The main reason for my slow art turnout is the projects I'm working on, but with Generation 6 looming over us I've also been hesitant to start working on new art. When it hits I don't want to be in the middle of a piece of art. With the Generation 6 news coming this weekend, depending on what we get, I should have something to upload.

Alright, I need a change of pace, so I'm going to take suggestions from you, my watchers, for three Generation 3 (Hoenn) Pokémon for me to draw!

Please list them in this order:
1.) The Pokémon you want me to draw most (name only)
2.) etc.
3.) etc.

So it's easy for me to tally up all of the suggestions. Please note: Ludicolo, Jirachi, Latias, Swalot, Rayquaza, Altaria, Sharpedo, and Gardevoir are excluded because I've drawn them recently, so please do not suggest them.

This will end Tuesday, 2/5/13, at 11:00 PM Eastern Time (U.S.).

Artwork production is still going to (unfortunately) be very slow as I've returned to work and other aspects of my life are eating up a lot of my time... You know, the usual routine. Thankfully I'll have a few days off in December (and two in November) so during those days I should have plenty of time to complete a few pieces. As far as what's coming up: More Unova Pokémon, one or two new DOOM pieces, and possibly other things in-between. I'm really going to try to force myself to focus more on Unova, but sometimes (or... most of the time) motivation and inspiration get t ]]> http://xous54.deviantart.com/journal/August-September-Plans-322423635 http://xous54.deviantart.com/journal/August-September-Plans-322423635 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:01:29 PDT August / September Plans. nonadult journals/personal Xous54 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/o/xous54.png?7 Copyright 2012-2013 ~Xous54
I'm still trying to focus on the Unova Pokémon, but to be honest I'm not exactly in a Pokémon mood, and the times I've been able to complete pieces they've been for other series (like the DOOM art I'm working on now).

Just a bit of an update on what I'll probably be doing over the next few weeks / months / whenever I decide to update again. First off, for those who haven't seen my "permission" update please read my previous journal entry. I've still been getting a lot of people asking me permission for things they'd simply need to credit me for, so hopefully it'll save some people time when they don't have to wait on my response.

This month I'm continuing to focus on finishing the Unova Pokémon, since it's still my primary project. At the rate I'm going it'll still be a whi ]]> http://xous54.deviantart.com/journal/Important-Update-Information-305332287 http://xous54.deviantart.com/journal/Important-Update-Information-305332287 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:57:38 PDT Important Update Information. nonadult journals/personal Xous54 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/o/xous54.png?7 Copyright 2012-2013 ~Xous54

Just posting to get everyone up-to-date on my status: My health has taken a turn for the worse again, and because of this getting artwork done has been close to impossible. (It's hard to even sit here and type this up.) I'm not back in the hospital or anything, but if this was even a little worse I probably would be. xD

I've got some tests coming up this week that will hopefully help figure out what's going on, but I don't expect my condition to get better anytime soon (unless it magically heals itself) so unfo ]]> http://xous54.deviantart.com/journal/Out-of-the-hospital-292826049 http://xous54.deviantart.com/journal/Out-of-the-hospital-292826049 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:49:08 PDT Out of the hospital. nonadult journals/personal Xous54 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/o/xous54.png?7 Copyright 2012-2013 ~Xous54
I just want to sincerely thank everyone who wished me well as I was in the hospital. Knowing there are so many who care about me - some art guy online - means the world and more to me. Thank you all. :)

Am I okay? So far, yes. It doesn't seem to be anything bad at the moment, thankfully. I hope to be out of here in good health by the end of the week at the latest.

What about getting back to people? Unfortunately I'm going to be unable to respond to Notes and other comments / questions in the meantime, so please bear with me. I'll respond to everything once I'm out of the hospital. Remember, a Note is the best way for me to notice your question since comments get buried and are spread across a wide area.

Main Gallery: For the artwork that doesn't really fit into the folders, or semi-important pieces I'd like others to be able to reference quickly. (Plus, there's gotta be something there or else it'd look empty, right?)

Unova Folder: For artwork featuring only Unova Pokémon. Will be organized into numerical order when I get the chance. Non-Sugimori art will be listed last, after the numerically listed Sugimori art.

Sugimori Style Art: Still the main focus, still mainly sticking to drawing the Pokémon in order (starting with Unova, then Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh). Nothing's really changed here.

Fakemon: I've gotten a lot of questions about my progress on this, so I'll address it now. I haven't run out of ideas and I haven't given up - I've actually got a lot of Fakemon sketched out, so they're just waiting to be completed.

Anyway, here's what I currently envision my future art plans to be. There will most likely be deviations from these plans, but I'm going to try to keep them to a minimum. (Unfortunately with my tendency to draw what I feel most motivated to draw instead of what needs to be drawn, I fear the deviations may be more numerous than I'd like...) The projects are listed in the order of highest priority to lowest.

Anyway, I figured I'd list the questions and answers here, as well, in case someone doesn't notice the F.A.Q. in my profile. (I'll even go into a bit more depth here, since I have all the room I want.)

Because of this, there may be a decrease in the amount of artwork I post for a while. In addition, I may be very slow to respond to comments / Notes, so please don't think I'm ignoring you. :)

Right now, my main focus is finishing off some small projects I've got, then working on Sugimori-style artwork for the remaining Unova Legendary Pokémon.
