Iwasaki Tatsuya – Romantic No. 17, Page One

This comic reads right-to-left.

This is the first page of a doujin by artist Iwasaki Tatsuya. I first started coloring this doujin about five years ago. I got pretty far with re-inking it, but then eventually ended up forgetting about it for a long time. I came across it again at the same time I picked up Mickey and the Queen to resume coloring. I didn’t want to pick both projects back up at the same time, so I decided to wait a while before returning to it. Eventually I did get back to it, and while my approach to coloring has changed since I first started this, I’ve decided to try picking up where I left off instead of starting it over. Like with my other coloring projects, I’ll add new pages to the Post Schedule as I finish coloring them.

Gero’s Control

I recently wrapped up this commission featuring Androids 17 and 18. This one’s a bit different than what I usually do, since I typically like to portray a grounded scene. This is more symbolic or metaphorical. It started as an homage to the opening of Spectre, but through discussion it sort of morphed and became it’s own thing.

I have mixed feelings about this one. I feel there are some elements I could have done better, I’m not sure my style is properly suited to this sort of art. I think a more traditional, painterly approach could have really driven home the more sinister undertones (and overtones!) of this pic, but that’s not really my area of expertise. Nonetheless, I think it turned out fine. I will probably doing more straight-up pornographic material with the Androids at some point, but it’s hard to guess when.

EDIT: By request, I’ve added a second version without the good doctor (though I kept the RR logo).

Keep Him Alive

I’ve been on a real Dragon Ball kick lately. There’s probably going to be a lot more to come over the next few months. Probably it won’t all be like these most recent pics, I do have some straight and yuri concepts I’d like to do as well. I also hope to draw some other properties soon, but we’ll see where my interests take me. Right now I have, like, five other DBZ pics in the works, plus the start of a comic that I hope to be sharing soon.

Bijob #2 – Androids

Here’s the second pic of my Bijob series. Sorry this took so long, I know a number of you were looking forward to it, but this image went through several drafts before I settled on this one. I don’t know why, but I had a hard time getting an angle I was happy with. Truth be told, I’m still not crazy about it, but it’s definitely the best of the ones I turned out.

I wanted to do one with Android #18 and her twin brother, #17 from Dragonball Z. Once I had decided on them, it seemed natural to make the receiving guy (who may not always be a character from the property, but in this case is) Krillin, #18’s husband. We don’t see much of #17 after they marry, but it’s implied in GT (for those who consider it canon) that he lived in the woods after being revived by Shenron. I suppose it’s possible that between the Cell and Buu sagas he paid his sister and her husband a visit, though I can’t say I’m terribly worried about making this picture fit into continuity. 😀
