(originally drawn 1.29.25)

mutual on tumblr managed to pspspsps me into giving Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky another shot after several years (and me mourning the assumed loss of my 3DS). ive tried playing it a few times before, but wasnt really able to stick with it..

and then the hyperfixation bat finally hit me square in the back of the head and i had an entire Adventure chronicled on my tumblr until the end of postgame caused me to screech to a halt because i hate levelgrinding. HOWEVER, WE PERSEVERE

anyway, here's Zeta! protagonist and one of the founding members of Team Atmosphere alongside his friend Archer the shinx. this was actually my first time trying to make a character out of my PMD hero & partner despite playing the series a lot and loving to make OCs out of my trainers whenever i play a mainline game. i wanted to try and make him look distinctive instead of just an on-model totodile! also pretty fun trying to reverse-engineer a human design while trying to avoid him looking like a gijinka.
