Splashing About

Grady the Magikarp

Splashing about and good for nothing else ... besides being a pain in the rear. That is Danton's opinion of Grady the Magikarp.

You can definitely look forwards to a little bit of bashing between Danton and Grady. Both Impish with a desire to spite the other. Grady would never mention it, but Danton impressed him at some point, and he'll be the friend who will go the extra mile ... but he still has to bug Danton in any way he can.

A Spark of Interest

Zoey the Shinx

Since this is based loosely on a Nuzlocke, it includes first encounters. So I've begun drawing some of the characters Danton meets on his journey. The first one is a Shinx by the name of Zoey.


Since part of these initial drawings are to solidify my designs of the characters as well as work on fixing my character's faces and hands, her figure is a little off ...


I'm working on several of these as I take notes and complete the Nuzlocke for my Pearl version. I can't wait to start the comic, but I want to solidify my abilities to draw these characters repetitively.

Completing the Trio

Lucas the Turtwig

Now to complete the trio, I give you Lucas.

Best friend to both Danton and Clint, he likes to play peace maker more than anything else. He has no ambition to be the best overall, but will gladly help both Danton and Clint along with their Friendly rivalry.

With his bag full of almost everything one might need, he is prepared to face anything.


Along with Clint and Danton, he will be gathering a team, but his main goal is survival rather than winning. Danton will definitely be seeing him around campus quite a bit.

Now Add A Little Competition

Clint the rival Piplup

What good is a story without a little friendly rivalry?

Here is Danton's rival, Clint (to the left). You wouldn't really be able to call these two friends. They are more acquaintances who have made it their life goal to put the other in their place.

Danton, being more athletic, acts more on impulse, and Clint prefers to be analytic and think things through before jumping into something. Although, that doesn't stop Clint from rushing off for a deadline. The downfall of thinking a little too much ... he loses track of time sometimes.


I plan to maybe play around with his design a little bit before I finalize him. None of these characters are set in stone yet for design and are prone to change if it suits their personality and their species.

This is still pre-story just to finalize some of the designs and to work a little on my human characters. I think I may post another tomorrow sometime.

Let's start with a Character

Meet Danton the Chimchar

This is a new idea I am trying out of blending Gijinka and a Nuzlocke Run which will be set at a place called Sinnoh University.

This will start out with Danton (to the right) and it will continue on within the guidelines of the game. Moves, Natures, choices and "deaths" will be affected by who survives the Nuzlocke (if any). All characters will still be able to use their Pokemon moves.

I'm still working on character design so some of them may change. I will have some sketches that may show up as well.



Well before I start drawing the comic, I want to be able to draw several of the characters repeatedly so I can work out the kinks of their design, and also work on their faces and their hands (which are two things I need to work on.

I hope you will enjoy this as much as I am.
