Welcome!!
This is an illustration/comic project where I design a new character roster for the Punch-Out Wii universe, including flashcards and sprites in the style of the game. Despite being heavily influenced by it, the Boxing Gorls (as I've called them offhandedly and now it stuck) are very versatile and not restricted to any media or universe. That's because they're just chicks who do sports, with all sorts of stories of their own.
I must also clarify that even though my characters are linked to a family-friendly game, my art isn't! My comics feature violence, artistic nudity, and mature themes, so by snooping around you confirm that you're an adult!
TL;DR: BOXING GORLS is a slightly more unhinged PUNCH-OUT AU sprinkled with blood and girliness. Canon dudes applicable.why boxing gorls?
I got into Punch-Out back when I was scrolling through youtube and stumbled upon a gameplay of the Wii version. It was too absurd to not draw something about it, so in september 2021, I made this askblog on tumblr that featured one of the antagonists' sister. I still don't know why I felt so compelled to create a design for a character whose existence was only implied in two voicelines (if I had a nickel for every time that happened... I'd have two. Which isn't a lot but yada, yada, yada, I'm CRAAAZY!!!). So is the way of art.
Later on my love for Punch-Out evolved into an interest for combat sports (if it wasn't for this game, I probably wouldn't have gotten into judo in real life, so I am thankful even if I suck), and a subsequent desire to draw about it. Thus, the sister was aged up, I did this mock-up poster for a hypothetical female division back in 2022, and the BOXING GORLS were born.
Where's Little Mac??
In this iteration, Mac sometimes will be a guy or a gorl depending on what story I wanna tell. I originally was gonna stick with dude Mac somehow fighting in the female division, but I later decided that it'd be fun to have a gorl Mac for that instead. Characters in my works tend to have fluid presentations, such as that one mexican wrestler Aran Ryan depiction I made a while back for laffs.
Side note, read Teppu and Hajime No Ippo. You'll thank me later. =)
