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.
This here is the last of the original pages I’d sketched back in 2015/16 when I was first planning this comic. This means that, starting from here, I’ll have to put together new pages. I do remember where the comic was going to go and I don’t think it’ll end up that different from the original vision, but it might mean the pages will be a little slower coming out than they have been.
Here’s the fourth page of Beach Treat, our Yuri Ongoing comic on SubscribeStar. Normally I let the Subscribers fully handle ideas for new pages, but I had this image of the first two panels here in my head and wanted to do them. So I counted that as the first panel of the four allotted, and let the Subscribers handle the rest. Hope y’all enjoy the page!
This here’s the One-Shot for June 2024. As always, the script for this comic was submitted by a Subscriber. The theme here is Mark from Invincible hopping to other superhero universes for some fun. There’s an ulterior motive to this script, too, to get in some popular superhero characters I haven’t drawn before, especially in the first and third panels. This script has a few characters that have been popular for other artists to draw, but we’ll see if there’s interest in seeing them show up again after this.
