Herein starts my #NoTruePair thread! Am I going to be able to do all of the prompts? No. Am I going to be able to upload the ones I'd like to do on time? Well, considering that I'd planned to make this thread (checks clock) almost 12 hours ago and could not due to Life + programs lagging due to file size...we'll see!  

Prompts and my lists, as the starting post. Here are the links to that:

Captcha Check

Prompt for today, Sept 1: one in a million featuring Ishtar (Macross) and Bat Lash (DC Comics)

Background and title from this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIyJDNeIbpY

It took doing this challenge to make me look at the lyrics better and realized "oh, she wasn't singing one in a million after all." XD But anyway, always thought of this song when reading Bat Lash, so there's the inspiration for putting Ishtar in the Ol' Wild West for an one in a million event!

I'm so mad I'm posting this now because 1) while I'm still self-conscious of how I draw men 2) I finished the inks pretty fast but because I haven't colored in a long time, it took a while to figure out how to color this but 3) CSP and Photoshop were suddenly lagging so much (despite the layers being minimal by my own standards lol), that even though I finished at around 2-3pm, it's NOW that I'm posting because that's how laggy Photoshop was. I ended up having to put these on the external hard drive, just so it'd go faster.

Yes that was a terrible structured sentence, you might have to deal with it LOL

it also made me realize that because I haven't done this in a while, I'm pretty much taking a long time to do things again...which means that the next prompts are going to be black and white unless suddenly, time exists--and even then, some of these might end up being super crappy ballpoint-inked sketches.

Anyway, luckily the next one I'll be doing is for the fourth, because I can't think of anything for tomorrow + no time, and I did sketch out something for the third but...egh, looks weird. (Also has two men, which again, will be really good or look really bad)

Today's prompt, September 4: it's dark and there's only one flashlight featuring Gamlin (Macross 7) and the Major (Ghost in the Shell).

Kinda feel bad that all the tones and rest of the drawing got "hidden" because of the nature of the mood, but one day I may show the sausage XD I did a custom outfit for Motoko because the ones that could be more relevant were too complicated or didn't have good references online.

This one makes me happy in many ways

Today's prompt, September 5: beat the heat featuring Ayeka (Tenchi Muyo) and Ishtar (Macross II).

What do you think they're talking about in the dire summer heat? 👁️

I took an accidental break from this because 1) I lost track of one day due to offline priorities and 2) I suddenly suffered from the usual "NAAN fixed her sleeping schedule for three days and then her body said no, we're gonna be even sleepier now as punishment."

Got yesterday and the next few days penciled, I only have no energy to finish  But hopefully tomorrow early, I'll be able to take time to work on this and catch up!

Doing catchup! Here's September 7th's, "4&5 are temporary neighbors."

Of course, the fact that both (old) Bat Lash and Hans ended up being "picked" for this meant I could only do the obvious (to me) (please read Guns of the Dragon)

I messed up the rifle and pose, though. Because of course I would lol.

Another catchup, with September Nine's "what's that noise?"

Been a while since I've read Marvel, so my Jubilee is "stuck" when she's a vampire and appeared with the cutest little baby in the neighborhood. This one was hard, but a recent event made me realize where the two could meet. You can't tell me DQ doesn't give gifts to the little good vampire boys and girls. (And/or sons and daughters of vampires, I suppose.)

Catching up near the end of the challenge? More like it's on brand for NAAN!

Here was September Eleven's prompt, "Stargazing."

This one was both hard and interesting--one, because it was a perfect pairing as both Angela and Mitchell are of similar, hmm, theme? (Angela is an android, Mitchell can *speak* to machines of any kind.) Two, because 9/11 is actually part of Mitchell's story LMAO (but I took that day off.)

The hard part was thinking of a situation for them to even meet together--I ended up with some allusions to Angela's role in Ruina and Mitchell (and his bodyguard Bradbury) not really trusting her presence or her. After all, she could be another German spy tactic, wouldn't she?!

(Yes, that actually happened to them lol. I love comics.)

But Angela just stares at the sky, pondering...while Mitchell wonders if her body is speaking to him or if he's gone crazy 🙊

September Twelve's "with the title "subdivisions"

...Yeah, I had no idea for this one either. Only thing I've heard subdivisions in is in a military context, so that's how I drew this one. Hans thinking he's being very helpful with his planning for S.O.N.G--except some don't think so, it seems!  

I added Miku because I had the funny idea of Hans trusting Hibiki so much that he thinks she can take enemies all by herself. (I mean, she can, but you know, there's a limit?!)

I couldn't fit it into this idea--and to be fair, this would only happen after a few months in this scenario--but I came up with short nicknames for some of the girls that Hans would use  He'd call them "valkyries" (which is slight in-joke haha) the way he'd call his men "my fledglings" (yes, you read that right), but Shirabe and Kirika would be "little bunny" and "little witch", for example.

September Thirteen's "get in a ridiculous argument about [choice]."

Finally, Urd and Lia will resolve to (checks papers) to solve the mystery of...something related to chemistry, I guess. I'm tired, so, uh, sorry I couldn't come up with something funnier for the dialogue. (Urd is an alchemist who deals with potions, Lia has created her own holo tech...)

Shoulda done the lettering and bubbles better but CSP and Photoshop were severely lagging at this point, and I have negative patience right now, oops.

September Fifteen's "with the title 'biggest fan'"

"NAAN, how come for this one, you did two pairs from both your lists?"

  

The agenda...has become real...by my HAND!

1. Reuben/Alita: I had a different idea for them, where both were exchanging autographs or something--but that didn't really make sense for either one for different reasons. Then I remembered Alita played music once, Reuben's world is pretty retro with its music, and thus, a better idea was born.

The question is: is Reuben talking to Alita about himself or is he trying to get Alita to talk to Luther Ironheart, android helper of Plex Chicago? Maybe Clippy will know!  

2. Mitchell/Motoko: this is a pairing I've thought about for decades because once again (Matrix's Morpheus voice) ~machines~ The idea for this came immediate and easy to me--after all, you can talk to Motoko through cyberbrains if you have that. Mitchell can talk to machines at any level, in any way. He doesn't need that operation!

"Biggest fan" here then becomes more about what they are *listening* to, rather than about each other in contrast to the other pic.

Probably some Nirvana song that only Mitchell knows or something.

September 17th's "seasons change"!

That one list paired these two was very funny but also very cute: two strangers in a strange land, and I do like friendos of the grumpy/sunshine kind!

As a pumpkin spice hater though, I thought it apt to have the both of them drink it. Ishtar suggested it--and Hans...maybe likes it?! What is this witchery of flavor of the modern age?!

Oh, Feff is also there too.

That's...gonna have to be it for me. I'll try to do one more, because I've realized I've drawn everyone EXCEPT Isamu--which is funny because I did draw something with him and Reuben but it didn't work out in the sketch/pencil phase.

I'll try to do one with him, just for completion's sake. But man, time did not cooperate with me the past few days. Sucks, because some of the remaining prompts were going to be so good to do 

@okilies

You can post whenever once amnesty starts in a couple of days.

@okilies

Like, I fell off after the second day or so, because busy. I figure I'll just catch up once it's catch up-season.

@kalloway Hahaha, that's fair! It's more like other priorities of mine for last week of September/October will prevent me from catching up on all the last ones!  So it's more a matter of "I can't actually even do amnesty, wah!"

Thank you for the reassurance though  (And gosh, thank you for all your tagging work x.x)

@okilies

Ha, I still have lists from like 2013 I'm working on. Someday!

@kalloway oh my god 😂 Well that makes me feel better XD Someday, indeed!
