Here is page two of our pirate and ninja comic! Normally I would not recommend barging into the dressing room of performers after a show, but Luffy has the rizz to pull it off, it seems.
Here is the One-Shot comic for May! As always, this script was submitted by one of my SubscribeStar supporters. The premise of this comic was isolated/nerdy characters putting on webcam shows, although I wasn’t really confident about conveying that premise in this format so I didn’t focus on it. Instead I just kind of went with what felt right to me for each pairing, and I hope y’all will like the results. On the first panel is Futaba from Persona 5, second has Tomoko and her brother from WataMote, third is the main couple from Outbreak Company, and finally we have Ryuunosuke and Rita, the unlikely couple from Sakurasou.
Usually I try not to do Asks that are this direct and flat, but I know there’s some folks who would enjoy this pairing, and I’d like to work Kurapika into more pics if possible. So here we are, sorry if the answer’s a little uninteresting, but I thought Luffy fucking Kurapika would be fun to see.
The twelfth First Shoot rookie is Surge the Tenrec, a character from the Sonic comics. I know this character primarily though her support amongst my Subscribers, since I don’t follow Sonic media, but she seems cool and I like her look. Her random partner here is Satsuki from Ghost Stories, a girl I drew for a Halloween pic in 2021. I’m still working on improving my handling of Sonic characters, but I hope Surge looks alright enough here.
Iruma’s exactly the right type of boy I’m looking for for this series, so it was only a matter of time until he showed up here. I’m hoping to eventually getting around to drawing more of his series, but we’ll see. For now I hope you all enjoy a little blue bunny.
Drawing the Totally Spies trio in that previous Ask got me kind of in the mood to do more with those girls. Hopefully that will take the form of some kind of regular standalone art eventually, but for now this Ask was appealing to me for that reason (also I think it’s been a minute since I answered one from this Subscriber). I’d originally planned to pair Clover up with two characters meant to mirror Alex and Sam, but I decided that’d go against the spirit of her answer so I went instead with two basically random characters. May’s been sitting in the 1 Club for years now, and while she’ll probably eventually show up in Hypno’s Harem, she won’t have to wait that long to make her second appearance. I was also never happy with her first pic, so a better one’s been due for a long time. And April’s always a fun character to go to, especially for crossover stuff.
I was planning for the next MomSwap entry to be from Infinity Train, but I stared watching “Tomo-chan is a Girl” and got distracted. I was hesitant about this series, ’cause the premise feels pretty dated, but I liked Tomo’s design a lot and decided to try it based solely on that. I did end up liking the show, and there’s other pairings I’d like to draw from it eventually, but I decided to jump on this mother/daughter pairing ASAP.
Our eleventh First Shoot winner is Lin Beifong from The Legend of Korra. Legend of Korra has a number of hot older women, but Lin’s a real standout I’m happy to have on board. I don’t know if I’ll ever draw her with Toph, but when Mito ended up as her random partner I figured I could at least tease it, since Mito’s primarily done incest content herself in the Studio.
While I’ve resolved to cut back on adding too many new Fusions to the Studio, I do still want to do them occasionally. I had the idea a while ago to run a Fusion poll for Subscribers made up of only First Shoot rookies, so once we hit ten I decided we could celebrate that way. So, of the first ten FS rookies, Yor and Power ended up winning the poll. I can’t say this result is terribly surprising, and I decided to go with the funniest name option I had on my list. I hope you all like Powyor, and maybe we’ll see her again down the road.
I was a little unsure about this Ask at first, since it was so straightforward I was worried it might be a little boring. However, I really like Bunny Bravo and wanted to draw more of her, and Corey’s a natural partner for her… Once I thought of the idea of Corey making a trade with Johnny, though, I figured that was enough of a twist to help make things interesting. Maybe we’ll get to see Johnny and Dumpsey eventually, too, who knows, but for now I hope y’all enjoy this one.
