I see this Ask as a sort-of sequel to the Mini Commission I did of the orange sisters not long ago. I see Blackfire as taking a lot of personal pleasure in domming Starfire due to their relationship from the cartoon, but I do think she’s also the type to enjoy controlling anyone who would let her. While I don’t see Princess Bubblegum as a complete sub (honestly, she’s got “switch” energy to me), I do see her as someone who could enjoy slipping into that role, letting go of pressures and stress, even if she finds Blackfire’s rudeness a bit tough to swallow. Mostly I just thought it’d be funny if Blackfire was drawn to another woman whose voice scratches that itch for reasons she can’t explain.
I usually try and avoid answering Asks with negative answers, but this was one case where I felt I could still have a bit of visual fun with the response. I know some artists have had some fun leaning into Starfire’s more dominant side, as it can be fun to see characters go outside of their usual roles. Starfire’s alter-ego of Starfire the Terrible from Go! can be a good avenue for that sort of thing, but it just didn’t feel right for how I tend to view the sisters (at least in my work). I’ve never seen Blackfire dominating Starfire as a forceful or power-based thing, but more a result of their personalities. Blackfire’s sadistic side and manipulative talents playing into Starfire’s eagerness to please and naturally submissive tendencies. In the series this is a toxic relationship Starfire has to grow out of, but for my purposes it plays more into a balanced dom/sub dynamic. With that in mind, I’m not sure if I could really see Blackfire willingly going into a role reversal with her sister… If I wanted to do that, it’d probably need to be its own story, and not an Ask, so for now instead I thought it’d be fun to see Starfire suffer some light punishment for bringing it up to her at all.
Here is a fun little commission, I think. In case their heads obscure a bit too much of the banner, what we’re seeing here is an “Anal Creampie Contest”, where the gal who takes the most anal creampies will receive a year’s supply of anything she wants. I don’t know if there’s more contestants we can’t see, but of these three, Bean wants beer, Mako wants food (specifically the little croquettes we see her eating throughout the show) and Maps wants comic books. I like the dynamic here, and these three girls are all fun to draw. I hope you guys like the pic, too!
Here’s a little Mini Commission featuring a return of Blackfire domming Starfire. I’ve actually been meaning to get back to this pairing for a while, but the last pic with them I started just kinda stalled out and I’ve had trouble picking it back up. So hopefully anyone who likes these two in these roles will be able to enjoy this pic instead! Since it’s a Mini Commissions, only one character can really appear, and the subscriber who submitted this idea wanted it to be Blackfire. I tried to angle it in a way where I could pull it off while still having it fall within the scope of what a Mini Commission is, and I think it worked out alright.
So, New Year’s may be past (especially by the time this post will go public), but a subscriber commissioned this little pic to commemorate the start of 2021. They wanted to see three couples from the Teen Titans having fun, so we got Raven with Cyborg, Starfire with Robin, and Terra with Beast Boy. It’s been a very long time since I’ve done anything with Terra, but she seems to be enjoying herself alongside the other girls.
I mentioned before I’ve been in a good mood for Raven lately, so even though I just did a pic with her I decided to take on this Ask as the last from the December batch. I didn’t really see a good option for B.B. just picking from what was presented, though, and rather instead liked twisting the answer to Raven’s tastes. I think this approach fits their dynamic a bit better, personally.
I’ve been in a Raven kinda mood lately, so you might see a bit more of her from me in the near future (no pun intended). The first thing I wanted to do, though, was ink and color this older sketch from almost a year ago. I don’t remember why I started this one back then, but I always liked how the perspective turned out and made a point of wrapping it up, even though Raven’s less of the focus in this one.
