Character Asks

Harley Quinn Character Ask 1

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.

Izuku Midoriya Character Ask 6

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.

Mickey Mouse Character Ask 1

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.
