May Character Ask 1

Normally I’d try to avoid doing an Ask with a character who just appeared in one recently, but given how long May sat on the shelf since her debut, I think she deserves an exception. I was surprised to see a number of people celebrating her appearance in Clover’s Ask, I didn’t realize she was popular with Pokémon fans. She’s also one of the few members of Ash’s revolving party who’s in the Studio but not been paired with him on-camera, so I figured we could fix that and get her a little more attention while we’re at it.

Clover Ewing Character Ask 1

Drawing the Totally Spies trio in that previous Ask got me kind of in the mood to do more with those girls. Hopefully that will take the form of some kind of regular standalone art eventually, but for now this Ask was appealing to me for that reason (also I think it’s been a minute since I answered one from this Subscriber). I’d originally planned to pair Clover up with two characters meant to mirror Alex and Sam, but I decided that’d go against the spirit of her answer so I went instead with two basically random characters. May’s been sitting in the 1 Club for years now, and while she’ll probably eventually show up in Hypno’s Harem, she won’t have to wait that long to make her second appearance. I was also never happy with her first pic, so a better one’s been due for a long time. And April’s always a fun character to go to, especially for crossover stuff.

Kurapika Character Ask 3

So, I was trying to think of bad boys who Kurapika wouldn’t take much issue with. He’s pretty straight-laced, but I feel like it’s hard to really hold a grudge against someone like James. Being completely incompetent while also pretty sweet can help a lot in this regard, I think. However, I couldn’t decide on who I wanted to top or bottom. I was thinking of having James top, but then the idea of them making a good team came into my head, and I really liked the image. So, instead of a partner to fuck, Kurapika could see James as more of a collaborator, and I like this shot we got out of it.
