Bryan settled into the stomach once things had calmed down inside. From the initial churns that it provided once Fowler had eaten him, to the shaking of the giant as he walked about, He let out a deep and happy sigh, just appreciating his new position within his pokemon.

Trapped within Fowler's belly, he was completely at peace. Despite the smells that wafted about the place with his lunch digesting around him. Bryan knew he was safe in here though. He trusted the bird to leave him be while he was in here, despite how often people have met their end inside of this very organ.

The heat had a comforting intensity, amplified by the little fiery wisps that floated about within the giant beast's stomach. He wondered what they were exactly. He knew that they didn't burn him at least, it was like stroking the mane of a ponyta. They did provide ample lighting within the stomach though, floating about and around to show the streaks and shreds of chewed and crushed fish meat, destroyed in the beak above. Showing the way it simmered and bubbled there in the chemical bath that reminded Bryan of what this place was for.

His toes played with the stringy bits of ramen noodles after he sank his legs into the mess, crushing them and helping Fowler work it down. In that moment he quietly fantasized about how easily things could change, and that in just a few short hours he could be an unrecognizable mess caking that stomach. All it would take to make that reality happen would be for him to ask Fowler. The blaziken wouldn't mind, and probably not even hesitate.

Conversely to reason, that thought comforted Bryan as he laid back into the stomach wall, closed his eyes, and just enjoyed the nap that this oppressive, comforting environment helped ease him into.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite commissions ever. Y'all have probably seen the other pieces that I commissioned from  h-hawkenstein and I just haaad to get a fully painted image when he opened commissions again.

Enter Fowler and his glorious golden guts, a trait that he shares with one of my favorite characters of Hawke's. I'm blown away by how messy, slimy, and how wonderfully shaded this gaudy belly is, but one thing I wasn't expecting was just how cozy it looked! So I asked Hawke to make two versions, this one being the safe one.

They were a blast to work with and I loved every moment of the process! God I just wanna keep gushing about it but I shall refrain ;u;. Anyways, I hope you guys all enjoy it as much as I am, because then there's a helluva lot more happiness in the world!
