Part 1, Week 1

And we're back: Welcome to Mood Theme in a Year 2026! Whether you're here for the Maximum Track, the Medium Track, the Minimum Track, or just to watch and cheer along, I'm glad you're here ♥ I hope you have a good time!

This week's moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused

The next six weeks are the only ones where the moods are the same for all three tracks, so it's pretty special! I hope everyone has fun with it.

Anyway! What are you working on? Are you making a mood theme of any size, working on a different art project, or just here to follow the fun? What medium are you working in? Is there anything you're looking forward to? Let's talk about it!

Woohoo! I'm going to commit to the maximum track, and I'd like to make a mood theme for my favourite Pokemon, Magnemite.

I'll be using official art (concept, cards, sprites, etc.) and manga scans to make my mood pics. It will probably be difficult, as Magnemite isn't the most expressive of Pokemon with its single eye and no mouth :P but I'm hoping I can find things that work. I'm also thinking of making all the pics black and white regardless of source so they blend in with any future blog layout I might use.

I've never done a mood theme ever before, so this will be fun!

That sounds amazing, and very ambitious! Still, the range of expression you can get out of even a single eye is pretty impressive, IMO.

Honestly, screencaps from the anime episode where Magnemite was introduced might be perfect for both Enthralled and Indifferent; color balance when switching to grayscale on those might be tricky, though.

Best of luck!
