About 4 years ago or so I made a pact to myself, (which I break sometimes) is not to buy any more sketchbooks. I have so many sketchbooks that it'll take years to fill them all. Also it is hard to keep up which drawings are in which books. Since I had extra time, I've been trying to organize my computer files and scan misc. sketches from different sketchbooks. Its a process and a pain, but it will be worth it.

One of the sketches I came across is something I drew a few months ago when I discovered the poke fusions site. I had tremendous fun drawing these.

Check out the PokeFusion | Here |

This fusion thing only has the original 150 pokemon.
I stoped playing after there was like 250 pokemon, I hear these days there are close to thousand pokemon.





Back then it was so hard to draw pokemon. And I was a little show off with being the best kid that drew pokemon from the magazines and imagination. With years of experience now they are so easy to draw.  When I was a kid I got these books from the scholastic catalog, they rocked my world. Besides drawing from these books I would pause the game and draw the characters and backgrounds.



I remember I had a special little pokemon folder that I made. I drew on the cover this giant pikachu and he had one disproportioned huge ass foot compared to the other. I hope I still have it, it'll be hilarious. But I'm not ready to clean my shed yet.

Here is my effed up #pokefusion



I didn't copy the fusion 100 percent. I took elements I wanted and removed some.
Version 1 is with green eyes. I wanted to make it "kinda" cute and relatable. The black eyes in Version 2 look like a creepy endless abyss. Either way I wouldn't want this pokemon in my party because I'm shallow and cosmetic with having to completely like what my pokemon look like.

With the pokefusion I clicked on the button 100 times to see what results I would get. At first I kept on getting extremely ugly ones and I wanted to at least draw something cute, cool, or have limited messed up ones. But if Hitmontuff jumped me in tall grass I'd be scared. I mean this thing doesn't have a mouth to eat. This is basically a blood thirsty punching jackie chan rip off rabbit thing. So not cute.


This was a quick and fun exercise, I rendered this yesterday and today and it didn't take that long. I'll definitely do more of these.   
















These are the ones I drew.






These are some examples of absurd fusions.

This one is the coolest one I got! This one will be a fun one to draw

This had some interesting foreshortening angles to uh "Draw" from.

"Should I be Flattered or Worried?" 

Is one of my favorite lines from Nathan Drake from the game Uncharted 2. 

When chosen and asked by a shady group of thieves he used to work with 

to participate in a risky new heist.  

Normally I'd feel happy to be a part shut-in at home. Along with everyone this pandemic has been extremely difficult. Its either you get an overstimulation of being around people or the other end like myself when one is completely alone and isolated, besides text and phone. Besides the grocery store clerks I haven't had a real conversation in person for 5 minutes in like a month.

My life has gotten a glimpse of awkward lonely cat lady except the part of forcibly talking to a clerk, besides the fact I know how to keep in touch electronically. Well I could go see my dad but being around him its mentally draining and he's a sociable hermit with ADHD that talks too much. That would be an overdose of stimulation.



For as long as I can remember I never had as much energy as the average person does.
Since kindergarten and even in college i'd always fall asleep in class; I was ninja to the point I could sit in the front row, sleep for long periods of time and not get caught.

It so happened just right before quarantine my treatment for my auto-immune disorder changed.
Anytime my treatment changes I usually feel like crap and my energy is strained and drained even further. Its been even more of a struggle to be productive and not fatigued or brain fog.  Hopefully my Doctor will get back to me this week.

I can only do what I can and work on things slower and take it a day at a time. Doing anatomy studies helps my focus and endurance. I keep these drawings loose and don't over analyze. I went back to simplified basics and got my Bridgman anatomy book out. I'm not sure which book it is because the cover is worn and gone. Usually I prefer Andrew Loomis studies which are more detailed. I choose Bridgman because I don't want to be too hard on myself.

Like most I've been watching more tv. The show I was watching was Seth Myer's Late night show.
Fun Fact: Trevor Noah from the Daily Show has the best comedian impersonation of Trump out there. 




I found it helps when people text or call me to keep me awake. We all have to keep each other motivated and encouraged.
Hang in there. Take Care. Stay well, Strong and Drink plenty of water peeps. -K
