Pokemon Now and Then - a Pokemon 5e Adventure

Some of you may already be aware, but I'm a GM for two 5e games, one of which happens to be a Pokemon 5e adapted adventure. As it happens, I'm also That GM that puts an insane amount of time into art for the game to make it come alive for my players.I have amassed some art here - some that you may have seen, and some which you may not have! It's a little bit of everything, and I plan to share more if people are interested.This world i...

Are you a $20 a month Patron? You get an art!

Hey, it's that time when you can request a full-body black and white art piece of just about anything (with some caveats).RULES:- characters must have a visual reference, YES even if I've drawn the character before, even if it's easily google-able (Even something as recognizable as 'Mario' has tons of different costumes and styles, please don't make me dig for the specific one you prefer.) You can give me descriptions of a...

Happy New Year!

December Monthly Requests are here!

One More Turn Around The Sun

Dunno what I was doing here, but I figured we were due for a sad Steven sketch, so here's a patreon exclusive one!I promise I'm working on the new comic! Just taking a lil break for new year's.

S4, EP31: Forget Me Not

Thanks for your patience everyone! The next few episodes will be shorter in length, but hopefully just as fun and fulfilling. I'll probably release them all separately although they're meant to be a part of a larger overall episode. :)

S4 EP30: A Scout's Honor

Hey guys, long time no see! Thank you so much for your patience with me. I've been quite busy with my IRL stuff, as usual, but I think I'm going to be able to get back into the swing of things here.I was thinking of breaking this comic up into two parts but... I think I'll just post it as one. There's not enough in here to have a clear breaking point.If you've stuck around this long, thank you THANK YOU! Your support means eve...

Kanto - Now and Then

I've been quite busy lately - opening my commissions and getting sick at the same time didn't quite help that - but I did want to at least let you guys know what I've been up to!One of the projects that's been going on in the background this whole month is a whole set of aspects for a little Pokemon TTRPG game. Namely, I redesigned the Kanto map to push it a bit into the future and also designed a new Professor character and some ...

S4 EP29: Poised to Persuade

Thanks for reading! Was this a filler episode? Kinda! Did I have immense fun with it anyway? Yes! Will Greg ever recover emotionally? Maybe!Anyway, back to the drawing board for me.

August Monthlies: Done!

Sorry for the holdup, I had to take a little bit of time to get over a fever. Attached are the monthly requests for $10 and $20 tiers for the month of August. If I missed you somehow, please let me know as soon as possible!plus bonus:

Trainer Steven - all grown up!

Is Steven a mob boss? Not explicitly... but I can see him being the head of a Pokemon Contest organization - something glamorous but also dangerous.He SEEMS like a bad guy, but when you meet him outside of battle (when he's not turning around in a spinny chair with ominous underlighting while holding Carbink in his lap and monologuing) you realize that he's the type of trainer that dotes on his Pokemon to the point of ridiculousness, and ...

The Mighty Ninetails

"But Cay-leb, none of us even HAVE a Ninetails!"Alright, look. Sometimes, I get the Poke-bug. I go back to my roots and obsessively build fantasy pokemon teams for fantasy DnD characters and create a fantasy crossover AU and draw a whole 2 pages of comics in the manga style for them.Sometimes.I can't promise it will continue but uh. I REALLY liked how this turned out.

Steven AUniverse.... POKEMON AU!

Some people bugged me a few times about this in the past, and I've just never been able to settle on a solid team for Steven but something came over me and I decided to go for it.This is young Steven's team! He only has the four present because he's a beginner trainer. He's very strategic, and careful about his battles, but ends up losing a lot anyway because he doesn't want his friends to get hurt.Maybe someday I'll do an...

S4 EP28: Reaching Back

Steven is getting bolder, demanding things... :)This time it paid off.

SPOILERS for ep27! - an exclusive peek

Iiiiit's Smokey! She's here, ready to party, and probably cause some trouble.If you're not keeping up with early release episodes on the $2 tier, you may not know it yet, but you'll get to meet this gem soon. Her design was shockingly easy to nail down.

August Month Patreon Requests are OPEN!

Thank you so much for your patience while I get my computer stuff figured out. I wanted to apologize once again for the trouble it's caused.With that in mind - let's hear your august requests!Please remember:- Requesting via email (chekhovs.owl@gmail.com) or Discord is fine, but when you reach out to me, tell me your Patreon username!- Please give me visual references where possible, yes even if I've drawn that character for you befor...

S4 EP27: Team Effort (part 2)

Heyy, thanks everyone for your patience! Finally, after struggling with computer-less-ness for a month I'm back to the comic.Sometime next week I'll post the full version of Smokey Quartz 1.0 :) Stay tuned!

My desktop is alive again!

I've decided to cave in and get a new motherboard while my old one is being processed by the manufacturer... so I have full use of my stuff again!I am aware they are VERY late, but here are the June Patreon requests for my $10 and $20 patrons!If you do not see your request in this list, please email or reach out to me asap. There is a small chance I misplaced your request.

Please read! - details below

If you've requested things for June - I'll get to them as soon as I'm able, but they will be late, likely closer to mid-July.If you were planning to request for July - please WAIT until I make a post! I'm planning to suspend by Patreon for July because I legitimately just don't have a PC to work with right now, so there's not much point. I cannot work on the comic.To everyone:You will not be charged for the month!I apologi...

Life Update: Computer has.... died. Please expect delay in.... everything.

Those of you on Discord might have already heard, but over a week ago, my PC started acting strangely and rebooting/getting stuck in reboot loops. I originally suspected it was something to do with the Microsoft Update, so I tried various driver/windows 10 install fixes, but even a clean reinstall did nothing.I started hardware troubleshooting, but as of Monday night, my old CPU was no longer usable, and the new one has fixed nothing. Computer wo...

S4 EP26: Team Effort (part 1)

After a long wait... we're finally here!Part 2 will be out.... when I finish it!If it ends up taking too long, I will 100% at least post Smokey Beta version because I actually have that done. :) Did I plan on having them fuse this episode? Initially, no, but it ended up being the exact solution to my writer's block, so we're going with it!

$20 Monthly Requests - now OPEN!

As always thank you for your support and I'm looking forward to drawing you stuff! :) As a reminder: One character per month unless you skipped last month (with a note for me!) in which case you can get up to two characters! Yay! Anything is good as long as it's not graphic gore, mecha or nsfw. Please provide REFERENCES for me where possible. Yes, even if it's a known character - Google often gives me fanart instead of official art wh...

May Requests are DONE!

Hello friends, thank you so much for your patience! I am back with monthly requests, and I am slowly trying to get back into the swing of things.Other updates: I'm working on the next chapter of WD!AU! I have 15 panels done, but I had to pause to do monthlies. Hopefully the episode will be finished early in June!
