This is a Lord Tier commission done through my SubscribeStar, featuring three characters this Subscriber has hinted at wanting to see for a while. The premise here is that Todo asked Rex of Invincible is infamous “type of woman” question, and this is the result.
And here we have another case of two submitted questions that I think work together. Since both had kind of a simple answer, I figured Mark could address them at once.
It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.
It’s been a minute since the first entry, so I wouldn’t blame anyone for forgetting about this series, but I finally got around to doing the second plot in the Grave of Teenage Asses. Eve’s someone who I think people want to see more of, and I figured she’d be a nice fit for this series.
Also, for anyone who’s interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
So, if I’m not mistaken, this is actually our 100th One-Shot, which is wild to think about. I’ve been doing these monthly since the fall of 2016, and there’s still plenty more to come! This one was won by a relatively new Subscriber, and is a focus piece on Invincible’s Atom Eve. She’s a character I feel like there’s some demand for more of, so I hope y’all will enjoy this action with her. I think I personally would’ve stuck with pairing her with other ladies from Invincible, since there’s a lot of good ones I haven’t drawn yet, but they instead elected for a more eclectic lineup. I hope y’all will enjoy it!
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.
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.
I think these three have a cute dynamic, especially in the second season. I wanted to something with Amber specifically for a long time, but as you may have noticed I never got around to most of my Invincible ideas from when the first season came out. With a bit more buzz for the series in my community it’s become easier to revisit some things, and hopefully this won’t be the last time I get around to characters from this series who caught my eye.
Our most recent First Shoot poll featured another three-way tie. The first of the three characters who tied is Nolan Grayson, better known as Omni-Man from Invincible. I’m not personally a huge fan of him, but I see the appeal for others and decided to include him in the poll. His tie here coincides with a number of other Invincible things that have already come through, marking something of a resurgence for a show I haven’t watched in a while. Omni-Man’s randomized partner for this shoot is Cell, and I had a pretty easy time working out their dynamic.
