Here’s the second page of “Closing Time”! Since this project’s so simple, there’s not much to say here. I felt some folks would want a little bit of hair-pulling, with Nanami being paired with someone with a ponytail, but don’t expect it to get much more extreme than this.
I was a bit hesitant about this Ask. However, I was a bit heartened to see someone show interest in Cal after his debut got a bit of a cold reception. I didn’t want to pair him with either of the gals from his debut, though, partly because it feels too soon for that and partly ’cause I needed this to be a yaoi Ask. I thought it’d be fitting to pair him with another boy we didn’t get a good look at in his previous appearance, Lied Shax, who was fully dressed (in drag) and mostly just a face the only other time I drew him. I think he’s a cute and fun character, though, so this Ask serves to highlight both boys I guess.
I wanted to get back to the concept of Anya pairing up with Studio studs, so here she is enjoying the Studio pirate ride, Luffy.
I was thinking over this question, and I thought it might be fitting of Envy was motivated by a bit of jealousy towards all the other characters (and there are many) who’ve been paired with Goku over the years. I don’t think he’d just admit that, of course, but I tried to play into that motivation in his response here. Of course, mostly I just thought they’d result in a cute pic, and I hope some of y’all will agree.
So, I was hesitant to do this Dare for two reasons. One is that I just drew Silas a few days ago for an Ask. Another is that I don’t typically like doing holiday-based Asks or Dares ’cause, while this post is going out to my Subscribers on Halloween, it’ll be February by the time it goes public. Regardless, I did go ahead and decide to do this one, and I hope those of you seeing this post in February can forgive the out-of-season spookiness.
So “Closing Time” is a smallish comic project I’m trying out. The idea is to use a simpler approach to the paneling based on some other short comics I’ve seen around, which I’m hoping will make it possible to do comics that are longer/more substantial than One-Shots, but not take years like my full ongoing comics. To try this out I’m using a somewhat popular crossover crack ship I’ve seen between Tiana and Nanami, which I alluded to a while back in Nanami’s first Character Ask. Using that Ask as a set-up, I thought it’d be fun to see them together here in this format. I’m expecting this comic to run 6-8 pages, though I might end up trimming it shorter if I can. We’ll see.
So, after Bakugou’s last Ask with Bulma, there was a little buzz about him possibly also hooking up with Panchy. I was a little hesitant to do this Ask, since it was just a transparent checking off on a list basically, but I also have to assume Panchy would’ve been just as flirtatious with Bakugou whenever he visits the Briefs home in the Studio as she is with everyone else. Also I just like Panchy a lot, but rarely draw her, so here’s a pretty simple (but hopefully fun) Ask with them.
Here’s the fourth page of Pirate vs. Ninja Strippers, our yaoi ongoing comic. Like the other monthly ongoings, this page was written based off submissions by Subscribers. In this page Luffy tests out Boruto’s throat a bit, and now has to make a decision.
Here is the first One-Shot comic of 2024. The premise of this one is to bring in friends of former NHML winners. Obviously there’ve been a lot of NHML winners, but the Subscriber who submitted this script picked four they liked. Our first panel has Ryō Kurokiba and Alice Nakiri from Food Wars, the only one of these I’ve seen, representing Ikumi Mito from the May 2019 NHML. The second panel has Monaca Towa and Kotoko Utsugi from Danganronpa, representing Toko Fukawa from the June 2022 NHML. The third panel has Ren Amamiya, Makoto Niijima and Haru Okumura from Persona 5, representing Sae Niijima from the November 2018 NHML. The final panel features Balalaika, Roberta and Eda from Black Lagoon, all three women who had caught my eye but I never did anything with, representing Revy from the November 2016 NHML.
Here’s the third page of our Tournament of Lust! Vegeta steps things up against 18, but she hasn’t lost her bravado quite yet. This match should complete in the next page, and hopefully it won’t take me too long to get it out. I do have other comic projects to worry about, though, so we’ll see how things go.
