🕑 Added 2019-07-13 08:32:10 +0000 UTCY'all already know all about the Sugimori interviews, which will make up the bulk of the betamon covered in my next two YouTube videos. But I've also got some very early concept art for Sawsbuck that I've analyzed (not what's pictured above) -- which it appears no one's ever really done before. So that concept art and analysis will also be in episode 21. I only mention this to you guys, because I don't want anyone stealing my thunder on this, like what's happened with the Sugimori interviews.
In order to recreate the Sawsbuck concept art, I've enlisted the help of Grace Kraft -- an artist for Cartoon Network and Disney who does art and writing for shows like PowerPuff Girls and Steven Universe. She usually charges about $250 for 3 pieces of art like this, but in my case she made an exception and did a skill trade -- I'll be editing a demo reel for her in exchange. So just know that y'all's Patreon contributions won't be going towards incredibly expensive art.
The sketches pictured above are from Grace -- still in revision (the stage 2 and 3 horns don't match the concept art), but I just wanted to give y'all a quick look. Rachel Briggs (aka RacieBeep) from Helix Chamber has also done some original artwork for these next 2 YouTube videos. She charged me $20 a pop, but I think it's worth it, given how historic these interview translations are, and how important it is to recreate these lost Pokemon with the highest level of quality.
So yeah, I'm pretty excited about what I'll be posting over the next month.
Cheers guys, thanks again for all your support.

It's taking a while, but I really want to get these two videos done right. Proper artwork, proper translations, quality editing -- all that jazz.
