I thought it’d be fun to do something with Haku again, but I didn’t really know who to pair him up with. After talking to someone else I decided to go with Yoinks, one of the characters from my NHS Fusions project you might remember. For Haku’s design here, I tried to go with something a bit different as a Studio-specific design, with his hair up but no ninja headband. For some reason I don’t picture him casually wearing his headband around the Studio the way Naruto has.
This is a pretty straightforward one that any of the Studio Fusions could’ve answered, but I assume they asked Rangya out of a specific fondness for her. Since she was answering, though, I figured I’d work in a little personal note to her explanation.
And with this splash page we officially wrap up “Leave It All On the Court.” I hope people enjoyed this one. This is the second comic I’ve approached in this style, the first being “Closing Time,” and I think they’ve been largely successful comics both in audience reception and in overall turnaround. That being said, while I would like to do more like this, I will probably wait a bit before starting the next one until my schedule clears up a little bit.
So this is the penultimate page for this comic. The story and action are basically wrapped here, but there’s one last little epilogue thing I wanna do. Hopefully it won’t be too terribly long before I get that page out.
Some time ago I did one of my AI-assisted fanfics introducing the in-Studio location Fusion Falls, and in it Kizuku and Pinkfire hooked up. That’s what this Ask is referencing, since this is the first time I’ve drawn these two together. I figured some folks might like seeing this pairing actually together on-screen.
As you might expect, we’re winding down on this project. There’s still a couple pages to go, but I hope y’all are still enjoying the ride.
This is pretty similar to an Ask I did for Natsu a while back. I had a good idea how Kizuku would answer, though, and we haven’t seen him in a minute.
Here’s the seventh page of this comic! Where’ back over to the hoop, and we’ll be staying here for a bit.
Here’s the sixth page of “Leave It All On the Court.” Not much to add here, but Yoinks and Maki seem to be having fun.
Here’s the fifth page of Leave It All On the Court! Now that Maki’s all warmed up, they can move back to fucking. This first panel is one of the catalysts for the concept behind this comic, and I’m happy to finally get it out.
