Oh, so apparently SwSh came out a few days ago (6 years ago)? Neat!

I wanted to draw the rivals older, too. I subscribe to long Bede, wide Marnie and bespeckled Hop.

Real talk, I just wanted to draw an older Marnie with a half shaved head, then it turned into this.

I used to really like drawing fashion when I was younger. Thought I'd give it a go here. I must say, British Punk is a very fun and wild aesthetic. As it should be.

Figured they'd met up after Marnie and Bede did some training and after Hop was done at a conference. Marnie's all dolled up because she's going to a concert (Piers', likely.). She has 2 tickets? For her and who else I wonder??? Hop's excitedly yapping about the conference and Bede's pretending not to listen.

I think Hop would only really dress like this for special occasions. Gotta look presentable for such big events. Everyone always has cool ideas for older Hop hair. I couldn't think of anything other than Beiber bangs, but I like it, haha. I feel like Marnie would get more confident and embrace the Yell punk look. Plus, the aggressive look helps to intimidate the competition/challengers. I feel like, despite likely being flashy on the field, Bede'd be happy with comfort and stability above all else, so still big soft, fluffy clothes. Nothing too flashy while he's just out and about. I think his hair'd just get curlier.

Close up cuz I'm pretty jazzed with how it turned out. :3

I always think it's neat doing some sketches, too, which I haven't done in a hot minute. So here's some below as well. :3
