There’s plenty of people who could compete with Hercules in the Studio. I thought for this one, rather than show them fucking, I’d give a nod to Hercules’s Greek roots with a little wrestling. In case he’s not recognizable, his wrestling partner here is Clark Kent, better known as Superman, someone who I figured would have no problem keeping up with Herc (even if the “My Adventures” version here is a bit depowered compared to other incarnations).
Omni-Man and Vegeta are two of those characters who you just see compared a lot, and with good reason. I’m pretty sure Omni-Man would have no problem with the bulk of the Saiya-jins in the Studio, given how many of them are from an earlier time and not up to DBZ standards. I didn’t want to commit to how he’d look at, like, Shugesh or Raditz or someone, though, so I’m limiting his sample size. I think even if Vegeta outright bested him he wouldn’t fully admit it, but at the very least there should be some begrudging respect there.
I’ve hinted at it before and outright said it a few times, but despite some characters choosing to live day-to-day in their younger bodies, everyone in the Studio is an adult. Butt Witch is a character who hates immaturity more than anything, and I’ve shown before that her relationship with Reggie/Twelve in the Studio is a little different (evidenced most by Twelve’s chat history in Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend). I figured this Ask would be a good chance to reinforce this canon, though, and I went with one of the younger-bodied characters around to help demonstrate it.
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.
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.
