So this is an Ask I’ve neglected to answer for a couple months now (sorry WildBlue). I just couldn’t think of an interesting way to have Ash respond that felt, like… right. I believe this Ask is specifically trying to play into a fetish for being nude and being seen nude, but that’s kinda hard to work with, especially when all the Asks are answered in the nude anyway. So if Ash answered “no” (which felt right, honestly, though I also had trouble thinking of how to phrase it), then his answer would be super weird if he was also just standing their naked. When I did hit on his answer that he gives here, though, that felt really accurate for a response. It also gave me the chance to give some more interesting visuals, since he could kinda demonstrate the results of him being nude around his Pokémon. I went with Infernape as his partner since 1) I didn’t want to introduce a new ‘mon I hadn’t drawn yet and 2) While I’ve drawn Infernape, I haven’t drawn him with Ash despite Ash and his Infernape having a really cute dynamic in the Diamond and Pearl series. I think that covers all the explanation for this one, so please enjoy seeing Ash get his ass wrecked by a fire monkey.
This post was originally going to come out later in the month, but the client who commissioned it already released it elsewhere so I guess I’m moving it up the schedule. Also, he added a texture to the boy’s scarf that wasn’t there in the original (it’s a pain in the ass to do a texture like that and have it look good, but I guess he didn’t actually care if it looked good so that’s my bad), since that’s what he wanted I’m using that version here.
Anyway, this commission was purchased through my Epic Tier on. The client wanted his Pokémon OC Idriss (and his Lucario) tied up and toyed with by an Infernape and Zoroark (the latter of which only appears through its arms in this picture. I typically tend to turn down OC commissions, but I took this one on since this client has been a supporter at a high level for a long time and I think that loyalty deserves some special treatment. Hopefully you guys will enjoy seeing his character made the plaything of wild Pokémon like this. ^_^
