22nd July 2025I’ve been simping over this unnamed NPC for almost 10 years!
It’s crazy to think that Pokémon Sun & Moon is 9 years old now. I recall playing and battling my college friends while studying game development like it was yesterday. After all this time, this design has lived in my head rent-free; it’s such a crazy good design! That being said, the art direction of S&M on all fronts was spectacular! Here’s hoping that Pokémon Z-A can follow up on that.
It’s been a while since I’ve done an animated illustration like this. It was a joy to animate and flex those Moho muscles again. I’m not gonna lie, I much prefer Moho Pro over Spine 2D as animation software goes, but it’s kinda important for me to learn Spine 2D over Moho as it saves so much space/resources when it comes to making games.

It’s always a treat to redraw a character and see how far I’ve improved. Here are some of my older S&M artworks;
These two were collaborations
Closing thoughts
In other news, I’ve been trying to learn Unity recently, but every time I try to learn it, I get bombarded with problems and issues. I think the universe is trying to tell me something: either to take a break from game dev for a little bit, or to look out for another game engine to learn (or maybe it’s both?)
My soul still wants to make a game for a console, but maybe the universe is telling me that it shouldn’t be a major priority at this time? Either way, it’s my birthday in a few days, so I really should ease into the relaxation vibes.
