Here’s page seven of the Tournament of Lust! Continuing the battle between Krillin and A-ko, A-ko uses her oral skills to test Krillin’s limits.
Here’s the seventh page of our Straight Ongoing comic, “Clean Break”. There were two scripts submitted for this page, but they went in pretty different directions and I didn’t feel like I could reconcile them. Instead, I just went with the one that felt like a better direction for the comic, although I did make a small change. I’d misread one part of the script, but liked my misread a bit better so I went with it, hopefully no one will mind. I think Armin tapping out and then Mikasa and Eren getting a romantic one-on-one moment makes sense as we near the end of this comic. I expect at most 1-2 pages more based on where we are, but we’ll see how things play out.
Here is the One-Shot comic for August 2024. Like always, the script for this comic was written by one of my Subscribers. This one’s pretty straightforward, I think, with a threesome between Tsunade, Sakura and Ino. While I’m not crazy about a Naruto script winning, I’m not completely against this comic. Ino was my favorite girl in Naruto back when I read it, and she’s also the only one of these three I’d never worked with before. So it’s kinda nice to bring her into the Studio here, and I tried to give some good shots to these ladies since none of them have appeared in ages.
Here’s the second page of Zombie Movie Night! The girls continue their conversation. I know some people have gotten pretty testy with me over having longer build-ups in some comics, but in this one we have the Lollipop Chainsaw movie they’re watching to keep the pages spicy while I establish Ellie and Clem’s dynamic in this universe. Also, we’ve got a little bit of a nod to some Xoverse lore here.
So I know there’s way too many comics on my plate right now, but I had the urge to do this and decided to act on it instead of let it fall off like so many other ideas in the past. Sowande Sakaki is a member of the Student Council, and has a really cute dynamic with Sayaka Kanamori. The Eizouken and Student Council have conflicting interests and butt heads repeatedly, and Sakaki and Kanamori have the most aggressive personalities on both sides. In spite of this, they seem to really get each other, so they usually have these back-and-forths while also being the strongest connection between the two groups. This means they have really good tension, which I’d like to make into sexual tension here for this comic.
So this is an idea I had a while ago, but never did anything with. I couldn’t tell you where it started, but the image of Maki and Yoinks playing some one-on-one just felt kinda right to me. I didn’t have anywhere to use the concept, really, but after doing Closing Time I decided to try and make this work following the approach I did for that comic. This page is a little more complex than any I did for Closing Time, and it won’t be the way the rest of the comic looks, but I wanted to get some stuff out of the way so the rest of the pages can be focused on the action.
Page four! Like with all of the SubscribeStar Ongoings, this comic was written using ideas submitted by Subscribers! Now that Vegeta’s fully on board, we can move on into the meat of the comic.
So this One-Shot is another in a tradition of using some mix of DBZ and H×H boys. We do have Zushi instead of Killua to change the formula up a bit this time, and I hope some of y’all will enjoy it.
And this wraps up our little experiment. I think this approach to comics does work pretty well in allowing me to get pages out relatively quickly without interrupting other projects. However, it is a bit limited in the types of pairings I can do with it, I think. Nonetheless I will probably try other comics like this in the future. I have another in the works right now, which ironically enough involves a different Jujutsu Kaisen character, but for now I hope y’all enjoyed Closing Time as much as Tiana did.
We’re now officially into the second match of the first round! There’s a lot of DBZ representation in this tournament, but Krillin’s going up against the first non-DBZ entrant in A-ko. He’s taking the offense, too, so let’s see how things play out.
