Misty, Ash and Brock are a trio that I’ve only drawn all together a couple times, and it’s been a while. I also don’t think I’ve ever done a DP with them, so this Ask seemed like a fun opportunity to give them a little extra love.
Here’s the twelfth page of Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend! Najimi was originally going to be the eleventh page, but they got pushed back a spot to make room for Cheetara. They finally get their turn now, and it seems like they had fun. I figured it’d be in-character for them to dress up a bit for the stream, and I’m happy with how the page turned out in the end.
Also, for anyone interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
There’s not a ton of Kryptonians in the Studio, I don’t think, but there are a few. I don’t know for sure which ones this Subscriber had in mind, but I thought it’d be cute to see Lois with the Supergirl from a different universe.
Absol’s a Pokémon I always knew would fit in well into this series, but for whatever reason I never got around to it until now. Anyway, hope y’all enjoy!
For the tenth magazine cover I thought I’d break the model and do a couples pairing. A number of Studio couples were nominated for this page, but I decided to go with Goku’s parents since I thought they struck a good balance of being a popular, loving couple who have a good presence in the Studio but still feel underrepresented.
I don’t really know if Hisoka will show up in the Studio or not, but I’m sure if he does it’ll be mainly as a top for H×H boys. I thought giving Gon a chance to think it over might be interesting. This Gon has had a lot of new experiences compared to the version still back in his world, after all.
I watched the first season of Frieren back when it aired, and re-watched it with some folks a bit later. Going in I wasn’t super attracted to either of the female leads. I liked them, but their designs reminded me too much of other characters. As often happens, though, watching the show warmed me up to them, and I wanted to do a little something with them. It’s hard to say right now just how much of Frieren or Fern I’ll draw in the future, but I do think it’s safe to assume they’ll show up in my work again.
Goku’s gonna struggle with a question like this, I’m not sure if he really understands what circumcision is. He’s doing his best, though. Maybe they went to the city for it, but I always imagined Gohan and Goten being home births up in the mountains. Goku’s birth was very different.
I hope nobody had their hopes up for several pages of intense basketball action. Instead, we’re skipping the action to get right to the action. I don’t think Maki’s going to put up with this from Yoinks for long, though, so expect things to slow back down a bit in the next page.
With this Ask I wanted to go with someone who’s kinda in line with the types of villains Sailor Moon faces in her show, but is also completely removed from the genre. It’s a difficult balance to walk, but one I think provides the most interesting result, so I went with Demencia from Villainous. Demencia’s a character I always meant to do more with, and I think she makes a unique but interesting partner for Sailor Moon here as she explores the world of hero/villain play in the Studio.
