I mainly specialize in women as they’re way easier to draw for me, but here are some examples of men I’ve drawn:

Here are the inspirations for both the original version and the remake, both pieces done by Ken Sugimori:

2025 vs 1999

I drew original when I was 9, and remake when I was 35.

Yikes, the amount of bot replies & AI/stolen work here is atrocious.
I was recommended by @samuraiko.bsky.social & thought I could offer examples of my work if you’re interested, but def know there are artists who better encapsulate that era like @otacat.bsky.social & @harleequeen.bsky.social Ty!!

@kurumilover.bsky.social this is wonderful!πŸ’™Little known fact, but I *was* in the OG cast of #Pokemon! I played Kay, the Raichu Trainer, who enlisted #Pikachu for help with her Raichu as they were having trainer/Pokemon issues due to spontaneous electrical shocks! (I mean, what did Kay expect?!) βš‘πŸ’™

My drawing out of Shonen Jump came a few years later around 2002/2003, but my friends were also not impressed lol (I copied Yu Yu Hakusho instead)

Terrible, awful artwork some 9 year old Filipino kid drew in 4th grade in 1999 of a VERY badly rendered Lass from PokΓ©mon wearing a shirt that says β€œI love Jigglypuff” while standing next to her inquisitive Jigglypuff partner while another Jigglypuff sings to them.

Better rendered art of Lass from PokΓ©mon with her design being closer to the established canon next to her no longer questioning Jigglypuff drawn by a 35 year old man pondering life and the reason to go on.

I’m alive!! Sorry for ghosting again. I need to get those art raffle pieces for here done soon, oof.
In the meantime, here’s a rendition of what Cutie Honey would’ve looked like in the β€˜80s based off the pitch for an Honey OVA in that era.

It’s def a bummer. At least the Studio Mag β€œCuty Haney” doujin shows us what a potential 80s anime adaptation would’ve been like. (Has key frames, storyboards, illustrations, it’s awesome!) some of the material is… questionable (diving into straight up hentai) so maybe that’s where it fell off

This also marks machine number 29 in my collection, yikes.

I’ve started to become extremely impatient waiting on the Dirty Pair bluray box like I haven’t had the Japanese deluxe bd box set for years, but man!!
Anywho, here’s the first illustration I’d ever drawn of the 80’s rendition of the Lovely Angels a few years back.
