I'm still working on the comic. I'm nearing the finish of book 2. Oh look! Is that Nanu?!
Here is a bird animation. youtu.be/pOwRpVgrXaI?...
My crappy 2d pendulum animation. youtu.be/OIfmqz5qcwc?...
So far my perception of people in the animation industry: "Oh you don't know something? Sucks to be you." It is like the Hunger Games to these ppl. 😱
What better idea could it be?
I got more comic pages coming. I have been working thru the story and trying to finish the book up before publishing it. I might try to post something soon. Animation classes are making it rough. I have to prioritize those first.
People just cannot handle the fact that Autism is a genetic condition. And that somewhere in their family gene pool they had an uncle or aunt or great grand person who was Autistic. People don't want "imperfect" offspring or don't like to think about it. We need to change this mindset.
I bet that smells wonderful.
youtu.be/dU8ofhI9O9g?... See Bessyblade's Adventures in Project Ascension World of Warcraft. She is lvl 30 and is going to Stranglethorn Vale to hunt tigers into extinction. See how PA-WoW works!
I use a combination of Photoshop CS 2024 and Adobe Streamline. The rest is hand drawn artwork.
Possibly over profit. We have yet to change. But you can advocate!
The consumer shouldn't have to do the hard work of deciding if a video or artwork or photo is AI generated or not. The producer should be obligated to identify the legitimacy of the product. It's just ethics and moral business 101. But till Big Tech realizes it needs to accept these principles,
It was funny. But yeah, I believe that AI needs a universal label for all generated content. As a regulation, a law. They hate that. But ethically we need to be there.
Toxic Positivity is annoying AF. It comes mostly from ppl who don't struggle enough with things in life. They sit there and live a privileged life and then talk down to you with a big fake smile and pretend that all of us should be happy little beans. I hate that.
My Tauren character in Project Ascension WoW. She is a warrior/ Shaman.
I am working on the finishing pages of my epic Pokemon battle between a Scolipede and Tapu Bulu. It's challenging cause I am working and doing classes at the same time, but it's coming along. thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Updates are coming soon. I have just been hella busy with classes and work lately. Hang in there!

My comic is a Pokemon Fan Comic! The Alola Files thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Colorful Altaria #altaria #pokemon #art
It seems that a wave of Pr4wn bots have infected Bluesky. Report, block and hide. I don't want that in my feed.
Had lots of fun at the Pokefest NW! Saw lots of fun stuff, got some cards. It was a fun little time.
Battle On!
And why couldn't they have just paid the original artist for their art? Gotta hate these lousy corporations sometimes. One makes fan-art to get recognized, only to have it ripped off by an official source. That sucks man.
Turbulent Trouble PG 14 Scolipede seems to like Guzma. Watch out for that Poison Point! #guzma #pokemon #webcomic #pokemonoc thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Nuzzle, Nuzzle with Your Boi Guzma. Heehee 😁
If you have a safe address I could send or ship donated items I would be more than willing to help. You can DM me.
I made a cover for my comics. thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Everytime Trump says something about Obama, Push this sound button. www.myinstants.com/en/instant/o...
Turbulent Trouble PG 13 The battle is on! Tibby will use her Scolipede she brought with her from Unova. I think Tapu Bulu will find this battle delightful. #pokemon #scolipede #tapubulu thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Some fan art of Tibby! By ShadowsHaveColor on Tumblr. I am very proud. Art attack seen!
I have gotten sucked up into the craze. I have gotten an official Labubu. #labubu
I cleaned my workspace. This is what my living room looks like.
Excited! #guzma
Seriously? 😂 All I use X for is to promote my webcomic and art. And post about my video game accomplishments. I even post about pride stuff sometimes. I, in no way think I endorse Elon Musk's views. 🤣 x.com/Gameshotz767...
I still post on X (Twitter). But I do my best to avoid the Rage Bait and Outrage Material is pushes. I do think the Grok AI should be stripped out of it. And yes, make Elon gone. But as a platform I think it should stay. Otherwise it would be like banning TikTok too.
Found this great Classic Techno song w/out a name I really love. It's a banger! Will probably use it as the theme song for my Pokemon OC's battle theme. youtube.com/shorts/cskVk...
Turbulent Trouble PG 12 #guzma gets whacked by Tapu Bulu! The Tapu has its own way of letting you know what it wants. #pokemon #pokemonwebcomic thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
You alright? Guzma crash out, good thing he has backup.
Woof. Tell me about it. I've been publishing my comics online since the turn of the century and I'm still not sure how this "popularity" thing is supposed to work.
The other weird thing is people like to conflate a follow-count with an artist's level of skill or prominence, and that's just an incorrect metric. Some of our most skilled and well-regarded colleagues have modest followings online. Developing a following online is a whole other skill.
Turbulent Trouble PG 11 #guzma take some action! But can he stand up to the Mythical Guardian #pokemon Tapu Bulu? #webcomic thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Turbulent Trouble pg. 10 Tapu Bulu seems curious about Tibby. But why could that be? #pokemon #webcomic thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Pride stickers of the mane six heck yeahs #mlp #pride
Ever see a REAL dinosaur peck a thumb before? Check out this page, this farm has unique Naked #emu chicks! They are emus born without the normal feather fluff due to a genetic anomaly. Fluffless emus = real dinosaurs!
So far I have sold at least 5 Lanyards so far! Yey! I might make more and design some more of this proves to go somewhere. www.etsy.com/shop/DivaDaz...
Between updating my comic normally, working, and attending the animation school online I am doing soon I won't have time or resources for the 'Art Fight' meme thing going around. Seems fun, but I just don't got the time for it.
Most unwanted change made in a game so far. @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com #worldofwarcraft
add yours!
New, just in! Team Skull Lanyards! Look cool and be a part of the gang! divadazzlestickers.etsy.com/listing/4325...
Turbulent Trouble PG 9 Uh oh, a wild Tapu Bulu has appeared! Omg! What for and for what reasons? #pokemon #pokemonoc #tapubulu thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
I went to the Everett Pride Block Party. It was very fun and had lots of colorful things to see and do. There was lots of art, outreach and music.
Check the value of it, might be worth money. Collectors love rare albums.
I was followed by Vivian Jenna! (On X) I feel blessed and honored.
I tell you this because I am fully against entering into a new unlawful conflict in the Middle East unjustly. They are lieing thru their teeth to push this thing. Resist.
Political - For all you youth who are too young to remember the Iraq War. I lived thru that era. And I can affirm that our government lied to us about WMDs to carry out their invasion of Iraq. They lied about Sadam. Listen to this album know the rage. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
My Lopunny lanyards are now avl for sale! Only $5.98. get em before they are gone! Limited supply! divadazzlestickers.etsy.com/listing/4322...
Turbulent Trouble PG 8 Tibby is an independent gal. She relishes her freedom. So maybe she will just consider the offer for now. Not the end! #webcomic #guzma #pokemon #pokemonoc thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
Another #billionaire down! Seriously - Bee Sting Allergies are a serious matter. If you are outside and going to be around bees, be sure to have an EpiPen handy at all times.
My Mantis eats a small spider. The Mantis ate up the whole spider, legs, body, and all. Must have been delicious. Mixer is growing!
Here Tapu looking at you.
I cannot attend this protest this weekend because I will be working OT. But I will be there in spirit. I really wanted to go, but it just worked out that I had to work OT this weekend so I can attend Pride events later this month.
My Lopunny lanyards came in! I will put some on my Etsy and/or give some away as gifts.
This is a character for a future book.
This is Sally. She is The Champion in Tibby's Alola universe. And she is a royal pain in the butt! Just because you're Champion doesn't mean you're a good person. She is selfish, shallow, jealous, and obnoxious. And she has a HUGE crush on Guzma. She thinks she owns the Alolan islands, and Guzma.
It really burns me when these tiktok 'splainer vids come up and make us sound so generalized. "All Autistics do this thing or that..." Uhm no, that is totally false! Each person is unique. It only feeds the fuel that makes more myths about us.
Congrats on the new job!
Turbulent Trouble PG 7 #guzma has a strong recruitment goal, to get #teamskull as strong as possible. #pokemon #webcomic The Alola Files: thealolafiles.thecomicseries.com
WASP OR MOTH!? 🐝🤯 One of the most incredible mimics in the world, this Tiger Moth (Orcynia calcarata) looks so much like a wasp I was almost nervous holding it! 😳 There are so many tiger moths mimicking wasps in the Amazon it’s crazy! 😯🌳 How amazing is nature! 💛🖤
Working on it.
So there on AI. I think it can (and will) exist. But we need to evaluate what we are doing and what is ethically right. Make a Free, Universal Marker for AI content - like the USB. It's a Yes* with Caveats answer with me.
If all that company wants is quick clip-art and slop thrown together in a second with no effort. Then AI fits that need. But real art from a real artist still attracts more attention and thought from a consumer or persons overall. So it's a fine balance.
And then you can have your AI stuff. AI art can exist as long as it is ethically handled with identification and categorization. Otherwise it is garbage and insulting to artists and get it outta here. As far as replacing artists with AI. It depends on the needs of the company...
So people recognize they are AI generated things. Right now there is no mark and we get stupid shit like melted arms and hands and gibberish words and Boomers on Facebook fall for cheap AI crap all the time. Ethically this needs to end. Put a marker on this content. A simple marker...
Here's my AI art stance - And you might like it or hate it. It is a Yes and No answer to the solution. I think AI art CAN exist, but must have a clear universal indication of some kind (watermark and in metadata). Tech Bros - create a universal mark to use to identify AI created works...

Tis true, the process of Boobification. #fanart
I can bring a little bit of Destruction with me wherever I go. (Got a trinket on Etsy)
Happy Pride Month to all friends and allies out there! Here is a drawing featuring the famous couple from the Shady House - the 2 Girl Grunts in the one room. They are my 2 favorite gals in the game. Have a good June all! 🏳️🌈 #pride2025 #teamskull #pokemon #guzma #pridemonth #pride
Working on a piece because it feels cool. Guzma looking chill. (Wip) #guzma #pokemon
I am making a Team Skull lanyard design. I will order 6 of them and put them on my Etsy shop or give them out as gifts.
I am sorry in advance if this highly offends anyone. But it's my thoughts. I just don't like it when ppl set out to make that stuff.
Can I say that I have a slight issue with this. It's not the gay thing, it's never the gay thing. It's putting characters meant for kids from kids shows in such positions. I see this sexualized slop all over DeviantArt and Bluesky and fandoms everywhere. WHY?!!! Leave the toons alone you sickos.
Entry 12 of #mermay, the Giant Isopod! Once I got past the hurdle of pose, I really opened up on this & had a blast! I always enjoy the detail that goes into carapaced creatures :). #mermay2025 #mermaid
If that were true, then what is this big decorative building for? Must be a factory for shoes or something.
Turbulent Trouble, PG 6 #guzma explains his rejection of his Rehabilitation. And Tibby makes a good point. #pokemon #webcomic
youtu.be/YKvztGTPuiE?...
I had to glow it up a bit. Just to get back into the flow of things again. #guzma #pokemonoc #romance
A casual night out. (Sketch)
I'm on a roll! Got a Moth Mount and a cool looking evil eye shield from the N'Zoth raid.
This is a game that was included on my 3Ds and I have never touched it.
Congratulations!
Some chibi-like designs I am working on to make charms for my Etsy store.
I accidentally ordered too many tiny mealworms (food for Mantis). And now I have a huge abundance! If anyone has chicks or chickens and is in the Seattle / Everett PNW area, I got free food for you to pickup. I will probably put them up on a Buy-Nothing group on Facebook for free.
#worldbeeday Happy World Bee Day! We all need our tiny soldiers to pollinate our food help us thrive. The circle of life goes on!
Had a great time at the Underworld concert in Seattle. It was awesome!
Mantis is eating a small mealworm. Hungry!
