Look guys, it is good to engage with people you don’t agree with 100% politically on occasion. This is not me telling you to try to befriend neo-nazis. I mean, as a leftist, sometimes you’ve got to meet a middle aged lukewater democrat where they’re at and try to open a dialogue to help educate them on issues and discuss your beliefs. If someone seems receptive to listening and learning, that is a great chance to speak and teach. I know it’s fun to make fun of the libs but sometimes ill-informed but well-intentioned Facebook liberals have had propaganda shoved down their throats for 50 years and just need someone to explain the issues to them in a way that is kind and not condescending. It’s not your job but it is nice, it is a nice thing to do and it is nice to try to treat others with understanding. This is a good time to do that, there are a lot of people out there who are frightened and confused.

#235. Smeargle live in groups, each with their own color of paint. They enjoy combing and preening their tails to be their favorite brush shape, and are more likely to pick shapes other Smeargle don't have. Together, they make full masterpieces.

Design process undercut

So this guy was a bit of a ride to design. At first, I decided to base it off lemurs, because I wanted to make smeargle an animal with a long tail + its more monkey like body. So I started studying lemurs

And then i realized that fuck, grafaiai exists LOL. thats literally a lemur aye-aye. So i had to pivot, and I considered other animals like coati and even just giving up and making it a dog like a bull terrier, but then I was talking to a friend who reminded me of kinkajous. and then it all came together. i also took the time to do some design studies for grafaiai, but you wont get to see that until i finish that design innit

After that, there wasn't much to worry about. Smeargle is a simple design and I kept most of it simple, with just adding some countershading to the body and some extra paint spots. The way the tail works is so that they're still able to grab on branches and use it normally, so the ink fur cuts off at the end and is only present on one side

internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
