I don’t normally make any effort to tie this calendar project to the months/holidays associated with it, but since I managed to get this page done before New Year’s I decided to rearrange the public release schedule so it can be my official New Year’s post. Since I normally post the One-Shot on the first this’ll also mean pushing that back a day, but that’s okay.
This is my new Calendar project. Like the first one, I’ve taken the top performers in the Studio (that is, the characters with the most frequently-used tags on the public site) and used a randomizer to create twelve random pairings. The lineup has changed slightly since the first Calendar, but there will be a lot of recurring faces. Our first page here sees Gon and Killua, who shared a slot in the pairing process, getting together with Helen Parr of The Incredibles. Gon and Killua got to work with Chi-Chi in the last Calendar, and Helen’s early Studio work had her getting double teamed by Trunks and Goten a lot, so this feels like a somewhat poetic match-up to me. I put them in the same location as some older New Year’s content I did on commission years ago, complete with a little letter banner in the background.
So, New Year’s may be past (especially by the time this post will go public), but a subscriber commissioned this little pic to commemorate the start of 2021. They wanted to see three couples from the Teen Titans having fun, so we got Raven with Cyborg, Starfire with Robin, and Terra with Beast Boy. It’s been a very long time since I’ve done anything with Terra, but she seems to be enjoying herself alongside the other girls.
Here’s a commission! This one was from the same Epic Tier supporter who commissioned last year’s “Oni New Year” pic. By the time this goes public it’ll be February, but that’s okay, right? The client wanted two cute oni characters being fucked by the two massive ogre guards Goku encounters in early DBZ (and we used the censored “HFIL” shirts instead of their proper “HELL” shirts for fun). The girl is Lum from Urusei Yatsura, whole the boy is the Saike Demon from Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn.
Here’s the One-Shot I did for December, selected from nominations sent in by my supporters. Of course the holidays referenced in this comic have now passed, but it was more timely for my supporters. ^_^; This one presented a couple of unique challenges. First, was that I have very little experience working with the Fairly OddParents style (I’ve drawn it before, but it’s been ages). I did my best to find a compromise between my more realistic approach I usually use and the uber-stylized designs of the original characters. Also, the last panel was left completely open to me (except the dialogue). I decided that, since the pic was presented as a message from the Studio versions of characters, I should use Siat Wildstar, who’s sort of the mascot of the Studio. Since her panel is all about looking forward to the new year, too, I decided to work in a “look forward” theme, with her training three new characters (or, in Kefla’s case, a combination of two characters already in the Studio). Darkness is the last of the main KonoSuba girls for me to bring in, and Nessa’s a popular new character I’ve gotten a few requests for. Seras in the first panel is also new, though she’s been nominated for NHML maybe a dozen times. It’s also fun to bring in Mrs. Claus from the comic I did with CCat for Christmas 2018, paired again with her favorite boys, Mace and Jackie.
This is an Epic Tier commission, featuring three characters from Fate/Grand Order. Like this client’s commission last January, it’s themed towards the New Year’s holiday, with the sake and the counting down. Doing three full-body characters in one pic was a bit of a challenge and took a while to work through (especially with some of the designs elements), but I worked on it a little at a time and was eventually able to push through to the end. ^_^ The characters (from left-to-right) are Shuten Dōji, Ritsuka Fujimaru, and Ibaraki Dōji. Ritsuka’s the player character (in this case, the female version, the male version appeared in a POV Christmas commission from this same person in December), and the idea here is that, as a human, she’s not able to take the sensations as calmly as the two oni. The big red guys are also meant to be oni, in case that wasn’t clear, though not any specific ones.
This is a commission purchased off my Epic Level tier (with a little extra to compensate for the characters and variants). The premise here is that three of DC’s top villainesses (Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Enchantress) are sort of “mentoring” three of Gotham Academy’s leads (Maps, Olive, and Pomeline) and celebrating New Year’s with them in an unconventional manner. Due to the nature of this commission, I wasn’t able to even start it until after the holiday itself had passed in the real world. Still, it’s not entirely untimely, and honestly I don’t suspect that’ll much get in the way of anyone enjoying these pics.
