A while ago I sketched a bunch of pin-up and POV pics of characters I felt I hadn’t drawn enough. Most of those will probably never make it to the final stages, but this Casca one is an exception. While coloring this one I thought it’d be funny to use the wording of the manga when describing Guts’s sword to describe the weapon he’s using here. I think it’s a nice touch.
I was a bit hesitant about this Ask. However, I was a bit heartened to see someone show interest in Cal after his debut got a bit of a cold reception. I didn’t want to pair him with either of the gals from his debut, though, partly because it feels too soon for that and partly ’cause I needed this to be a yaoi Ask. I thought it’d be fitting to pair him with another boy we didn’t get a good look at in his previous appearance, Lied Shax, who was fully dressed (in drag) and mostly just a face the only other time I drew him. I think he’s a cute and fun character, though, so this Ask serves to highlight both boys I guess.
I wanted to get back to the concept of Anya pairing up with Studio studs, so here she is enjoying the Studio pirate ride, Luffy.
When reading this question, I had this realization that gambling in the Studio probably wouldn’t be that fun. There’s always a risk with how I portray the Studio that it’ll come across like the “A Nice Place to Visit” episode of Twilight Zone, but also I’ve gone on record that money is sort of just a prop for Studio residents. Maybe it’d still be fun to gamble or bet on things for some people, but I don’t think it’d hold Toji’s interest given my read on his character. So, of course, I wanted to show Toji passing the time in the normal Studio fashion, and figured it’d be fun to pair him with Megumi for it. I haven’t decided yet if Studio Megumi knows his relationship to Toji, given what he knows in the source material, but I figure it didn’t need to come up for this Ask to be answered in this fashion.
With this entry I believe all of the Gen 1 starts and their evolutions are covered on the female side of the Near Pokédex. Blastoise is one I’d been putting off ’cause I wasn’t sure how to handle the shell with how I wanted to draw her body, but I decided to do what I’ve seen some furry artists do and just treat the underside of her shell like skin. I think she turned out pretty good, and I hope y’all will enjoy her.
I like Tommy topping Takuya about as much as I do T.K. doing the same with Matt, Tai, etc. The main reason I’ve never drawn these two before is just that they’re from well after I stopped watching Digimon, so I don’t really know them or think about them. I thought this Ask might be fun for a little run with them, though, and I hope you Digimon fans out there will enjoy this one.
Bonyu’s a minor character in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, a game I’ve never played and don’t know much about. Bonyu herself stands out, though, being an apparent former member of the Ginyu Force and another member of Jeice’s race. It’d be really cool to see her show up in something else, I think, ’cause she’s got a great design and seems interesting. Apparently she quit the Ginyu Force ’cause she was too serious for their posing and shenanigans. I decided to draw her with her former leader, though, showing one reason she might’ve tried sticking it out with the group before giving up on them.
I thought this pairing would be cute in a similar way to Rika/Renamon. I don’t have much to add here, though, but I hope y’all enjoy May and her Blaziken.
So, this was originally going to be the second panel of the last Hidden Orchard Society page. I had an idea for a different angle on things, though, so I set this aside. I still liked the drawing and wanted to finish it, so for the second time in a row we’ve got a little sequel to an HOS page. It looks like Cal had a long night.
I was thinking over this question, and I thought it might be fitting of Envy was motivated by a bit of jealousy towards all the other characters (and there are many) who’ve been paired with Goku over the years. I don’t think he’d just admit that, of course, but I tried to play into that motivation in his response here. Of course, mostly I just thought they’d result in a cute pic, and I hope some of y’all will agree.
