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. :(
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! :)
Since you made some lovely fanart for me,I’m making you fanart too! Hope you like it! <3
The next time I'm getting fatigued by knee repeaters and jump punches in body step class, I'm going to picture this! It was super fun to draw! Nidorina was really the only character requested, but you can't have body step class with just one attendee. You just can't!! Kirby, Kumatora, and a couple other mons join in the calorie torching fun! So much dorkness here XD Hope you like it!
Nidorina's gotta channel that self expression and free spirit into something. Not everyone has hair or something worth stylizing, though, so Kine just gets a wig and Kirby gets his Wheel Ability hat. Nidoqueen gets a row of scales spiked and colored at the tips, complete with a prop wardrobe Nidorina likely has in a trunk somewhere for photoshoots. Ah, the life of a stylist.
Even if you spend most of your day sitting, it's important to stay hydrated. It helps to keep your memory and motor skills sharp, and it also helps your heart pump blood so much more efficiently. Not to mention, it keeps you from some serious complications during hot weather (or any time of year, really). But please, don't drink the water you find in ponds and lakes.
All of Kine's leading females were either taught or already knew at least Charm and Attract, except Charlotte, who only specializes in making things cease to exist. What's that you say? Little Vulpix too? Oh you better believe it (in her case, it's variations of the same move, but it's the youngsters you gotta look out for. They're the ones that specialize in using cute to game the system). As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and I'm sure none of these upstanding citizens would dare abuse that power. Ok, so would you believe me if I said that only Nidoqueen's the responsible one? But I suppose you would tell me that was a given. The rest are manipulating their way in front of lines at the amusement park, and Charlotte is staring at everyone going around in the ferris wheel.
What do you get when what's essentially a Japanese tween, a little black girl and the product of mad science combine their imaginations with their love of music? No, the answer isn't Jem, wise guy. I'll tell you! It's not J-Pop, it's Strawberry Milk Fantastic, the band that's who's sugar sweet feel good music will spread across the cosmos and flow smoothly into your eardrums like honey! And maybe get stuck there, too.
I've been sitting on this idea for about 3, 4 years tops as of the time I finally illustrated it. Strawberry Milk Fantastic was going to cross universes, being a band between Charlotte and Lisa, but considering that Aqua Bunny had since opened up to include anything related to a series, I'm no longer forced to do Nidos for their own sake. Now it's self contained in one universe, although if SMF is recruiting, I'm sure I can bend the dimensions and include Lisa later on, considering she's twee enough to fit right in.
Probably because I am currently attempting to cover all its songs, I did a crossover with these guys and the game featured here: Cave Story. AKA one of the best indie games ever conceived by a one man team. I highly recommend giving it a look.
Casting:
Rina as the resident doofy-yet-dependable Curly Brace, who I figured would have an affinity to rescue every last unfortunate adorable creature present
Rino as the main lead: "Mr Traveler," who I figured would't pass up the opportunity to be a vid-game protagonist who powers up by collecting what resemble Doritos
Charlotte as resident Team Rocketesque member 1: Misery, who fits as a powerful mage (or mage-like in Lotte's case) and is chained to an extremely powerful arcane artifact. I noticed Lotte also could have also worked as our silent main protagonist; heck, it woulda worked as a sisterly dynamic. :3c
Sentret as resident Team Rocketesque member 2: Balrog, since they have similar childish personalities, and when I saw the ref with Sentret flapping his arms, it sealed the deal for me
and Kine as the game's nefarious antagonist: the Doctor, who I just wanted an excuse to draw the "leering overlooker with Gendo Ikari's glowing glasses"
This is my first time trying to create a large scene with several small pixeled characters. There were a lot of little scenarios with various characters I had in mind so I tried to include as many as i could. Because of that, there are some inconsistencies (Nidorino, Nidoqueen, and BKI working in the same building?) But I included them all in anyway just for the sake of having everyone there.
