Kind of a simple little Ask here with maybe an obvious joke, but I feel like it’s been a minute since we’ve seen either of these two and I thought they’d pair well together.
So Corey and Loren don’t really have much in common. Even within the Applebridge canon they’re removed by the tax brackets of their parents, plus Corey’s like three or four years older than Loren. Still, I thought there could be some fun in highlighting how different they are, especially since Corey recently made acquaintances with someone who’s way more Loren’s type. As for Corey’s partner here, I couldn’t think of anyone tied to Loren who would fit (unfortunately Loren doesn’t have a grandma or anything who’s been introduced), so I instead partnered him with someone I’ve meant to pair him with for a while but never had a good chance to.
Here’s the eighth page of our bi Ongoing comic, Bulma’s Afterparty, as written by my Subscribers. This page sees a transition into the more yaoi-focused section of the story.
With this one I kinda thought it’d be fun for Vegeta to show his playful side a little bit. We don’t see all that much of Vegeta and Raditz’s dynamic in the series, but I kinda feel like he liked to tease him. Probably canonically that would’ve been more mean-spirited, but here in the Studio it looks more like this.
I didn’t realize this until working on this Ask, but this is actually Chi-Chi’s first Ask since the Patreon days. She’s appeared in other people’s Asks since then, but hasn’t had a question directed just at her answered in some time.
The exact ages might be a little off, if they’re even officially confirmed, but I believe the version of Chi-Chi she defaults to in the Studio is older than we ever see Gine get to be. I think that makes sense, at least, and I thought it might affect their dynamic in the Studio. I’ve alluded to Chi-Chi being more interested in her family getting to know Goku’s parents than Goku is, and I thought it’d be cute if this little quirk of their ages lead to her viewing her mother-in-law in a unique way.
I was thinking about this Ask for a while. I mentioned in the First Shoot I did with Denji and Haku how I had my own relationship with Haku being an early femboy gateway to yaoi character for me, and I thought he could do the same for Denji. I thought about other characters I short of realized I could view as pretty back then, and many of them just aren’t in the Studio. A few are, though, and I thought Zarbon would be a fun partner for Denji here. I always enjoy drawing Zarbon, and Denji already has a friendship with Raditz that could work as a bridge to knowing Zarbon. I remember as a kid seeing a lot of doujins of more bishounen-looking versions of Zarbon and Raditz as a couple, even though I’ve never really drawn them together myself. Anyway, I thought these made an unexpectedly cute pairing.
So this One-Shot was based on a handful of different threesome pairings. I tried to go with a different dynamic for each one that I felt suited the characters. In the first panel, Pan gets its from both ends from her grandpa and great-uncle. In the second panel we have a reunion of the Elric brothers with Winry. I used their end-of-series designs here, rather than the default Studio looks for them. Then we have an unusual Super/GT crossover, Dr. Arinsu making her Studio debut alongside her brother Degesu and Majuub, who’s a different version of Uub I haven’t drawn before. The threesomes were all listed as two-against-one, with this one having the siblings against Majuub. I tried a couple different poses of them both bottoming to him, but ended up with something a bit vaguer I think. I hope that’ll be alright. Lastly we have Yuta making his Studio debut with the Zenin twins. I focused on him and Maki here, since there’s a stronger connection between them, but Mai’s not completely left out. I thought it’d be cute to see the sisters bonding a bit here, too.
Last year we started a new Halloween tradition of a highlight comic set in the Studio Halloween party. Like last year, our randomly-selected costume model, Space Beth, takes the center panel while we check in around the party with the rest. I know some characters who appear here may be hard to place, especially in the glory hole panel, and I imagine some will only be identifiable through the tags in the public post. I’m pretty happy with how this comic turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing some of the Studio residents enjoying the spooky season.
