So this One-Shot was based on a handful of different threesome pairings. I tried to go with a different dynamic for each one that I felt suited the characters. In the first panel, Pan gets its from both ends from her grandpa and great-uncle. In the second panel we have a reunion of the Elric brothers with Winry. I used their end-of-series designs here, rather than the default Studio looks for them. Then we have an unusual Super/GT crossover, Dr. Arinsu making her Studio debut alongside her brother Degesu and Majuub, who’s a different version of Uub I haven’t drawn before. The threesomes were all listed as two-against-one, with this one having the siblings against Majuub. I tried a couple different poses of them both bottoming to him, but ended up with something a bit vaguer I think. I hope that’ll be alright. Lastly we have Yuta making his Studio debut with the Zenin twins. I focused on him and Maki here, since there’s a stronger connection between them, but Mai’s not completely left out. I thought it’d be cute to see the sisters bonding a bit here, too.
Last year we started a new Halloween tradition of a highlight comic set in the Studio Halloween party. Like last year, our randomly-selected costume model, Space Beth, takes the center panel while we check in around the party with the rest. I know some characters who appear here may be hard to place, especially in the glory hole panel, and I imagine some will only be identifiable through the tags in the public post. I’m pretty happy with how this comic turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing some of the Studio residents enjoying the spooky season.
So here is page three of Capsule Corp. Bliss, where we finally get to some action. I think this is where I’m going to leave this comic for now, as I move on with my rotation. I think this comic has a good start now, but it was intended as a celebration for hitting a SubscribeStar milestone and I’m currently still dancing back and forth across the threshold of that milestone instead of firmly past it. I’m hopeful that when we come back to this comic on down the line we’ll be more securely into the era this comic was intended to mark the start of.
Kody and Chase move back to the mattress.
I shared the cover a little while ago, but now here we have the first proper page for this comic. I’m really enjoying working on this one, and I hope y’all will enjoy reading it, too.
Here’s the finale for Pirate vs. Ninja Strippers! There were a few things I normally wouldn’t allow that ended up here, but I decided to be lenient since it’s the final page, plus there was only one script to work with. For our little cameo at the end there was no mention of them sporting anything other than their usual looks, but since Naruto and Boruto had unique strip club designs for this comic I thought it’d be fun for Killua to dust off his Drag Race look. I hope you all enjoyed this comic, and in a few months we’ll be ready to kick off a new (as of yet undecided) yaoi Ongoing.
The winning One-Shot script for September is one themed around getting more content of Corinne Crane. For those who don’t remember her, Corinne is an Applebridge character I introduced via pin-up back in 2020. She was basically just a design I wanted to try out, but I didn’t really have much for her beyond that. As a result, that pin-up is all that’s existed of her up until now. For this comeback comic she’s got a somewhat random assortment of partners, but I guess that’s somewhat fitting given her directionless history. I do think for most of them individually you can pick out one reason or another for the pairing, though.
Here’s the final page for this little comic! I really enjoyed this one, and I hope y’all did as well. I feel like I haven’t gotten Kanamori out of my system, though, so I’m sure we’ll see more of her in other projects going forward. I know a few of you became fans of Sowande during this comic, too, so maybe we’ll see more of her in Asks or something down the line. I had originally only planned for this comic’s spot in my work schedule to be temporary, and to open up when it finished, but due to a few factors it’ll instead be replaced by Seiko’s Special Training, the first real page of which will be coming out before too long, I expect.
My Subscribers all got to vote on what our next straight ongoing comic should look like, and they wanted to see Deku come back for some fun with Ochaco and Tsuyu. These are pretty popular characters, so it wasn’t a shock to see them win. The scripts submitted this month all took their own approaches to the premise, Ochaco surprising Deku with Tsuyu, but I took my own little spin with it while using what I thought fit from the submissions.
