Update 5/11/15: The winners of the Design A Kick@$$ Gijinka Contest have been decided! Click the link below to see the results~
It's about time for another Kick@$$ contest!
This year's theme: GIJINKERS!
I enjoy reading gijinka comics as much as the next person, but it seems that I can never be bothered to design gijinka versions of my own pokemon OC's. I've done a few rough concepts in the past, but nothing really official (save for Shii). So I thought, "Why not host a gijinka designing contest~?"
Honestly, I've been playing with this idea for over a year, and it's a good opportunity for you guys, because participants could potentially win a premium membership, dA points, or a chance to have their design featured in an extended, fully colored Kick@$$ bonus comic!
If that doesn't sound enticing, then I don't know what does!

Kick@$$ Gijinka Contest WINNERS!The wait is over! It's finally time to announce the winners of the Design A Kick@$$ Gijinka Contest!
I'm not kidding when I say that this had to be one of the hardest contests I've ever had to judge, especially when it came to deciding on a Puff (so many adorable entries). There were a lot of great gijinkas that we wish could have won, but we could only narrow it down to a very select few. So without further ado, we present to you your winners~

RULES
1. Design a gijinka for any one of the following Team Kick@$$ pokemon:
+ Charlie the Charizard
+ Pecker the Fearow
+ Puff Daddy the Jigglypuff
+ Leviathan the Gyarados
+ Rod the Eevee
Note: Both Shiitake the Gloom and Bill the Clefairy are exempt from this contest since Shii already has an official in-comic gijinka form and Bill is practically a reverse-gijinka already.
2. The designs MUST be colored (doesn't matter if it's digital or traditional).
3. While I prefer that submissions be limited to one character, other gijinkas CAN be included (but only one character can win per artist).
4. Entries can also include multiple versions of the same character.
5. As an example of what I'm looking for, here's Buzzkill the Beedrill done by for our art trade:
And that's basically it!
- - - - -
Deadline is Sunday, May 3rd. (That's four whole weeks!)
Entries must be submitted to the Gijinka Contest folder of (you don't need to be a member to submit).
Multiple entries are allowed, but only one can win per artist.
Submissions will be judged on creativity, quality, effort, and how well the designs reflect the pokemon as characters.
There will be five winners (one for each character), and five runner-ups.
The winners will have their designs featured in an official Kick@$$ bonus comic!
Runner-ups will win a 3 month premium membership (or 650 ) each!
It's worth mentioning that winners will be decided exclusively by me (since I'm the one who will have to work them into a comic), but the runner-ups will be determined by our panel of judges. Also note that I might need to make small changes to the winning designs in order to make the team appear more uniform and/or to make them fit within the style of the Kick@$$ universe (but the artists will still receive full credit).
Have any questions? Feel free to ask in the comments.
Good luck!

Back From DC!
Update 3/24/15: Heyo! Just got back from having a blast in the US capital. Overall, the trip was very fun and educational--but probably the most important lesson I learned was that just because it's the middle of spring in Texas DOESN'T mean it's springtime everywhere else. I was surprised to find it snowing the day of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, so of course none of the trees were blooming. But I got a pink cherry blossom baseball cap as a souvenir, so it's all good~
Hey, y'all!
Gonna be leaving on a trip to Washington DC tomorrow to celebrate at the Cherry Blossom Festival. It's also my first time visiting my nation's capital, s

Recommend Me Some Nuzlockes?
Update: Wow, you guys really came through! I think I have more nuzlockes now than I know what to do with. XD
Gonna be reading a lot of these over the weekend since I'll be away from home visiting family. There will likely be a comic stream when I return on Monday, so swing on by if you'd like to get a sneak peek of the next page. I'm really looking forward to this one~
Thanks again! You guys rock!
As most of you are well aware, I just recently came back from being dead for several months, and I've been feeling a little behind on my nuzlocke reading as a result. So I figured that you awesome people can help get me get back up to speed by li
Important Life Update
Hey, guys!
It's been a week since I returned from having the experience of a lifetime with Loki-Poki in Scotland! I wanted to post a journal as soon as I got home, but I was so jetlagged that I spent my entire first day back sleeping, then I had to immediately jump back into work. Even then, my sleep schedule has been super fucked up all week (I keep waking up at 4 AM, wtf?).
Anyway, this is probably the first day I've had both the time and energy to type up a proper update. My original plan was to prattle on about my adventures with Loki and rate all the weird food I ate, but something else came up very recently that I feel I should probab
