Did you ever read sprite comics when you were growing up? If so are there any specific ones that you can remember?
I read 'Neglected Character Comix'. Apparently it is also one of the first sprite comics in history. I think it is partially a collection of old chat room in-jokes presented through video game sprites but it was enjoyable to read as a kid. This was my wallpaper for a couple of years.

I love the colors you used in the rockruff drawing. How do you go about coloring like that? It looks so cool

I started with light blue/pink and added darker colors to make it more fun. I like putting 'unexpected' colors together. Purple and dark blue and olive green with a saturated red and brown nearby, why not. Ignore rules and go nuts. The main thing I keep in mind is how light or dark a color is in relation to the colors surrounding it. I wrote more about color here: https://petday.tumblr.com/post/708033934568620033/how-do-you-go-about-picking-the-colors-you-use-in
The colors were partially inspired by Rockruff's regular and 'shiny' palette. But while painting, I had 'Night light mode' turned on in my computer settings by mistake, which makes every color on the screen appear much 'warmer'. I had to compensate at the end by adding a layer filled with the color brown, set to 'Overlay' mode, so that the painting would be 'warmer', even when 'Night light mode' is turned off.
