All Fan Art in Alternate Universe

Yes, another.

I remember when I found Creative Worlds as a kid, and was immediately delighted. "Hey, this guy likes Pokémon and Kirby! Cool!" Now, years later, I still love coming back, both to CW and Aqua Bunny. Honestly, they're pretty big inspirations for the kind of art that I do. As such, I figured it was about time I drew something again. I hope you enjoy! :)

This is probably OOC, I dunno. I finally made sense of that silly pendant which half the time I can't remember the name of. D: Also, I've been drawing Lots with her ears down more often, makeshift pigtails and whatnots. Or like, whatever. I'm tired. :(

And then something very strange and funny happened when i was playing my Pokémon Diamond Nuzlocke. Something that remembered me this awesome website. Something connected to my favourite character overall: Charlotte. I looked up at my very firsts works that i posted here and i was like "Oh god why I did those" and realizing again that i can't use only paint and a tablet to make decent art. Then i started laughing and my 3DS music player was playing Ghetsis's theme. So i started drawing this. It's nothing special but i hope you like it. Almost it's a signal that i am not dead :3

I dunno what it is about girls wearing headphones, especially manga girls, but it's always cool. Nidorina is cool, I'm just adding two and two together. Well, maybe she isn't "cool" anymore so much as just fun to hang out with, but she still loves her music all the same (I think she's slowly turning into a (and I use this with extreme looseness) "hipster". I DID say I was basing her on people I know). So yeah, it's basically lol headphones girl but with Nidorina. But the truth is that she still likes headphones that let her feel the music, not those pitiful earbuds, and unlike those mock iPod illustrations in the aughts, expensive headphone illustrations will never go out of style as long as there's any song worth listening to. Anyway, a reimagining of Radio Nidorina 2010, but way better. I think this needs to be a theme. I demand more Nidorina with headphones. >:|

charlotte's always been my favorite baby (:

i dunno lol

I like drawing females, and I'm also non-partial to species. Humans, animals, shoot I'll draw a set of toasters with faces. If it's cute, I don't care what the subject is. It occurred to me one day when I was working on my sketches outside of Aqua Bunny that I don't have a lot of male characters, or sketches of generic guys for that matter.

One reason being that a lot of art blogs that I view now and then tend to be by women illustrators, and make up a high percentage of my inspiration. There's just something about the way they color and draw, like I swear it's something women have that men don't, and it's always visually appealing. Life studies, pin-ups, unicorn doodles, whatever, it all just works. It speaks to my tastes of careful coloring and a cute appeal (even if they don't want to admit it). And it goes without saying that these girls are typically drawing girls themselves. But to be fair, there's a plethora of great male artists, specifically those who can create similar works.

There couldn't be a more perfect character match than Tita Nium and Charlotte. So why not just fuse them (and I suck at gijinka, so getting more Tita than Lottie's not an option)? I've been following Otomedius from the sidelines ('cause some of us don't have Japanese XBox360s), but Tita's character evolution from Gorgeous to Excellent is spot on. She went from emotionless girl to the weird space case girl who gives awkward smiles over the span of one game (she still delivers lines with halfhearted apathy, though). I mean, come on, LOOK AT THAT POSTURE (it's even slouchier in the character select). The hair's bloomin' similar too, even the pig tails look like how I draw flopped Nidorina ears.

Now, I'm not much for, pardon me, "boob shooters", but Otomedius is an offshoot of Parodius, which in turn is an offshoot of Gradius, which I happens to be a series I keep tabs on. Unfortunately (IMO), Otome is 5 times the fan service and like, a third of the funny Parodius is, but hot dog I was sold when they referenced the heck out of Xexex. I mean, my God. It's, like, only one of my favorite games.
