These sorts of Asks can sometimes be a bit tricky. It’s easy enough to just pick a position (though sometimes I have trouble even answering that, since I don’t really know much about which positions feel good, just what looks good to a viewer), but I usually feel an obligation to include some dialogue that isn’t, well, boring. I wanted to answer this one though, because 1) I like Marth and haven’t drawn him much and 2) This person has asked this before and I felt bad not getting to it in previous months. I hit on the idea of Marth’s actual articulation of his answer being muffled ’cause he’s biting a sheet, and I think this works here since we can see the answer well enough without being able to understand him. I thought it was a fun way to handle the response, and I hope you all enjoy it. ^_^
So, I feel like this Ask was probably fishing to see Marth paired up with a guy from another series (Asks along these lines usually are). I was having trouble settling on something that I liked, though, but I also felt like drawing Marth, so I made a compromise. Marth’s a character I’m really fond of, despite not having played any of his games, and I’d like to take a few more stabs at him again in the future.
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:
