For almost the past month, I've been working on a story for my last picture, Persona Permaberries: Mitsuru Kirijo & Fuuka Yamagishi... most of which has been trying to work myself up actually working on it, or working to avoid working on it. It has been an ordeal and a half, as I decided I wanted to tell a story that more interlaced itself with the plot and themes of the game it's based on rather than just being inflation smut involving those characters and settings. But that meant having to do even more research and and planning that any story I've written before... and it's going to be longer than anything I've written yet, sans Not To See, But To Feel: Part 3... and I haven't even finished it yet.
So for those of you who enjoy my longer, more narrative-based stories, you'll be in for a treat when I eventually finish it. I'll write another journal when I do finish it, with links to the story on sites that can host something so large (it's going to be THAT long). However, for the sake of being more efficient with my time, I'll have something else going on, which is where you come it.
The Mitsuru & Fuuka drawing used up the last sheet of paper in my sketchbook, so I need to go out an by more. However, I was rather dissatisfied with the brand, so I picked up a bunch of sample pads of paper, and even some new colored pencils to see if I can achieve better results, and as an exercise to try and be more efficient with my drawing/coloring speed... and what better way to test them than with a poll of drawing a bunch of girls turning into blueberries!
Below is a link to a new straw poll featuring just about* every major named character from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, DLCs included, from fan favorites to underrated individuals with little to no inflation art of them, for which you can cast up to SEVEN (7)(!) votes for who you would like to see me draw.
NOTE: I will reserve the right to pick up to three (3) characters to draw of my own volition, as there are some I've wanted to draw for a really for a long time, who I'll probably draw anyway if I need to do more testing and/or if they don't win a spot.
The poll will remain active for as long as it takes me to finish writing the story for the Mitsuru and Fuuka picture. Once the poll is closed, each of the characters who won a spot will be drawn in the process of inflating into a blueberry.
But there's more! Each of these pictures, however many there end up being, will be posted on the same day, and after an allotted time, the character with the most likes/favorites/shares/reposts/etc combined across all of my galleries will be drawn on the paper/with the pencils I like the most fully inflated into a giant blueberry!
*: Characters who appear to be/canonically are under the age of 18 will be redesigned to be equal to or greater than 18.
