Bowser + Junior

Here’s a commission I recently wrapped up featuring Bowser and Bowser, Jr. While I get the attraction for these characters (their designs, particularly Junior’s, are quite cute), this is a bit outside my wheelhouse and comfort zone. I don’t feel like characters along these lines really play to my strengths as an artist, nor do I really feel like I do the designs the justice other artists with different skillsets might. Nonetheless, I’m happy to draw them for a paycheck, as I did here, and hopefully the final result isn’t to terrible for those who are into the koopas.

Red Character Ask 1

So, my first instinct here was that Red wouldn’t be rankled. He just doesn’t seem like the type to me. However, I then had the thought that it might be kinda funny if the picture implied the reason he wasn’t rankled was because Ash is such a slut and he’s enjoying the benefits of that, too. It is, after all, a bit difficult to hold a grudge against someone with your cock in their mouth (or so I’d assume). So, now that I’ve explained the joke, hopefully it’s 10x funnier.

Near Pokédex M133 – Eevee

So here’s Eevee, who tied with Squirtle in the last Near Pokédex poll I ran. Now that they’re both done, I’ll be moving on to an entry for the female Pokédex (which one has yet to be determined). Hope you all like this entry. It didn’t go exactly as I’d hoped, so it’s difficult for me to look at it with fresh eyes, but I think it’s at least still cute.

Jessie Character Ask 2

My first thought reading the question for this Ask was Jessie’s original response. Jenny and Joy both seem like returning characters, but there’s actually very few times any of them make return appearances in the show. Jennys even get unique designs (especially in later seasons), though I went with the more standard design for recognizability’s sake. I had a few different ideas for how to convey the concept here, but in the end this is what I went with.

January ’19 One-Shot

Here’s the One-Shot comic selected from a collection of scripts submitted last month. Smash Bros. had just come out, and I was really into it (still am), so the timing was good ’cause I was in the mood for Smash porn. I’ve always wanted to use Smash Bros. as a platform for content, but I never seem to be able to settle down and do some. The script here did not specify poses or dialogue or anything, so I got to plan out the page myself. ^_^ I added in lines from the game that I thought would fit the scene, for those characters who have lines like that.

Also, here’s a new episode of Near Talk where I talk a bit about my thoughts on crossovers and what I find appealing about them:

Near Pokédex M007 – Squirtle

So I had a poll like usual to determine the next Near Pokédex M entry a while back, and it came down to a draw between Squirtle and Eevee. I decided the only right thing to do is both of them, so the next Near Pokédex entry (whenever that comes) will also be a male entry. In the meantime, here’s Squirtle, finally rounding out the Gen 1 starters for both NPM and NPF (though their evolutions are far from complete just yet). I always have problems drawing anthro turtles. I don’t know how their shells are supposed to work, and just like with the NPF Squirtle I ended up kinda winging it and hoping for the best. I’ll probably end up doing the same for any other future turtle Pokémon that show up for the ‘dex.

Ash Ketchum Character Ask 5

So, I treated this Ask sort of like if the question was, “Which crossover makes the most sense?” Obviously there’s more of a precedent between Pokémon and Digimon, with the two franchises seen as being competitors and the forerunners of the monster raising genre. Also, I think if I was going to pair Ash up with someone in My Hero Academia, it wouldn’t be Deku, but Denki. Their personalities seem closer (though I think Ash and Deku would get along great, I think he’d have more in common with Denki). There’s also the little matter of Ash already being very familiar with powers like Denki’s, and I think you could draw some cute parallels there. 

Photographic Documentation

This is a commission I fulfilled through the Epic Tier this month, featuring Ash and his Greninja with Todd Snap. I don’t know how familiar everyone is with the plot developments of Pokémon XY, but Ash’s Greninja has a special form called Ash-Greninja where he takes on some of Ash’s physical characteristics and also gets a skill boost through their link. I don’t want to explain the form too much here, but that’s the basic idea. The premise of this commission is that Todd wants to photograph this form, but since it kinda happens on its own in battle they decide to try and instigate the link through other means…

November ’18 One-Shot

So here’s the One-Shot selected from the scripts submitted by my supporters last month. I think Mamoru here was only included in this concept due to his angel appearance in the end credits (I never saw GaoGaiGar, so I don’t know if he has those wings at any other time in the show). Even if he’s not actually an angel, I think his inclusion here is nice. He’s a cute character I’m not very familiar with and never would’ve thought to draw otherwise. The actual poses and dialogue here were left up to me, and I did my best to have some fun with them. I wanted to include something with an eggplant since the Eggplant Wizard and his spell is one of the few things I know about the Kid Icarus games (I mostly know the characters through Smash Bros.). I did a little research on GaoGaiGar to write Mamoru’s dialogue (it’s a reference to the show, but I don’t actually know if fans of the show will make the connection). Hopefully it’s not too forced, haha….
