Rai - 24 - She-Her - Ghost

Hello, I’m Rai! I’m an aspiring author + illustrator and a huge fan of Nintendo games, especially Pokemon! I love making fan art and OCs, and am currently working on various ideas for Pokemon / PMD-related projects. I also draw Marshadow a lot. I post all sorts of stuff, from art to characters to headcanons, and hopefully even some comics in the future!

Heya sorry for disappearing again, I had a really bad cold last week. Gonna start working on art again now that I’m feeling better!

Marshadow have the ability to create Zenith Energy, the power source found within Z-Crystals. Zenith Energy, or Z-Energy, can grant the user an incredibly high amount of power, but only for a limited period of time. If a Marshadow exhausts their supply of Z-Energy, they must take some time to rest and recharge.

A Marshadow’s transformation into their Zenith Form occurs when their bodies begin to produce high levels of Z-Energy to prepare them for a fight, similar to how an adrenaline rush works. With enough training, a Marshadow can learn to gain control of this transformation without relying on instinct.

Hey, just wanted to apologize for putting off the costume challenge stuff! I’ve been really overwhelmed lately so I haven’t had any motivation to draw, and my brain has been fixated on my Marshadow OCs for the past several weeks so now it literally only wants to draw them lol. I have everything sketched out, it’s just a matter of finishing them. I’ll have a lot more free time starting next week so I’m hoping to get some work done then! (But if you see an influx of Marshadow-related content, you know why lol)

If I ever say I’m going to do something and then don’t, you can safely assume 99% of the time it’s because I’ve become fixated on something else LMAO

ALSO Art Fight is in 2 months so I’m hoping to start working on ref sheets soon too!

A reference for Marshie’s bandana and Z-Crystal! He tries to tuck in as much of his neck floof as he can, but some of it always ends up poking out anyway.

He wears the bandana when he goes on adventures with his friends. It seems to boost his confidence quite a bit, especially once he earns his fancy new Z-Crystal! (Though using a Z-Move is admittedly something he’s still working on…)

Update to my PMD world lore that I forgot to share here:

Regions and continents are no longer entirely different locations. Instead, regions can be found ON the continents. (The world map is pretty much the same as it is in canon.) Basically regions are just locations that have been fully explored and deemed safe for a ton of pokemon to live so there are lots of towns and peaceful wildlands. (Not that there aren’t any mystery dungeons at all, they’re just a lot smaller and easier to deal with most of the time. There are of course a few exceptions here and there.) Exploration teams aren’t very common in regions since everything has been sufficiently mapped out and explored. Basically, you can think of regions as the capitals / big cities of the continents.

Most regions have been established for quite a while, dating back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Some stories claim that humans helped pokemon establish them, while others attribute their creation to the Legendaries. Who knows?

Furious

This is canon
