This is some more fan art, I guess. Ever since that last picture I drew of Smeargle, I have been obsessed with this guy. He is just so adorable and cute! I really would love to have him as a pet and we would have so much fun. I really feel close to him and I have as a child. I remember his Pokémon cards and they were amazing.

Smeargle apparently is a mix of ‘smear’ and ‘beagle’ which makes complete sense and also, he is labelled as the ‘Painter Pokémon’. So, really, this imaginary Smeargle is the one who made the background for this picture. I’ve never seen him in the anime, but I like to think that they’ll paint beautiful pictures when their emotions go ‘high’.

The text simply means ‘star’ in Proto-Turkic. ‘Yıldız’ is the modern Turkish word for it, similar to Azeri: ‘Ulduz’ and Turkmen ‘Ýyldyz’. I’m not really sure what ‘ŕ’ would’ve sounded like in Proto-Turkic, like a variation of ‘r’ or long ‘r’. Also, while most of the Turkic languages have –z at the end, while Bashkir has йондоҙ (yondoð). The only odd one out really is Chuvash with ҫӑлтӑр ‎(śăltăr). Then there is ‘j’. There are other languages where it is pronounced like ‘j’ or ‘zh’, like Kazakh juldız [жұлдыз] and Kyrgyz cıldız жылдыз.

Well, here is my first descent into Turkic languages and a cute picture to go along with it.
Oh, and I kinda forgot to mention but next week is my birthday, on 2nd August. I guess I should be excited but if I could, I would just like to have a Smeargle. And school also starts that week.
