Red ‘n Gold

This is a picture I started a long time ago. At the time I really wanted to try doing something with Red and Gold since, of all the protagonists from Pokémon games, they seem to be the best ones to pair up due to them having actually met on Gold’s games. I thought it’d be cute to see them on the losing end of a duel with Team Rocket, so here we are. It’s sort of like the video game version of this picture, now that I think about it. Once I got it started, though, it seemed like there was always something getting in the way of it being completed, but eventually I got around to wrapping it up. Hopefully you guys can enjoy the final product.

Tomorrow I’ll be posting the last of my commissions I had lined up. That means I should be able to focus more on my comic projects now that I can take a short break from them . I’d like to make some more progress on those, since I know people are anxious for the next pages but I’ve barely scratched the surface on completing them.

Chi-Chi x Trunks 1

Let me start off by saying that this is not a new ongoing comic. At this time all that’s been paid for is this single page, and it was paid for at the regular standalone price for an image. I included a number in the title because the commissioner implied that he might pay for a follow-up page at some point, but nothing is set in stone and even if he does I doubt it’ll ever come to much more than that.

This was an interesting image, as the client sent me panels from an existing doujin for reference. The reference images featured much more exaggerated proportions than I typically like to do, but in this case I used them, which is why Chi-Chi has a much more unrealistic body type here than in most of my drawings of her. I know some people like this sort of physique, so hopefully they can enjoy this.

I have one more commission left in my queue, which I’ll hopefully be able to get to work on over the weekend. After that, though, I think I’ll take a break from commissions for a while, as I really need to get to work on the next batch of comics. It seems other things keep getting in the way, haha.

NHML – Buddy Armstrong

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for August 2016 is Nancy ‘Buddy’ Armstrong of the popular RPG Maker series “LISA”. I’ve never played any of these games, but I’ve been hearing more and more about them this month, though part of that just might be me noticing them more because of this picture.

I only did a cursory bit of research for this picture. What I saw of the games seemed vaguely post-apocalyptic, with most of the game looking desert-esque and having lots of grotesque mutants. I decided to go with a simple approach with the picture and have Buddy paired up with some random guy. I tried to keep some of her more recognizable design elements, since her appearance changes throughout the game(s). This one had a unique challenge for me, since I typically base my art style on whatever source material I have, and here I only had a pixely game sprite and some fan art to go off of. Hopefully fans of the game will still be able to recognize her and appreciate this piece.

CCC – Space Warped 05

The fifth page of Space Warped closes out our prologue. Here we finally see the method by which Goten and Trunks will be hopping universes. The next update for this comic will be the first page of Chapter 1, where we see exactly where/when the boys end up. Unlike the prologue, the chapters will contain sex, so all you who were upset over the time skip in TL’s castle need not worry.

Raffle Winner – Haikyū!!

So this month I did a test run on a concept I’m calling my “free commission raffle”. Basically, I took everyone whose payments went through at the start of the month, and used a randomizer to select one who then got a free $50 commission from me. This is what they asked for, a picture of Shōyō Hinata and Tobio Kageyama from the popular volleyball anime Haikyū!! This picture was fun to work on. I’m not terribly familiar with Haikyū!!, but the characters are cute and I can see why this ship is popular among yaoi fans.

Champagne Room

For a few years now I’ve wanted to do something with Sonnie the Sluthog. I even tried to do a comic with him once, going so far as to contact TheCon and Habbodude (who I believe are responsible for this version of Sonic, though I don’t know for sure) and ask them if I could make a comic. Back then I was trying to do comic’s all at once before posting them, instead of the page-by-page system I use today and, like all the comics I tried to do back then, it ended up dying off. It seems my interest in Sonnie comes and goes, and every time I tried to do something with him I would end up losing interest before it could be finished.

So this time when I got the urge to draw Sonnie again, I decided to just do a quick and simple picture instead. I think it’s funny how sharply the colors of this one contrast with yesterday’s post, but I wanted to try something more candy-colored here. I’d like to do more with this version of Sonic, maybe draw some of the other Sonic characters in similar fashion at some point. Let me know if you like this sluttified, bimbo Sonic or if you’d like to see Tails, Shadow, and the rest of the gang get similar treatment.

Sheath of the Stranger

Here’s a commission I recently finished, featuring Nanashi and Kotaro from a film called “Sword of the Stranger”. The basic set-up of the film is a pretty popular one in Japan, with a mysterious badass ronin (Nanashi, or “No Name”) taking on and protecting a cute kid (Kotaro) and his dog (Tobimaru). The idea for this pic was to have Nanashi and Kotaro keep each other warm on a snowy night with body heat.

I saw bits and pieces of this film while doing my research for the pic. It’s pretty violent and dark at points, but I think fans of samurai films will probably really enjoy it. The non-action parts with Nanashi and Kotaro are pretty cute, too. Kotaro’s adorable, I’m not sure this pic does him justice. If you guys like this one, the client’s hinted at a desire to commission more of these two in other settings, so it’s possible they’ll crop up around here again.
