Well, the end of the decade is upon us. And I would love to do one more big finished drawing for y'all, but unfortunately... *sigh* I have repetitive strain injury in my wrists. It's been a background issue since the summer when I was really active and just not careful enough, but the rush at the end of my uni project to get it finished in time, followed by foolishly making two videos, was just too much. I'm gonna have to rest for a while, which kinda sucks, but it's the right choice to make. Overall I would undoubtedly say this is the best year I've ever had for drawing - in fact, this is the first year on DeviantArt where I'm gonna have an actual proper drawing for every single month in the annual art summary!! I just would've liked this to be December's pic. Oh well.





So this is that Charmeleon I've drawn a couple of times before.





Charming Charmeleon was already there when I started keeping track. And One in Char-million there has just in the last few days climbed to #26! So this gal has been doing pretty well for herself. I want to give her a name. I'm thinking Paprika, but that's not set in stone. I don't tend to post WIPs here, and will almost certainly send this to Scraps later, but I wanted to have something to show, y'know? Plus it has bonus doodles. You can't say no to bonus doodles. People sure seem to like her! I keep track of the top 25 most-faved deviations in my gallery, as well as various categories.was already there when I started keeping track.

EDIT: Aha!! Being mentioned in the description of this sketch earned One in Char-million the one more fave it needed to get into the top 25! Nice, lol.







Anyway, yeah. Hopefully I can complete this (and its followup, hoho~) next month or so. And now I've reached my goal for this year of having every month in 2019 getting more pageviews than every month in 2018 (which performed pretty badly), so I can ease off next year and not push myself so hard.





EDIT: NOW FINISHED!!!
