--- SKRIMPS ART ---
Just yesterday I became an approved artist so I figure it's time I make an art thread!
I've been drawing since I was a wee nugget but only about a month ago did I get the tools needed to finally start doing hand-drawn digital art.
Also, most of these have a white outline on a transparent background (like a sticker) and you won't be able to see it well unless you're using the Smogon Dark display (which you should be anyways?).

Volbeat was one of my favorite Pokemon so it only made sense to use it as my profile pic. I had drawn a few before, but didn't feel like I had really hit the mark on it until I finished with this piece. Coincidentally, it was also my first use of this clean white sticker outline which I'm obsessed with now.
---
DPP metagames will always be my favorite, from both a competitive and nostalgic standpoint, and I was added to the DPP ZU council recently. The DPP ZU resource hub overall needs some updating, but I wanted to tackle the challenge of making a banner to represent the metagame first. Probopass, Luxray, and Golbat were all natural choices being that they are uniquely "DPP ZU" unlike some other threats that exist in multiple ZU old gen metagames.
---
Continuing with the DPP ZU trend, I drew my most used offensive core in DPP ZU. Everyone should know what Diglett's role is, but essentially Persian U-Turns out of Rock- and Steel-types to then be trapped and OHKO'd by Diglett's Earthquake. Simple, straight to the point, and dangerously effective.
---
I wanted to take a stab at a larger project so I grouped up a few more of my favorite Pokemon -- Grumpig, Gengar, Scizor, Tangrowth, and Tyranitar. There's also just enough room in the middle there to add a Volbeat too if I ever decide to complete my team.
If you see these six together on the DPP OU ladder, you know who it is.
