Ok, so after some thoughts, I've decided to name the 2 boys Naoki (older) & Hiroshi (younger). I named them after Kōki & Seijūrō's VAs respectively - Naoki Mizutani & Hiroshi Kamiya.

They're initially cautious around Seijūrō after they bump into him by accident.

But after some meetups, they begin to take a shine on the young Akashi heir. Ofc they don't know (or care) about this - for them, Seijūrō is a really good friend of their dad. And anyone who is on good terms with Kōki is in the twins' good graces.

There's so much I want to tell but it's nearly bedtime so I'll stop here - let me know if you want more!!

AkaFuri A/B/O AU where Seijūrō & Kōki had a one-night stand & it ends with Kōki getting pregnant with non-identical twins.

(Despite their brief, short meeting, they left a strong impression on each other - and they both regret not exchanging phone numbers that night)

A few years later, they're reunited when Seijūrō felt a bump & spotted 2 little boys resembling him & the young man he had a one-night stand with a few years ago. Said young man runs after the 2 boys, panting & chiding them for running off until he sees Seijūrō.

Time stops, & for a moment, it feels like Kōki & Seijūrō are the only 2 people in the whole universe until the noises made by the 2 boys bring them back to reality.

The 2 men reacquainted themselves, with Kōki claiming Seijūrō as a friend he hadn't seen in a long time. Seijūrō, being the person he is, plays along (and he quickly figures out the 2 boys are his offspring - but he wants to make sure, so he swiftly & subtly picks up 2 locks of hair from each boys without them noticing).

They catch up on each other's life, and eventually, exchange contact infos.

By the time Seijūrō is home, he makes a phone call to Midorima's lab, requesting a DNA test - and he provides the 2 locks of hair when someone from the lab arrives.

Seijūrō makes frequent meetups with Kōki just so he can get to know him better (and look at his face - and vice versa). After their, like, 4th or 7th or 10th meet-up, Kōki finally gathers the courage to invite Seijūrō to the Furihata residence & blurts out the question: "Want to come to my place the next time we meet?"

(There's a lot I want to tell about this AU, but I'm in a rush right now, so I can't say much.

However, Kōki & Seijūrō's sons are the precise carbon copy of themselves, with their personalities swapped. So basically, the older twin inherits Seijūrō's good looks & sharp gaze, but has Kōki's timid personality. The younger twin inherits Kōki's plain, average looks but has Seijūrō's confident & assertive personality. Also, I keep referring them as "the 2 boys" because I still haven't come up with names for them lol

Also, Kōki's originally 4 people household are now a 6 people household - the 2 boys, their dad Kōki, their uncle Kōki's big bro & their grandparents Kōki & his big bro's parents)

(And because you said you're not a fan of the "oops, we have a baby now" trope, feel free to ignore this if this isn't your cup of tea)

Oooooo interesting, please tell me more! I love these two boys already 💓

(Nah nah man, baby fic is VERY different from kid fic. The difference being- "shit- you're... and that's mine... are you sure? Damn, well, I can't not be involved in the life of my child/let's just. Try to make it work. For the baby" versus "wow... long time since I last saw you, what? 3 years? 5? How have you been... [cue the internal angst of] is that someone else's child, oh my God I've missed out on so much, does this child even know about me? Do they think I didn't want to be a part of their life?, Why didn't [insert character name] tell me?, do they... not want me to be involved at all... can I fit into this family? Would I be welcomed?" One thing to know about me: above all I LOVE ANGST)

Mana was living under a cloud since her turn at the mic, while Miki was being taunted by his table football rival.

All in all, not their best evening out.

[etheretchings]

It took a year and a half since doing the line art, but it’s finally finished!! Aki and Naoki still remain to be a pair of my all time favorite characters tbh.

It recently occurred to me too I was 14 when Jisei was released and I found it. (  ゜ △  ゜) Man does time fly.

I am so mean to Naoki, but man I love Li Mei

[summerandfall]

putting this here cause sometimes my tags disappear on me :")

on another note, these artists are hired specifically to reproduce the "pokemon art style" so i wouldn't really blame it on others for not being able to tell.

seeing concept artwork for pokemon is such a good insight too cause i know naoki saito did some for SM/USUM (i believe it was the female dancer and the sightseers; they didn't have official character stills but their 3d models were 1:1 to the concept art) and his style is so recognizable

Disclaimer: This information is collected through illustrators listed in TCG cards, bulbapedia and observational analysis made by myself, since much of the information regarding official art is not published. So there might be errors. Ken Sugimori is also still working on both pokemon and human characters for the series, so he is likely behind many designs that are simply illustrated by someone else. He should still not be credited for work he did not do.

Decided to expand on my thoughts about people praising Sugimori for having improved his art over the years. While it’s entirely true that he is much better than he used to, the examples shared in posts like that are 90% of the time not drawn by Sugimori at all. So let’s stop spreading misinformation as the differences in art style can be easily pointed out.

Now you know! :)

UPDATE! Some people had trouble telling apart the differences so I drew some examples to make it easier! I elaborate on it more on that post: ->HERE<-

EDIT: Maxie’s redesign is drawn by Sugimori, not Ohmura. I actually knew that when I was collecting the pictures but ended up putting it on the wrong page since Archie was there :’D
