Mikasa’s going to be having a lot of threesome action soon in Clean Break, so I thought she should get in a little practice. As fellow recent debuts, I thought Itadori and Inosuke would make for good practice partners for her.
I mentioned before I planned to eventually draw Shuu with Bakugou, and this Ask seemed like as good an excuse as any. Like he says here, if I were to draw him with his friend from his own anime, he’d probably be the top, but with Bakugou I see it going the other way. Just a simple one here, but I hope y’all like it.
I don’t normally make any effort to tie this calendar project to the months/holidays associated with it, but since I managed to get this page done before New Year’s I decided to rearrange the public release schedule so it can be my official New Year’s post. Since I normally post the One-Shot on the first this’ll also mean pushing that back a day, but that’s okay.
This is my new Calendar project. Like the first one, I’ve taken the top performers in the Studio (that is, the characters with the most frequently-used tags on the public site) and used a randomizer to create twelve random pairings. The lineup has changed slightly since the first Calendar, but there will be a lot of recurring faces. Our first page here sees Gon and Killua, who shared a slot in the pairing process, getting together with Helen Parr of The Incredibles. Gon and Killua got to work with Chi-Chi in the last Calendar, and Helen’s early Studio work had her getting double teamed by Trunks and Goten a lot, so this feels like a somewhat poetic match-up to me. I put them in the same location as some older New Year’s content I did on commission years ago, complete with a little letter banner in the background.
So, funny story, but the second First Shoot poll I ran ended in a three-way tie. I might could’ve run a second tie-breaker poll, but since I liked all three winners I decided to just draw each of them. Funnily enough, all three ended up with their random partners being 1 Club members, as well as straight pairings. So that’s weird, but here we are.
Shuu is the best friend of Izumi-kun in Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie. Some of my Subscribers, even those who haven’t seen the show, have taken to him due to his resemblance to Bakugou. Even though I considered him a dark horse in the poll, this interest propelled him to the top, so here he is with BraveStarr’s Judge, J.B. McBride. I drew J.B. back in 2014 as part of the WWOEC Woman of the Month feature. She was actually a character I’d nominated for that event personally, because I love Filmation cartoons and BraveStarr was an outlier many people didn’t know. J.B.’s the romantic interest of the series, and I’d originally planned to draw more of her, but just never got around to it. She makes an interesting and odd crossover for Shuu, though, and I always like when we get non-sequiter pairings like this.
Of course it was inevitable that I’d draw Corey with Baba eventually, and I didn’t see any reason to draw it out. I don’t think I have too much to add here, other than that I enjoyed drawing more of Baba here. Hopefully I’ll find other excuses to lewd her down the line.
Last year I finished my ongoing series of Mace and Jackie’s Christmas Carol, so this year I was in search of something to replace it. I went through a few ideas, but none of them felt quite right, until I hit on this. A few years ago I had the idea of an ongoing comic set in a Studio orgy, basically jumping from place to place within the orgy without any real story or anything. I didn’t think the idea had the legs for a regular comic, but I’ve kind of reworked the concept here. So, every year for Christmas, I’d like to do a little montage comic like this one highlighting a few little scenes from that year’s Studio Christmas Party. I think this series could be fun, and I hope y’all will enjoy it. I started this one late because I was having trouble coming up with a concept, so once I had it I just drew the first few ideas I had. Unfortunately, none of them ended up being yaoi, but I’ll try to rectify that next year. In the meantime, please enjoy and Happy Holidays!
Last year I started a new annual tradition for Christmas, of using a randomizer to pick one character from the full Studio roster who’ll do a sexy Santa pin-up. Last year’s Santa was Jody Crowley, who’d just debuted not long before that, but this time it’s someone I drew over a decade ago in 2011, Rose Thomas. Her only other appearance so far was also for a series driven by random selection, the Crossover Yuri series where random girls from a list of characters got paired up. I think she fits the Santa look surprisingly well, and since I never liked how her original pic turned out it’s nice to take another (more successful) stab at her now.
So I’ve been thinking it over, and I think I’d like to take a bit of a break from the Fusions series for a while. I still have Fusion Bios to make, and we’ll see some of the ones who exist around in Asks and such, but I ready for a break from creating new ones. I still enjoy making the Fusions, but I feel like the roster’s getting crowded, and people are maybe starting to lose interest as they feel less and less special. I’m sure I’ll do more eventually, but for now Narjiro here is our last one. I tried to mix up the way both Kirishima and Naruto’s hair spikes, and I figured an orange-ish hair would be a nice middle-ground between their respective colors. He’s a bit slimmer than Kirishima, but I think he’s still got a lot going for him, and I hope y’all will like him.
So, I’ve been wanting to draw Corey Park with Sylvia from Wander Over Yonder for a bit. I still plan to, but I figured addressing which aliens he’s mostly interested in would be pertinent in his answer here. That being said, I don’t think he’d pass up a chance at Frieza, and while Frieza usually goes for a slightly different type I still kinda like this pairing and wanted to see it done here.
So, this is a new series idea I’m trying out called “First Shoot”. The premise here is that I run a poll for my higher-end Subscribers (except for this first one, which was open to all subs) with a list of characters who are not in the Studio yet, but would make good fits. The winner of the poll then gets to appear in a two-panel introductory comic, like you see here, with the second panel featuring them performing with a random existing member of the Studio. The partner is truly random, too, selected from the full list of characters I’ve drawn before. Toi Kuji was the lucky partner for Yor, which I think is interesting. Aesthetically I think he makes a good match for her, but obviously the Sarazanmai boys are usually just used for yaoi content. I figured Toi would want to give her some advice, since he’s appeared a number of times in my work, and I thought maybe it’d play well into Yor’s concerns over her performance.
