Not too long ago Zarbon told us about how Vegeta really only does his ass-rating gimmick for the cameras, so here he is in front of the cameras. Al’s gotten some quick action already since his debut, but where he got to top his brother he’s now experiencing the other end. He doesn’t seem to mind it.
Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!
Rating asses has become a bit of a gimmick of Vegeta’s, but I don’t really picture him doing it just willy-nilly with whomever he fucks. Since this Ask was directed at Zarbon in this way, I figured it’d be a good chance to have Zarbon pass along second-hand info, while also establishing a hint towards some of Vegeta’s opinions.
So Corey and Loren don’t really have much in common. Even within the Applebridge canon they’re removed by the tax brackets of their parents, plus Corey’s like three or four years older than Loren. Still, I thought there could be some fun in highlighting how different they are, especially since Corey recently made acquaintances with someone who’s way more Loren’s type. As for Corey’s partner here, I couldn’t think of anyone tied to Loren who would fit (unfortunately Loren doesn’t have a grandma or anything who’s been introduced), so I instead partnered him with someone I’ve meant to pair him with for a while but never had a good chance to.
With this one I kinda thought it’d be fun for Vegeta to show his playful side a little bit. We don’t see all that much of Vegeta and Raditz’s dynamic in the series, but I kinda feel like he liked to tease him. Probably canonically that would’ve been more mean-spirited, but here in the Studio it looks more like this.
I didn’t realize this until working on this Ask, but this is actually Chi-Chi’s first Ask since the Patreon days. She’s appeared in other people’s Asks since then, but hasn’t had a question directed just at her answered in some time.
The exact ages might be a little off, if they’re even officially confirmed, but I believe the version of Chi-Chi she defaults to in the Studio is older than we ever see Gine get to be. I think that makes sense, at least, and I thought it might affect their dynamic in the Studio. I’ve alluded to Chi-Chi being more interested in her family getting to know Goku’s parents than Goku is, and I thought it’d be cute if this little quirk of their ages lead to her viewing her mother-in-law in a unique way.
I was thinking about this Ask for a while. I mentioned in the First Shoot I did with Denji and Haku how I had my own relationship with Haku being an early femboy gateway to yaoi character for me, and I thought he could do the same for Denji. I thought about other characters I short of realized I could view as pretty back then, and many of them just aren’t in the Studio. A few are, though, and I thought Zarbon would be a fun partner for Denji here. I always enjoy drawing Zarbon, and Denji already has a friendship with Raditz that could work as a bridge to knowing Zarbon. I remember as a kid seeing a lot of doujins of more bishounen-looking versions of Zarbon and Raditz as a couple, even though I’ve never really drawn them together myself. Anyway, I thought these made an unexpectedly cute pairing.
