I finally finished the stickers and I had so much fun drawing them all. I actually love them so much, I can't even pick favorites because it'd just be all of them
I may make more in the future, but for now I'm pretty satisfied c:
This piece of fanart is my favorite for a couple reasons; it's the first piece of fanart I ever drew for the Sun and Moon Show, and, it got featured on the Sun and Moon Show for a fanart reaction video. I recently decided to redraw it, and I had quite a lot of fun with it. (Left is the redraw and right is the original image from 2022)
I will have you all know, I am drawing Dazzle and Jack decorating Earth's wheelchair with her as I speak
So before I settled on the design I used for Snapdragon there was another design. I actually changed her design from her last one to the current one because I thought it fit her name better, but after receiving artfight attacks of her old design I'm starting to reconsider her design and might go back to the old one ^^'
For reference, this is the previous one
Hello, I'm Mooclipse, or Moo for short! I'm hoping to start a story with my two characters Snapdragon, an ancient mew, and Hex, an ancient mew clone! I'm pretty new to all this, so I apologize while I get used to how things work ^^'
The mew in this post is my mew/pokemon sona by the way, just so there isn't any confusion.
I haven't been keeping up as much with the LAES, but I adore Earth and Dazzle, plus Pollux and Nebula seem interesting too! Below I tried to write a note for each of the characters I drew:
• I find Earth's desire to help and be there for her family, as well as her ability to set boundaries when necessary, to be admirable traits of hers. Her recent development of chronic pain sounds interesting too, and I'm curious to see how she learns to re-navigate the world and adapt to her situation. Apparently, the recent episode where she makes her promise with Sun was a big deal and some people didn't support it, but Earth has ever reason to do what she did. Between the betrayal of learning the truth behind her father, Nexus' descent into madness, and Lunar's spontaneous attack, it's no wonder she'd feel some rocky trust to those around her. The current Moon who's around isn't even the Moon she grew to know, and it'll take time for her to understand him and trust him to the same level as the rest of her family, and she mentioned in the video too that she was thinking of making the same promise with Solar. Even if she doesn't go through with that promise to Solar, Sun being the first, and possibly only, person she makes that promise to makes sense. Sun is, if I remember correctly, the first member of the family she met, it wasn't even Nexus. It's not that she doesn't trust her family any less, but she trusted Lunar to not hurt her, she trusted Nexus to not hurt her, she trusted her father to not hurt her, and look at what happened. She has every right to be wary right now, and her decision to make that promise to Sun is completely valid.
• Dazzle has easily been a favorite of mine since she's been introduced, and I don't think she'll ever lose that placement. Her naivety, backstory, childish behaviors, and unconditional love/care just make her too hard not to love. One of the videos featuring her that's at the top of my mind lately is her comforting Sun after Nexus' death. She doesn't fully understand why Sun is hurt, or what about him is hurt, but she tries so hard to make him feel better in all the ways that help her. I can't even put into words how much I love that episode. The episode where she meets the beast is also sticking out to me. It's both sweet and heartbreaking her situation with Neptor. Like I said, I haven't been keeping up as much as I'd like with the LAES, but I believe at that point she had been informed of Neptor's death, yet she doesn't seem to understand what that means, and it makes sense! She talks to Neptor like he's still alive, and even says that if she could live in the walls of the Daycare for so long, then of course Neptor must be living in the ground. Of course we know that's not true, but her logic makes sense from her pov and I like that, as heartbreaking as it is to watch though </3 And her worry for the beast, she wasn't scared of it or even had a thought that it might hurt her, instead she was worried if it was ok and if it was hurt. I just love her character so much and whether she gets reunited with her father and stays with him, or she stays with the celestial family, or some kind of compromise between the two happens, I wish the best for her.
• I'm not as familiar with Pollux and Nebula, which feels bad to say, so I sadly don't have much to say about them, but I'm certain they're just as wonderful of characters that I would like to go back and learn more about.
Kat, I think your story telling is lovely, and I adore the characters you voice act. I'm sorry that people in the community can't see that and decided to hurt you, you and all the other female voice actors don't deserve it. Whatever happens next, thank you for your contribution to the story and the patience you had with this community to hold your ground this long. <3
To save from any confusion I wanted to mention that the character featured in all four drawings is my own, Star. She's a bit of a self-insert that I wanted to use to express my support, I hope that's alright.
I love combining my two biggest interest. I saw maialuna came up with the idea of Mimic Eclipse as a mimikyu and desperately needed to draw it- The move set and description was an after thought I didn't originally intend to add but I had fun c:
Remember when I said I've been rewatching sams and recently got past the part where Sun kills Bloodmoon. Yeah it gave me an excuse to draw this scene :)
Oh and the reason Sun looks slightly different in this drawing compared to my last one is because some of those design choices happen due to lore that happens later (mainly after Sun uses star power)
I cannot escape pokemon, it has a grip on me.
I've wanted to make a trainersona for a while and finally got to it. I like to think I'd start of as a trainer traveling to different regions to meet new pokemon, and then later on decide to become a pokemon professor who studies shinies (and maybe legendaries?)
Most of my pokemon have names; Spirits the female absol, Lumi the shiny male umbreon, Wynter the female alolan vulpix, Tinker the shiny female sylveon, Moonstone the shiny male dusk form lycanroc, and Piko the female pichu. Still working on a name for Silvally. Either Tinker or Lumi I think would be my first pokemon, mostly because they're both based on pets I've had irl- my current black cat named Reaper and a black and white cat I used to have when I was younger named Tinkerbell.
Spirits is based on an absol I have in pokemon sleep, it was one of the first pokemon I got not long after the app came out! Although I didn't draw one, I think I'd also have a snivy, since one of my first memories of pokemon is from getting a toy snivy figure from a McDonald's happy meal. Might honestly swap out Piko with said snivy, not really sure why I included Piko other than reusing her from an older drawing (that I've been swayed from pikachu from the show since I've been watching it lately ^^')
While I'm at it might as well share some older art with my trainersona at the time not yet considered trainersona. First one was with my at the time main pokemon sleep team, which is where Spirits comes from, and the second one was with pokemon I at the time wanted to have if pokemon were real, which is where Pikos design, Wynters collar, and Tinkers marking (although barely visible on the recent drawing) came from.
Komainu (growlithe) and Nepheli (togetic) are both fully evolved now too, since the pokemon sleep art was made a few months ago.
Ok I need to stop rambling about pokemon-
I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that all it took was a toolbox. A toolbox of all things. Imagine being elusive for years, I think he started(?) the creator council, survived Ruin's creator purge, tormented his creations for years while they were unable to stop him, and Solar just strolled on in with a toolbox and clobbered him to death. I mean yeah the creator came back but still, I find it pretty hilarious that all it took was a toolbox.
I don't have any new years art to share, but I do have my last drawing of 2024 ^^
