Clean Break, Page 2

The monthly SubscribeStar comics are usually limited to only four panels, I won’t entertain scripts with more. However, to keep this page flowing naturally, I made the executive decision to add a couple small transition panels to this one.
After blowing both of the boys, it only makes sense for them to return the favor to Mikasa. I had a couple scripts submitted this month having her transition to doing foot stuff to them, which I didn’t think felt as natural as this, but I tried to give everyone a good look at her feet instead as compensation.

December ’22 One-Shot

Here is the One-Shot comic for the last month of 2022, submitted by one of my SubscribeStar supporters. This particular Subscriber has been campaigning to get Fasha in the Studio for a while, and finally managed to get her in with this win. While I liked the Broly movie, I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t see any of Bardock’s crew in it. However, here we get to see the people closest to him from his two main appearances in the franchise, having some fun swinger action. Before Gine was introduced, Fasha was the default character fans would sometimes attribute as Goku and Raditz’s mother, but I’ve noticed since Gine’s debut we’ve seen her shifted more to being shipped with other members of the squad, usually Tora.

NHS Calendar #2 – January (Helen/Gon/Killua)

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.

First Shoot #2 – Shuu Inuzuka

So, funny story, but the second First Shoot poll I ran ended in a three-way tie. I might could’ve run a second tie-breaker poll, but since I liked all three winners I decided to just draw each of them. Funnily enough, all three ended up with their random partners being 1 Club members, as well as straight pairings. So that’s weird, but here we are.
Shuu is the best friend of Izumi-kun in Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie. Some of my Subscribers, even those who haven’t seen the show, have taken to him due to his resemblance to Bakugou. Even though I considered him a dark horse in the poll, this interest propelled him to the top, so here he is with BraveStarr’s Judge, J.B. McBride. I drew J.B. back in 2014 as part of the WWOEC Woman of the Month feature. She was actually a character I’d nominated for that event personally, because I love Filmation cartoons and BraveStarr was an outlier many people didn’t know. J.B.’s the romantic interest of the series, and I’d originally planned to draw more of her, but just never got around to it. She makes an interesting and odd crossover for Shuu, though, and I always like when we get non-sequiter pairings like this.

Tempests

I wanted to draw Rimuru with Veldora for a while, but just never got around to it. I decided to correct that with this quick pin-up, which I thought was cute. Of Rimuru’s associates, Veldora’s the one I’d ship him with first, as the first person he met in the isekai who’s been with him for his whole journey. When Veldora got his human body, I thought he was pretty charming, and I’ll proably draw them fucking eventually.

Cat Noir Character Ask 3

I haven’t done a Cat Noir pic in a while, and I thought people might like seeing him show off the goods. Since I try to avoid showing characters dressed for Asks, I couldn’t show how his ass looks in his tights, but I guess you could watch the show to get an idea of how it looks.

Also, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

Baba Spread

I’ve been toying with the idea of drawing Fortuneteller Baba for a long time. During my rewatch of the original Dragon Ball, I finally got to her saga, which just motivated me to draw her more. After some encouragement from some of my Subscribers, I decided to go ahead and ink/color this sketch I did of her a while back. I thought if I showed her facing away from the camera, more people might be open to the idea of lewding her, though I fully intend to draw her again from other angles in the future.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2022

Last year I finished my ongoing series of Mace and Jackie’s Christmas Carol, so this year I was in search of something to replace it. I went through a few ideas, but none of them felt quite right, until I hit on this. A few years ago I had the idea of an ongoing comic set in a Studio orgy, basically jumping from place to place within the orgy without any real story or anything. I didn’t think the idea had the legs for a regular comic, but I’ve kind of reworked the concept here. So, every year for Christmas, I’d like to do a little montage comic like this one highlighting a few little scenes from that year’s Studio Christmas Party. I think this series could be fun, and I hope y’all will enjoy it. I started this one late because I was having trouble coming up with a concept, so once I had it I just drew the first few ideas I had. Unfortunately, none of them ended up being yaoi, but I’ll try to rectify that next year. In the meantime, please enjoy and Happy Holidays!
