Crushvember 16 - Auriia the Lucario

A little unorthodox for this one, but dammit, I freakin’ love @pencil-rebagels‘s Lucario OC.  Check out Auriia’s own ask blog at @pencil-arts!  It’s great.

Auriia is strong, adorable, and I want to hug her... from behind... or with pillow protection... don’t want to get hurt by that spike.

But seriously, it’s all the things I already love in a Lucario, except in an extremely adorable playful and fiesty body.  How can anyone not like Auriia?  

Give the blog a look and ask her some questions, has some absolute amazing art too.

Crushvember 21 - Toriel

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love goat mom?

But seriously, I think a side effect of getting older (and possibly having a child) is it’s made me quite fond of motherly characters, and Toriel is definitely no exception.  She’s warm, caring, friendly, loving, and definitely will kick Asgore’s ass (if you get the good ending that is).  

If there’s any negative that Undertale has, it’s the fact I can’t just decide to live with Toriel forever at the start of the game.  That sounds perfectly lovely to me.

Crushvember 14 - Fidget

I know I can’t be the only person who played Dust and fell in love with this adorable smart mouthed goof of a nimbat.

She’s got by far the best dialog in the game, an adorable yet unique design, and a cute voice at that.

I can’t think of any reason not to like Fidget... outside the fact she is tiny... but honestly, I think that just adds to her adorableness.

Crushvember 27 - Tiffany Lords

Tiffany Lords from Rival Schools/Project Justice is beautiful, WONDY-FUL, EXCITING!!!

Okay, I know stereotypes are offensive, but MAN, I won’t lie to you guys, I FUCKING LOVE stereotypes of white Americans in Japanese media, and Tiffany Lords is a prime example of this.  She’s blonde, busty, speaks poor Japanese, speaks equally poor Engrish (“WONDY-FUL”), she wears America of her clothers, doesn’t take things seriously, and just a complete joy in the games she appears in.  I mean for God’s sake, in Project Justice she doesn’t do a walk around menacing like other fighting game characters, NO, she gleefully skips about the playing field without a God damn care in the world and I frikkin’ love it, and I love her for being like this.

I also like that she has a cartoon-ish power up punch where she spins her arm around repeatedly to gain power before letting it out.  I love it!

Tiffany may be a stereotype and a bad inspiration for women everywhere, but dammit, she is a frikkin’ fun character, and I love her for it.

Now I’m going to go eat 15 hamburgers while playing an American flag flies behind me and a bald eagle lands on my shoulder... AMERICA!

Crushvember 30 - Son Son

I’ve been a fan of the stories of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, for quite sometime.  These are not just interesting and fun stories to read, but they’ve had a mass influence on video games and manga over the years.  Examples would be Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball and Capcom’s Son Son.

However when Capcom decided to revisit there Son Son character for Marvel vs. Capcom 2, they decided to put a spin on the character, and turn Son Son from a he to a she.  Well... technically the Son Son in MvC2 is supposed to be the grand daughter of the original Son Son, thus the gender difference.  Granted no American media explained this, I only found this out by getting a Japanese artbook that referred to her as Son Son III.

Son Son is an adorable take on the original Monkey King character, she childish, naive, cute, hilarious, and hyper active.  She had many moves that literally made me laugh when I first played MvC, like the one where she literally runs up the borders of the screen like a damn cartoon character, or the move where she turns her foe into a peach just so she could devour them (doing so by spitting out a trademark Capcom POW).

She is such a fun character, I’d love to see Capcom bring her back someday.

And with that ends, Crushvember.

I’d really like to do this again some time, as there are many characters I love that I never got around to using in this like Deedlit from Record of Lodoss Wars, Ochaka from My Hero Acadamia, Tifa from Final Fantasy 7, Mirage from Aladdin and many many more.

So maybe some month in the future I’ll do this again with many of the characters I didn’t get to draw this month... but no promises okay.

Crushvember 13 - Peg Pete

Goof Troop was a show that I honestly didn’t care much for... but man, did I find Pete’s wife Peg extremely hot.  She had a feisty personality and a body to match.  PJ’s mom had it going on.

She was a great character, she was the only person who seemed to be able to put Pete in his place, and man... her hips... *ahem*

It’s a real pity she wasn’t in the following Goofy movies, it would’ve been nice to seen what she would’ve looked like on a movie animation budget.

Crushvember 19 - Meowkie

While she first appeared in the Mappy games, I didn’t like Meowkie until she appeared in the Namco mock dating game, Namco High.  Meowkie is so adorable and wants to be a strong authoritative hall monitor, but she’s shy and terribly afraid of getting angry.   The latter being a fear I have as well.

But yeah, I think she is an absolute cutie.  I really should stream Namco High again some day.

Crushvember 29 - Arina Makihara

One of my favorite games on the old Neo Geo is Waku Waku 7, a bizarre anime parody fighting game, and my favorite character in it is Arina Makihara.

The girl is strong willed, fiesty, and fun, but under her tough exterior she simply wants to fall in love, so much so she pretty much pulls a Bulma and searches out the 7 Waku Waku Balls so that she can wish for the perfect lover (yes, the whole game surrounds around a parody of the Dragon Balls).  Needless to say things don’t work out like she would hope.

Regardless I’ve always had a fondness for Arina since I first played this game, and still do.  Thus why she is here.

Oh man, guys... just one more to go.
