>>56482609God I fucking love that artist too, they draw the perfect Paldea friendgroup harem/polycule. Everyone is so on model and in character.
I really wish more artists drew them like that, because I always felt like there's this weird tension between everyone in the group that seems ever so slightly romantic or even sexual sometimes. Like in an "awkward teenager who can't express their feelings well" kind of way I mean. After all, they are all troubled, lonely teens living away from their parents at the academy, and they have a special connection to each other because of the unique, almost traumatic experience they had together in Area Zero. So I think it's only natural that they would... get involved with each other in some way, you know?
Anyway, I digress... do you know for sure that the artist is a woman or is it just a guess? I'd guess the same but you never know.
