Alternate Universe: She's One of a Kind, Kine ~ Title - Page 10

You caught 'em, Kine. Now you have to live with them. This is the end, folks. This collection includes the rest of the Nidorina stories, and Nidoqueen's stories as well, and as usual, new stories can be found at the end. Let's give it up for Alternate Universe one more time in what may be the best collection to date.

Alternate Universe: She's One of a Kind, Kine ~ Pages 32 - 44

This comic was 1st Uploaded July 1, 2012, and was added to the 3rd version of Aqua Bunny on June 10, 2020. Just marking it because of how I actually got in a comic that fits the season. This story starts off like a Kirby comic, and keeps the tone throughout, so it's not very Pokemon/multiseries-esque.

All pages in this section contain the story "Pool Popularity".

Alternate Universe: She's One of a Kind, Kine ~ Pages 66 - 77

This is another comic you can easily compare to the original.

However, it had to be reworked in a way, because even though the fundamental reasons for drawing are still the same for me (mood dependent, the most interesting and accurate expression succeeding being on model, etc), art evolution and character development changes things that are no longer relevant. For example, Nidorina in 2001 followed in the footsteps of Mrs. Nidorina in being cuter than average, and the old answer was good enough. Today, Nidorina is supposed to reflect a specific personality. It's already stated in universe that Nidorina is attractively cute, so Kirby's old retort wouldn't fly either.

Alternate Universe: She's One of a Kind, Kine ~ Pages 90 - 100

Oy, this story... this one was a long time coming due to general disinterest. Not because of the story itself, but because of the contents within and that I'd have to redraw them. That's right, I'm talking about none other than... a Pokemon Battle. If you recall Royally Screwed(that's the Nidoqueen debut story with the Dream Land Tourney), I stalled a bit between updates for that one, too. Thing is, I hate drawing Pokemon battles. I don't even like Pokemon battles in the games, and they're mildly amusing in the anime, especially knowing I wasn't the unfortunate soul who had to animate them. Pokemon are so much more fun to draw when they're just living life.

Additionally, I'm not keen on drawing Pokemon I don't feel like drawing just for the sake of variety and story, especially when they're large and have too many parts. It was easier the first time around because I could get away with drawing by memory, and only two of us ever really saw the comic so who cared about being way off model? These days? Not so much and there's no excuse with image searches. Ugh. This story alone took years to complete, but the light at the end of the tunnel is that this is the last Pokemon battle in the entire collection, and eventually I powered through it. If it's any consolation, some of the art here is pretty neat.
