I picked out some fun pose refs to practice and also draw Brendan in his contest outfits.

Steven and Wallace definitely made Brendan do a photoshoot after gifting him the outfits. They make prints of their favorite photos and, every time Brendan participates in a contest, they hand them out with the same overwhelming enthusiasm that Steven has when he gives cool rocks to random people. It is incredibly embarrassing for Brendan, but he can't deny that he loves it.

The more skin Wallace shows, the more powerful he becomes.

I love him. <3

I'm still in love with Judas, baby~🎵​

Congratulations to Volo for finally making it into Pokemas and doing so at the funniest possible time. Please enjoy this Lady Gaga inspired celestic sandwich to celebrate.

This is still very much a WIP, but I FINALLY sketched the 4th MM mini comic!

The other comics came to me pretty easily, but it took me a while to figure out how to approach this quote. While I do worry that this one might be a little too cluttered/different compared to the other three comics, I'm pretty happy with the result. I had a lot of thoughts about this quote and it was very difficult to squeeze them all into 3 pages. I did my best lol

I drew Brendan in his contest outfits while playing around with some different brushes. And Steven and Wallace are there to provide support, of course. <3

I am still thinking about Hoenn boys, specifically mer!Wallace AU.

I feel like it's been a million years since I colored and finished a piece of art. It's also been forever since I used this softer coloring style. Feels good.

Here are some more AU sketches.

And for anyone that's interested, I'll ramble a bit more about the AU under the cut.

So this AU of course centers around my Steven/Wallace/Brendan OT3 because I love them. It starts off with Wallace saving Steven from drowning (it's cliché but I gotta do it) and, after some shenanigans, he ends up staying with Steven and Brendan.

Wallace is from the mysterious mermaid city, Sootopolis, which is inaccessible to humans (the mermaids and water pokemon guard the underwater entrance and a mysterious air current makes traveling there via the air impossible). For this AU, I'm giving the mermaids whatever attributes allow me to have the most fun. Their tail transforms into legs when they're on land so they can easily blend in with humans and they can lure in, captivate, and briefly control humans with their siren song.

Wallace finds humans entertaining and is down bad for Steven as soon as he lays eyes on him. Prior to meeting Steven and Brendan, Wallace had a history of luring in hot guys with his singing to have sex with them. He also participated in contests for a short time and would usually find his targets at the contest hall. Steven is immune to his singing (Wallace is not happy about this). Brendan is not immune (Steven is not happy about this).

Steven and Brendan pretty much have a similar dynamic to my normal headcanons. They have that mentor/mentee thing going, but Steven is especially protective of Brendan in this au. They both have romantic/sexual feelings for the other but Brendan is too shy/inexperienced to do anything about it and Steven is an idiot.

It's not everyday that Brendan meets a mermaid so he thinks Wallace is super cool and quickly develops a crush. Steven is intrigued by Wallace but doesn't completely trust him.

Wallace wants Steven and initially sees Brendan as an obstacle, but he eventually realizes that he won't get anywhere with Steven if he's not nice to Brendan, so he warms up to him. And then he eventually catches feelings for Brendan too which Steven is not too pleased about.

I'll stop there for now. Hopefully I can draw more stuff for this AU when I have the energy because it's fun to think about and Wallace is very pretty. <3

I did it. I made a contest outfit for each of Brendan's contest Pokemon.

His team is based on the one that I used in my recent AS playthrough. The outfits were a gift from Steven, of course (and Wallace helped). He had them specially made to match their respective Pokemon and contest category. Can you tell which category each outfit is for?

It was super fun playing dress up with The Boy, and now that I have these outfits figured out, I'm going to (slowly) work on creating a little illustration for each one.

Steven/Brendan forehead kiss <3

Urbosa/Zelda neck kiss <3

Another kiss from that kiss prompt list. There's a good chance I'll go back and color this one.

First 2 kisses: https://www.tumblr.com/charbon-et-eau/736360958207852544/i-sketched-a-couple-smooches-based-on-this-kiss?source=share

I forgot to share this when I was uploading all my old volokari art here. This one's from April of 2022. Still one of my favorite spicy ones.

[charbon-et-eau]

Regarding the last post, for anyone that's curious, here are my preferred age headcanons for the Pokemon protags that I've drawn.

Akari is always an adult when I draw volokari. I just prefer a dynamic for them where there's a power struggle instead of an imbalance. Other headcanons are fine, of course. This is just my preference.

With Cynthia, Dawn can be anywhere from an older teen to an adult. It just depends on my mood. I got into this ship as a result of getting into volokari, so I don't have super specific headcanons for them and I enjoy a variety of interpretations.

Brendan is 16 or 17 because an older teen stumbling into a relationship with a sugar daddy and his husband is hot and you can't convince me otherwise.

If any of these headcanons bother you, then you can either ignore them or unfollow/block me.

[charbon-et-eau]

youre fucking proshipping bastard, shipping a child w a grown fucking adults is disgusting

This is the first time I've received a message like this and this will be the only time that I'll respond to it. Any future asks/messages of this nature will be deleted.

I'm assuming that this is referring to the ships involving the Pokemon protagonists (Volo/Akari, Steven/Brendan, etc). I know a lot of people think that the protags have canon ages, but they don't. They never have. You could ask 100 different Pokemon fans how old they think a certain Pokemon protag is and you will get multiple different answers because, again, these characters do not have canon ages. I rarely mention my preferred headcanons for these characters' ages in my posts, so people can interpret the ages however they want. If you look at my art and see an adult and a child, then that's a you problem. And at the end of the day, the ages really don't matter because these are fictional characters and not real people.

If your capacity for creativity is so tiny that you're incapable of imagining these fictional characters as adults, then I suggest you mute the tags for the ships that are upsetting you. You also have the option to block me. If you weren't a cowardly anon, I could've done that part for you.

I'm not sure what you were hoping to accomplish by sending me this ask. It's not going to stop me from drawing and enjoying certain ships. I'm going to continue drawing the things that I like because it's fun and it's not hurting anyone. My advice for you (and anyone else who wastes time sending these types of messages) is to stop seeking out content that upsets you and put that energy towards finding and enjoying content that you actually like. You will be so much happier that way.

I hope you have a nice day and a happy new year, anon. <3

I drew Brendan in a skitty themed maid outfit, but it ended up being really cute and maybe even a little wholesome so I'll share it here.

And now I want to design a fun contest outfit for each of his contest pokemon. Gotta work on finishing those kisses first though.

[charbon-et-eau]

I sketched a couple smooches based on this kiss prompt thing from twitter. Volokari air kiss and Geeta/Rika shoulder kiss to start.

There will be more.

(original prompt list under the cut)

Here's the original prompt list! Taken from here: https://twitter.com/Bettsyversum/status/1606228178715885568

And now for something completely different. Monster girlfriends.

I was digging through some old files and found a cute sketch of Susie and Noelle so I cleaned it up and colored it. I also have another mostly finished Deltarune WIP that I should try to finish in the near future. I don't draw a lot of anthro stuff so drawing these little guys is an interesting challenge for me.

I DON'T KNOW! 😭

I shared the link on twitter when I first made the server, but I don't think I shared it anywhere else, so you probably missed it. I'll dm you an invite link!

It's a pretty chill and small server. Since I haven't been drawing as much lately, it's not too active, but I still chat from time to time. I'm at least more talkative in discord than on any of my social media accounts lol.

If anyone would like to join, dm me and I'll get you a link! ❤️

I realized that I didn't have any emotes in my server, so I decided to fix that.

I made some silly Madoka ones.

And of course, I had to make some matching emotes for my Hoenn boys 💕

I'm having a lot of fun with these! I want to make some matching emotes for Volo/Dawn/Cynthia next.

[charbon-et-eau]

My Giratina idea was probably a little too busy for emotes, but whatever. They're cute. Tasty little celestic sandwich ❤️
