Something just occurred to me, back during Gen8 speculation, when we hadn't seen Eternatus yet, but knew it existed, I was hoping that Leon would have been our main villain, that he would be a fraud that awakened it to fight for clout when he was exposed. (And still think it would have fit better with the sports theme than Rose's weird "energy crisis in a millennium" thing.) And even during early Gen7 speculation back before anything had been revealed about Alola, recall theorizing with a friend about potentially getting a villainous champion in SM.
Well, it's been hinted that Kieran will be the champion of the BB Academy League, and it's likely that he will be a potential threat in the next storyline due to his grudge against the player, I don't think beating him as the champion will fix anything between us. And while I don't think he'd do anything too extreme on his own, I still feel it's possible that he could be manipulated by an outside force, like be it Briar convincing him to help her awaken Terapagos, or if the possession theory is true.
They're killing two birds with one stone over a few things in the games I've wanted for years between the rival who potentially turns into an antagonist out of resentment towards us, and a villainous champion:

I just noticed I never showed off this one art I did while making the most recent chapter of my webcomic. I'm tryna do these lighting tests to get better at doing lighting and stuff for my comic, IDK if it helps or not but it probably is useful at getting more cohesive color schemes. I'm trying to not pick colors super arbitrary anymore and stuff like i did in early chapters. I think its kinda sorta paying off.
I'm using cliping masks and blend modes recently to make quick and eazy lighting. useally its a few on the characters to add light and shadow basically I
>clip the layer with the blend mode to the layer that contains the characters
>use airbrush to add the color (gives a nice subtle gradient)
>use layer mask to erase the parts I don't want (almost always on the shadow layer) you can also just erase it on the layer if you don't know about layer masks or if its not in whatever software you use but with layer mask if you fuck up you can undo it
>add a layer or two with a subtle blend mode to tie the image together (useally one that can effect the pure black lineart like screen or hard light)
personally i think it really enhances the scenes it makes it feel more atmosphery, the orange lighting looks so good on Leon's hair mmmm (also just realized i fogor to color Leon's eyes and mouth aaaaaa)
Also while showing off this art because this basically turned into a big behind the scenes post it also made me feel like showing off this ref sheet which i never have actually done before now that I think about it. (i ended up simplyfying the bandage on Red's face for the comic, this does make more sense as a bandage for a serious injury compared to the actual one looking like a shitty band-aid but its distractingly detailed and it would be annoying to draw 50 times)
normally I also draw a back veiw but I was lazy and these outfits are pretty straightforward anyway i'm sure I'll never forget to draw a back veiw in sceneroes where it is important (forshadowing~)
maybe I'll show more refs at some point in the future lol tho some are pretty old and bad (if yall want me to show any in particular I probably can)
anyway this was originally just gunna be the first image but turned into a sorta rant tutorial how fun, should i make more posts like this, who knows, if people find it intresting maybe
