Have you ever wanted to engage in some escapism? Just take everything you have about yourself and throw it into the giant pool of the disgusting array of alternate universes? Well here’s your chance! In the spirit of henta- ...er, tentacle po- ...no.

In keeping with our parent theme, draw your character in one of the many stereotypical Japanimation genres. This can be a mere outfit change, or a fully-rendered scene. The focus of the piece should be, at least in part, on your main or alternate character, with the inclusion of additional NPCs (slotted or otherwise) authorized.
