So here the Goku/Vegeta one-on-one plays out a bit more. I got a bit creative with the layout and how I interpreted some of the submitted ideas here, but I hope everyone enjoys the result. I feel like we’re almost ready to wrap this one up, so I wouldn’t expect it to go longer than another page or two at most.
I mentioned before that the commission that created “Hot Yoga” was a ten-page commission that ended up split into two five-page comics. This is the second of those comics, inspired by a one-panel moment in the original Special Training. Now, it doesn’t really fit into the series canon for them to both have the Saiyan armor here, since Bulma brought her custom take on the armor for them between Vegeta and Trunks’ time in the chamber and Goku and Gohan’s. We can say that in this timeline she arrived with them a day earlier, ’cause the commissioner really wanted them to both have these blue tights for the opening moments.
I feel like Vegeta’s answer covers most of what I’d usually say here. I don’t feel like this is the same for Goku, but Vegeta’s relationship with both Frieza and Zarbon in the Studio is very much based on a role-reversal of their canon dynamics. Beyond that, I thought it’d be fun to show the contrast between these two while Vegeta answers.
I combined these two Asks, since the answers I felt best fit both were the same. Oliver has a lot in common with the teen versions of Trunks and Goten, I think. Beyond the super strength and flying, these versions of Trunks and Gohan also spent some time as super heroes in the manga so I feel like they have plenty to bond over.
It took me a little longer to get to than I’d originally intended, but I finally got another Dragon Ball F pin-up done. For this new revival series, I’m going in a roughly chronological order to characters’ scenes from the DBF stories in the literature section of my site. That means Raditz is a necessary early entry. I did draw a Raditz F before alongside Nappa and Vegeta, but this take is very different from her original design. One thing I wanted to make sure I did different was the physique. The old Raditz F was on the petite side, I think because I wanted to lean into her being the weaker member of the trio? But this time I wanted to lean into one element of Raditz’s design I think stands out, which is those long, tree-trunk like legs. So I tried to make sure the revisited version of Raditz F was a leggy bitch. I also decided to keep the widow’s peak this time. Originally I was reading both Raditz and Vegeta’s hairline as being, like, a male pattern baldness thing. This is partly due to how young Vegeta’s hair is done in the Bardock special, and there was also an established unofficial design for kid Raditz where he had bangs when he was younger, too. I’m keeping that choice for Vegeta F, but for Raditz I decided to let her keep the widow’s peak since I like how it looks on her. Anyway, I think this version feels a lot closer to a female AU version of Raditz than my old design, and I hope you guys will like her.
Here now with our third page of the yuri ongoing we’re delving into the action properly. Of the two scripts submitted for this page, I ended up mostly leaning on one for action while pulling dialogue from the other. Like our last beach yuri comic we get a panel of a character standing over another, which you might consider a callback.
