Description Okay, let's get something out of the way... I am terrible with consistency. In most of my previous work, while drawing Ace and Zoey (my take on Chiro's parents) I keep changing the pupils of Zoey's eyes from black--like ours, and like a few of the adults in the show (if you can spit them)-- to white-- like Chiro, the Alchemist, and several other characters in the show-- and back again, but it seems the one thing I have more trouble with then finding the right eye center for a fan-made character is channeling the size of a pregnant woman's womb in a drawing. This drawing is supposed to take place only a couple of weeks before the wedding in my previous drawing "Exchanging Vows", but both of them are roughly only four months into her pregnancy (I think this one shows that phase more accurately then the last one). 

In it, the at the time fiance's figure it's about time they start working on a proper home to shelter their new family... after all, while it was nice of Madam "Granny" Esimia to offer them and their monkeys guest rooms in her home of Darwin Manor, their is no denying that the old mansion in the outskirts of Platinum Coast was too old and run down to be considered a safe place for a baby, even if their baby turns out to be the Chosen One destined to fight evil for the sake of the entire universe! In addition, Ace and Zoey are Shuggazoomians stranded on Earth, and the risk of exposing themselves to the Earthlings as aliens was a bit too high should the youngster develop his powers before being old enough for space travel (Ace only got his lightning powers after hitting puberty, like his Uncle Clayton--A.K.A. "Captain Shuggazoom"-- and several generations of "superheros" in the Carrington family before him, but Zoey-- daughter of the Alchemist-- was an early bloomer with her magical abilities, so there was a 50/50 chance of exposure when it comes to the family's outerworldly auras), so they decided to have a cabin built farther into the woods outside of town then Granny's house. (Oops! Forgot to draw the trees... oh well.)

I do not know how far into the construction they are in this drawing, but they are most likely to have it finished long before their beach-side wedding ceremony, as they intend to have their monkey guardians decorate the place and make it as homey as possible while the two (or rather three) of them are on their honeymoon, allowing the child to be welcomed into a safe and loving shelter... and the process of making it and preparing the wedding has to be properly timed, as Zoey's condition would eventually get to the point where she'd be in a phase where traveling would be too dangerous and heavy lifting would make her feel sick. In fact, in this image, Ace is teasingly scolding her for pushing herself in her efforts to help, while Zoey is giving him a look that almost telepathically tells him: "Don't fuss about me. The baby isn't coming for at least five more months... I'm fine."

As a bit of an in-joke to the fact that Chiro, their son, has been living with monkeys even before he found the Super Robot and reawakened his long dormant Power Primate aura, I used an image of Tarzan's parents (the Disney movie version, fittingly) as reference for this particular couple:

 disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tarzan%…

I also managed to look up the Facebook page of GShepherd17 to look as some of the drawings she discarded from this site, particularly an older version of the image where Wisp (the white prototype monkey) was teaching Zoey that the Power Primate isn't the ONLY animal power aura their is in the cosmos ( www.facebook.com/WarOfTheUndea… ). I just loved that version's take on Zoey's yoga attire, as opposed to her wearing her usual battle uniform with boots in the final version you'd see on this site. The main difference is that, with this being the maternity version of that outfit, I added a bit of orange (the signature color of Captain Shuggazoom and, eventually, Chiro) around her womb, signifying how-- due to her studies with the Veron Mystics while her father, the Alchemist, was working on the Super Robot with his "clients"-- she was practically raised with the belief that she and Ace are ALREADY married just because the two of them slept together and thus created the youth inside of her (I was going to have her hair in a ponytail in addition, but had decided against it as that would make her look like a genie with the outfit I gave her). What Ace was wearing, on the other hand, required a bit more imagination, for most of the images me and GShepherd17 made of him depicted him wearing something with long sleeves (turtleneck sweaters as a teenager, an outfit similar to Han Solo from "Star Wars" as an adult, and pajamas and high-school/college uniforms as both), but I decided to break the mold with this one as they are building their house during July in Oregon... true, Earth is a colder place then Shuggazoom (or at least the area of the planet Shuggazoom City was built on) but it isn't that much colder, and I figured that at this point the couple had made some Earthling friends that helped them get some local attire (honestly, in hindsight, I should've added some silly phrase or image on his t-shirt, but I have no idea what it would read or look like to fit his personality anyhow).
