>>47433142My characters just... come to me, design wise. I do futz around with certain elements (Ming-Ming originally had big hair puffs, but they've not only grown more floofy in certain artstyles, but she's also featured with drill hair as well) but 9 out of 10 times the character just sort of comes to me, and I do pixel art to really chistel out what I want.
This is a character a friend of mine drew, Kazuki! I shared him before, but he's a grunt who decided he's done with being a grunt, wanting to form his own crime syndicate instead. His trials and tribulations towards this goal has been rough, what with having a Munchlax who really puts pressure on his wallet, getting involved with the death of a beloved trainer (and now housing her Comfey), but each gig he goes on, he tends to come back with either big cash or valuables he can convert into cash.
He's also fun because, since his idealogy is using Pokemon as tools, his core team is intentionally small, trading Pokemon out whenever they served their purpose.
