Flower meadows and ocean breeze. Scented candle men.
For the Perfectworldshipping week prompt "Scent", with our boys from the Mer!Lysandre AU! One of the many subtle ways you could tell these two come from different worlds (aka Lysandre is a fish).

#TraditionalArt #ColoredPencils #PerfectWorldShipping #Chibi #FishDontCry

Chibi-style illustration showing two small scenes, featuring a red-haired, bearded man and a gray-eyed, dark-haired man. In the first "scene," the dark-haired man is relaxed, almost lying down, and the red-haired man can smell the scent of flowers (symbolized by small flowers hanging above his head). In the second "scene," the dark-haired man is sniffing the other's beard and can smell the sea.

A little something for the Perfectworldshipping week prompt "Give and Take", with the Lysandre&Augustine from our Mer!Lysandre AU! (Here in human form, thanks to the local sea witch ;) )

As Lysandre himself says (in Masters EX at least): "It's important to share with others. Be careful not to find yourself always taking. Ensure you're also able to give."

Augustine is a very giving person in general, and they make little gifts to each other! Sometimes is more of the other's favorite food. Sometimes it's a perfect, shiny piece of fossilized ammonite shell that has immense scientifical and market value. Surprise!

(This is also an illustration for the chapter five of "Fish don't Cry", where this exact thing happens :) archiveofourown.org/works/7597 )

#TraditionalArt #Chibi #ChibiFanart #PerfectWorldShipping #FishDontCry

Black and white, chibi-style illustration. The protagonists are a man with light hair tied in a high ponytail and a well-groomed beard (but no mustache), and a man with dark, wavy, and neatly combed hair. 
In the first sequence, the dark-haired man is seen holding an ammonite and saying "Wow." The bearded man asks, somewhat nervously, "Do you like it?".
In the second sequence, the light-bearded man (indicated by an arrow with the text "shrimp fiend") is seen looking at a plate full of shrimp held by the second man, who is saying "I got you shrimp!"

Lil' Augustine wants to be friends with a mermaid. He thinks that throwing random objects in the water will be enough.
Remember: the sea gives, the sea takes. Hey, exactly like legendary pokémon!

Illustration to accompany a little fic, both created for the PerfectWorldShippingWeek2026! Theme: Family/Childhood.

You can read the fic here: archiveofourown.org/works/7921

Traditional illustration, done in ballpoint pen and pencil, of a dark-haired human child placing a shell necklace in the water. In the water, a young pistrix (a type of merfolk, but with characteristics similar to those of an oarfish) examines the same necklace the child placed in the water.

Looking for some samples together, now that the tide is a little lower. Isn't this what they call "quality time"?
(Once again, a sketch from our sketchbooks, done with ballpoint pen).

#TraditionalArt #OdysSea #FishDontCry #Illustration #Merfolk #Pistrix #PerfectWorldShipping

Black-and-white ballpoint pen illustration of a man sitting on rocks, reaching out to a humanoid creature in the water. The man on the rock has semi-curly, dark hair and is wearing a shirt and pants; behind him is a bucket. The creature in the water, whose muscular shoulders can be seen peeking out from the water, has straight hair, slightly drooping because it's wet, but which would normally be straight up, and a lowered dorsal fin can be seen protruding from the nape of its neck.

The most beautiful man you've ever seen isn't a man. He's a silver fish, with carmine fins, and a body like a reflective ribbon stretching into the abyss.

Digital illustration for our merfolk Pokémon AU.

And we even came up with names for them! (Normally, when we "transport" characters into our AUs, we tend to change their names, since we already know the characters will change until they become completely unrecognizable OCs... so they're a bit like "Schrödinger characters," both fan-characters and canon until we "open the box," or in this case, until the book arrives).

Merman!Lysandre will be Sangreal (he already has a page! fantasydiario.blogspot.com/202 ), while Professor Sycamore becomes Professor Seraphin Panorme, a marine biologist. You can think of it as two AUs: one where they are alternate versions of Lysandre and Professor Sycamore, and one where they are alternate versions of the alternate versions (and don't worry, we'll be working on both! Both Merman!Lysandre and Sangreal will just have more or less the same design, despite having separate identities. We guess? It's blurry, we'll see case to case).

We should start writing their story soon (fingers crossed!), and we promise it will be... absolutely epic.

#perfectworldshipping #MastoArt #Pokemon

Meme redraw with Lysandre and Professor Sycamore from Pokémon X&Y. Lysandre looks angry with his arms crossed as he goes on a rant about fujoshi fetishizing gay men, and is interrupted by Sycamore going "HEY EVERYBODY IT'S BIG SEME HERE" while doing a double peace sign

#Pokemon #MastoArt #perfectworldshipping #LegendsZA

Digital art of Professor Sycamore and Lysandre from Pokémon X&Y in a simplified style. Both of their designs have been aged up with wrinklier faces and hair going grey/blond. Lysandre is sitting on a red and black motorized wheelchair with his hair tied in a ponytail while Sycamore stands behind him, leaning against the back of the chair and smiling at the viewer. Sycamore's hair is longer and he has a goatee.

New ⁠#introduction post for 2025! It will be about the same as usual, but I'll try to make it worth your while...

I'm Samifer, but you can call me Sam! I'm a French transmasc artist in his early thirties, currently trying to make a living in Austria alongside my two partners and our cats. I speak French natively, English fluently, and Japanese at a beginner level (I'm out of practice...) I can read most romance languages, although I've forgotten 95% of the Spanish I learned in school, unfortunately. I'll also be learning German in the future as best as I can.

My main area of interest is #Pokemon :pokeball: most specifically Pokémon X&Y (and Kalos in general.) I do love all things Pokémon, but I'd be lying if I said I don't spend 99% of my energy on my blorbos, lol. My favorite character is Lysandre and Sycamore/Lysandre (aka #perfectworldshipping) is my OTP and has been almost since day one, back when we were all gayposting about them on Tumblr. Other fandoms I've been most active in over the years have been Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Mob Psycho 100 and Yume Nikki/.flow. I love videogames a lot and most of my fandoms are videogames, and I'm also interested in weird/experimental videogames in general (a love that was definitely given to me by Yume Nikki and creepypasta nearly fifteen years ago at this point..!) I'm also very interested in international fandom culture and history! As a French guy who has experience™️ with the French web, it's always fun to learn about what fandom is like beyond the anglophone chokehold.

I draw and write, largely fanfic, although I've dabbled in original fiction (mostly smut in the last few years, lol.) I'm also a frequent event participant, mostly exchanges, and occasional event mod (fan weeks and promptfests have been my speed, but I'm trying to branch out!) I post most of my art here (and on other platforms) and occasionally link to my fic, though I don't always remember. To be clear, though, this is mostly a rambling/personal space, where I share reminders of things I want to do, random thoughts about my blorbos, complaints about fandom and real life, excitement regarding exchanges I've joined, etc. As well, I am very openly kinky and kink-positive, and do not mince words when it comes to that, so this account is very firmly :over18:. I'll always include warnings for both art and discussion, however.

I'm also not interested in getting involved in discourse or pointless debates. I'll sometimes privately express my thoughts on some drama happening, or share a funny tidbit I stumbled upon, but I'll never get into fights or do anything that might contribute to harassment or overall negativity. I want to stay focused on what I enjoy!!!

If you'd like to send me things anonymously (drawings or questions) I made a strawpage here: insecateur.straw.page

If you'd like to learn more about me, or see all my links, you can check out my rentry here: rentry.co/samifer

Thank you, and nice to meet you! :blobInnocent:

A screenshot of the Pokémon Masters 2nd anniversary trailer showing Professor Augustine Sycamore and Lysandre from Pokémon X&Y facing each other alongside Xerneas and Yveltal. Text colored in a blue, white, and red gradieng around them reads, "We can't decide the future just from how you think it'll turn out! Enough of this unfruitful debate!"

#MastoArt #Pokemon #perfectworldshipping

Digital drawing of Lysandre and Professor Sycamore from Pokémon X&Y. They're both wearing wintery outfits: a large red coat with fur around the collar for Lysandre, a slimmer dark blue coat and a scarf with light grey and light blue stripes for Sycamore. Lysandre is standing behind Sycamore, hunched over slightly to put his hands in Sycamore's coat pockets alongside Sycamore's while Sycamore turns to smile at him. It's snowing.

Full-colors Pokémon X&Y fanart. Lysandre and Professor Augustine Sycamore are standing facing each other. Sycamore is holding up a metal plate with a few Litleo-shaped cookies on it. Lysandre is holding one up to his mouth and taking a bite. They are both blushing. Sycamore looks embarrassed, sweating a little, while Lysandre is so moved by the gesture that he's started tearing up. The colors are bright and saturated. Behind them is a close-up on three Litleo-shaped cookies. They are a bit wonky-looking and leaving crumbs everywhere. There are sparkling effects around them. The background is light beige with a yellow square at the top, a wallpaper pattern texture overlaid over it.

me as bf approaches: DON'T LOOK AT WHAT I'M DRAWING
bf: why
me: because it's squid game prfr

#MastoArt #pokemon #perfectworldshipping

Digital Pokémon X&Y fanart of Professor Sycamore and Lysandre as Squid Game players. At the top , they're standing next to each other, having just gotten their dalgona for one of the games. Sycamore is holding his metal box in one hand while his other hand is held up to his mouth, looking up at Lysandre. Lysandre is looking at his own box in his hand, seemingly distressed. There's a little doodle of a pink manager next to them labelled "Me". At the bottom, Sycamore is holding up his freshly and perfectly cut triangle, eating the rest of it with a very happy expression. Meanwhile, Lysandre is looking at his untouched umbrella, sweating and shaking.

#perfectworldshipping #MastoArt #Pokemon

Digital fully colored Pokémon X&Y fanart. Lysandre and Professor Sycamore are standing back to back wearing matching outfit. Both have a black jacket and pants paired with a red sweater for Sycamore and a blue sweater for Lysandre. Lysandre's hair is tied into a ponytail and he looks back toward Sycamore with a smile, his arms crossed. Sycamore is leaning toward him with one eye crossed, one hand held to his face and the other held up to point as he smiles. They are both sparkling. The background is a flat color divided in two, red behind Lysandre and blue behind Sycamore, with a damask wallpaper pattern overlaid on top.
