PKMN: Departure from Littleroot Town

Something I drew for ORAS’s release. It’s been a long six months of waiting and hyping, but we’re finally here.

I’ve already waxed poetic about how much Ruby and Sapphire meant to me so I’ll spare you once again (though I suppose if you’re really interested, the blurb I put in the artist’s comments on dA pretty much sums it all up)

For this, I wanted to draw the heroines of both my Hoenn stories: Laura, who started her journey ten years ago, and Mae, who is starting hers now. Both of them are setting out from the same Littleroot town (from the same house, even; Mae moved into Laura’s old house), and their journeys are going to intersect in interesting ways as the story progresses. I’m almost as excited to write about them as I am to play the game itself.
