So we used to have a picture of all our OC's up in our lounge, one of those wholesome walmart 4 frames. It had hand drawn pictures of our characters i made and gave to coral at least a decade ago. We both loved em when i first made em, OC memory lane and all that. But as late, I was getting embarrassed of the art quality so i took em down.

It only took me like five seconds of not having them on my wall to want to put them back up. Then only a few visitors doing that ... sidelong glance you get for having your nerd shit on the wall before i took them down again

Thus this picture of the caravan was born. A little more taistful and a better representation of my art when strangers come into our house and JUDGE ME! OH GOD STOP ITS SO EMBARASING!!! I DID THEM IN FELT MARKERS AND THE LINE ART WAS SO MELTY TT wTT Im a real adult I swear!!

While i drew this, I was thinking about the RP's coral built for me to play in, and Nai's in character Cannon. There is a fuck ton of it, but I felt initially that no one would give a hoot about something so... uh... I dont know. Ive had a friends make fun of me for always wanting to talk about what I was up to in my Rps. = w =;

This caravan has been my home for the last 12 years. I don't just mean that in cannon, like actually 12 IRL years. When I first became friends with  corillion I had no idea that we would spend like... a million years role playing in a anthro Pokemon setting. Years later however, here we are, grown ass adults still pretending to be pokemon. Some part of me knows I should be shamed, but fuck that guy.

This picture is a redraw from ONE MILLION YEARS AGO, YES I AM OLD NOW, where ive modded the original pokemon imagery to suit our personal IP, Galleon. Our favorite setting, and one that we have been roleplaying in for almost as long as the pokemon setting in its various incarnations. Despite RPing in both places for the last decade, the caravan has never been in galleon before this picture. Which is actually... quite an over site on our part ^^;

Smashing our pokemon cannon into the galleon time line would be kinda weird, but after this picture, im kinda keen to try. ^ w ^



Canonically speaking, the caravan originally...hmm... actually I cant really remember when and how we came across it. Its been that long. I think Coral and Nai made it, woodsman style. (previously Nai and Coral had been bumming around in FFTA's ivolice, but the book ejected them into the pokemon world for being too OP as I recal)

Most of that time was spent as a traveling band. The right side flipped up and out into a stage and they would throw parties at random places, and occasionally get pushed out by the odd officer jenny. > w <

It was actually really hard to pick what incarnation of the caravan to draw. There is a mod of our caravan where a tech friend got their hands on it after it got damaged. The upgrade gives it spider legs instead of wheels which is mostly how i remember it. A kind of... Howls moving castle, quaint cottage on hightech mechanical legs. As you might imagine, the caravan has seen its fair share of junk like that.

Its seen its fair share of mods, and now that its in Galleon, i look forward to seeing it turned into a airship XD
