Gameboy Rumors

 Pokémon Red and Blue had lots rumors surrounding it. Like Mew under the truck.
 One of the most infamous rumors is Dragonite's secret evolution, Yoshi!

    How To Get Yoshi

      First, catch Dratini and evolve it into Dragonair. Trade it to the opposite game for Dragonite. Trade back to your game.
       Next, if not already done, defeat the Elite Four and your rival. Then catch Mewtwo. If these steps are pre-done, enter Cerulean Cave and go to Mewtwo's room and use a thunder stone on Dragonite.
      And Viola! You've got Yoshi in Pokémon!

       Why This is Fake

          During the '90s, this rumor was published on April 1 by J. Ester. This is an automatic red flag. So why did people believe this obscure rumor?
          This article was printed in a popular gaming magazine. Magazines and newspapers were the most reliable sources of information in the 1990s. The internet was not as powerful as it is today, and you couldn't find photos bigger than a thumbnail. Due to that, people believed almost any information about video games they got their hands on. That's because you couldn't use the internet to confirm the info.

Conclusion

     Soon after this rumor rose in popularity, it was disproven. To summarize, the Dragonite Yoshi rumor was just an April Fools prank thought up by a gaming magazine to trick gullible readers.

  Mew Under the Truck

     People believed that if you used strength on a truck in Vermilion City, it would start a battle with the first Mythical Pokemon, Mew. 

Why it's Fake

    Mew was only distributed through events in Japan and was never available in the United States. People have tried to do it but have failed.


    Moral of the story: Don't trust everything you hear.

The Best of the Best

It's a Beautiful Day Outside - Undertale Fanart

Image
Drawing Time: Approx. 2.5 Hours Characters: Frisk - Undertale sans - Undertale I slightly changed my way of drawing Frisk, but I'm kinda here for it. Sorry for the insane amount of Undertale fanart recently. It's just my favorite video game. I think it's important to note that I haven't done a genocide route before. I don't really like how I put Frisk in this drawing. They don't feel like they're in the scene. For once, I like the background the best. I don't want to talk about sans in this drawing... If I were to do this again, I'd probably make Frisk reflection be shown in the tile. I used so many add layers for this. I also experimented with Gaussian blur and motion blur. I used my normal shading tone for the base shading then did some overlaid multiply and add layers to do some coloration. Stay Awesome! <3

Unfinished Symphony - Dream SMP Fanart

Image
  Time: Approx. 1.5 Hours Character: Wilbur Soot (Dream SMP) So... I've been absorbed. Here's some C!Wilbur fanart for y'all. I've kind of been hyper fixated on the L'Manburg part of the Dream SMP, so expect a bunch of fanart for that. I'm thinking of doing some Technoblade fanart here soon. Maybe some Ghostbur?  If you for some reason can't tell what this drawing is supposed to be, it's supposed to be just after Wilbur presses the "blow up L'Manburg" button. I'm pretty proud of this whole thing. If your wondering why pen pressure has left the chat, that's because I lost my tablet pen. I'm going to try and find it, but it's not the biggest deal for now. Stay Awesome! <3

My First Doll Repaint!: Day One + Photos

Image
Hey guys! Just a few days ago, I began getting obsessed with doll repaint/ customization videos by  Dollightful . So, I started making some doll hair out of yarn. Now, little did I know then that in the next day or so (I'm not done yet...) I would completely bald, deface, and reroot and repaint a barbie doll. Now, wanna see pictures? For this part, I tied off the dolls hair to save for my next repaint. After tying it off, I chopped it off. Between this step and the next one, I shave off the rest of her hair with scissors. And this was the point of no return. In retrospect, I should have contemplated my decision to complete strip this doll of its identity and give it a new one. I used some acetone nail polish remover and for some of this, I had on a makeshift gas mask. Also, BROTHER CAMEO! So, I finished wiping off the facial features and I removed the nylon head by soaking it in boiling water from the kettle for thirty seconds then worked it off with...
