I was originally going to try and match the weights Gon was lifting here to ones he lifts in a gym in the anime, but it fit weirdly into the Ask shape so I gave him a lighter load. I don’t have the faculties to elaborate on this answer today, sorry, but I think this one mostly speaks for itself.
While thinking over which Pokémon to use for this entry I remembered early on when I was thinking about how to handle Gastly and its evolutions. This was a Pokémon I meant to get to early on, but always found others to do instead. So here she is, I hope this interpretation of an anthro Gastly is to everyone’s liking. There’s a few different ways I’ve seen this Pokémon drawn with a body, but I think this approach fits this series best. I’ve decided that the female half of the ‘dex will focus on this evolution line for the next couple entries, so look forward to NPF Haunter in a couple months.
So there’s a few different characters who I could’ve paired Alex with here, even more if you count “spy-coded” characters like Kim Possible. However, something about pairing Alex with Lana spoke to me, and I’ve been thinking about Archer more lately for some reason anyway. So here’s the first drawing I’ve done of Lana since 2011 with Alex of Totally Spies!
For this month’s magazine cover I asked Subscribers to nominate characters with some sort of animal connection to their character, excluding furries. I got a lot of good nominations, but decided to go with Inosuke who’s still riding the momentum from his runner-up spot in the first Superstar Tournament.
The “Knuckleheads” in Azumanga Daioh is a nickname for the trio of Tomo, Osaka and Kagura. While it’s usually just Tomo getting on Yomi’s nerves, they have collectively frustrated her as well, and I figured it’d be fun to see the Studio version of that.
This Subscriber has been pushing for something with Beerus bottoming for a while. The biggest obstacle to this was that their Asks and such mostly hinged in this premise of swapping roles to train Beerus. Since Beerus isn’t the one who trains Goku and Vegeta, it never made much sense to me to use those questions. For Scenarios I have a bit more wiggle room to play with, however, so I basically abandoned that element of the scene to instead fork in dialogue about the character who’s actually training them, Whis, who I’ve already drawn with all three of these characters at different points.
A pretty self-explanatory Ask here. I decided to let Choso and Inosuke just work one-on-one despite their shared connection through Yuji.
It took a minute, but I finally got around to wrapping the penultimate installment of this series. Part of why this one took so long is that episode five’s heroin, Reiko Terayama, while probably not my favorite overall girl, has some of my favorite shots in the whole series. So I was a little intimidated, plus I had too many ideas for things to do with her. I balanced this a bit by having this installment be a two-panel affair, which I hope will cover my bases.
It seems like Zarbon just arrived to the Studio and, after learning how things work, started hooking up with Vegeta immediately without catching up with him at all. He’s meeting the family now, though, the hard way.
Here’s the sixth page of “Leave It All On the Court.” Not much to add here, but Yoinks and Maki seem to be having fun.
