So, on the surface this is maybe not the most daring dare, and might seem like it’s just pairing two random strong characters. However, an important part of the lore here lies in a background gag in Project A-ko. We only see Eiko’s parents in passing, but it’s a running joke that her parents are Superman and Wonder Woman, though they never state it outright. Now, obviously her dad isn’t the Superman from My Adventures with Superman she’s paired with here, but I think she might be able to recognize even an alternate-universe version of her dad, glasses or not. It just took her a bit for it to really click, which we see here.
Cheelai won our Superstar Tournament on Discord, which gives her the right to pick any Studio member she hasn’t worked with before for a shoot. I did this one a little different than previous winners, but hopefully y’all won’t mind. Cheelai was looking for a specific experience with her victory shoot, but Toji wasn’t really willing to give it to her until she egged him on a bit.
Really, my initial idea for these two was just this second panel, but I was worried it wouldn’t be clear enough who she’d picked. Adding a panel to the scene allowed me to tell a bit more of a story, though, and it fits with both characters’ Studio presentation so far so I think it worked out.
We did another one of our Discord voting tournaments, where 512 different Studio members were pitted against each other. Like before, our runner-up gets a pin-up while our winner will work with someone they never have before, of their choosing. Yoruichi was our second place winner this time, which feels a bit overdue as she’s been in or around the final four of every tournament we’ve run up to now (if memory serves). Since Yoruichi debuted in a pin-up I tried to do it a bit different for her here, from the other side and with a toy to vary it up.
I don’t usually do Asks like this one, but something about this crossover clicked for me. Gohan has a few tenuous connections to the Gems, but mostly I just kinda vibed with him getting along with these two. It probably didn’t hurt that I got to draw Lapis and Peridot doing something together, which I’m in favor of.
It’s been a minute since I’ve had one of these to share, but a Subscriber of mine commissioned bbmbbf of Palcomix to draw two of my OC’s: Corey Park and his mother, Faith. With permission, I’m sharing it here for anyone who may enjoy it. This is not a pairing I have any real plans to do myself, as Faith isn’t really in the same category as the women he tends to go for, but now y’all can see it here in this non-canon commission.
So this one is a bit different than usual, as no one actually asked O.D. a question. However, when I read it, I immediately thought of them. Maybe that’s just due to my own biases and internalized stereotypes or whatever, but it’s very easy to picture them in charge of something like beautifying the talent. Since they rarely make on-screen appearances I’m sure it gives them something to do, too. Anyway, I’m not sure what this Subscriber had in mind for how this question might be answered, but it gives me the opportunity to flesh out a little behind the scenes lore in the Studio.
About a month ago I shared the first “ClashMe” profile, showcasing a fictional in-Studio app that facilitates hero/villain roleplay hookups. That profile was of the hero variety, but an important role in many hero and villain stories is that of the damsel in distress. Studio members who don’t want to fight for good or evil, but instead be fought over, can make an account in this category, which we see here. Like before I let my Subscribers vote from a random selection of potential characters, with Princess Zelda getting the win. Zelda’s certainly someone who has some experience with this role, and she’s showing it off a bit here in her profile.
