Every time I join a site or play a game focused on collecting Pokemon-adjacent monsters, there's one thing that always strikes me before anything else - the desire to make my own! Unfortunately, there's just one roadblock: I can never finish what I start. Every time I start sketching up a new design, there's always a snag. Maybe I feel it isn't close enough to the established style, or maybe the design in my mind's eye is more complicated than what I can accomplish, or maybe I get the idea that I actually hate what I've been drawing and scrap it all right at the end.

Well I've had enough. Every day, I am going to draw a new Pixpet, and limit myself to a 10-15 minute timeframe and the most basic brushes so that quality is no longer an obstacle. I'll generate a number between 1 and 4 to determine how many colors it will have, and then in turn randomly generate those colors. I'm hoping this can help me overcome artblock and become a better artist overall, and I'm sharing them here because I figure the folks here might like some of these fast and sloppy doodles. Or not! Either way, I'm archiving them here for the heck of it. I hope you enjoy-

Irritating, but not very strong. Live on airliners like fleas. Easy to kick over, and sound like a tin can when they helplessly tumble to the ground.
