Artist's Comments

Copy/paste description from where I originally uploaded it (furaffinity.net).

Okay, first:
This image has more than 70 friggin layers. OMFG A LOT OF LAYERS!
Also, the grass is fail, but hey, I tried.

Cast drawing for the 'Roar' stories, of which only one is uploaded so far.

Errors: Hiino (the Fearow) is WAY too small, Seii (the Nidorino) is somewhat too big.
Other than that, sizes differing from the default measurements and other non-default appearances are either due to age or how they've lived.

Secondly, short descriptions of the entire 'Roar Is Not A Social Skill' cast, first half written by Oddeye as those aren't my characters, second half written by me. Don't steal our characters~

Eric, Pokémon trainer.
A shy guy with a serious expression on his face most of the time. Bad self esteem could be better.

Ekkie, ever young Ponyta.
Eric's best friend. They have been together since Eks came out his egg, which means this strong little pony often gets underestimated.
He worries a bit of his trainer but is otherwise happy with life. The foalish curiosity is still strong.

Horsea, the... Horsea.
The little shiny Pokémon is pretty much the retard of the group. While other Pokémon actually know when to run and hide, this little creature will happily blow bubbles at whatever standing in front of it.
Though it has rather girly colours, it is actually a male.

Cul, the grumpy Scyther.
Asocial and uncaring, this is the outsider of the group. He seems to only care to work with Eric, and the moment the trainer is not there, he will stop working together with the group and rather stand aside.
The scars are most likely from his minimantishood as he is not really strong and prefer to let the opponent win instead of doing anything to prevent it.

Viro, leader of nothing. Tauros.
Being rather large it would be stupid to stand in the way of this Pokémon. He rarely cares to look at what he is stepping on, be it earth, a tail or his trainer's foot. He is headstrong and a bit thickheaded, and none of the others will see him as the leader he was and still thinks he is.

Maa, electric sheep.
Possibly the cutie of Eric's team - at least she is quite certain that she is. She has a bit of a puppy behaviour and if she has the chance she can and will sleep on Eric. Her electric wool makes this kinda unpleasant for the trainer, though he can pet her without feeling the little sparks. She likes cotton candy.

Skarmory, steel chicken.
Not yet named, and it does not seem to mind. It likes Eric a lot for some reason, and if left out of the Poké Ball it will follow him around like a duckling.

Dustskull, loser of the ghosts.
Named like this due to having a weird liking to dust, especially collecting it and making small piles of it. It does not react on any other names, so after a while it was what it was called. Not very strong for a ghost, and is often just floating around doing nothing, even in a battle.

"Big" Ben, Cubone.
Was rather small when caught, due to malnutrition, and thus fondly nicked "Big Ben". He has grown a bit since then, but still likes being called this. Likes lollipops of a certain size which he can walk around with instead of the bone club that is left with Eric for the while.

Kin, fuzzy Furret.
She has a thing for running through pipes and holes and in general any tight spot she can find. This practice is rather neat when it comes to running around the feet of a larger opponent.

Eevee and Umbreon.
Both part of a larger project of Eric, because while he might think of himself as neither a collector nor a researcher, the mystery of the Eevee has been fascinating him since he was a small kid. He has several Eevee with evolutions, and when he is home once in a while he visits them for closer examinations and, of course, playing around.

***

Liz, Pokémon trainer.
An optimistic and slightly hyper mid-teen girl who loves traveling around and seeing new places and Pokémon. Very easily distracted, but a decently good trainer.

Nanda, guardian of the pack.
Liz's starter, given to her by her parents. The fire puppy is rather self confident and hardy, and will fight till she faints without complaining if she thinks that will keep her "pack" safe. Generally tries to keep everyone together.

Quapsel, overgrown tadpole.
Most definitely more than developed enough to evolve, but too fond of his Everstone bracelet and not too bad at jumping around for a 'mon with perpetually "newly grown legs". The most frequently used of Liz's Pokémon, this little fellow has quite the courage and seems to be afraid of nothing - except birds.

Seii, poison rhino-bunny~
Quite the oddball of the team and not easy to predict. He's usually rather quiet and keeps to himself when out with the other critters, usually only playing with Dish.

Dish, emo drooler.
Turned rather depressed once she evolved to a Gloom and everyone shied away from her stench. Her trainer eventually got used to it and has since then been working hard on getting the plant back to being happy. She mostly only feels safe with her trainer and Seii, and she's one of those critters you want to feel safe...

Chuu, ele-mouse.
First sparkling (electric) critter his trainer encountered and immediately fell for. Generally adorable and charming, seemingly able to get everyone who falls for a cute face to like him. Has a bad habit of pickpocketing, though.

Zue, coolbat.
Of a hundred bats in the cave, only she decided to steal Liz's sunglasses. Has been wearing them ever since, completely ignoring that she technically has no eyes. Rarely ever speaks and seem to prefer to be mysterious and vamp-like.

Cirain, young dragon.
Chose to be caught mostly out of curiosity after seeing the trainer fishing Magikarp up from the lake it used to live in. Constantly curious and wondering, and does occasionally get hurt from stuff like sniffing at a Beedril.

Wig, tiny mole.
Randomly caught female Diglett. Very fast and quite good at causing small earthquakes. Extremely chattery but somehow manages to never really say anything.

Kiit, long critter~
Liz's first, and so far only, Johto Pokémon, a happy and hyperactive Furret who enjoys hunting his own food down when she lets him. Also quite fond of swimming.

Hiino, mischievous flyer.
Mocking at every opportunity he gets, he's usually the one keeping to himself or making fun of others. He doesn't seem to mind being left alone, though.

Ratti, gnaw-it-all Raticate.
She seriously gnaws it all. Quite fond of scratching too, and seems to suffer from mood swings. You'll never really know what she'll have planned or if she'll obey the next order.

The Hoppip is random and neither of us know where Zue picked it up. >_>;

That Skarmory is the cuteness. Though I must ask, are Furret really that large?

:iconzyarrihl:
Messed up some of the size differences (the Fearow is way too small for no good reason, the Skarmory is small because it's young, the Tauros is way large because it has just grown that big while leading a herd and the Ponyta is approaching Rapidash size because he's past the lvl he'd have evolved if it wasn't for an Everstone and we figured it'd make sense with continued growth)... But yes, the Furret are oversized (also for no good reason). Not sure by how much, though, they're supposed to be almost 4 feet long.

Tl;dr version: Not sure but probably no, I had troubles getting their length right.

Haha, that was quite an explanation! I kind of like the Skarmory better small and the Ponyta larger.
