This is an Ask I’d considered doing for a few months now, but always went with something else first. I think Nobara and Yuko have a really cute dynamic in their limited time on screen together, so putting them back together here in the Studio seems like it could be fun.
So this Ask kinda references back a couple of Aki’s old Asks. I used him here since he has a fairly memorable scene involving enjoying some coffee in season one, but in that scene he’s making his own coffee at home. However, we’ve established through one of his Asks that he has a habit of losing his mornings due to staying in bed with some casual fling, so when that happens he’ll grab a quick coffee from the Studio amenities. Also, and this was not intentional, but he’s also posed like Momo was in his ask with her way back when.
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.
