We had the exciting opportunity to interview the former voice of Ash Ketchum, Sarah Natochenny, at Kawaii Kon 2023. We asked if she'd be okay with improving some voices based on illustrations I would provide, and she was a great sport about it. 

I wanted to create illustrations based on animals found on Hawaiʻi - unfortunately, most of them are non-native. Sketched in ProCreate and built in Adobe Illustrator.
