So yesterday was a very special day for one of my dear friends, Wyrd (well, Wyrd66 on tumblr), who turned another year older! Hurray! I wanted to draw something as a special birthday present for her, so I scratched up a couple of our characters together in what is probably not far from a canon interaction if ever they got coerced into having their pictures taken.

On the left is my dude, Silas Reeves, who's a young 30-something Korean/British (well, Pokemon-world analogue) trans dude and incidental esper/psychic who happens to be a PKO (K9 equivalent) officer from Celadon City, with his trusted partner, PKO Vanguard the absol. They're a scary competent team that's managed to be quite a thorn in the side for Rocket the past few years, and have been gaining notice in the underworld very fast as someone to watch out for. Silas is basically the epitome of the earnest/hard working cop ideal with as close to black and white morality as one can cling to without being a total fool. Van is just as serious and hardworking, albeit less socially awkward, with a taste for scones and a psychic "voice" to Silas that comes across like spoken, stilt-y ASL, which makes for a lot of interesting translations and "names" for things.

The guy on the right is Wyrd's dude, Saxon de Reymes (well, that's an alias, but it's his current one), who's a mid-40s Kalosian (Probably native French analogous heritage with something else in the distant lineage for that awesome dark skin, though I don't know his history) and also coincidentally a serial arsonist/vigilante hellbent on bringing Rocket to its knees, regardless of whether or not the method to do so is legal. Like Silas, he's an esper/psychic, though he can only 'project' impulses instead of receive them. His little velcro-mon we see is a weavile named Tye who'd probably move mountains for her master if asked, and would very much like that birthday croissant Van's got.

Silas and Saxon wound up accidentally being perfect foils and they have a hilarious magnetism towards each other from opposite sides of the legal fence. They're huge jerks (well, Silas thinks Saxon is a huge jerk) and also stupidly fun to draw.

Anyway, I digress! I have a bad tendency to ramble on silly headworld stuff. Enjoy, all! Time for this one was probably 2-3 hours of casual puttering around; I wasn't really keeping track like I normally do.
