A commission for showcasing his Pikachu OC Yuri Volten nuzzling up (hopefully it doesn't case paralysis ;P) with his new Indeedee boyfriend, Emmanuel (last name pending).

We decided that Yuri's previous mate, Thash the Murkrow, was kind of a jerk to Yuri, borderline abusive, so we thought it best that they part ways and start fresh. This change may also affect NotMolo's fan game Installments of Control (beta gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDKZ8s0LK_o&list=PLo7Ym10G_UkHdY2eAJZFosBt67cMW1gKA ) whenever work continues on that.

For a brief bio, Emmanuel is a fashion designer and a bit of an OCD neat-freak, obsessed with detail and looking presentable in public. Not to a debilitating level but enough that he'll often be unable to resist "critiquing" someone's attire if it doesn't match fashion-standard. A male fashionista, if you will. He designs and sews almost all his own clothes and is well respected in the industry, so naturally when he and Yuri hooked up, the first thing that had to happen was an update to the Pikachu explorer's wardrobe. Vests are so far their go-to casual-wear, but Emmanuel can provide gear for any and all situations, be it a formal tuxedo for black-tie events, rugged hiking gear for dungeon-crawling missions, specialized workout/sports-gear cough*Libre-costume*cough for training and grappling, and even some more "frilly" stuff for bedroom roleplay. ;3

And yes originally they were supposed to be properly kissing in this pic, but trying to draw two furry critters with snouts pressing lips is still challenging for me pose-wise. Like, I haven't figured out yet how to draw Pokémon with their heads craned back that far without it looking like their necks are broken. I'll probably get a handle on it eventually but it's just one of those poses that still eludes my artistic skills.
