So while the Goku edit from a couple days ago was like an extra add-on to a Lord Tier commission, this here is half of the actual commission. The idea here is pretty straightforward, I think, with the comments and guesses being left up to me. The other half of this commission will also be a stream, though one not directly tied to this one, and will come out a bit later on.
There’s a number of redheads I could theoretically pair Johnny up with, but thanks to some communication with the Subscriber behind this Ask I had a good idea of the types of characters they were hoping for. Of those characters, I thought Dexter’s Mom would be a cute pairing. Johnny’s familiar with fat-bottomed moms, and while he’s not exactly like Johnny, I figured her husband was enough of a himbo type that she’d probably find him charming in a similar way.
This is the second time we’ve had a Fire Force vs. Black Clover One-Shot, so I used the same location from last time for this comic. There’s a lot of new characters being introduced in this one, some of whom I don’t really know, but hopefully I captured everyone well and fans of both shows can enjoy this one.
Here’s the fifth page of Leave It All On the Court! Now that Maki’s all warmed up, they can move back to fucking. This first panel is one of the catalysts for the concept behind this comic, and I’m happy to finally get it out.
I drew this version of Aladdin once on commission a long time ago. Besides contributing to one of our NHS Fusions, though, I haven’t done anything with him since. I never really got into Magi, but I remember Aladdin being a fun protagonist and I like his design well enough. Of the candidates for a partner for this Ask, I thought Luffy paired relatively well with him.
Also, for those interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
As has become tradition, here is a compilation of some moments from this year’s Studio Christmas party. Hiro Hamada won the lottery to get chosen as the official Studio Santa this year, but as you can see he’s not the only one sporting the look. I had a lot of fun putting together this year’s party, and I tried to fit in an eclectic selection of characters. I hope there’s a little something for most everyone here, and I’d like to wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.
This year’s Studio Santa is the first male winner we’ve had for these holiday character raffles. We don’t see Hiro super often, but I feel like he’s well-received whenever he does appear so I hope people will enjoy seeing him this holiday season.
Yoruichi’s a character who’s struggled to get in appearances since debuting in that pin-up a while back, but I figured I could use this Ask to not only bring her back into the spotlight, but also set up a little Studio lore for how she’s been spending her time. I’ve mentioned the Studio’s cat cafe, Catflix & Chill, before in a previous Ask (one featuring Yoruichi’s costars here, Power and Anzu). While the cats who appear there are mostly regular cats, I thought the idea of Yoruichi going there in cat form to get pampered and relax sounded like a cute idea that could tie this Ask together.
Yuji’s appeared a few times with Eren in different pics at this point, so I figured if there was any good candidate to be someone outside of his initial friend group he’d open up to, it’d be him. I don’t have much of an idea about how their dynamic would play, though, so I focused this Ask instead on Eren.
I talked about the Superstar polls we did on Discord when I posted Inosuke’s recent pin-up, and this is the follow-up. The prize for the winner was to get a pic where they partnered with another Studio member of their choosing, so long as they hadn’t worked together on camera before. Mei won out in the end, beating out over five hundred other characters. I expected her to go far in the tournament, but I was kinda surprised to see her win the whole thing. Regardless, for her prize, she picked the relative newcomer Edward Elric as her partner.
