Norbert

Well, it may not be Lunala, but Umbreon's probably the superior result anyway, wouldn't you agree?

@garuruokami.bsky.social

Well, it's not quite Solgaleo, but Espeon has its own prestige, don't you think?

@garuruokami.bsky.social

I assure you, the rabbit's enjoying this just as much as I am~

And thank you for the picture, since I haven't thanked you properly yet! It's a really fun one~

Go on draw the polar bear! Extend his time as a bear~ I hear he really wants to stay a bear longer...

This was the first time I've drawn something for someone in about 5 years!

So long as I'm Norbert, it's only fair that I work to become just as good a magician as he is~

Only a little late! But I finally tackled the rest of the sketch!!

Seem's the magic hat's not quite ready to give me up, thanks to @groovingroo.bsky.social! When will the formlock end? Well, that's up to all of you!

Every new picture of Norbert I see will bearbrain me for another week~

It's difficult to be a bear during #macromarch...

@garuruokami.bsky.social

~~Kind of you to let him keep his waistcoat, I usually leave the OG Norbert in a bowtie~~~

A dashing bear-in-progress!

The formlock ends in less than two weeks, but I haven't drawn nearly as much as I want to! I'm not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to the bear, so maybe we can keep this going longer~?

If anyone would be interested in doodling Norbert, I'll extend the formlock a week per drawing! No cut off date~

He makes such a good one, after all.

Someone gave me this old card for Pokemon Day, and- ... Oh. Well that explains a lot...

@garuruokami.bsky.social

You mean the original Norbert? He's one of the rabbits that live in my hat~

I should've known better than to wear one of these during #febrooary...

Idea shamelessly taken from @joabaldwin.com, a much more skilled artist than I. =V

Must Go Faster.

Just because I'm Norbert for the next couple months doesn't mean I've escaped my bond of service to @garuruokami.bsky.social's Roku.

Thank you! I can't take full credit for it; it's actually a spin on an idea Garuru had where the vest became a collar with the hat as a tag!

Upper management at @garuruokami.bsky.social's Sealand thought that since I had so much experience being an otter already, I'd be a great temp Skipper!

... W-wait, this is the park's off season!

Just call me Packsong Pup.

The urge to be a Poochyena can be overpowering sometimes, even for a bear such as myself!

@garuruokami.bsky.social

Seems you'll be staying that Pokeball a little while longer!

So looks like @weazel75.bsky.social caught himself a Shiny Watchog...

Inspired by his time lock as @garuruokami.bsky.social's Norbert... I decided it might be fun idea to try it myself for Groo...

I might do hidden milestones "upgrades".

I was feeling nostalgic for one of my old DND characters.

This ref is based on an older by Garuru himself, which you should also check out! He draws the bear much better than I do. =p

And that's a wrap! We ended up with 1542 hours of extension, or 61 days 6 hours, ending 6am March 6! ... But since we started this little event on December 7, I'll just go ahead and make that March 7, for a solid 3 months as @garuruokami.bsky.social's Norbert~

Today's the last day you can vote to extend this little timer of mine! The cutoff is midnight tonight, eastern time, so if you're interested in seeing this bear for even longer, be sure to get your votes in before then! =p

That's a whole three and a half weeks as a bear! A long time for a change happy otter like myself. =p And you could make it longer still! I hope I don't regret this~

I'll be spending the rest of the year formlocked as @garuruokami.bsky.social's Norbert!

If you might be interested in keeping me like this even longer, you can do so by showing this TF some love, from now until 12:00am, January 1, 2026~

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, all. Wasn't really able to draw anything Christmas themed this year, but here's an older one of Daikenki.

T-that's a lot of time!
