Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a wonderful day to celebrate the 35th trip around the sun. It was a lot of fun. I spent the day at Disneyland, Wondercon 2014, and California Adventure. I just recently purchased a new place and am finally getting settled in. Not much more to do. I promise to start work again on the guide. I really think / hope the new stuff is as good and fun as the previous. I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend and appreciate the thoughts! Happy Easter!

Pokemon Y

1 min read
I picked up my copy of Pokemon Y last night! If any of my followers wish to add me as a friend, please list your Friend Code here and the name you are using in game. There are so many awesome new Polemon and a million ideas are running through my head! Anyway. The game is really amazing and I can't wait to see you online.

Hey guys and gals, 

I just wanted to let you know that I am currently repainting Mightyena (like as I write this, entry). I was going to release it this week but, am not happy with the final product. In the past, I used to release a page when done. Despite if I liked it or not. Though this was good in terms of production, I felt the quality of the pages were not what I truly envisioned them to be. Examples of this are pages like Amoongus (first release), Donphan (first release), Victreebel, Miltank etc. I want to release more content but I need it to be at least on par with my other pages. I appreciate the patience that everyone is showing and hope that you continue to watch and stay excited about the guide. I've also decided that to keep me drawing, I am interested in possibly getting involved into a Pokemon RPG here on Deviant. Either way, I am going back to painting and hope that you guys are still here when I put the pages out. 

On a final note, Ill try to also get back to some more "scientific" entries. I know that a few of the pages have story to them but, I like the idea of more facts involved. To the few of you that stopped by the live feed the other night, Thank you. Its always nice to have company when I am drawing. Much love to all the fans. I'm getting back to work. :)

Hey guys, 

I am currently working on my Mightyena page. I decided to share my screen and chat with anyone interested. You can see what I am doing at join.me just put in the above listed address and say hello. Even if you can't stay it will be nice to hear from you guys. At any rate, I hope to hear from you soon! 

It seems some of you may not know how to chat. So, if you click on the "chat bubble" button, it SHOULD bring up the chat box. Either way, if you are in don't be afraid to say Hi! Its why I am doing this. :)

Well, I know I probably say this quite often but I'm sure by now you know its true but I'm working on some new pages. If you follow me on twitter, you've been getting the updates and snap shots of concept art and progress. If not, this is to let you guys have some more info. I doubt many of you follow me as I only have 32 followers! However, since I am not one for shameless promotion Im not going to force feed any social media on you. ;) If you'd like you can (mp_casteel), if not? That's fine too. I'll try to post here a little more often so you guys can get some of the updates as well. Anyway, onto what I've been working on. 

Butterfree. I'm in the concept stages of this page and working on the "encounter" in which Baobab and his team have the opportunity to document behavior. In doing research, this thing is massive! The Pokemon is 3 foot tall!! I'm in a huge debate with myself as to maintaing size (much like I did with Girafarig). If you have any feedback, let me know. 

Mightyena! I havent mentioned this one before but I am currently in the process of creating this page. I have my layout for the most part and am working in the journal entry. Its only in the early stages but this will hopefully be done in a week. I am really excited about this page and am looking forward to releasing it quickly. This will also be the first time you get to hear about the Professor's rival and the antagonist of the journal/story! 

Chatot. Say what?! Yes, this song bird is going to make an appearance. Concept art going, story already written. 

Skrelp. The new Generation VI Pokemon might be having his own page. No encounter, just a study. Based off the leafy sea-dragon, this new addition has grab the heartstrings of my girlfriend and thus I thought I would add his own study. 

Growlithe. This is a fun page. The Professor actually encounters this Pokemon during an exchange with local authorities involved in a criminal case of poaching. Concept stage sketches abound, deciding on dog breed. ;) 


There's more. So much more. I wish I could do this full time but, alas I have work. Please comment, or tweet me. I am always open for conversation and feedback. Keep sending the notes and I hope to hear from you all soon. Much love and appreciation!
