As you might expect, we’re winding down on this project. There’s still a couple pages to go, but I hope y’all are still enjoying the ride.
This is the second of the three Aoi Hana MomSwaps I have planned. Akira is Fumi’s best friend and eventual love interest, and while I like her as a character she’s less my type design-wise. That creates an interesting dichotomy here for this entry, because it’s basically the daughter I’m least interested in plus the mom I’m most into, of the trio. Anyway, I hope some of y’all will enjoy these redheads.
There were a few Scenarios submitted this month for Valentine’s Day. While I didn’t choose this one specifically for the timing (even though this is going public in May, for Subscribers it came out on Valentine’s Day), I did pick it mostly because I really like the gems disproportionate to how much I’ve drawn them. I don’t think I’ve ever done anything with the three of them appearing together, and I believe this is a fun way to change that.
A while back I did Ghastly for the Pokédex F, and I mentioned at the time that I planned to do the full evolution line. Obviously this is me sticking to that, with Haunter here. I tried to translate how Haunter’s hands just float separate from their main “body” here with this more human shape, including translating it to the legs. I hope that reads well and y’all enjoy her.
The theme for this cover was nature-related characters. I didn’t really have anyone in mind when I posted the theme, but I think the only real options were Captain Planet and Poison Ivy. I went with the cap primarily just because he’s taking an anon role in the pic series focused on his show, meaning I’ve never properly drawn him before. So this magazine hopefully remedies that.
