If it wan't for me wanting to do as much details as I can, I would be still puting scales randomly instead of doing them on a whole body. xD

When it comes to Poké-plushies, my family had a ton...
Even these weird ones, that have a zip line that you can open to turn them inside out, then they become Pokéballs.

I'm a little jealous. xD When pokemon first came to Poland they blown up in popularity really quickly but by the time Gen 2 came out, it was like they never existed in the first place, no merch, no cards, no plushies, the only thing we had was anime that aired on tv and video games but they were really rare.
And honestly out side of anime convetion plushies and other pokemon merch is still really hard to find, even with recent Pokemon GO app. At least video games are more common that they used to be, at least I can find them in my local stores, lol.

It's baffling, since your country is just next to mine.
Oh my... O_O Germany even invaded Poland at the start of WW2...
And that was not even 100y ago... So hard to imagine, right?
Me and my siblings had that custom of using tiny Pokémon figures for everything.
I don't even know what these were or where they were from. Just a bunch of very small figures of Gen 1 Pokémon, we used as players in boardgames, put into Lego buildings etc...
Also, we'd use Pokémon Stadium on N64 to determine arguments etc at times... It had these funny minigames and we made contests XD
But that was only a few years a long long time ago...

The funniest thing is that at one point in Poland, Digimon started airing, kind of rival to Pokemon, and they had even less merch than pokemon available. We had only first season of anime and McDonald's happy meal toys.
I don't know about toys but I for 100% know that Germany had all seasons dubbed, how I know? I watched Digimon as a kid on RTL because of obivous reason and I didn't even care that I don't understand anything, I just watched because I liked them, lol.
It was strange years later, when I got fully into Digimon, to rewatch in english and slowly rememering that I watched them in language that I didin't know a single word. I was a really strange kid when I think about my childhood.
Back to pokemon I do remember that I owned few figurines, and some Cheetos metal tazo but It was all mostly Gen 1. Tho beacuse of lack of merch I remember that used to do my own figurines from modeling mass for kids, I think it's called plasticine in English, I don't know to be honest. But then came time when I was bullied in school for liking pokemon so I fell out for really long time untill I went to high school. I still looked if they had figurines in toy stores, but they rarely had anything. When Pokemon Go came of then not gonna lie, they were everywhere, but now after a year there is barely anything pokemon related in stores, again.
I think I'm done venting for now. xD

Oddly, everyone I know who liikes Pokémon hates Digimon... You are the first exception, I ever met.
You have german Television over there?
Makes it even weirder that Pokémon wasn't getting more grip.
There were a few polish influenced street names and such... For instance: Some parts of Berlin have "semipolish" names if I remember that correctly. Other than that... Never heard much about your people... There's only this extremly common stereotype, that all polish people are cleptomaniacs.
So how's it over there?
You still have some of these figurines you made yourself? If so... Do you have photos? Cause they sound interesting.

I once saw a photo were, person was watching Digimon while playing Pokemon Y, I think, and there was caption saying "am I going to Hell now?"
I as a fan of both, I just don't understand the hate Digimon gets from Pokemon fans...
When I was a kid my Grandfather had satellite TV, and with polish versions of foreign TV channels there were few channels like RTL that were broadcasting stright from their original country. As for stereotype, that we are cleptomaniacs, in google maps there was streat photo were you can see that four people are stealing rails from railroad track. xD I know it was in 2014 but I don't know if they changed that or not. Of course it's just small minority of people usually poor or alcocholic, but this type of people exist every where, I think at least, maybe I have too much faith in my country, lol. One thing for sure is that we aren't cleptomaniacs by blood. xD
Sadly no, because that mass was reusuble so I would scrap figures and do new ones, but I do have my first figures when I started to do polymer clay ones. I'll take pictures if you want.

I never even got to see Digimon because it got hated so much... It was pretty much a forbidden topic.
Hardly ever saw any merch for it... Always just Pokémon.
So all I know about it is from the few times I got to see bits of it on TV when zapping through channels.
Since german is my mother tongue, I literally can't imagine how it would sound to someone not speaking it hahahaha...
A fun game could be to throw sentences of our respective mother tongue's at each other and guessing, what we are saying without any help of translation devices etc.
Since I know next to nothing about what Polish sounds or looks like...XD
Excited to hear/see stuff from others... I mean, I even enkoy it when certain people rant/ramble on about stuff towards me.
So what would be your means of sharing such photos? Would you just upload them here?

I always here that german sounds very aggressive and angry xD
I learned english, Latin and even a bit ancient greek... But do not ask me to try speaking greek... That language is an utter nightmare.
At least I can still read greek letters xD
These are awesome... Clay you say? Fascinating... I only ever build starfighters out of Lego...
My proudest selfmade thing is a completly remote controlled Chaos Predator, i. e. A driving tank with loads of spikes...
Close second, My chaos dreadnought. Despite the name, that's a demonic war-robot-thing...
I built it with exchangable arm modules (based on the source material) and if you press the left shoulder, its eyes glow red.
Ok, I'm done talking about these, now... But I'm just incredibly proud on these...
*curls into a ball and meeps* Whatever... I'm happy about every reply I get, late or not. Yours I assure you always are a joy to read^^

In finnish, "Ja" means "and" in german, it means "yes"...
It's gonna be a simple everyday exchange word you use a lot? Am I wrong already?
I won't cheat and look it up. Thus, that's my guess... A frequent tiny word for either grammatically correct sentence construction or simple exchanges.
It's funny how proud these plastic bricks make me... Like I do not even let anyone near them unsupervised xD
You are a fun and pleasent and also very consistent person. I have other nice people to talk to and stuff, yes... But you are one of the few who have been consistently kind. Which is why you were included in that line up of gifts I made.
I feel like that kindness should be rewarded.
Yeah, on that: For practicing purposes, I played with the idea to do such gift pieces for these selected few on Christmas and their respective birthdays. Exercise on art with different chars concentrated in one spot and sprinkled throughout the year.
So I must ask: Do you wish to be included there, too? It just means that you get a free image from me for Christmas and for your b-day as long as I can come up with good ideas...

*Drum rolls* and in polish "Ja" means....."Me" or "I" depending on context. xD
I understand how you feel, I do the same when someone wants to look at my polymer clay figures. xD
Aw, thank you. ^w^ I feel very honored. Well I have this belief that "If you want people to be kind to, be kind to them in return." coupled with that I'm very patient person, it's really hard to make me mad. Maybe it's because I wasn't very liked as a kid, I donno really. xD
You don't have to do gifts for me on those special ocasions, even if it would be awesome, Tho I wont stop you if you want to. xD

Wow... At least my vague guess was... Right?
So let me return the favour and up the stakes a bit:
Here's a german rhyme that is intended to be funny in a goofy way:
"Ich tötete den Albatross,
weil er mich gar sehr verdross."
Yeah, for my mother, cleaning my room always was a nightmare... So much Lego and I would insist to be the only one to repair my stuff...
Which I still do. xD
Yeah... I second your opinions. The saying goes: "A hard childhood often shapes great characters." or something.
I wish more people would grow up and try to prevent the evils they experienced from happening to others. What is the best way to do that? Well, just not doing them yourself.
Really. If we want this earth to be a better place, we all just gotta treat each other with a certain level of respect.
At the end of each day, we are all but simple humans.
"Mean" behaviour however is crucial for survival. Survival ain't never pretty. It is our duty to learn to not drop all humanity in trying to stay alive. And that is extremly hard.
So by all means. Stay kind and friendly.
It is the greatest thing you can do.
I'll see what I'll come up with... For now, I got a gift for one friend remaining, and the background's almost complete, but I fear I ran out of imagination at the moment.

I cannot, even vaguely, guess what that means. xD Tho I think "Albatross" is a sea bird? I definitely heard that word somewhere.
I luckly have small space between my cabinets, with two shelves and that is where I store my most precious figures. I even covered one part of the space, with clear plastic cover, so dust won't get there. xD
Well as they say "We learn on our own mistakes". Fortunately we don't have to fight for survival, yet, so I can be nice all I want. xD
I wish I could help you with inspiration for background, but backgrounds are my weakes points. :')

And... *drumroll*
"I killed the albatross,
because it made me so very unhappy."
A nonesensical joke-sentence that is used here and there since it rhymes in german xD
I feel so envious that I never had that idea! xD
Yeah... Learning from mistakes is something many people end up being too stubborn for...
Even intellectual people can be very narrow minded at many times...
In my eyes a lot comes down to how we cope with our own dark sides...
All of us can be cruel, and so on... And we have these sides for a reason.
There's a very great Star Trek TOS episode on the matter:
The captain while getting beamed aboard the ship literally gets cloned and they get an evil and a good version of him on the ship. The evil one is very very violent and manipulative, but also very corageous and smart, the good one tries helping to capture his "twin" of course, but often lacks the mental strength to make decisive choices as a leader and is somewhat of a coward. He has to rely on his first officer to help him out a lot.
The episode ends on the two "twins" literally embracing each other before getting recombined.
I drew from the landscape of my usual dreams... Big empty plains with a few roads and grey blocky buildings... Grey skies and: A tornado in the distance... After some thinking, I have a theory why that is of course, but yep... My dreams tend to always have a tornado in the background, even if it does nothing.
And they mostly take place in that small village I grew up in the first few years I can remember... Plain, empty terrain with roads... The grey blocky buildings are the mall my family went to go shopping...

I don't know what to say anymore. xD
But one thing I can say is that my dreams rarely inspiere me, because they are so random and nonsensical, that I can't find a way to interpret them and not to mention that when I wake up I start to slowly forget most the dream. Tho I remeber few dream that I had, like there is one where my father was scaring me by releasing Tarantulas around the house and I could float for some reason...xD I guess I was so scared that I learned how to fly so those spiders wont get me. xD
And here is one that I still remember it vividly... So for context my flat in this dream, was consisted of two rooms which was mine room connected to my parents room and this is where front doors were located.
So I lay in my bed, it was dark, like it was still middle of the night. I hear knocking on the front door and I hear my dad talk with someone. I don't pay attention on what they are talking about but I get worried when I hear that my dad leaves with unknown person and he tells my mom to get dressed and join them as soon as she can. So I then decided to get up and go check what is going on. I walk out of my room as my mom was almost ready to leave, and here is the part that shook me the most, I get this bad feeling and I ask "Will you two come back?" like I knew the anwser and she looks at me with this sad look on her face like she knew as well. Then she opens the door and as she leaves, she tells me to close the door behind her. This is where I woke up. At first I was stunned when I opend my eyes but I didn't get affected by the dream, maybe because I tried not think about it, but when my mom got home from work and I retold her that dream I started to cry like someone just died.
Dream like this one are rare but I still have them ocasionally. I mostly dream about random stuff or about impossible scenarios in real life. I even dreamed about being a dragon at one point. xD Nothing that I can use in drawings, maybe when I someday start doing comics then maybe they'll be useful xD

Because that it is literally the landscape in 90% of my dreams.
Sometimes I'm in a car with my family, sometimes I'm in a house... Most often however, I'm at that mall. And seriously, I have no clue why that is. This scene is already common, but even more common is me being within that mall within that landscape. My family used to go shopping there, I visited it a few times in recent years... But seriously every dream I have has usually one part taking place in that mall. Now to melt your mind: The super market located in that mall, the very shop I went to with my family so often... It's called "real". Like no joke. That is the name of that particular supermarket-chain. So a "real"-market keeps showing up in my dreams.

Speaking of strange things... You said I could give you weird ideas in notes, right?
Cause by now I think I have one or two...
Been a while since I talked to anyone in such long comment chains...
But I'm also bereft of things to say here, so we'll see to the next, hm? xD
