Ask A Hero!

This is just a fun, freeform ask blog for OCs of the BnHA universe. Also accepting of BnHA related art requests and other such questions.

I saw this deceptive move on japanese tictoc videos and it was so cute I couldn’t resist

Hey, y’all, long time no post.

I have been dealing with life stuff, unsurprisingly, but I made the smartest purchase of my life by getting this new tablet and now I can pump out stuff like this! It took, I think, 3 hours or so? I’ve been catching up on the recent chapters, and there’s a Pride festival coming up, so I felt this was a fitting practice run, and I’m very happy with the result.

I definitely headcanon Aizawa on the asexual spectrum, possibly pan or demiromantic?

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy! I’ll be trying to upload some more content soon, probably not super regularly, but we’ll see how it goes!

[askahero]

Hey, folks, it's been a while! Just thought I'd update with some quick Pride doodles featuring my personal headcanon in which all of the teachers are casually dating and very supportive and loving towards each other. I'll probably doodle some more because Toshinori, Aizawa, and Yamada are so fun to draw together. Karma is also hangin' out, I didn't forget my child.

Karma + Shinso Hitoshi = Hypno

Not particularly caring for the flashiness of being a Pro Hero, Hypno prefers to do any street work as it comes up and focuses on helping out on campus as the school counselor. They have the ability to read thoughts through physical contact, as well as plant suggestions into the minds of others through the same means. More often, they use this to learn about what might be troubling students, get to the source of problems, and plant the seeds of thought in order to reach a resolution. This has also been used for interrogations, but that is not a line of work Hypno found themselves enjoying too much. Some of the thoughts they’ve experienced from those cases have haunted them, giving them difficulty sleeping at times. Coffee is their life blood.

Karma + Koharu = Aurora

Aurora is a mild-mannered and very pleasant individual with the ability to manipulate their aura and those of others to varying degrees. They are even able to fuse auras together in order to piece themselves back together with the aura of others, or vice versa. This power was alarming in their youth, and they caused a bit of havoc when they were not able to necessarily control it. As a result, they have taken to avoiding taking others auras for their own use, but have often used theirs in efforts to assist other Pro Heroes and grant them more energy. This can be exhausting for them, however, and is usually saved for times of crisis. 

(I am so sorry this took so long!!! @askkoharuandshinsou, I hope these were to your satisfaction!)

Send a ☆ and a characters name and I’ll reply with a vine that best describes them

[askahero]

Alice walks excitedly up to karma “hi there!! I’m super happy to meet you! My names Alice! I’m a first year! What about you? ” she asks excitedly, small bubbles floating around her in her excitement. (@ask-a-quad-of-heroes)

"Oh, hello there!" Karma smiles down at the bubbly student. "I'm Mx. Karma. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. Perhaps you're in one of my classes? I'm the teacher for the international hero studies course."

(This is actually an original character from a one shot in a tabletop game I’m in. Her name is Delphyne “Del” Tramonto. She was a Fear-in-Flesh Dread, meaning she could transform into a monster and fight as such. Honestly one of my very favorite characters I’ve gotten to play. I miss her. <3 )

[askahero]

No one asked for it, but here’s a fusion I made for Karma and Present Mic; Mx. Tape! Their Quirk allows them to replay anything they’ve heard through the speaker in their chest in an attempt to illicit emotional or physical responses from opponents or even to calm people that are in danger! They’re great support for most teams! Unfortunately for them, despite being 29, they look 16 - and their romantic and dramatic attitude doesn’t help to dissuade that perspective. They can have moments of surprising wisdom, but those pass by without them even noticing and they immediately return to their goofball selves in an instant. Fun bonus:

Send "🖍" and I will draw a random OC of mine

[musesgonnamuse]

Send “👏”and I’ll describe what a fusion between our muses would look and act like.

As a bonus: pick out a song for the muses’ fusion dance.

(Not sure if you’re still responding to interactions, but I wanted to give drawing smol aizawa in your style a shot all the same. He’s an angry little bean. Also I can’t submit stuff from AskAHero, so sorry for that potential confusion, lol) ——-

(yaya im doing interactions! also sry for taking all day to get to this sdklfsdhfjkh) @askahero

[askahero]

Guess who finally got their oc blog up??? It’s called ask-a-quad-of-heroes

“And if you need anything, don’t be afraid to ask any of your teachers for assistance!”(Your character is so cute, I can’t wait to see the rest of them! If anyone is interested, check out @ask-a-quad-of-heroes!)

[ask-aizawa-shouta-things]

👏 (Karma from AskAHero! Also, you said you were thinking of making a BnHA OC blog? I highly encourage it!!! Everyone is really sweet and it's been a lot of fun for me personally. uvu I highly recommend. And your style is really cute and comedic, I'd love to see the kind of character designs you have in mind!)

Aizarma, a timid, but intelligent and kind young man.his quirk is ‘Quirk Storage’. he can absorb quirks from others using his right hand, (the one with the Take symbol), and hold them within himself, sapping more of the victims quirk the longer his Take hand keeps contact with them. (the victims quirk will recharge after a while depending on how much of its energy was taken). he can do this with multiple quirks, and take them within himself where they will Amalgamate together. however, the longer they are within him the weaker they will get, until they leave his system completely. sweating tends to make them go away quicker. with the quirks he has stored, he can dispense them with his left hand, (the one with the Projection symbol). this will project everything he has stored within him, he cannot control this. his themesong is & by Tally Hall (and to respond to your comment, thank you!! im still heavily considering making an oc blog, so i might do that in the future!!)

(OH MY GOD I ONLY JUST NOW SAW THIS AND I LOVE IT??? AAAAHHH This is such an interesting take on it, I love the Quirk and the symbols! <3 I'll keep an eye out for that potential blog, then! :D)

Hey, this is a question to the human behind that's amazing ask-blog ! I would like to start a bnha ask-blog (with the girls of class 1-A) but I'm not able to draw digitally, so I wanted to know if the fact that I'm drawing traditionally might be a problem because I've never seen any ask-blog with traditional drawing. Also would you have any advice to give before someone starts an ask-blog ?

{ Awh shucks thank you! I, unfortunately, have run waaaay too many ask blogs so I hope I can help!

For the traditional aspect:

I think you should go for it! I know @ask-lunchrush does their lines traditionally and colors digitally and their stuff looks awesome!!! I’ve never really done a traditional ask blog myself, but if you have access to a good scanner or an app scanner on your phone (I use TinyScanner personally and it works great) then it should be fine! I think the only issue at hand is it would take longer to create things just because you’re having to create them traditionally and upload them digitally and some color/quality may be lost in the process. But if you work with markers and pens you wouldn’t have to worry about that as much as in my experience colored pencils and pencil marks get missed by scanners.

For ask blog tips!:

Make sure you have in mind how you want to run your blog, What quality are you hoping to churn out? Can you do that consistently? What kind of content are you aiming to show? Is it funny or serious? 

Personally, for 13, I aimed for low-quality but highly humor based. All my other blogs try to achieve the high quality and humor based/serious and I normally burned out from them rather quickly ahaha,,,

Set boundaries for your content! I always forget that part as I’m normally quick to bound and make an ask blog. Personally, this doesn’t necessarily relate to this blog as much but I don’t tolerate extreme NSFW asks for 13 unless it’s just for The Jokes ™, for instance. Also whether you’re okay with character interactions/OC’s/RPing/shipping etc. So an about page is pretty crucial. Also don’t let other’s tug you around about what you should be posting or how frequent, it’s 100% your decision on what you want to do!

Honestly I can ramble for eon’s about this sort of thing so if you need any more help hit my DM’s @mikado413 }

[ask-lunchrush]

((Tis true, I do all my lines traditionally!

I heavily agree with the above mentioned advice, but I’d like to add my own two cents regarding the actual art side of things. So here’s that

Your materials don’t have to be fancy! I draw all my stuff with cheap mechanical pencils on walmart sketchbooks, then line them with a ballpoint pen. For the first few asks, I used my phone to scan the pictures and port them over to my laptop, but now I have a printer with a scanner so I can make higher quality images! 

For all the coloring, I use Medibang Paint Pro. It’s a free program similar to firealpaca, and their website has a whole bunch of cool tutorials! It’s a cool program to experiment with!

If you want more examples of people using traditional/digital blends for art, I highly recommend you check out @sarlisart and her speedpaints on her youtube channel!

Some advantages of coloring digitally are:

You can go back and sample your palletes for images instead of having to find the colors each time

(I haven't heard of Medibang Paint Pro before! o: I think I might give that a shot myself! I know this wasn't my ask or anything, but as someone who had to move to traditional art, this was a really helpful read. Thanks, guys! - Mod Karma)

“Sansa Tamakawa, at your service!”

I decided to make an ask blog for Sansa, as there is so little content of them around,, Promos are greatly appreciated!!

"It's really impressive!" "dontencouragehim" "Huh?" And then the teachers got to enjoy* several days of Present Mic singing popular holiday music. *subjective
