Like with the tenth magazine cover I wanted to do a pairing for the 20th, so I put the theme as parent/child pairings. There were a few good submissions, but I felt seeing these two together would be fun. This is the last magazine cover I’m gonna do for a while. I’ll probably come back to this series later, but I’m a bit burned out on coming up with themes for people to nominate for as well as new article teasers. In its place I have another series Subscribers can interact with for pin-ups that we’ll see the first entry of in about a month.
So this Ask focused on Cabba and Vegeta’s student/pupil dynamic, but I thought that King Vegeta might have some other thoughts he’d want to get off his chest. Cabba’s worked with Tarble in the past, so he knows him, but I imagine King Vegeta would have some complicated feelings about his other son now that he’s settled down in a different environment.
Goku and Vegeta trading partners is a concept I’ve seen done a few times. Amongst my Subscribers it’s been discussed a lot, too, but for one reason or another the closest I’ve come to drawing it is either just Goku with Bulma or the ladies with Vegeto. For a scenario I didn’t initially have much in the way of ideas for how to make it a scene, but hopefully the dynamic at play here works for people.
So the idea behind this comic was Yuki Tsukumo trying to find her type of guy in the Studio, with a few different pairings. The original script left it open for bi interactions, but while I was working on it I just kinda felt like Yuki should stay the focus. So, I didn’t do that, but I tried to include a couple flattering shots of the guys to balance it out. It was a weird night when I did the groundwork for this one, and I worry that affected the final product, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out overall and I hope you guys will agree. I also have a lot of backed-up threesome material for Yuki now, so if I get the chance to use some of it in Asks or something you could end up seeing some of it reused, we’ll see.
This is a Master Mini Commission for one of my Master Tier Subscribers. In the third episode of Dragon Ball Daima, they do the trope where the heroes get into a bar fight with some random scrubs. Even though the demons they fought there were never presented as anything even approaching a threat, I suppose the premise of this MMC is that they somehow managed to get the better of Goku.
It’s been a minute since I drew Piccolo with Gohan, I think. This Ask is referencing a moment in my old Special Training comic. The story there was that Piccolo lost control a bit his first time growing/using a cock, but of course now in the Studio he’s more used to it. I figure he doesn’t mind getting letting lose a little bit for Gohan when he wants it, though.
So this is a follow-up to Zarbon’s last Ask, where he appeared with Trunks. I thought it’d be fun to change things up a bit for this one and use the Super Hero designs for Trunks and Goten to double-team him. I think it’s interesting that the question calls Goku Kakkarot, but I’m not actually sure if Zarbon would default to that name the way Vegeta does. When Vegeta does it I read it as a Saiya-jin pride thing, but Zarbon wouldn’t really see a difference between a Saiya-jin and Earth name, I think. We never really see those two interract, though, since Vegeta blows his back out before Goku makes it to Namek.
For the most part I enjoyed myself with Dragon Ball Daima. I have a couple nitpicks with the story, and I’m not really sure the de-aging wish was needed, but I enjoyed seeing an official/canon take on Dragon Ball’s demon realm. I wish we could’ve seen some of the older characters associated with it make appearances, but I liked many of the new characters we got. I know there’s a few who are pretty popular, but I wanted to do something with Degesu. He’s the brother of Shin, and a supporting antagonist. He’s basically the Supreme Kai but tall, and I decided to pair him with his boss and the main character he interacts with, Gomah.
I’ve been really happy to see how well-received Ember and Silas have been, but they’ve mostly just worked with each other with a couple exceptions. I thought it’d be fun to see Ember branch out a little bit, but I wanted to keep with what’s been established with her. So she brought Eren back from a previous pic for another round, along with Ginyu, who we saw (sort of) palling around with Silas at the Halloween party last year.
