BlushMallet - Animated Harem Maggie Mui is Expecting

Continuing the series of "My Animated Harem" from the artist BlustMallet we have Maggie Mui showing off her positive pregnancy test.  When I approached BlushMallet for this next commission, I knew immediately what I wanted Maggie to do.  I wanted her to be fully dressed in her "Paper Clothes", holding the test and holding a copy of the, pretty much the pregnancy bible:  What to Expect when You're Expecting.  Every pregnant woman I've ever met goes to this book so I knew that Maggie would be getting this book for a time like this.  And of course her having that signature blushing look on her face. 

When it came time to color, it felt somehow a lot easier, maybe it's because I've colored so many line arts of Maggie that it seems second nature or because the lines that Blushmallet does are so easy to work with.  And as repetitive as it is, doing art of her against the bookcase is completely in character.  Sames goes for the falling paper in her background.

My thanks to BlushMallet for allowing me to commission them for this.

BlushMallet - Animated Harem Zone-Tan is Expecting

In the continuing series of "My Animated Harem" we have a piece drawn by the marvelous BlushMallet.  This is part of a section of the animated harem series in which each member finds out that they're pregnant.  I know that many of you may not like this that you think pregnancy is disgusting and all that but I think pregnancy is a beautiful thing.  Which is why I want to see each member of this group to go through it and to see how it looks.  In the case of Zone-tan here, I figured with the way that she is, that the best way that she woudl respond is with her usual smarmy, snide and sarcastic way.  She stands there, cocked hip, crossed arm and holding the test as if tho say that she has something to say.

My thanks again so much to BlushMallet for their beautiful work on with Zone-tan and I look forward to more linearts in the future.

BlushMallet - Elsa is Expecting

Here is another in the “Animated Harem” series done for me by the incredible @blushmallet. 

What can I say? I like the idea of a woman expecting a child and pregnancy is beautiful.  For Elsa, I had said to Blushmallet that I wanted her to be blushing and still attempting to remain composed. As for the dress, I so wanted to have a piece done of her in the new dress that will be featured in “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure”.  Coloring her was pretty easy thanks to the wonderful lines that Blushmallet does but the real challenge came with the background.  So I went to the screencaps of the trailer for the Frozen short and I decided upon the warm colors that were in the main hall.  And of course, I couldn’t resist putting in the snowflakes into this because she is trying to remain somewhat composed but she is so happy for this wonderful news. 

My thanks again to BlushMallet for the wonderful work they do.

BlushMallet - Spider-Gwen and Iron Mary Jane

I admit that ever since I started reading the Spider-Gwen comics, I had this idea in my teeth.  The idea of Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson getting together.  Although, it doesn’t quite look like that happened in the comics but hey, a guy can still imagine.  The notion I had was that the police are still trying to catch Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy) and so to try to catch her, a new kind of weapon is made; the Iron Spider, a creation of Stark Industries.  And after a series of events, Tony Stark gives the suit to Mary Jane Watson who is then charged with finding and capturing Spider-Woman.  But things, as they often do in comics, become very complicated when Mary Jane finds out that not only is Gwen the Spider-Woman but her feelings for her have deepened far beyond what she expects. 

So, with that in mind, I contacted @blushmallet and asking for something very classic with this pair.  And who can forget the infamous “Spider kiss” in which one is upside down and the other is standing and they meet in a mid-air kiss.  For this, I decided to have it where the roles are reversed and Mary Jane is the one that’s upside down. 

After that, the classic block of the background came up.  So, I decided to use the background that I used for another Iron Spider pic:  BlushMallet - Iron Mary Jane

After using that, I decided to do something else that is classic in the Spider-man comics; throwing in a Spider-heart.  But I also knew that using the original red with black webbing wouldn’t exactly be appropriate since Peter Parker is nowhere to be seen in this.  So, I used the heart and did a different color scheme with it; first I did the Spider-Gwen colors, white, magenta, black and turquoise.  Then I thought, “why not do one for MJ?”  And so I did one for her as well. 

And what’s more when I was typing all this out I was looking over the heart and then something very profound hit me.  With the heart and with all that’s been going on, I decided to do one more heart style.  I decided to use the LGBTQ+ pride flag and inlay it into the heart.  Because, love is love and one should be allowed to love who they wish. 

I hope all of you enjoy this as much as I did coloring it.  My Thanks to BlushMallet for the marvelous work they did.

BlushMallet - Tracer and Overwatch Pride

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know of the older version of this, my Animated Harem Tracer which was drawn by the incomparable @blushmallet.  The inspiration for these came from an artist that I came across a few days back named “Elapuse” who did this incredible piece of Tracer:  Love by Elapuse at Society6.  I saw it and just fell in love with it instantly.  And wanted to add something like that into the Tracer pic that was done for me in honor of Pride Month.  So, my first attempt was to recreate the jets and the rainbow streams.  Making the streams look like smoke was a little tricky.  I essentially had to go in with my smudge tool and make it look like it’s billowing out from behind the jets. 

But then after I was done with it, I realized that the jets were missing the blue from the LGBTQ+ flag.  And I can understand why, after all, blue against a blue sky…it would disappear pretty easily.  Plus, six colors would make things uneven as far as a flying-V pattern formation.  So, with that in mind, I went with something else.  I went back to the other background I had done for Tracer and found the Overwatch logo.  And I thought, “Hey, there’s an idea.  I’ll overlay the pride flag into the Overwatch logo.”  So, a little creative selection and cutting I made the Pride flag in the shape of the Overwatch logo.

And then, when I was just about done, I remembered looking at her tag on her collar and thought, “Why not throw the rainbow onto that?”  To which I answered, “Why not indeed?”  And went ahead with it. 

It doesn’t matter who you love or how you see yourself.  Find your happiness.

Thanks again, @blushmallet for your marvelous work.

BlushMallet - Steven Universe Fan Character - Aventurine

What we have here is a colored image done by the wonderful and incomparable @blushmallet.  Given how they are very good at drawing Stephen Universe characters, in particular Peridot and Lapis, I decided to have them do a fan character I’ve had for a while; Aventurine. 
If you’ve been following my art blog here, you’ll probably remember that I had something similarly done by Zet13 here:  Aventurine.

For the longest time I’ve always wondered what Aventurine would look like in the Steven Universe style and I saw a lovely opportunity.  In my commission to BlushMallet I mentioned that I wanted a pose that was guarding.  Which does fit her personality that I crafted for her that she’s loyal, reliable and obedient.  And what came back was surprising.  Aventurine’s gaze was intimidating and I liked what was done and I couldn’t wait to color it.  But when it came to the background, I initially wanted to paint a Kindergarten but….it didn’t go as well as I hoped so, I essentially did a small cheat and used the background from the previous Aventurine picture and put it in, with a few extra modifications here and there.

It may seem like cheating but at the same time one could make the argument that doing this also makes a connection and a nod to the previous piece. 

All in all, I think it came out well and I thank @blushmallet for the marvelous work they did. 


Name:  Aventurine
 
Weapon:  Sword (Kampilan)
Personality:  The Protector
 
Merits:  Industrious, loyal, compassionate, caring, patient, reliable and obedient.
 
Gray traits: Flirty and pacifist
 
Flaws: Over-zealous, worry-wart, tactless, self-deprecating, overly-sensitive, and stubborn.
 
History: Aventurine was once an Overseer of Kindergarten.  Her job was to essentially keep watch over the operations of the Kindergartens to make sure they go smoothly in the creation of new gems and to protect it from outside forces.  In her first few dozen assignments, the Kindergartens were on uninhabited worlds but then came the assignment on Terseron: a world that had primitive peoples living on it.  Aventurine knew what Kindergartens did to a planet.  Often she tried to justify what the Gems were doing was for the greater good especially since the Kindergartens she oversaw were on uninhabited worlds.  But when she was ordered to start the Kindergarten on Terseron, she followed her orders and watched the planet die as a result.

After this assignment was completed and the planet was no longer needed, Aventurine was assigned to another world.  All the while the guilt of what she had seen started to eat away at her.  So much so that she decided to do something that she once again tried to justify the ends:  she would destroy the Kindergarten.

When a new one was established on a new world, Aventurine set explosives and destroyed the facility and vanished into space.  Alone and with no home, Aventurine wandered the cosmos until now.

BlushMallet - Iron Mary Jane

In the most recent commissions that I made to @blushmallet, I had decided on something a little different.  This time, I decided upon something that I don’t think has gotten enough attention.  For those of you who are comic book fans, you might remember when Mary Jane Watson was offered a job by Tony Stark (Iron Man) to become the new “Iron Spider”.  A title and suit that was once held by Peter Parker during the Civil War event.  I felt that Mary Jane looked so cool and sexy in it that I wanted more art done of her. 

During the discussion with BlushMallet they mentioned an idea of having the robotic arms of the Iron Spider Suit peeling off the suit itself for her in a very suggestive fashion.  I liked the idea and told them to go ahead with it.  After it was done the coloring became the tricky part at the stage of the actual suit because I needed to make it look both metallic as well as fabric.  Hopefully in the way that I did it, the result was achieved. 

The next part was dealing with the background.  I had so many lovely ideas that I decided to do all of them.  The first being a clean background with the New York skyline.  The second being that background with the Spider-heart in the background as well.  The third looking like a comic book cover and finally one with a word bubble using Mary Jane’s signature phrase. 

My thanks once again to @blushmallet for their marvelous work.

BlushMallet - Virgin Killer Sweater Elsa

I realize that I might be a little late with this meme but I don’t care because really it seemed like no one else was doing this character in this sweater so I took it upon myself to have it done.  So I contacted @blushmallet to have it done.

For those of you who don’t know, for a while now there’s been images circulating the internet of a very peculiar type of sweater.  Shown here:

I don’t know the original name of it, I only know the meme name it has come to be called:  The Virgin Killer sweater.  Horrible name in my opinion.  I’d call it, “The Sexy Back Sweater”.  But that’s just me. 

Anyway, after I made the commission to BlushMallet, they delivered marvelously.  But next came the challenge of coloring her and giving her a background.  As for the color of the sweater itself I figured that I should use the color of Elsa’s original ice dress, the ice blue in other words. 

After that I decided upon a background.  In a way I wanted to harken back to the first in the “animated harem” series in which I colored a background that looked a little like Elsa’s ice castle. 

Though I do admit that I copied the sky and stars from that picture.  Mainly due to time and also to give the picture a certain connecting point. 

And it wouldn’t be Elsa without the addition of snow and snowflakes added to it. 

My thanks once again to @blushmallet for the wonderful work they’ve done.  Thank you so much.

BlushMallet - Animated Harem - Tracer

Now that so much of my animated harem has been finally brought to life, thanks to the wonderful @blushmallet I suddenly had the urge to add some others.  One of them is one that is pretty popular and one that BlushMallet has fun drawing so I figured “why not?”
Just like the others, I had asked BlushMallet to draw Tracer wearing nothing but the collar that’s a theme in the pictures and her jacket.  And just like before, the concept was delivered with such expert artistry. 

But the next challenge was on me to make a good background to go along with it.  Initially, I wanted to make the background look like the character selection from the game, but I had an ENORMOUSLY hard time trying to get it right and there were no tutorials that could help out in this situation. 

So, I played with various ideas.  The first one was a simple black background with the Overwatch symbol.  When I was done I looked at it and thought that it was too dark and drab.  So I decided to go with something a little lighter, to match how bright and cheery Tracer is. 

With the bright and cheery in mind, I decided to make her look like some kind of recruitment poster for Overwatch.  I looked over various stills and wallpapers and noticed the blue sky gradient was common in them all, so I went with that.  When it was done it was bright and cheery, just like Tracer.  Only thing missing is, “I want YOU for Overwatch!”

And I so had to throw in the hearts for good measure. 

Thanks again, @blushmallet for your marvelous work.

BlushMallet - Animated Harem - Samus Aran

This is, what may be, the last in the “Animated Harem” series that I had commissioned of @blushmallet.  This time, I picked another video game character that I had quite a lot of fond memories of growing up with the original Nintendo system.  I remember how shocked and horrified a lot of guys were at the fact that Samus was a woman but it didn’t seem to bother me that much. 

For this one, I had asked @blushmallet to draw Samus in a pose and expression that was both “Strong and sexy”.  And when this came back I was instantly hooked on it.  But, like the others, the big challenge was coming up with a background.  I had two ideas in mind.  The first came to me when I thought back to the original Metroid and how the final part of the game involves defeating the Mother Brain in its giant glass container. 

With that in mind, I had the notion of making the background look like Samus was standing in the defeated Mother Brain’s glass container, victorious that she beat it. 

Of course, the other idea I had in mind for a background comes from a piece of box art for “Metroid 2″ where Samus is kneeling on an alien world, brown sandy rocky terrain around her and a starry sky above her.  I thought of using that but with the encouragement of my girlfriend, she said “go with what you think is the most awesome”.  And so I went with the mother brain glass container. 

So, after coloring Samus, I painted out the metal plate she’d be standing on along with the shattered glass behind her that she shot in with her missiles.  And I had to throw in the “energy rings” that we’ve all had to dodge during our fight with this big bad boss.  And all of that was against a black background.  Seeing the black background I wasn’t all that satisfied with it, so I went with something a little new.  I combined both ideas of the sandy alien world background and the mother brain container.  Thus the reason why you see it like this. 

So, in the end, when it’s finished, I was quite pleased with how it turned out.  I especially like Samus’s expression.  Her face seems to say, “Yes, I’m a woman under this armor.  Yes, I’m sexy.  But I can still kick your ass and feed you your bones.”

My thanks to @blushmallet for the marvelous work that they did on this.  Thank you again.

BlushMallet - Animated Harem - Lilith

Here is the next in a series of pictures that I had commissioned to @blushmallet as part of my “animated harem” set.  This time I brought in someone from the video game “Darkstalkers” (Vampire Savior) and this character I think is overshadowed too much.  Her name is “Lilith” the succubus sister of “Morrigan”.  I know that there may be many who try to justify why Morrigan is more popular but I think we all know why Morrigan gets more attention; because she has large breasts.  So, looking into Morrigan’s shadow, I saw Lilith and I saw how much more adorable, and sexy, she was compared to her sister. 

When it came to the picture itself, I asked @blushmallet to essentially work a pose that seemed to speak to LIlith’s personality.  Namely an air of her saying, “Yeah, I’m sexy.  So, what do you want to do about it?”  And like so many times before, BlushMallet seriously delivered. 
Now it was onto me to give her color and create a background.  And given the setting of Darkstalkers (Vampire Savior) I knew that I had to do some kind of setup that involved a Gothic castle and a pink/blood red moon.  Working the moon was a real pain because I was trying my damnedest to get it right.  Even though I know that a lot of it would be covered up by Lilith herself I knew that a good background helps hold up the main character.  And I also figured that it wasn’t just going to be a moon that will be in this picture, but I wanted to put in a darkened Gothic castle, some stones for Lilith to stand on and a flight of bats. 

The castle was fairly easy.  What I did was essentially did an outline of a castle and blackened it in and gave it some slightly pink highlights to reflect the moonlight.  After that, some reddish clouds (invoking my inner Bob Ross) and then adding some flights of bats and lastly a field of stars. 
And there you have it.  The fifth in my animated harem series, Lilith.

My thanks to @blushmallet for your marvelous work with this.  Couldn’t have done it without you. 
And my thanks to Clock-heart for their advice on painting a moon. 
Also, the bats were done by a set of brushes done by Radroachmeat.  You can find them here:  Bat Brushes by Radroachmeat

BlushMallet - Princess Leia/Carrie Fisher Tribute

In light of recent events this week, I sent a message immediately to @blushmallet asking for an “emergency commission”.  I was on my way to work when I was told of the news of Carrie Fisher’s passing and so I knew that a fitting tribute must be done in her honor.  And what I had in mind was a picture of her as Princess Leia, standing sideways and holding her gun.  At the time I figured that’d be enough but then I thought about what she would say in the face of her death to the people who loved her.  Given Carrie Fisher’s fight for mental health issues, the phrase came to me:  “continue the fight”.  It seemed like something both she and Leia would say.  And I also knew that even though the princess is gone, the cause and hope still remain. 

And so, with all this in BlushMallet’s hands I waited and after it was done, I went straight to work on it.  But in the princess of coloring it I decided to do two versions of it.  The first would be of her as normal but the second had to be a “force ghost” version.  I know a lot of people on the internet have done similar tributes of this and so I knew that I couldn’t leave something like that out either. 

And so, here it is everyone.  The tribute to Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia brought to you by @blushmallet and myself.  My thanks to Blushmallet for the incredible work that was done.  Thank you. 

And thank you Carrie Fisher.  Rest in peach.

Blushmallet - Animated Harem - Maggie Mui

This is the fourth in the “Animated Harem” series that I had @blushmallet draw and I added color.  I have a feeling that many of you won’t know who this one is so I’ll give you a background to her. 
There’s a somewhat obscure anime called “Read or Die” or “R.O.D.” in which it features a woman named Yomiko Readman who has the ability to manipulate paper to her will.  She can make anything with it from a sword to a giant paper airplane and even a whole building.  That was in the original OVA (Original video animation) which then led to a anime series called “Read or Die TV” or “R.O.D. the TV” which features three sisters called “The Paper Sisters” who are a small detective agency.  Among these Paper Sisters is Maggie Mui who I fell for instantly.  She’s very tall, for anime standards, at about 6 foot 1 inches, her favorite writer is Hemmingway, she’s a little bit of a tomboy and she likes small places where she can curl up and read.  In fact there was a small part in the anime where she took a table cloth and covered a table with it so that she could get underneath it to read.  And her sister, Michelle, referred to it as “nesting”. 

So with that in mind, I had to add her to my small “animated harem” series.  So I sent off the idea to @blushmallet and given how easily embarrassed Maggie is, I wanted her in a pose that was sexy and bashful.  Such as she’s showing off but also covering up.  And her coverup choice had to be a book, and the most classic piece of erotic literature I could think of was “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”.  And of course, she had to be wearing a collar with my logo on it just like the others in the series. 
After BlushMallet was done with it I was pleased as punch with the work that was done.  But then came the task of coloring it, which was hard given the new job I’m in that leaves very little time to color.  But when my day off came I went ahead with it.  Coloring Maggie was easy but the tricky task of making up a background.  For this one I decided to give her a background of a bookstore which is the most apt thing for her.  And I had to throw in that she was standing near the “erotica section”.  Getting the angles right on the bookshelf was the REALLY hard part but in all I think it came out well. 

And for an extra piece, I had to throw in the “falling paper” which is something that happens a lot in the series almost as much as rose petals in shoujo manga/anime.  (See Sailor Moon, Ouran Host Club, etc)

All in all I think it came out quite well, don’t you think so, my followers?
My thanks again so much to @blushmallet for their beautiful work on this and I look forward to more linearts in the future.

Blushmallet - Animated Harem - Zone-tan

This is the third in the “Animated Harem” series that I had @blushmallet draw and I added color.  Some of you may know of her from “Zone Archives” and @zone-sama.  Her name is Zone-Tan.  She’s essentially the announcer on “ZTV News” and the sites mascot.  Among the things I liked about her is her no nonsense attitude when it comes to things like sex and low tolerance for stupidity. 
So, given that she’s a favorite of mine and I had seen her so often in the ZTV I wanted Blushmallet to do something a little different for her.  Namely, given how Zone-tan loves tentacles, I wanted Blushmallet to add in tentacles into the picture.  But I did emphasize that I didn’t want the tentacles to be attacking her a la tentacle hentai.  More like they were there awaking her commands, which seems appropriate since Zone-tan has quite a lot of power at her command.  Just watch her when she gets mad.  Even the Hulk would be frightened of her.  On top of that, I wanted there to be the key weapon that was in the Zone-tan character sheet that @zone-sama had provided.
Seen here:   

And when @blushmallet was finished, I was just in awed by what I had seen done for it.  I couldn’t wait to get started on her. 

Coloring Zone-tan and the tentacles was the easy part.  The harder part came in creating the background.  And since we often see Zone-tan at her anchor’s desk for ZTV news, I felt it was appropriate to use that.  So, I went through images and videos to see if I could mimic the background to the best of my ability.  And in all honesty, I think I did pretty well at that.  Or at the very least, I would hope so. 

My thanks again so much to @blushmallet for their beautiful work on with Zone-tan and I look
 forward to more linearts in the future.

Blushmallet - Animated Harem - Aunt Cass Hamada

After how well the Animated Harem Elsa piece turned out, I decided to set my eyes on the rest of the series that I had often dreamed could be brought to life.  So, I emailed @blushmallet and asked if they’d be willing to continue this series, and they said yes.  So far I have 6 women from various media of movies, TV, anime, videos games and so on.  Elsa was the first and now @blushmallet and I give you Aunt Cass Hamada from “Big Hero Six”. 

I admit that I was a little late in watching “Big Hero Six” but after seeing it, I can see why people loved Gogo Tomago and Honey Lemon but I felt that there was so little love going on for Aunt Cass Hamada.  I suppose you could call her a “MILF” but technically she’s not a mother, even though she had to take that role.  So I suppose you could call her an “AILF”.  But the aspects of her that I loved was the fact that she owns her own business, she knows the value of baked goods, and is a very no nonsense person.  And all of those aspects I think are respect worthy. 

As soon as Blushmallet had finished it, I loved it immediately.  So then the next step was on me. 
Some of you, who have been following my blog, know of another Aunt Cass piece I did, I had @callmepo do it.  And here’s the piece:  CallMePo - Cass Hamada.  After coloring Cass and her custard dripping doughnut, the easy part was done.  The hard part was the background.  So, keeping with the same theme that I did with the previous one, I went with coloring Cass in the kitchen.  But since we were seeing the kitchen from a lower vantage point that presented a new challenge.  So I had to look around, A LOOOOOOT, for pinup pieces where the model was kneeling down in a kitchen.  The reason is because I wanted to get the angles of the cabinets and the tiled floor just right.  So using that and sketching it out, I went with coloring the cabinets. 

The moment all that was done I knew that I wasn’t quite finished.  The final part for the realism and to make it non-flat was that there needed some background blurring.  But because the floor beneath Cass was in the same area, I had to keep that in sharp focus, so I selected the cabinets and tiled wall beyond, then blurred it.  Then only selected the tiled wall behind the cabinets and blurred that some more to create the illusion of distance. 

Now that it’s finished, I hope all of you like it as much as the Elsa piece. 

My thanks again so much to @blushmallet for their beautiful work on Aunt Cass and I look forward to more linearts in the future.

BlushMallet - Animated Harem Elsa

A while ago I came across this lovely artist named @blushmallet and I liked their style.  But I wanted to see if I could commission them for something I had in mind.  For those of you who had been following the art in my tumblr, you know that I have been trying to bring a vision of mine to life.  The vision of the “animated harem” in which I have a group of women from various media, anime, video games, etc and do a series of pictures of them.  And it’s my hope that BlushMallet will be the artist whom I can bring this vision to completion.

The first is Elsa of “Frozen”.  Yes, I know I seem obsessed with her, but hey, we all have one character we go for.  So, Elsa was my first one that I went for.  And after the line art was done, I went to coloring it.  Of course, I asked beforehand if Blushmallet was okay with this, with me coloring it and posting it to my own tumblr.  They said that it was perfectly alright.  So, with that blessing, I unleashed myself on this project.  I did things like I usually do but then came the background and I knew that I had a challenge ahead of me.  The challenge was that I wanted to recreate the balcony of Elsa’s ice palace.  A little bit to what I had done before in a previous picture that I had colored.  However, to try and push my own skills I decided to try to make it look like sunset.  Which was a little tricky but I managed it and I kept pushing with little details here and there.  Such as the shadows, the body lighting and so on.  At last, the final touch was the snow.  Just wouldn’t be Elsa without the snow and snowflakes.  So thanks to some brushes I had in photoshop I added those and here it is. 

My thanks to @blushmallet for their work and I hope to commission them in the future.
