'The bell of the old telephone in the phone booth is ringing, but who would ever answer a random phone call in the middle of the darkest night out in the parks? It is an annoying sound, loud and high-pitched like some brat scratching over a blackboard.
Just as I try to get as much distance between that choir of dentist’s drills and myself, a swarm of diamonds fountained from the phone line into the night air. I watch these strange, blue lights in attention, as they materialise as an unfamiliar cyan jolteon.
I turn around on the spot. I have dealt with enough freaks before to be alerted as long as I don't know yet, if the strange cyan jolteon, materialising pixel for pixel from the phone lines is friend or foe.'

Tesla the male jolteon alias Rolling Thunder

This is supposed to be a depiction of the first encounter between Rolling Thunder and Cybervolt. Took me much longer than usual, and you maybe know I need a lot of time for my images anyway. Why did it take so long? Well, for one thing I made me a special brush for this first, then I tried some new techniques with Gimp for the pixelating effect, that needed me to draw two ink linearts with pen and paintbrush first, scan them and put them together into one image later. Basically it has almost needed the double amount of time for the traditional pencil and inks part. Also I used a tablet I lent by Fightingwolf for this. Normally I only use the mouse and keyboard for digital colourisation. Since this was more of a digital painting, than the usual stuff, that only needs to put paint on it, I assumed it was the right choice to try a tablet for the first time here.
