Transforming is the signature technique of Ditto. Popular folklore often depicts a Ditto in disguise as a near perfect replica, save for a pair of beady eyes. But contrary to popular belief, there is a wide variety of skills among the species when it comes to their mimicry. Some have difficulty with color, mouths, size, e...

So some of you may or may not know that I like to pre-render backgrounds for OBT to make the comicking process go by quicker! Here we have Yohann's yurt, which was pretty fun to put together if requiring a bit of mental gymnastics. The outfits were fun to come up with though, and I hope to cycle through them when revisiting t...

Unrelated to her amnesia, Rune sometimes struggles with remembering the names of places, objects, and people despite having pretty good memory otherwise.

As a result of needing to memorize the names of several children and townspeople, Dielle has fantastic memory when it comes to names. She credits this to finding creative tricks for committing them to memory.

Most fish pokemon are able to "swim" through the air with the aid of their aura, and tend to levitate close to the ground. The only exception to this being when their aura has been overexerted from battling, or the only species without the ability to levitate, Magikarp. Magikarp have such weak auras they struggle to levit...

If you're a brave soul, you can try whatever special Bev has for the day. These are usually concoctions they've made on the fly in hopes of achieving gourmet tastes. Dielle seems to be one of the only patrons that ever likes them.

Apples are a popular food among pokemon as they're easy to cultivate in most places. Its berry counterpart, the Leppa berry, has evolved to provide increased stamina and robustness in aura.

Some years ago, the Guildmaster took a leave of absence from his duties to pursue a fleeting career in real estate. He quickly became overwhelmed with the paperwork though, so it was short lived.

One popular folktale is called The Songstress and the Figurante. The story follows the lives of two pokemon leading very different lives- a singer, who spends a pampered life in splendor, and a dancer who barely scrapes by performing on the streets. By chance they swap lifestyles, as the dancer performs in grand concert h...

I'm hoping to do a more proper newsletter for Patreon within the next few days, but I didn't want to hold off on releasing this most recent page buffer I completed for the comic!

Many of my funky lil ideas for OBT come while I'm in the shower, and this is one visual that was on my mind that I wanted to hash out. The creation myth for OBT has been on my mind lately, and I've been considering making an extra comic for it at some point!

The character on the right won't be showing up in the story for a while, but she and Rune have an interesting relationship with one another.

On this episode of WIP wednesday, I forgot to schedule a bunch of Patreon posts and just saved them in drafts, so all this time I was travelling nothing was posting _( :,3」∠)_
So here's a double WIP! Featuring Rune getting her Outfit Change and me regretting giving Yohann so, so many ruffles in his debut outfit.
