BAM another submission because why not. It's been a while since I've entered a challenge! I think gijinkas are a lot of fun, so I thought I'd join haha~ ;o

I decided to draw my old Staryu gijinka character. (Also I just realized I drew that first pic of them for a pokemon gijinka challenge too WHOOPS;;;) If you don't remember... their name is HMNNNHIIIO................. due to a tragic mistake (aka I messed up and accidentally pressed submit on a keysmash when I was setting their nickname in my Pokemon Sapphire file). I gave a go at redesigning them for the challenge to make them look more Staryu-like. I tried to go more geometrical and structured (?) than the previous design, like on the shoulders and with the boots. >:U The single pant leg is because Staryu's actual design has like... a ring around one of the legs or something.

I actually managed to draw this all in one day! It took me about 2-3 hours, I think? Not bad. B) The scan isn't great though... and idk how I feel about the weird border either, ahah;;; SHOULD'VE DONE THE BORDER IN PAINT....
Drawing and posting something in one day reminds me of my old days on theO, when I could finish a drawing in like 45 minutes and post it immediately.............. man I used to post so much back in 8th grade, hahah;; xD; Since this was pretty fast for me to do, I'm considering doing commissions like this.... not sure yet, tho. I still have a ton of stuff to do for Otakon, so I probably wouldn't even open them until after that. BUT! Idk. Just a thought.

ANYWAY.... yeah. Have a SWELL TUESDAY.

Dedicated to Keya for making the challenge!
