Nurse Joy Character Ask 1

I haven’t done too much taking my Near Pokédex versions of Pokémon and pairing them up with established characters from the original franchise. A couple of the trainers in that series resemble characters loosely, but really there’s no named human characters from that universe. I figured our resident Nurse Joy might get something out of comparing these more anthro/human Pokémon to the ones she knows, and decided to take that route in answering this question.

Near Pokédex M041 – Zubat

While I’m pulling from any ol’ era for this series, I am trying to get more of the original 150 Pokémon done when I can. Zubat occurred to me recently as a potentially fun candidate, so here one is.

I went back and forth on weather Zubat should have arms with bat wings coming out of the back, or just have bat wings for arms. While I haven’t gotten around to any bird Pokémon yet, my plan for them has always been to go the angel route over the harpy route, so I applied that logic here.

Near Pokédex M032 – Nidoran♂

Nidoran’s a bit of an odd Pokémon. With as many as their are now, I could be wrong, but I think they’re the only Pokémon with separate Pokédex entries for their males and females. They didn’t really know how to handle things like gender or breeding in the early days, so instead of just having males and females that look different we have two unique evolution lines. I did a Nidoqueen for the female side a while back, but now here’s a male Nidoran.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2025

Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!

Edward Elric Character Ask 4

So we’ve occasionally done these sorts of Asks, where the premise is built on two characters bearing a resemblance. Once of the points of comparison for Ed and Link, the prosthetic arms, isn’t really present in the Studio, but they’ve still got the blonde ponytail thing going on. I don’t think they’re quite close enough to warrant confusion, though, but I did think the idea of them being seen as a good pairing for a bigger top sounded fun. I actually had something I was toying with for a bit featuring these three characters specifically, and I thought this Ask would be a fun way to test the waters and see if y’all like this dynamic or would want to see more of them.
