bartolomeo x baby 5!
second baby 5 ship in a row! she's one of my favorites so i love giving her partners she can be obsessed with </3 as i said before, nothing wrong with sai x baby 5, i just prefer a different dynamic when it comes to baby 5 ships!
baby 5 and bart aren't as random as some of my other rarepairs, since they were together in dressrosa. it's such a shame we never got the chance to see them interacting :( they could have had a really fun dynamic... imagine baby 5 falling in love at first sight with bart, while he's so weirded out by it at first, but then becomes kind of intrigued. ohhh i'm so not normal about them. i'm sorry
we know baby 5's taste in men is peculiar to say the least, so bartolomeo could be a perfect target for her attention. maybe while they were dealing with doflamingo's birdcage bart shot baby 5 a compliment, not thinking much of it, and she absolutely fell for him. and then baby 5's usual shenanigans ensued. like, her telling him how he's so sweet and respectful and they should get married, while bartolomeo doesn't get any of it and is just so confused because he's not used to this type of attention at all... but then he warms up to her and starts telling her about his love for the strawhats and how he's so excited about finally meeting them in person (in true unfiltered autism fashion), and baby 5 just listens to him so attentively because she finds this side of him very endearing...
i love the idea of them together because they're just two people that are both seen as "weird" by society, even though the only unusual thing about them is that they have developed a way of showing their love that is so unfiltered and passionate in response to their difficult and traumatic past. even though they don't look like it at first glance, they share many similarities. they could have worked really well together in canon, too: the developing of their relationship could have been a breeding ground for many funny gags. oda you really fumbled the bag this time

tashigi x baby 5!
this is definitely one of the rarest ships i have, since me and my boyfriend made them up for a modern au roleplay... they are very dear to me for this very reason <3
i know what you're thinking: i don't have anything against sai and baby 5 as a couple, i think they're very cute! however, i do find them a bit uninteresting when it comes to their dynamic. i think baby 5 deserves a partner that isn't embarrassed to show affection; to actually heal, she needs someone that's just as obsessed with her as she is with them, someone that's very devoted to her, in a "would shout my love for her from the rooftops" kind of way. from what we saw, sai is just too reserved and bashful to reciprocate baby 5's attention to the fullest. also, i can't lie, i just prefer wlw relationships over straight ones. not sorry!
tashigi might seem shy too at first, but she's also willing to go to war for the things she loves. she would be perfectly able to withstand baby 5's intense way of loving. in fact, she would build her entire lifestyle around it. she'd be obsessed with her girlfriend to insane degrees... always thinking about her and buying her gifts and doing whatever is in her power to go visit her as often as she could. she would do anything to see baby 5's smile. and baby 5 would do the same for tashigi because she's so, so in love with her. she would spend hours talking about her strong and beautiful girlfriend. i like to think about them going shopping together, baby 5 just going on and on about how strong tashigi is and how chivalrous it is for her to carry all of baby 5's shopping bags for her, while tashigi just blushes and tells her it's nothing compared to everything baby 5 does for her. just... insane and never before seen levels of mutual devotion.
every time i reread/rewatch punk hazard i find myself getting angry at the fact they could have met there but didn't. i Need to see them together. they would be such a powerful duo in fights too... the swordswoman and her weapon. i need to lie down
Here are all the requests I got the other day! This was super fun! I can totally see myself doing it again some time in the future.
+ The sketches and some exploration / warm-ups underneath
^ I did two exploration sketches for Penguin & Shachi! They're a package deal so of course it was always gonna be both of them. You can also see a random Yonji for warm-up lol. These also gave me the chance to practice a few art stuff I've wanted to work on!
Sanji kicking Luffy might be unironically my favorite gestural drawing I've done so far. Thank you for that one!
I got to explore a more complex pose / interaction between 2 characters with Shachi and Penguin + downward head angles!
Caesar has some funny perspective / foreshortening with the proto-SMILE in his hand (also, I chose to draw young Caesar since I've already drawn his current design plenty of times lol).
And with Baby 5, I wanted to work with curve & line flow! I chose to go for her instead of Usopp since I draw him like, all the time lmao.
It was all fun! Thank you everyone who sent in requests!
