April ’25 One-Shot

It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.

Capsule Corp. Bliss, Cover and Page One

When I first moved from Patreon and SubscribeStar, one goal I set up was to start a sequel to one of my completed comics when I got back to the same income I had on Patreon. It took longer than I would’ve liked, mostly staying just shy of it for what felt like forever, but we’re finally there (more or less). So, I ran a poll with descriptions of potential sequels for all of my completed comics, and the winning one was this, a sequel to Fire Mountain Bliss. Fire Mountain Bliss was an early commission that ended up sitting incomplete in my work folder for years, but I eventually finished it and released it just so all that work wouldn’t go to waste. That comic followed a quick affair between End of Z Trunks and Buu Saga Chi-Chi (as the commissioner wanted), so we’re mirroring that here in the Sequel with End of Z Goten and Buu Saga Bulma. I’m not going to try as hard to imitate the Pandora’s Box style here (that was also a specification of the original commission), but I am trying to keep it feeling like mostly the same aesthetic of the original comic. These two comics are set in a different continuity to my other Dragon Ball work, not just due to the mix-and-match designs, but also because I don’t think these versions of Goten and Trunks have a history of sleeping with their moms like in Chi-Chi the Sitter, etc.

March ’25 One-Shot

This is the March 2025 One-Shot, as always written by one of my Subscribers. This is another script where each panel is kinda its own scene, I assume featuring characters this Subscriber wanted to see join the Studio. The first couple panels feature some characters I know some folks have been wanting to see, namely Hiei, Kurama, and the MAwS version of Jimmy Olsen. The latter two panels feature less-known characters, I think, Isami Ao and Lewis Smith from Brave Bang Bravern and Tamada, Dai and Yukinori from Blue Giant.
