Daily Dex - Snorlax and Machamp
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop
Quick caveat up front; Saturday night I got incredibly INCREDIBLY sick (don’t wanna go into it but I’ve legitimately never thrown up that much in my life) and by the time I’m posting this (Thurs 12/4) I’m only now in “not dying” mode.
Once I’m well enough to get back to normal activities I’ll photograph the more recent entries I’ve drawn from bed. I’d prepped this post on Saturday and didn’t hit post because of the aforementioned plague.
Fri 11/28/25 - Snorlax
I figured it was fitting that if Thanksgiving day got a hungry pokemon, the day after needed to be a fucking Snorlax. I was EXHAUSTED most of Friday.
[Note: This was most likely a result of the oncoming of the plague]
Sat 11/29/25 - Machamp
About 1 (one) day into this project I realized that at some point, I was going to have to contend with a few pretty fucked up things:
- I'm not great at drawing hands (ok but who is??)
- I'm not great at drawing humanoid faces - which is why my primary artistic venture involves bird beaked people with single-color glowing eyes
So! when I hit the random number generator and it ended up on 68, a trip to bulbapedia showed me that my fears had sort of coalesced; not just hands....FOUR hands, and a goddamn humanoid-adjacent face
I could have re-rolled! I could hidden from my destiny! But nay; it was time to rip the goddamn [store brand medical adhesive strip] off and draw some fucking hands.
And goddamnit I think I did....ok!
(Also how did I never notice that Machamp is basically a biped frogman? And why does its evolution path involve a wrestler's belt? Is the belt....organic?? Do I want to know the answer to this question???)
