I was right. Absol makes a fucking brilliant pirate character. *goes to find some commissioners to have them draw moar*

It does look kind of a bit more...echidna-y than an Absol. Almost like they had sex and had a badass offspring. Yeah. That. The only reason why though is because Absol has an unusual face/muzzle structure, where it's really more flat with a little bump for the nose than anything. xD Anyway, this is awwwweeesome, and I'll be using this as the base reference for my pokesona!

Indeed it does. XD

Yes! That's what that thing is, the species name eluded me so I just said "sonic character". XD And I knooow, I tried but it made it look...cute. And I know you didn't want cute, so I had to scrap the bump and at least give it a slight muzzle, which makes it look a little off. X3 That and the hair looks dred-y.

Awh, that's awesome. C: Glad you enjoyed my depiction of what you said enough to keep it. X3 Makes me feel like I did -something- right, lol.

..cute can still be evil. D: I wanna see it with a more absol-y face and cute... I'll even make a small donation. >:D

You totally did something right. Lemme point out what else: The blade on his head is badass. I've never seen anyone put rings in it. Pose is action-y and awesome. The clothes and other little adornments are totally fitting, too. ^^ AND THE GOGGLES WORKED, I KNEW IT :V

That is temping, however I must decline your donation. XD I'll gladly do it for the fun of doing it. c:

Ohpssh, don't give me a big head now. 8[ -hide- XD

You suuure? :v Ok, if you say so. More practice for you, then! Of course, thaaaaaank you~!

Oh, a good place to look at some interesting absol faces is that pokeporn website, uh...AGNPH or some random crap like that (don't ask me how I know <<). Aaalllllll porn, but hey, references are references. Or wherever you get your inspiration from.

*inflates your ego, makes a mini-game out of it*

Oops I screwed up responded to myself. XD Post is one down~!

You're welcome. XD I'm happiest doing what I love, and I don't think what I love should be paid for at the moment. :B

Ohdear, pokemonporn. XD I'll prolly surf cartoon expressions and pull up some anatomy sheets I have on my hard drive instead, no one leaves this damn house lol.

D8 Heresy I say!

Yo, just out of curiosity, would you ever redo this/do a different sketch of this character? I think somewhere along the past year my request slipped off your mind, which is perfectly ok. :P I was going through my old favorites gallery today, wrapping up old stuff here on FA before I move on.

Anyway, looking back at the pic it's actually pretty sweet, I think. Just a little less scary, though the evil is fine. Cute evil? I don't know, rofl.

Either way, thanking you again as well. Hope the artings of the last year have treated you well.

OHGOD it did. XDD I'm terrible at remembering things if its not in front of my face!

I wouldn't mind trying it again, though you said you may be moving on-? o: Would I be able to toss it at you anywhere else if you're not as active here? I am on DA, if that means anything. XD;

You can still contact me on here. I'll keep an eye on the place until all is said and done. :) I still do highly enjoy your art.
