Last couple of days have been way too hot so here's Pandora on the beach

Day 7 of ZX Week, the final day that also marks the 18th anniversary of ZX Advent so the prompt is any Advent character. While I like ZX as a game more, Ashe is hands down my favorite megaman protagonist, and she is a joy to play as. She's such a fun character in so many ways.

Day 6 of ZX Week, prompt was any villain. You know I had to do at least one of the twins. Super proud of how this turned out.

I thought about trying something for the optional life/death prompt with the idea that her old self is dead or whatever but this is fine.

I've been playing through Deltarune, loving it, will probably draw some stuff from it at some point and I made it to the end of ch3 last night.

Jesus fucking christ.

Still beat them though. Even after prepping for it my whole playthrough with stockpiling the Revive Mints it took me like 3 hours and sleeping on it to beat them. Honestly though, despite how fucking brutal it is, even with the Shadow Mantle, I kinda do love the fight. It's a really interesting way to shake up how the game has been handling the Shadow Crystal Bosses so far and it is really satisfying to do when you've finally learned the patterns, even if some do feel like bullshit. Fuck the diagonal box cut and the spiral swords attacks.

So yeah overall get fucked Dess. Here's the loadouts I used btw.

They weren't lying.

Those Wireless Earbuds sure are dogshit

Coraline for Pride Month, she's bisexual so I figured I'd try drawing her armor in the Bi Flag colors. 2/3rds of the way through the month ik but still, for what it's worth have a good pride month.

Been getting into Bionicle and back into general Lego Constraction recently, so I decided to scrounge up the spare parts I had left over and made this thing.

[shinysamurott9]

My want for Bionicles is getting out of hand. I just woke up from a dream where there was an in box sealed Toa Mata Nui at my old school during my brother's graduation, alongside other lego like a set release of one of the Power Miners combo models (which never existed of course).

Apparently I could just take it but some of my family were being pricks about it. Idk what it says about my perception of them that they acted like that in my dream.

My team from my recent Crystal playthrough. Crystal still has a lot of charm, even if I think HGSS is the definitive Johto experience.

[shinysamurott9]

Imagine playing Pokemon Crystal, getting to Kanto and the first thing you do is go try to grab a Lucky Egg, but while you're looking for it the game decides to give you a random shiny Chansey instead...

Couldn't be me.

Ama on Bluesky did this really cute pic of Ashe and Prometheus dressed as Lusamine and Guzma and I was a bit inspired by it.

Hell yeah I'll get in on that, here's my girl Coraline. Her weapon is the Ultra Nebulan Dyads II

To Enter

Reblog!

Optional: Include some or all the info I'll need below if you win. I will DM you for any missing information if you win

Disclaimers

There will be at least 1 winner

I may draw additional winners depending on the number of entries and time available

If I need to DM you for more information and I can't reach you within a few days I will draw a new winner

Borders/Font for the border versions are subject to slight changes. (BTW if anyone knows a good font to mimic the communication device font that would be great!!)

Good Luck!

Extra info below.

EDIT: If you'd like to promote but not enter just put in the tags or in the post body that it's not an entry!

If You Win What I'll Need

Your Cross's name

List of fashion gear/visible gear. Can be in text or a screenshot.

Screenshot of what your Cross looks like. Please note any special features like freckles, hair root vs tip colour differences, etc., that might be hard to see. (My vision is totally great :'D)

If you prefer some details from the original Wii U like hair styling, I can work with that instead

The weapon name and preferably the weapon type too. (Just in case I don't recognize the weapon's name.)

Optional

The Art's name. If you can't decide, you can give me a few to pick from or just let me pick from the Art pool for the weapon. Don't worry about overlapping with other Arts I've already drawn - I can make them unique! (Unless you like everything about it and fine with putting your Cross there instead! Let me know if that's the case.)

A name different from your blog's handle to put in the border

Pictures are very helpful especially if your gear can't be bought from the store. I've cleared all of the main story in the Definitive Edition but haven't unlocked all weapons and fashion gear yet so I might reach out to for more details.

I sure love having to fight the bones

Doing the Gym Leader Rematches to grind levels for my dex in HGSS and Sabrina's pose and design there really stuck with me.

You know everyone always mentions how Spoink needs its pearl to live, but no one mentions how Spoink takes it from a Clamperl

Now one must consider, how does one get a pink pearl from Clamperl?

[shinysamurott9]

Felt like doing some MMZ art so I did a redesign of Cial from the Zero manga. I've mentioned it before but given Ciel's backstory of being a genetically modified child, I think the idea of her having a twin who's diametrically opposed to her in allegiance would actually be really interesting and a neat way to explore that backstory.

I actually did a full larger concept sheet for her as well.

Happy 10th Anniversary to Xenoblade Chronicles X. It started as my least favourite Xenoblade game but over 3 playthroughs it's become one of my favourite games of all time. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for X and Xenoblade as a whole.

I don't have any art ready so here's some of my favourite screenshots from my DE playthrough.
