I went back and forth between a handful of ideas for this Ask, and in the end I thought it’d be cute if I presented it like Killua was interrupted using his favorite toy.
This Character Ask was a unique one for me. Excluding projects where I was not the artist, I’ve only ever really drawn Harley Quinn in commissions. The version of Harley used in those commissions is her more recent comic design, where she’s bleached like the Joker and has the pink and blue pigtails. However, I’m not really a fan of that design. My favorite version of Batman is still the Bruce Timm one, and so I tend to favor designs (for both Harley and Poison Ivy) that are closer to that approach. I almost used the Bruce Timm art style for this Ask, but decided instead to lean closer to the comic aesthetic but using the designs I prefer. If I draw these two outside of a commission (and I have a few unfinished works that will hopefully go up some day), then it’ll be these versions.
As for Harley’s answer, well, it seemed like the obvious choice to me. Poison Ivy is my favorite person to pair Harley with (followed by Dick Grayson, tbh). Despite the way the question was phrased, I do not view Harley and Joker as a sexual pairing (Harley may want that, but I can’t help but read Joker as asexual and disinterested). When my friend Anya suggested the “plant” pun that just sealed the deal for how she’d reply.
Goku finally gets his first Ask! This one references my comic Special Training, though really I don’t have any plans to use that concept for Goten. I think I’ve said before that if I do a sequel to that comic it’ll be with Uub. Like Goku says in his answer, Goten prefers training with Trunks over his dad.
This Character Ask was kinda interesting for me. I mulled over for a bit how I thought Deku would answer, because the truth is Shoto is one of those characters I can kinda see going either way with Midoriya. I haven’t really drawn the two of them together by themselves before, but I like the idea that they can both switch it up. Then I thought about when they fought each other, and the sort of relationship they have in the source material, and it hit upon me that in sex, like in superhero training, they could push each other by being similarly talented. That kinda led me to answering it this way, where neither one is really on top or bottom and they’re trying something new.
I felt a bit bad about this Character Ask. There wasn’t really any room for a creative answer here (not that I know if this person was hoping for a specific one of the options given). Link already has a canon set of undergarments, though, which I used here. I tried to make up for it by drawing him wearing them as sexily as I could think of.
Unless I am mistaken, this is the only person whose Ask I didn’t get to last month. While last month’s was one I had put off for some time because I didn’t really want to draw that character again (and, before I knew it, the month had passed me by), this one was a welcome change as I’ve actually been wanting to draw Mickey for a while. I have a comic featuring him I’m coloring over on the blog, but other than that the only time he’s shown up in my work was in a commission where he was paying Goofy to let Pluto fuck Max. Since that’s the entirety of his appearance is my own work (colorizations don’t count), I decided to use that in Mickey’s response.
