I decided to go back to the Gen 1 starters for this Near Pokédex M entry. This finally wraps up Squirtle’s evolution line on both sides of the ‘dex. For the female Blastoise I went more along the BBW route, leaning more into a big and soft body type. For the male side I went more muscular, which is probably more accurate for the original design’s philosophy anyway.
My Subscribers voted for the Swimming Club to get their next card. This is a fairly well-established club in the Studio, but this was a good chance to go a bit more in-depth with their activities. Like always, the member who got the card was randomly selected, but I think Nessa has a lot of fans and I haven’t drawn her often. She comes from after I dropped out of Pokémon, so I don’t know her super well, but here she is posing at the pool.
It’s been quite some time since I played Breath of the Wild, but I remember really loving Urbosa and Zelda’s scenes together. I’ve always had a soft spot for this ship, so I knew as soon as Urbosa came in through that One-Shot I would take the first opportunity I got to do something with them together.
The art here is an updated/fixed version of a much older sketch I never got around to using (and probably never would). I’m glad I got to get some mileage out of it here, and I hope some of y’all will enjoy seeing these two together in the Studio.
Tsareena is one of the obviously sexy Pokémon people seem to be drawn to a lot, so I figured I’d go ahead and do her Pokédex entry. I kept her iconic thigh-high heels, but gave them more of a human shape. She has these really flared hips that, while I’m sure they’re meant to be part of the Pokémon’s body, I felt looked like clothing and so removed whatever it is for this pic. The top part I just lifted, since I wouldn’t know how to draw her face without the turtleneck.
Like always, the script for this One-Shot was selected from Subscriber submissions. This script is one of those One-Shots where each panel is kinda its own little scene. Aside from Urbosa and Link, I’m not really familiar with any of these characters (I barely met All For One before leaving MHA, and I’ve never seen this newscaster girl before). I know Chris and Sheva through occasionally seeing them in SFM animations, but I don’t know anything about them. The last two girls seem to be a rich girl and her maid from one of the recent Pokémon games, but this was the first time I’d seen either of them. I hope my lack of familiarity with them didn’t affect too much, though, and y’all can enjoy this collection of little scenes.
Considering Zel debuted in yaoi content, I think he’s had plenty of time to get used to it in the Studio. I can’t imagine him ever preferring anything over being with his precious Mitsue, but if he’s branching out I think he can manage to be a bit flexible. I thought it’d be fun to pair him with some other pointy-eared blonde boys in the Studio. This Subscriber had another Ask for Zel about working with other elves, but I didn’t want to use that once since I wasn’t sure if it’d open a debate about if Hylians are actually elves or whatever.
Recently I noticed that, while I had done the first two stages of this evolution line for the Near Pokédex M, I hadn’t done Luxray. I figured it was time to remedy that, so here he is.
So this Subscriber-submitted One-Shot is based around my ClashMe app concept, the hook-up app for heroes, villains and damsels to set up sexy encounters. With the exception of the second panel, I like that each of these pairings fits well into the interests of the characters (not to say the second panel is out of pocket, just that it feels more like a random pairing). Shego seems to have a thing for redheads, even when she’s going outside her usual rivalry dynamic. Magia Baiser and the Sailor Scouts is obvious in a way that shouldn’t need explaining. As for Zelda, the Briarwood vampires fit her aesthetic for captors pretty well, I think. Of course, Sylas Briarwood wasn’t in the Studio before this pic, so it’s not a pairing I would’ve made, but Subscribers don’t have to be limited by the same concerns as me when crafting scripts.
After doing the rest of the evolution line for Near Pokédex F, here’s Oddish to round things out. Like Vileplume, just adding some eyelashes to its simple face design does a lot, I think. Hopefully y’all will think she’s cute and enjoy this pic.
