Ask Maxie and Archie

@askarchieandmaxie / askarchieandmaxie.tumblr.com

Archie and Maxie agreed to a temporary truce so that they'd be able to answer your questions! Send an ask to either Maxie or Archie, or you may ask them both a question which they can answer together. (Just make sure you specify who you're sending the ask to!) Feel free to send asks to the older R/S/E pair or the new ORAS pair as well! Updated weekends (??) SUPPORT ME ON PATREON!

Whoops

So that returning for good post? I guess I kinda lied to you all about that. The first thing that happened right after I made that post was pretty much the equivalent of being buried alive, but in work. For the rest of the month of July all the way through this month I had been working relentlessly, and will continue to do so for the rest of the year as I am about to start on a third children’s book, as well as a brand new job illustrating for a small company.

I was hoping Patreon could cover some of the financial slack but it didn’t go off that well, but that’s good, because I couldn’t really find the time to contribute to it, HAHA.

So I guess what I’m saying here is that the future of this blog is undecided. It really pains me to say this but I’m actually not sure when I would be able to update here again. Maybe when the planets align just right, I will make an new post every now and then when I can find a day to take the time to answer some asks. For now though, this blog may remain silent for a while longer.

We interrupt this blog for a special announcement regarding Henzy’s Patreon!

As much as I love this blog and hope to return to regular updates, I depend on freelance work to sustain myself which is great, BUT, these obligations take a lot of time out of my drawing schedule, and I can hardly find time to reply to asks anymore. With Patreon, some of this financial burden is taken off of my shoulders, which could then afford me time to spend way more time to focus on this blog, and interacting with my wonderful followers. Right now I have only been able to post every few months between numerous hiatus. With your help though, I could go right back to doing weekend updates and possibly more!

Joining Patreon is super easy, and by signing up, you can get amazing rewards, like free art and bookmark giveaways, art cards, hi res downloads, access to private streams and behind the scenes sneak peaks of future asks and art projects!

Any pledge would mean a heck of a lot to me, and I hope that you will take the time to consider supporting me!

There is no obligation to sign up and I am attempting to resume regular updates regardless. Please click here for more information!

Thank you so much!

I got a few asks regarding heights, so I doodled this out. Found out Archie was 5'7??? and went from there. Mixing heights from the terrible anime Archie/Maxies, with my own dumb headcanon and you get this tall lanky RSE Maxie and pocket ORAS Maxie for some reason.

(Disclaimer: Aside from Archie, the rest of the heights are purely speculation, I just thought it be fun to use an idea like this, lol)

EDIT: I had several people notify me that Archie's height was translated incorrectly, so I've fixed this to reflect more proper heights, sorta.

Pallet challenge #2:  A smug Archie and pouting Maxie for Grapplemace with set #59 and #10

I think I’m going to stop taking requests for these now. I got way more than I expected, so I’m gonna give myself time to finish up the rest of them, haha!

Apologies in advance, as there may be a lack of updates for a week or two while I handle commission work. So here's an Archie and Maxie I doodled from the pallet challenge to hold you guys over until then :D

Regarding the old and new designs

I thought I should address this before I started updating again. I decided that the older versions of Archie/Maxie and the new ORAS versions will be different characters with their own personalities, and will react to questions much differently from each other. They will also be able to interact with each other due to some dimensional paradox or something, just go with it, haha.

I will alternate between these characters every weekend, but if there was a certain pair you guys wanted to see, be sure to specify when putting together an ask :D

Anonymous asked:

I was wondering to the wonderful person who draws this (I love your art!!) do you like ship them see them as best friends Or both? Since I've always wondered :)

I guess I do both!

I’ve kicked around the idea of shipping them for funsies, and they’ve been my otp since the original r/s/e came out, but when I started this blog I had the idea of making them long-time frenemies instead, the potential for hilarity was too great to pass up, haha.

Back in my old highschool kawaii yaoi phase I would draw shipping art of them a lot, and it was quite embarassing to say the least, when people would peek through my sketchbook and find things like this:
