Otherside Picnic is a yuri mystery anime focused on Japanese internet urban legends. I found myself enjoying the friendship between Toriko (blonde) and Sorawo (glasses), and wanted to draw them together at least once. I kinda doubt I’ll do much else with this series, but this was just a pairing I wanted to get on the books while I was still thinking about the show.
I mentioned in Makima’s NHML post that there were several upcoming Character Asks that were made before she debuted in the Studio, and this is the first of them. Please be patient and play along, knowing this happened months before that pic. Here’s what I wrote at the time:
So, I’ve had this notion for how Denji would act in the Studio for a while now. While it’s true he’s a desperate horndog virgin in the source material, he’s also completely dedicated to Makima (for better or for worse), and I don’t think that would just go away in the Studio. I can’t really say for sure if Makima ever will make it to the Studio, I assume she will eventually but she’s not a priority for me. Until then, though, Denji’s got his heart set on letting her be his first time.
Iruma’s exactly the right type of boy I’m looking for for this series, so it was only a matter of time until he showed up here. I’m hoping to eventually getting around to drawing more of his series, but we’ll see. For now I hope you all enjoy a little blue bunny.
Maron and Marron are both pretty minor side characters tied to Krillin, one made for anime filler and one originating in the manga first. They were both named by different parties looking to expand on Krillin’s “chestnut” name pun. This is the real world reason for them having almost the exact same name, but that hasn’t stopped jokes around Krillin naming his daughter after his ex-girlfriend. Either way, I thought it’d be fun if Marron let a little of her dad’s side come out here in her reaction to Maron, and it was fun to get to draw her with her signature GT hat after drawing her so much without it for PPP.
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.
Continuing to try and get out Pokédex entries, I half-remembered seeing this cute horse-like Pokémon a while back, but couldn’t remember what it was. Turns out it was actually a legendary from a period where I wasn’t paying attention to the franchise, Keldeo. I thought he’d be a fun one to do, so here he is.
I like the idea that Nagatoro accepted this dare expecting Naoto to be ineffective at giving her orders. However, Studio Naoto’s been gettin’ gangbanged by anons, as we’ve seen in his Asks, and he’s come out a bit stronger-willed as a result. So he’s put what he’s learned to good use here, hopefully people’s imaginations can fill in the gaps as we witness the aftermath here.
The premise for this Mini Commission was to have Boruto checking out his own ass in the mirror. I felt like showing the reflection itself would be outside the bounds of a Mini Commission, and the prompt said it should be more of a side view anyway, so I drew it a bit more behind the mirror. Hopefully the scene is still readable in spite of this.
This is a pretty simple little one, but I think that’s okay. I haven’t drawn Mob and his bro in a little bit, and some folks seem to like these comparison Asks. I feel like the differences in body types between Shigeo and Ritsu are pretty intuitive, Mob’s got the size while Ritsu’s got the shape.
