So the idea for this Ask is mostly focusing on how differently Goku approaches the concept compared to Vegeta. I also took advantage of the situation to pair Goku up with another protag he hadn’t been with yet.
Weavile’s a relatively popular Pokémon to lewd, I think in part due to how their eyes are done. I figured it’d be a good one for the female Pokédex, so here she is.
Also, for anyone interested. here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
We’re revisiting Gohan again for a simple little Ask explaining something about the Studio I think there’s some confusion about. I think this has been explained before, but obviously nobody is going to see everything I’ve put out at this point so I figured I’d let Gohan explain it here. I also needed a bit of a simple Ask for today, so it works out.
For this cover I asked my Subscribers to nominate “science” characters. There were a lot of good nominations, and if we hadn’t already had several DBZ SLM covers then it’d probably be Bulma here. Instead I went with Reagan Ridley from Inside Job, a character whose representation in my work so far is much smaller than my actual interest in her. I’m extremely fond of Reagan and would like to find more excuses to draw her in the future, but for now this magazine spotlight is pretty nice I think.
Unlike Todo, I don’t think Choso is very likely to refer to someone as his brother unless there’s a literal familial connection. Without trying to be funny, I think his brotherly bonds tend to be much more about blood. So, with that being the case, I couldn’t really have him answer this question in the affirmitive.
However, I did have a crossover pairing I wanted to do with him. I’m not sure what exactly made me want to draw Choso with Envy. It might be just because I already had an FMA connection in my head due to Choso’s debut (and, in fact, I’m certain these two met when Envy tried to crash Ed’s debut shoot), or it might be they’re the only two males so far who don’t wear nail polish in canon but do in Studio (to the best of my knowledge). I do also kind of like the image of them painting their nails together. Whatever the case, though, it was a pairing I wanted to do and this Ask seemed like a good chance to do it while also addressing my reading of Choso’s brothers needing to be literal.
While there are a lot of one-off episodic characters with attractive designs in Mike Tyson Mysteries, there’s not much to work with when it comes to pairing Yung Hee up with people outside the mystery team. Cassie is one of those one-off characters, but she’s presented to us as a pretty close friend of Yung Hee’s during her brief appearance. She appears in a season three episode, and the two girls go on spring break together. There’s also a brief scene of them trying on swimsuits together, which Pigeon tries to spy on. We don’t really know anything about Cassie, but since she’s the only friend of Yung Hee’s we meet I thought it’d be fun to pair them up.
Mordecai was kind of a last-minute addition to CJ’s NHML debut, but that does put him in the Studio and I think it’s natural he and CJ (and also Margaret) would talk. Now, CJ’s time in the show is past what I’ve watched of it, so I don’t know a ton about her or how things between her and Mordecai ended. However, I’m sure that they’d be able to at least be amicable in the Studio, and I think hooking up wouldn’t be off the table. Probably both of them can and will find more permanent partners in the Studio, but this Ask is more about having some fun on the side.
I’d been wanting to do something with Yung Hee and Velma for a while, since I feel like her main inspirations are Velma and Jade Chan. This Ask seemed primed for making that connection, and I included Daphne ’cause it would’ve felt weird to leave her out. Even though this is a pretty simple Ask, I like the idea of a mystery solving club. Whether they solve actual Studio mysteries or host, like, murder mystery parties, either way I like little looks into how Studio residents entertain themselves when they’re not on camera. I’m not sure how many potential mystery solvers there could be for a club like that, mostly I can just think of other characters from Hanna-Barbera Scooby clones, but I might revisit the concept if I have a good reason to.
