Mina Ashido Character Ask 2

So, for this Ask I of course knew Mina would say yes to working with Gohan again (and I figured showing them together would spice up the response a bit), so those elements were kinda given. Mina’s one of those characters who’d be down to partner with almost anyone in the studio, I think, which was the main joke of her first Ask (where she kept thinking of more and more potential partners until her speech bubble ran off the screen). While I was working on this, though, I thought about how Mina might feel about the Gohan/Zangya rimming contest those other Asks covered. After all, she’s worked with Gohan now, and I plan to do something with her and Zangya eventually (Zangya has been established as taking on a mentor-like role with a lot of the MHA girls within the studio). So when she sees Ochaco get to be involved in something fun like that, maybe she’d get a little jealous. 😉

Carnal Kingdom S.H.O.T.A. Project 1 – Goku and Kitarō Training

So this is a commission set in the “Carnal Kingdom” universe (same as those “For Sale” and “Sold!” commissions I’ve done in the past, along with a lot of other commissions around the net). This is a new sub-series in the Carnal Kingdom, as far as I know, featuring the mind-breaking process for shota characters. This one features kid Goku (from Dragon Ball, not GT) and Kitaro of GeGeGe no Kitaro, being overseen by a random demon scientist lady. The client behind this pic has made mention of a follow-up, so unless something changes there’ll be more to come in next month’s commissions. 😛

Near’s Drag Race – Son Goten

I know some folks have been a bit anxious about it, but here’s Goten’s entry in the Trap Sluts series, finally. Sorry these take so long, but well… they just do. I went back and forth on several ideas for Goten’s outfit here. I didn’t want to do another Chinese dress, since I’d done that for Gohan already, but Goten doesn’t have much in the way of iconic outfits (his outfit in Super lends itself to being redesigned as a Chinese dress, but other than that he’s mostly just got his gi). Another problem I had was trying to figure out what to do with his hair, but when I decided a hairband would be a nice way to doll that up the rest of the outfit kinda fell into place. Of course it then immediately fell out of place as it was pulled off him and scattered on the floor, but that’s another story.
I’m going to keep up the pattern of Dragon Ball/non-Dragon Ball, so expect to see another franchise represented in the next entry. Don’t know for certain who I want to use yet, but I’ve got a few ideas.

Zangya Character Ask 5

So, if Zangya had won the contest between her and Gohan, it’s possible she might’ve thought up some kind of “penalty” for the loser. Gohan’s a sweet kid, though, and it’d hard for me to picture him taking much pleasure in humiliating Zangya just for losing a silly contest like this. Zangya might need more practice, though, and that’s where I took the concept, especially once I hit on the idea of using Blackfire. Like Zangya, Blackfire is an alien chick who takes great pleasure in playing domme, though in her case it’s with Starfire rather than some boy. However, I really liked the idea of Blackfire using this chance to get Zangya under her thumb for a little while, even if it’s just in the name of “practice.” I dunno, something about that dynamic seemed too good to pass up.

Mito Freecss Character Ask 2

In case it’s not clear by the hair, the girl being “shared” by Gon and Mito here is Caulifla. I’m not good at explaining why some pairings make sense to me, but I thought she’d be a fun one to stick in this role (also I haven’t drawn her in a real long time, despite thinking I’d be drawing her a lot when I first met her). I don’t have too much to say about this answer, I’m afraid, but I think the pic and text themselves about cover it. ^_^

Videl Character Ask 1

First off, I wanna say I think Videl’s expression turned out a bit angrier than I’d originally intended it. I do think the juxtaposition of her face with Goten’s is funny, though, so at least there’s that.
Videl’s a character I have a bit of trouble pinning down, but one element to her personality (at least in Z, I don’t recall seeing it much in GT or Super) is her tendency to get annoyed (it plays into the tsundere qualities mentioned in the question). So I worked with that to explain her tendency to switch between dominate and submissive. I think one way to frame it that she doesn’t mention is that she’s more dominate with female partners and more submissive with male ones, though I don’t think that’s a hard rule (I could totally picture her being more dominant/demanding with Gohan, for instance, while perhaps being more submissive with Chi-Chi or Bulma). I name dropped Pearl in her response because the original picture for this Ask was gonna be her and Pearl from Steven Universe, but the image wasn’t turning out like I’d hoped so I switched gears. The Miss Piiza reference is to an old pic I did of the two of them together (in their Super designs) that I always liked. I’ve of course also shown her being more in control with other girls in pics like the one I did of her and Marron not too long ago, and plan to do more along those lines in the future.

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.

Son Gohan Character Ask 8

Somewhat surprisingly, this is Gohan’s first solo Ask since I switched from the old grey backgrounds. He’s appeared in other Asks, of course, but not a solo one in a while. So I had a lot of thoughts when it came to this Ask. I suspect the goal of this question was maybe to try and facilitate some visual representation of one of TFS’s many sex jokes, but I can’t be sure. I haven’t watched DBZ Abridged in years and don’t make any effort to keep up with the memes. Instead I figured this would be a good chance for Gohan to nerd out for a bit, though his answer here is rather abridged (no pun intended). It was also a good chance to slip in a little continuity nod with his tutoring of Maka Albarn from a previous Ask. I’d originally planned to show him reading a book while giving the answer, but when I was working out the pose I thought it’d be cuter to position the camera behind him. I still think he’s reading, but now it’s like the “camera” just walked into the room behind him and he’s taking a break from reading to give the answer.
