We did another one of our Discord voting tournaments, where 512 different Studio members were pitted against each other. Like before, our runner-up gets a pin-up while our winner will work with someone they never have before, of their choosing. Yoruichi was our second place winner this time, which feels a bit overdue as she’s been in or around the final four of every tournament we’ve run up to now (if memory serves). Since Yoruichi debuted in a pin-up I tried to do it a bit different for her here, from the other side and with a toy to vary it up.
I don’t usually do Asks like this one, but something about this crossover clicked for me. Gohan has a few tenuous connections to the Gems, but mostly I just kinda vibed with him getting along with these two. It probably didn’t hurt that I got to draw Lapis and Peridot doing something together, which I’m in favor of.
It’s been a minute since I’ve had one of these to share, but a Subscriber of mine commissioned bbmbbf of Palcomix to draw two of my OC’s: Corey Park and his mother, Faith. With permission, I’m sharing it here for anyone who may enjoy it. This is not a pairing I have any real plans to do myself, as Faith isn’t really in the same category as the women he tends to go for, but now y’all can see it here in this non-canon commission.
So this one is a bit different than usual, as no one actually asked O.D. a question. However, when I read it, I immediately thought of them. Maybe that’s just due to my own biases and internalized stereotypes or whatever, but it’s very easy to picture them in charge of something like beautifying the talent. Since they rarely make on-screen appearances I’m sure it gives them something to do, too. Anyway, I’m not sure what this Subscriber had in mind for how this question might be answered, but it gives me the opportunity to flesh out a little behind the scenes lore in the Studio.
About a month ago I shared the first “ClashMe” profile, showcasing a fictional in-Studio app that facilitates hero/villain roleplay hookups. That profile was of the hero variety, but an important role in many hero and villain stories is that of the damsel in distress. Studio members who don’t want to fight for good or evil, but instead be fought over, can make an account in this category, which we see here. Like before I let my Subscribers vote from a random selection of potential characters, with Princess Zelda getting the win. Zelda’s certainly someone who has some experience with this role, and she’s showing it off a bit here in her profile.
I don’t know if Bakugou’s beating the show-off allegations here. Neito relationship with the 1-A students feels like something that wouldn’t go away in the Studio to me. After all, here as well they’re still taking the spotlight far more than anyone from Neito’s class. I see his obsession with them as being a but more than just hatred, though, and we’re seeing a bit of that here.
I don’t know how many people saw/are aware of Close Enough, but it’s a cartoon from Regular Show-creator J.G. Quintel and is a sort-of spiritual successor to that series. This is a pretty old sketch of two characters from it, Emily Ramirez and Bridgette Hashima. Like a lot of the more-stylized Western shows I’ve attempted, I was unsure about this pic and left it on the sidelines for quite some time before eventually deciding to ink and color it. I’m still not sure how I feel about this attempt to adapt the show’s style into my work, but I hope some of you will enjoy it.
