Boo!

Happy 2025! and 2024, and 2023, and 202-

It's been about four and a half years since I last logged into here and @ask-rockabunny (insane to think about, I have since lived a whole 1/5th of my life in that time, including having graduated both my undergrad and postgrad studies), but I thought it'd be nice to swing by and say hello on the offchance anyone I used to know through this hobby is still around!

I don't really know what I'm doing with this post, so I suppose I will use it to wish you all well, whatever walks of life you're now pursuing :]

I can't promise that I'll make any attempts to revive this blog in any capacity, but hey ho - I've got the log-in details saved on my browser again, so maybe something will possess me to try at least posting or resharing art to here every so often :P

If you'd like to stay in touch, or if you're a new-age pokeasker and wondering who the hell this fossil is, then you can find me on my personal tumblr account ( @polybrow ) or on my bluesky! I have other socials too, that all go by some variation of polybrow or polybrowmusic

Oh, and before I forget: I decided to draw older versions of Emerald and Bonny the other year (back in 2023 i think, which doesn't feel long ago at all), so I figured I'd share them both here too! Bonnie's gone on to be a fashion and textiles major, whereas Emerald is sticking to her roots and pursuing a fine arts degree.

(ignore that bonnie's name is now spelled differently)

anyhow, was nice catching up again. may see you all soon! maybe hopefully before 2030 :0

WOAAAHHHHHHHHH

HI

I’ve not touched this blog since like 2018 woah

I’ve not touched Tumblr in general since 2018 lol

thinking of doing a hard reboot of this blog, and then maybe picking up @ask-rockabunny again

but Uni exists and will surely come to bite me in the butt when I’m getting back into it

for the time being, if you wanna maintain some level of contact check out my Twitter (https://twitter.com/polybrow)

but yeah, expect the cobwebs to be dusted off of this blog soon! maybe! i dunno

[ask-pokepalettes]

Decided to draw a simple headshot of an old/unintroduced character as a way of getting back into drawing.

I used some old gift arts as reference bc the only ref I had of them was from like 2015/16 aa

[ask-pokepalettes]

Hi!

I’m gonna try and pick up askblogging again sometime soon. The past few months have been real busy for me and I’ve had little time to draw, meaning I’m a teeny bit rusty with drawing. I’m gonna try and get back into the swing of things soon though as I’ve finished one of my major college projects and should have a lot more time to draw!

I will return eventually (although I’ve prolly missed out on a lot of stuff already aaa)

new Pokésona of sorts!

Their name’s Arietta and they do musicy things

[ask-pokepalettes]

hi folks!

very very sorry for not being active here or on ask-pokepalettes at all, but over the summer I’ve been planning out my plots for both my blogs!

this blog will be more picture-based whilst pokepalettes will be more video-based, but don’t be surprised if I decide to do video work here too!

one issue is that my tablet pen is pretty much almost broke at this point, and it makes anything other than lineart (which I struggle to do anyways :P) a pain in the butt to do.

So, as a way to try and get some cash to replace it, who thinks music commisions sounds like a good idea?

I’m not sure on the prices/limits yet but I’d probably have the lowest price to be about £2 or £3 for short pieces and the highest being somewhere around £10 for long pieces or complicated arrangements/compositions.

If you got any feedback, then just message me on my personal blog @polybrah!

[ask-pokepalettes]

new pokésona ref!

[ask-pokepalettes]

simpler reference of a pic I posted on my personal :D

this chara’s probably gonna be incorporated into the blog in some way :P

Tired Emo Child

one ref down, several hundred more to go!

[ask-pokepalettes]

updated the buns ref!

(just noticed that I put two N’s in “Venessa”, I’ll change that when I put her ref on her page!)

[ask-pokepalettes]

I’m a sucker for breaking promises.

hi folks!

sorry for not updating the blog at all this summer like I said I would.

I’ve been procrastinating and working on dumb side-projects all summer, but I’m going to hopefully work on something big-ish in time for near the end of this year.

tl;dr I’m going to try and do small updates here and there but I’m gonna work on a big thing to kickstart both this and ask-rockabunny off again!

A screenshot from a bigger drawing I’m working on :D

[ask-pokepalettes]

(New-ish sona!)

Name: Lapis / Pinkachu

Gender: female

Likes: various foods, travelling, fashion, music composition and performance, music in general, cool or mild weather

dislikes: when it’s too hot or too cold outside, untidiness/dirtiness, hurting others in some way shape or form

Occupations: enjoys cooking and working in a kitchen setting, composes/arranges songs, aspires to have some involvement in the media industry.

Misc. info:

Despite the nickname of Pinkachu, her fur is more of a rose-gold color, having a slight metallic glossiness to it. In formal situations, she will act formal, but is talkative and giddy (possibly obnoxious to some) otherwise, always willing to crack a joke; whether it’s a good one or a bad one.

They will be shy around new people and take compliments poorly from new friends or strangers, but acts her usual self when around long-time friends or people they feel safe around or trust. Doesn’t show extreme distaste to those they dislike, unless it’s with a passion, in which it’ll probably be made clear for you to leave them alone. If they’re angry, make them laugh and you’ll be on good terms again probably.

small hiatus until exams finish

I’ll continue my reboot once I get exams and such out of the way with. Sorry for taking so long with stuff! :P

[ask-pokepalettes]

Bun-Bun with 11 needs to happen now.

Gives me more excuses to draw characters in different clothes :P
