I’ve been having trouble with Asks lately. I don’t know if it’s just a burnout thing or what, but I’ve been struggling to engage with them in interesting or fun ways like I’d prefer. Until this issue resolves, though, I figured I might as well just stick to Asks I think people will enjoy the art to, so here’s Inosuke and Kirishima.
There’s a few ways I could’ve gone with this, I think, but in the end I thought an angle like this would be fun. Beerus being purple also allows me to make him recognizeable while not necessarily drawing all of him, something that’s useful for a day like today when I have a lot of other work to get to. For Bererus’ part, the last time I drew him he was fucking a different spritely little green lady, so Peridot might want to be on the lookout.
It’s not always the case that a 1 Club pic has a theme or connection between the participants. However, when I think of one that works while meeting the criteria of the series (a character I’ve only drawn once and a character I’ve drawn ten times or more), then I feel like I need to run with it. Speed-o’-Sound Sonic is a very sexy ninja boy on One-Punch Man, and I feel like I don’t need to explain why I decided to pair him with Sonic the Hedgehog here. I just hope you all enjoy this fun little pairing.
Here is page two of our pirate and ninja comic! Normally I would not recommend barging into the dressing room of performers after a show, but Luffy has the rizz to pull it off, it seems.
Here is the One-Shot comic for May! As always, this script was submitted by one of my SubscribeStar supporters. The premise of this comic was isolated/nerdy characters putting on webcam shows, although I wasn’t really confident about conveying that premise in this format so I didn’t focus on it. Instead I just kind of went with what felt right to me for each pairing, and I hope y’all will like the results. On the first panel is Futaba from Persona 5, second has Tomoko and her brother from WataMote, third is the main couple from Outbreak Company, and finally we have Ryuunosuke and Rita, the unlikely couple from Sakurasou.
Usually I try not to do Asks that are this direct and flat, but I know there’s some folks who would enjoy this pairing, and I’d like to work Kurapika into more pics if possible. So here we are, sorry if the answer’s a little uninteresting, but I thought Luffy fucking Kurapika would be fun to see.
The twelfth First Shoot rookie is Surge the Tenrec, a character from the Sonic comics. I know this character primarily though her support amongst my Subscribers, since I don’t follow Sonic media, but she seems cool and I like her look. Her random partner here is Satsuki from Ghost Stories, a girl I drew for a Halloween pic in 2021. I’m still working on improving my handling of Sonic characters, but I hope Surge looks alright enough here.
Drawing the Totally Spies trio in that previous Ask got me kind of in the mood to do more with those girls. Hopefully that will take the form of some kind of regular standalone art eventually, but for now this Ask was appealing to me for that reason (also I think it’s been a minute since I answered one from this Subscriber). I’d originally planned to pair Clover up with two characters meant to mirror Alex and Sam, but I decided that’d go against the spirit of her answer so I went instead with two basically random characters. May’s been sitting in the 1 Club for years now, and while she’ll probably eventually show up in Hypno’s Harem, she won’t have to wait that long to make her second appearance. I was also never happy with her first pic, so a better one’s been due for a long time. And April’s always a fun character to go to, especially for crossover stuff.
Our eleventh First Shoot winner is Lin Beifong from The Legend of Korra. Legend of Korra has a number of hot older women, but Lin’s a real standout I’m happy to have on board. I don’t know if I’ll ever draw her with Toph, but when Mito ended up as her random partner I figured I could at least tease it, since Mito’s primarily done incest content herself in the Studio.
While I’ve resolved to cut back on adding too many new Fusions to the Studio, I do still want to do them occasionally. I had the idea a while ago to run a Fusion poll for Subscribers made up of only First Shoot rookies, so once we hit ten I decided we could celebrate that way. So, of the first ten FS rookies, Yor and Power ended up winning the poll. I can’t say this result is terribly surprising, and I decided to go with the funniest name option I had on my list. I hope you all like Powyor, and maybe we’ll see her again down the road.
