And so now we officially end the second match of the first round, and we now know what the first match of round two will be. I don’t know how long it will take me to get the next page out to kick off the third match, but I’m hoping it won’t be too terribly long.
As you might expect, we’re winding down on this project. There’s still a couple pages to go, but I hope y’all are still enjoying the ride.
And with this we officially wrap up our second straight ongoing comic through SubscribeStar. I took a few liberties with the script here, but I think we’ve got a nice full circle moment I hope everyone will appreciate. I don’t know yet what the next comic for this slot will be, but I hope it’ll be a good one!
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.
nd here’s the twentieth page of Addicted! Last little bit of recovery time for Ko.
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.
Here’s the sixth page of our Bi Ongoing! Like always, this script takes elements from a few different submitted ideas by my Subscribers. I ended up combining and rearranging some stuff here, but I hope the final result is satisfactory.
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.
Here’s the seventh page of this comic! Where’ back over to the hoop, and we’ll be staying here for a bit.
I’d kinda like to have more gems on the stream eventually, but Peridot was a fun guest I think. I hope y’all enjoy seeing some gren-on-green action, although Peridot is far from the last green stream guest I have planned.
