenix wright and the mysterious, closed-off poker player phoenix wright. and even lawyer phoenix is secretive to a degree!!

and i can't help but think that dahlia's last words to phoenix before she was arrested contributed to that change at least partially. do you think dahlia would have never resorted to murder if phoenix didnt tell anyone abt the necklace? do you think he blames himself for doug swallow's death? he was just innocently gushing about his girlfriend!!! how could he have known it would lead to something like this!?? and if this much harm could have been caused just by telling people about a little necklace, i'd understand why phoenix wouldnt want to talk about his life at all!!

but as much as he's been betrayed or weathered down, no matter how many walls he builds or how he changes, there's one thing that has stayed constant throughout his life as we've seen it, and that's especially apparent with his beanie and locket. his beanie, likely a gift from trucy with the word "papa" stitched onto it, and the locket with a picture of his daughter. both symbols of his love for trucy, just like how he wore the bottle necklace and the sweater made by iris as a sign of his love for her. and if there's anything to glean from these parallels, it's that there's a part of phoenix that never faded away after all those years, that still cares for people so ardently and so strongly and with all his heart. and that's something that will probably never change.

If someone really really wants to get in your house they will get in your house. A lock and any other security device is to deter people that are just trying doors to see if there’s any easy break-ins they can do with little effort. And there are people who do that.

Tbh I don’t think doorbell cams and security systems actually do much. Putting a fake “this house is protected by ADT” sign in front will probably be just as effective as getting an actual security system.

Because if someone really wants to break into your house they’re gonna do it security system be damned and they’re gonna have their face covered and the cops aren’t gonna help you because they never do. All that security stuff is just to deter people looking to do easy smash and grabs. And that doesn’t always work anyways. And if people in your area put cages over their windows or whatever local thieves are gonna be carrying around bolt cutters. Those won’t stop anything unless you’re the only person in your neighborhood with a cage over your window.

Best thing you can do to protect your stuff is to lock your door, make it hard to see what valuable stuff you have in your house, and don’t leave anything outside you aren’t prepared to lose.

hold on i need to engineer an image that will cast 20 psychic damage on a niche group of people

I remembered I redesign the Chikorita line as creepy beets. I like them a lot still.

back in the old days ppl used to carve beets instead of pumpkins for the hollows' eve.

A vaporeon study

Vaporeon is one of my favorite Pokémon. my first introduction to it was in pokemon red, where it looked like this:

(sprites from Red,Green and Blue)

So in my head, vaporeon looked like this:

It was also somewhat like this in the card game too:

with the neck frill and tail looking like soft goldfish fins, with a long snout, very elegant.

But the game's graphics evolved and Vaporeon changed to look more like the Ken Sugimori art. And eventually making the transition to 3D.

None of these redesigns are bad... but... the ear fins... oh the ear fins...

in the original sprite art, they actually looked like ears. and all my life I've been representing them in my art like this:

very pleasing to my eyes, but the reality is, they have never been represented to be like this in the games. That's fine, but what gen 6 did to its 3D model, to me, is murder!

Look at its ear!

Not only is it just a polygon with a flat texture hanging like a flag, if it wanted to represent an ear, it should have been facing the other way!!! like so:

It shouldn't, but this design "flaw" bothers me a lot!

and if we're talking about design, the neck frill looks a lot more like a firm fin now and not as soft, so it really should look like this instead:

It's a water creature, it needs to be hydrodynamic!

IDK folks, this is just my silly opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree with me but I'd love to know if it's just me who is bothered by this.

thanks for reading.
