WELL HELLO CHEF JAMES. It's time to meet the gorgeous men of the To Be A Supernova universe.
I commissioned a 12 piece cast character design set for my Pokémon fanfic To Be A Supernova. We have met all the women, and it's time to start meeting all of the men. This is James' design.
James Yamamoto. Known to everyone at KERA as Chef James. Former Team Rocket member turned world renowned chef, working at a range of fine dining establishments before hired by recommendation from Jessilia to take on the role of KERA's head chef . He is 42 years old, and is one of the many pieces in Serena's psychological game with the wealthy female investors, after all, these women that can't help but fall into a lusty heap as they watch the Chef get to work, and Serena uses that to the fullest. Here's his description from Chapter 1 of To Be A Supernova
-- Marianne lusciously drawled, “And you have a viewing window… my gosh… I could just watch him work all day…”
James looked up from his prep work, observing the two women in front of him. Marianne stood in a trance, frothing over his broad shoulders that were beautifully framed by his custom silk chef's coat. The plum colouring perfectly paired with his long, lilac hair and his otherworldly cerulean green eyes. He was fit, relatively tall, and carried the Kantonian genetics of youth, barely looking a day past 35 despite being in his early 40s. He turned his gaze directly onto Serena, who wasted no time commanding him with the subtlest of smirks.
You know what to do. James gave a subtle nod towards Serena and, as instructed, proceeded to knead Marianne’s hormones like a ball of cookie dough. --
I wanted to create designs that weren't in the exact same style as the anime, but that utilised all the bones of the characters such as their hair colour, eye colour, and using their overall colour schemes in their clothing. I also had one condition for my artist: everyone had to be HOT. I feel this design lives up to that request, and captures James' unique sexual umami!
It's been really fun to work with an artist and collaborate on every stage of the process. We have Alain, Tierno, Clemont, Trevor and Sawyer all on the way, and they are looking... hehehehehehe.
