Monster Rancher

Genki Character Ask 2

It feels like it’s been a minute since I’ve done a “standing around” Ask. I get why people would make a connection between Genki and Ash, since they have a lot in common, but for whatever reason I just can’t make it click in my head to make them a pairing. If it came up in a One-Shot or something I wouldn’t refuse to do it or anything, but it’s just not a pairing I think I’ll ever feel like doing on my own. If I did, it’d probably be something similar to Goh’s debut pic, where they’re getting fucked side-by-side by their monster pals, but if I did do that I’d probably feel inclined to include Tai and maybe some other monster trainer boys… and then at that point it’d probably become too big of a pic to be worth doing. This will be the last Ask I do for the July batch. The next point where I would normally do an Ask will instead be something new, so I hope y’all will be looking forward to seeing how that goes.

Genki Sakura Character Ask 1

So I couldn’t really show Genki with another monster here, since Asks are meant to be limited to characters I’ve drawn before. However, I did want to try drawing him again. The first pic this question is referencing was drawn back in 2016, and I’m not really happy with it anymore. I do like Genki, though, so I kinda see this Ask as a way to see how interested people might be in seeing more of him. As for partners, of the core group in Monster Rancher I really only see Tiger and Hare as good options. Mochi’s basically a baby, so that’s a little weird, I have no idea where a cock would go on Suezo, and the idea of taking a rocky cock from Golem sounds more painful than anything. However, there’s lots of other monsters, too, and I always saw Genki as being a bit similar to Ash when I’ve drawn him with a variety of Pokémon.

Genki Caught

I used to freakin’ love Monster Rancher as a kid. Well, the games anyway. I’ve played hours upon hours of Monster Rancher 2 and 4 (I loved the original, too, but those two I played the most), and if I can ever figure out the best way to approach it I’d love to do a Let’s Play one of them at some point.

Being such a fan of the games, I of course watched the anime when it aired on Fox Kids (I was watching most of the Fox Kids lineup at that time, in fact). While I was never as big a fan of the anime, I still enjoyed it at the time and am nostalgic for it now. Like most shows I liked back then, though, I’ve come to discover that the main character is a pretty cute shota. =^_^=

Featured with him here is Tiger, a monster in the game who was represented as part of the main party in the anime. I always thought the name “Tiger” was weird for a monster clearly modeled after a wolf, but I think it comes from a mis-translation of “Liger” (the original Japanese name was “Rygar”). While these monster don’t really look like ligers, their design in the very first game was a bit more like a liger than a wolf. I’m no expert, though, and am only making guesses. All this talk of ligers is making me want to revisit Zoids, though, which is another show I’m nostalgic for.

I don’t know when, but I would love to do more Monster Rancher in the future. Both the anime and the games have a lot of potential. Back when the blog was starting I tried to do a pack of pics featuring every girl in MR4, but that fell through and now they’re too embarrassing a quality to even consider finishing. Still, though, there are some really cute characters in that game, including one femme-boy named Talt that is just adorable.

COY 17 – Zhen Ji/Rio

COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 600 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.

It’s a bit funny to me that a random process for character selection would churn out two video game characters, but here we are! Zhen Ji is from Dynasty Warriors, and I decided to go with a general appearance for her, rather than try and imitate a specific design. Rio is from Monster Rancher, a game series I’ve gone on record before as being a fan of. Truth be told, I actually have a pack of images drawn for all the prominent female characters of that game, but the project tapered off and none of them are done. Now if I were to post them, they’d be pretty far behind my current level of work… but at least we have this!
