The client for this commission wanted to see Red, the original Pokémon protagonist, paired up with Nurse Joy in her anime design. I was all too happy to comply, since I’ve been wanting to draw Nurse Joy for a while. Some day soon I’d really like to try drawing her again (I’d love to do her paired with Officer Jenny, or do the tanned Joy that appeared in one episode of the original series). In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy this pic.
First off, let me say that this isn’t part of the Twenty. This is actually an older commission I took on a few months ago, but due to the size and scope of it I’ve been working on it as a background project (like I do the comic pages).
This commission comes in four parts, which will be released whenever I finish them. I just recently wrapped up this first part, featuring our boy Mowgli when he’s first been captured by those pesky monkeys. It’s been a while since “The Jungle Book” has shown up here, and I hope you guys are as happy as I am to have Mowgli around again.
So with the twenty commission slots I’ve been selling, I’ve accepted a number of commissions that break the mold of what I typically do. This is another such pic, as Donkey Kong and Bowser are both characters I would typically use as a top, and probably not focused on much at all even then. However, even though this isn’t my thing, I thought the concept was pretty interesting and I wanted to try something different. Hopefully some of you out there will enjoy this as much as the client who commissioned it. 🙂
