NHS Calendar #1 – December (Goku/Bulma)

It’s telling to the amount of Dragon Ball content I’ve done that multiple random pairings with my most-used characters were just regular Dragon Ball ships. I did find it amusing that, at the time when I generated the pairings for the Calendar, I’d never actually drawn Goku with Bulma before. He has since gotten to join in on a threesome with her and Vegeta through an Ask, but this is still his first one-on-one with her. As the original main characters of the franchise, I’ve seen them paired up a lot in others’ works, but I guess I just never got around to drawing them together myself.
I thought a little Santa hat on Bulma would be cute for the December page, and when I eventually do another calendar I think I’d like to do more stuff like this. I did often try to use a color scheme that matched the month, but I think in the second calendar project I want to try and work in more iconography of the month into the pic, where I can.
Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

Bugs Bunny Character Ask 2

I believe I mentioned earlier that I have something in the works involving Bugs Bunny. I recently settled on using the Looney Tunes Show design for this project, as I think it’s a bit sleeker and sexier than the more classic design, and this project will also involve some crossdressing. This Ask seemed to me like the perfect opportunity to practice drawing Bugs this way, so here we are. I guess I’ll go off of people’s reactions to the Ask to see how much more I need to work on my approach with him. As for the other half of this pic, I felt like I should use someone recognizable instead of an anon, but I didn’t want to go to any of the standard tops. Mirio is someone I haven’t used much, plus I thought his distinctive facial features might make him fit in easier with a western cartoon character like Bugs.

Milim Nava Character Ask 1

I sometimes worry that these blowbang Asks might not be interesting enough for folks, but I was looking to do an Ask for this Subscriber (since I think it’s been a minute since they got one answered), and this was basically the only question they’d submitted that I could work with. Since Milim comes from a fantasy series, I thought it’d be fun to let one of her anons have a non-human skin tone, so I gave one of them the same shade of green that the goblins from her show are (though he’s not meant to be any specific character, just an anon of a different species).

Villain’s Cock Sleeve Factory

This Master Tier commission had me worried at first, as it had a lot of details to keep track of, but it ended up not being an issue. Here we’ve got MegaMan.EXE and Young Link captured by some sort of villain organization, fitted with hypno visors and cock cages, and toyed with by Selim Bradley’s darkness powers (making this technically a three-way crossover). I don’t have much to say on this one other than I hope you all like it!

Sailor Moon Character Ask 4

Another Ask with an answer I think people could easily predict. The only thing I had to consider here was who to pair Usagi with. I kinda wanted to keep up the theme of pairing her with Dragon Ball characters, but I didn’t want to go with any of the obvious big names. Maron’s only appeared a few times, and is a cute ditzy character I could see Usagi potentially vibing with.

Frieza Character Ask 5

I thought it’d be interesting to see Frieza taking Gohan’s cock, so here we are. How he answered seemed pretty obvious to me, so the only thing I had to decide on was what version of Gohan it’d be. I kinda felt like it should be one of his looks from after Frieza’s revival. I like his design in Resurrection F, but I didn’t feel like it’d be a good fit given their interactions in that film. While I’m not a fan of most of what I’ve seen from the recent Super Hero movie, I do kinda like Gohan’s new base hairstyle, so I went with that.

Yaksini and Eddie

This is another annual commission for one of my Master Tier Subscribers. This one’s an odd one, and I think it exists mostly as a way to get these two characters into the Studio. At the very least, the commissioner said they felt their wasn’t enough art out there of either character. Yaksini is a demon enemy in Shin Megami Tensei, and I don’t think there’s much to the character beyond that. Eddie Archer (Imada Kanchi) is one of Nate’s friends in Yo-kai Watch. Other than maybe a loose relationship with the supernatural these two have nothing connecting them, but here they are anyway. The commissioner wanted to see them in the Amazon position, and I went with a high angle to really highlight their already noteworthy size difference.
