Here we get a bit more into the one-on-one yaoi side of this comic, as Bulma and 18 mostly play a support role to Goku and Vegeta’s moment.
Like with the female performers, we had some ties with our top male performers, but at least here there was more symmetry. Yuji and Goku both tied for our top returning males, while Al and Sero tied for our male rookies. It honestly didn’t feel to me like I drew Sero as much as I did Al, but that’s probably in part because he served a mostly-anon role in one of his appearances. Regardless, I decided to pair Al up with Goku, since last year’s version of this pic had Goku with Ed. That left Sero with Yuji, naturally.
So here is page three of Capsule Corp. Bliss, where we finally get to some action. I think this is where I’m going to leave this comic for now, as I move on with my rotation. I think this comic has a good start now, but it was intended as a celebration for hitting a SubscribeStar milestone and I’m currently still dancing back and forth across the threshold of that milestone instead of firmly past it. I’m hopeful that when we come back to this comic on down the line we’ll be more securely into the era this comic was intended to mark the start of.
Goku and Vegeta trading partners is a concept I’ve seen done a few times. Amongst my Subscribers it’s been discussed a lot, too, but for one reason or another the closest I’ve come to drawing it is either just Goku with Bulma or the ladies with Vegeto. For a scenario I didn’t initially have much in the way of ideas for how to make it a scene, but hopefully the dynamic at play here works for people.
When I first moved from Patreon and SubscribeStar, one goal I set up was to start a sequel to one of my completed comics when I got back to the same income I had on Patreon. It took longer than I would’ve liked, mostly staying just shy of it for what felt like forever, but we’re finally there (more or less). So, I ran a poll with descriptions of potential sequels for all of my completed comics, and the winning one was this, a sequel to Fire Mountain Bliss. Fire Mountain Bliss was an early commission that ended up sitting incomplete in my work folder for years, but I eventually finished it and released it just so all that work wouldn’t go to waste. That comic followed a quick affair between End of Z Trunks and Buu Saga Chi-Chi (as the commissioner wanted), so we’re mirroring that here in the Sequel with End of Z Goten and Buu Saga Bulma. I’m not going to try as hard to imitate the Pandora’s Box style here (that was also a specification of the original commission), but I am trying to keep it feeling like mostly the same aesthetic of the original comic. These two comics are set in a different continuity to my other Dragon Ball work, not just due to the mix-and-match designs, but also because I don’t think these versions of Goten and Trunks have a history of sleeping with their moms like in Chi-Chi the Sitter, etc.
This Dare is born from both Bulma and Kanamori developing a reputation for being skilled with a strapon. This Dare’s been submitted for a few months now, but I was hesitant to go for it mostly because I knew it’d come across as me playing favorites. I do like this idea, though, and I figured some others might like it, too.
