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.
This is one of the original pairings on my list when I first started the MomSwap series. However, due mostly to the art style of Dexter’s Lab, I kept putting it off. I’ve gotten to where I feel pretty comfortable adapting Dexter’s Mom, but Dee Dee’s in-series anatomy only resembles a human’s in the vaguest possible sense. I think I’ve settled on an approach that works without completely erasing their original designs, although I’m not completely happy with it just yet. However, I do hope people will like seeing them here regardless.
So I had this answer in mind pretty quickly on reading the question. When it came to finding a good villainous partner for him, though, I realized I haven’t done much with superhero-coded villains, and my options were limited. I did come up with a workaround, but I ended up going this route instead ’cause I haven’t used Venom in forever and I thought it’d be a fun pairing.
This is a commission for one of my Lord-Tier Subscribers. It’s positioned like a Mini Commission because this Subscriber has a second pic they want. However, due to some of my own plans, the release of that second pic won’t be for a couple months, probably. For now, here’s some crossover fun with Cheetara and Goku.
I thought it’d be fun to pair Stark up with a warrior from a different world, and Guts seemed like a good choice to me. Not only do the come from similar fantasy worlds (if very different in tone), but it’s a good set-up for the same sword joke I made in the last pic with Guts in it. It’s also the first time I’ve drawn Guts’s face, so there’s that, too.
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.
This is a Master Mini Commission for one of my Master-tier Subscribers, featuring Luffy, Ippo and Issei. I have only a passing familiarity with Hajime no Ippo, but I don’t know anything about High School DxD. I get the impression Issei’s a bit of a horndog, and the name for this pic was suggested by the Subscriber who submitted the idea.
