Small ink and marker drawing. I was wondering "Do Pokemon in the Mystery Dungeon Universe have pets?" and I remembered when I was kid on Neopets you could give your pet a Petpet, and if you were very lucky, they'd magically "acquire" THIER own "pet", a Petpetpet, which were almost all some sort of cute goofy lookin flea or louse or something. A parasite, honestly. Which gave me this silly idea that maybe Pokemon keep Pokerus mites as a pet in the same fashion. I know in the main series games they're described as "microscopic organisms" so it's sort of a creative liberty type thing but the idea was fun enough to draw. He doesn't have a name yet (aside from "little guy") but the Pokerus Mite is based on the status symbol in a Pokemon's info screen from I believe gen 6 onward.

Sorry for my absence! I kinda fell off the face of the internet after the start of November. The reasons are many and complicated and more than a little emotionally upsetting, I've got a series of journals writing it down as it happened if you want the juicy, festering details (mind the trigger warnings!)... ANYWAY. Moving along with my life! I've still been drawing, as the inspiration and energy comes, and I've got a little pile of stuff to upload. Hope you enjoy the surprise art bomb, hopefully I'll be a little more consistent in the near future :3 Wishing you all a happy and safe 2025
