THIS.
YES.
Iv so been looking forward to this.
This makes me want to... go redo mine, but I know I shouldn't. XD!
Sexiest outfit ever:
Guh. o_o Yes, please. Too bad Tracey would never dress that nicely (Unless he married someone who picked out his clothes for him. : |), because he looks amazing.
Then again, I do like him as a walking rainbow, too.
But then, #6 is perfectly acceptable, too... %D...
I always just assume Tracey is 18. We probably will never know his real age, and he's pretty much ambiguous like that. He certainly acts like he's at least 18. : |;
And the last one!!! Ack! Definitely my favorite.
I can understand Apprenticeshipping feeling more like a father/son sort of relationship than anything else. Maybe I just crossed the line once and it converted me for life D; (Or I'm just weird). But this is like, way too cute to exist!! D: < He's all, tired and using the folders as pillows. I think I might actually... go explode now. Yup. That's what I'll do.

Oh, bless you!
You don't need to redo yours, it's perfect! It's all in color and has a cohesive art style and everything!
I know, I keep wanting to do a story with some kind of winter setting, jus' so I can put Tracey in longpants and a turtleneck...mehbeh even a bulky Mareep-wool cableknit...:nosebleed: (dA needs an icon for that, don't they?)
Yeah, I could see him at 18, but I kinda peg him at 16-17 in the "current" chronology (where Ash is 13...he does age, he does--STFU, Anime Logic; la la la la la, I can't heeeaaar you...). I used to think Tracey was Brock's age, but now I think he's a year or two younger...he just SEEMED older at first because he's mature and quiet & stuff (though in his very first ep, it sounded a little like his voice was still breaking, lol).
Hee hee, I'm so glad you like that last scene, I was totally thinking of you when I worked on it. I hope you 'sploded softly. And you're not that weird, I read ApprenticeShipping and like it just fine--and when you do it, it's especially adorable!
My father/son thing, maybe it's just because I think Tracey's youngish, or just that I kinda like "surrogate family" relationships, or because I have father issues or something. On my attempts to write Trace a backstory, I usually assume he had an absent (or jerkass) father, and he then latched onto Professor Oak as a positive male role-model, like.
Or maybe it's just 'cause the Eldershipping Brigade got to me first!
Anyway, thank you so much for wonderful comments! And I'm sure you have more Tracey art for me to look at, I just am having more laptop phail and my roommates selfishly want to use their own computers themselves, so it may be a while.
Ta for now!

I don't need to redo it, true... I just want to. XD 'Cause while it's consistent and I did put a lot of work into it, I feel like Iv improved a lot since I finished it, and could do him better justice now than I did then.
...Either that, or I just enjoy drawing Tracey in questionable predicaments a little TOO much.
Totally, yes, the characters have aged a little bit. When you look back at earlier episodes, Ash has come a LONG way in terms of maturity. There's no way he's still ten years old. I totally didn't look or act like that when I was ten. D; A year (or maybe more) passed by the first year of Johto's arc, because Ash and Pikachu had their best friend anniversary shindig in the third movie short. : | So I'm guessing four years or so have passed. If Tracey were 14 from the start, he's 18. Hahaha. (Plus, would the authority of Pokemon research trust a kid to take care of his lab? ...lolIdunno... Maybe. XD)
It's funny you mention that. Iv always assumed that Tracey doesn't have an actual father figure, too. o_O;
I can imagine he use to live with his mom, as his dad had left or just wasn't around, maybe another preoccupied Pokemon trainer (As all those ambitious, reckless men in the Pokeverse typically are...). Out of spite, that could explain why he's chosen an alternative lifestyle as a not-much-of-a-battler, and more of a curious caretaker (Maybe he has siblings, but nothing outrageous like Brock's massive family or anything... Since he only kinda-handles Ash and Misty's bickering in a gentle-nervous sort of way...
...And I'm reading WAY too far into this. ._.;;;
Eldershipping is all sorts of fun, though! I kinda lean onto that side, too... Since Delia and the Prof. are so close and all (I was writing something for my Eldershipping side into my comic, which Iv since had to discontinue due to life eating away at my life and all that. What a shame I have to deal with reality and work on other things, occasionally... )
Anyway, totally understand computer issues. D: Hope it works out for you, though!

No such thing as reading too much into this! Speculation about characters' backstory and motivations are one of the prime main courses at the fannish banquet!
Yeah, my imagined background for him is similar...I usually assume that, if Tracey has siblings, they're either much older or much younger than him--he just seems like he hasn't had much sibling-level interaction in his life. The least I usually give him is one much older brother, based on the "ji" part of "Kenji" which implies "second son" (of course, so does the "jiro" element in "Kojiro," while James is canonically an only child, but so it goes ). I see him as having a very good relationship with his mother, but I usually assume she died at some point, and he's not close to whatever other family he has, which is why he doesn't talk about his past a whole lot (i.e., ever).
I'm sorry to hear you've had to stall your comic...if you need any help/critique/encouragement on it, I could try to be of some assistance, 'cause I'd really love to see it get finished. Are you "blocked" on it, or just short of time? If it's just the latter, I might say something like, if you could do one panel a day, or even just two or three per week, it would at least be a little progress, and would probably make you feel a lot better about things in general.
Anyway, must dash, talk at you later maybe!

OMG WHAT. There is nothing about this that is not unmitgated AWESOME. <3
As you can see, this inspired me to sign up over here--am glad I did!
I remember writing that scene. I think it took me about five minutes and was just a little "lol" for the day. I didn't think it would be something that would lead to even more hilarity! I love the explanatory arrows and Trace's forlorn expression. (He's actually kind of pretty, though--good job, May, that plan just might work?)
Also, that one in #3? That seriously made me feel funny inside. WOW, that is a HOT look for him and we need to see more of this RIGHT NOW.
In conclusion, I love your drawings and I have to go and look at more of them.
<3 <3 <3,
RG
