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 forgot to share the finished version!!
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!💙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?!) ⚡💙
Gift art I made for voice actress Jessica Calvello of her character Kay from OG Pokémon. Tried my hardest to emulate the Pokémon anime style for this one, and it was a lot of fun!
Def feel that. Found this one gif for my ‘89 game, and it apparently didn’t animate when I posted it orz

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)
1999 vs 2025
(I can’t wait to fix the mistakes on the sketch and ink/colour it)

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 ‘80s based off the pitch for an Honey OVA in that era.
It’s def a bummer. At least the Studio Mag “Cuty 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
I got it today finally!! My last most sought-after pachinko: “Urusei Yatsura: Dengeki Love Attack”
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.
If you see this, post purple art!
Jessie and Arbok from Pokémon.
Miss you, Team Rocket.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! Here’s a random picture of an AU Elsa I drew literally a decade ago lmao.

Some Dirty Pair love. Long live the Lovely Angels.
Yo, what??? I had no idea there was a game for Project Eden on the Disc System (I assume??) That’s so rad!!
