More coloring pages

"Trick-or-Treat-a"

In honor of Halloween, and because it's cute and it rhymes. Also Chikorita is surprisingly fun to draw? No complaints here!



"Return"

One of my local Pokemon Go friends is quite fond of my coloring pages, and mentioned that if I ever had any of Charmander, Murkrow, or Ditto, she would love them, since those are her son's favorite Pokemon. I had actually been vaguely looking/hoping for some more non-Community Day/non-Pride shirt coloring page ideas, and promptly took her remark as a prompt ;) I could only manage these two in one drawing, but Ditto will be following up shortly in a pic with Mimikyu (that I still need to scan).



"Bi Doof"

Speaking of Pride shirts, here's Bi Doof Bidoof! I'd been wanting to do something with that pun ever since it occurred to me, lol. I am a bi doof, and I own it. My only regret is that the purple stripe in the bi pride flag is such a dull shade, even compared to the navy blue; I really wish it popped a bit more. Maybe I'll re-color the shirt if I manage to find someplace other than TeePublic to take my stuff.



"Trans is Beautiful"

Holy cats, I almost missed this one! Anyway, redsixwing initially suggested Milotic as a subject, since its colors are basically the same as the Trans Pride flag. After some thought, I came up with Gardevoir as one with colors nearly the same as the Genderqueer Pride flag. Since Gardevoir is commonly thought of as a particularly lovely Pokemon, and Milotic is traditionally only available by making a rather shabby looking fish as beautiful as possible, I thought this was a fitting theme for the two of them. I have yet to come up with a Pokemon who is nearly Nonbinary Pride colored, but I'm sure I will sooner or later. (Pachirisu, maybe...? Turn those stripes purple, lean a bit more on the outline...)



In addition to Milotic, redsixwing suggested tying Absol into the popular "Disaster Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Etc" meme. I loved the idea, but hadn't gotten around to incorporating text or anything before the announcement that RedBubble had acquired TeePublic. If I ever find another site to sell through, I'm planning on doing some recolors of Absol for the Disaster Queer shirts.

I had really hoped to have Absol laying down with a paw over its face, as if hiding from the world, but couldn't make the pose turn out right on paper. Still, Petulant!Absol is a pretty good compromise in my opinion.

I think that's all for now. In addition to the upcoming Ditto-and-Mimikyu pic, I've also got a Cyndaquil family portrait I'm working on for November's PoGo Community Day. I've got the rough done already, and really just need to tighten up the lines before I start inking. Hopefully I'll have a new shirts-and-stuff site before I get around to a Totodile family portrait.
