Here’s the first Character Ask for Chi-Chi. This one was kind of interesting. I had planned for her to give a sort of “I could never choose” type answer, but as I was writing it up her voice kinda took over and I was surprised to find out she actually did have a preference. It’s just one of those fascinating instances of a character’s voice surprising even the author.
Here’s the next page of ben_10mil’s comic “Surprise!” all inked, colored and translated for you guys. As always, I’ve included the original version below for comparison’s sake.
The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for November is Lime, the little girl Gohan becomes close to in episode 170 of Dragon Ball Z. I had a hard time getting started on this one, because I have lots of other projects I would rather be doing. I’m just not that interested in Lime, I guess, but I needed to get this done early enough that people can nominate next month’s characters. Because of that I feel pretty unhappy with the final result, but hopefully you guys will like it. I don’t have any plans to draw Lime again.
If you’d like to nominate a character for next month’s feature, the process is easy. Just leave a comment here or in the cBox on the side of the site naming which lady you’d like to nominate. Nominees must be characters I haven’t drawn in the past year (or, preferably, ever). I’ll compile a list of everyone nominated, and then on the first of December I’ll use a randomizer to select a winner at random. Then during the month I will draw a picture of her. Neat, right?
Here is a commission I’ve been working on for a while…. Even though the subject matter for this one isn’t super complex or demanding, I kept hitting weird stumbling blocks with this one and in the end it took way longer than it reasonably should have. Thankfully the client was super patient with me while I muddled my way through it, though, and once the lineart was done the coloring went by pretty quickly. I think the end result is pretty cute, and I hope you guys like it as well. ^_^
EDIT: My project “Dragon Ball F” hadn’t been fully realized when I first made this, but I think now that this comic fits better into that universe (where all male characters are female, and any character can become a futa by eating a “futa bean”) than it does any other take on Dragon Ball I’ve used. So I’m adding this to that series.
This is the first Character Ask for a character that doesn’t really speak (as I recall, the Cell Junior mostly giggle menacingly), though it’s not gonna be the last one. I had fun thinking up a good way to answer it, and hopefully the joke comes through despite the lack of dialogue.
Here’s the third page of ben_10mil’s comic “Surprise” colored. I decided to go a different route with the reveal of the second panel (as you can see below, the original version had little lightning bolts). I think the starburst here looks a bit better, and is also just funnier to me. Hopefully you guys like it, too.
This page took longer than I expected due in large part to the position used. In most of the panels it wasn’t a factor, but a couple of them proved especially time consuming for me, and took multiple drafts to get to look right. Hopefully the final product was worth all the work. I know these pages come out slower than many of you would like, but I can assure you I’m doing my best to get them out as quickly as I can. Page eight is already under construction, though I’m sure it’ll be a while before it’s complete.
Here is the One-Shot comic page from October. At the time that it went up on there it was very timely, but of course the One-Shots get released publicly a month after the fact, so it’s a bit late for Halloween now. I think the picture’s still cute, though, and hopefully you guys can enjoy it even if it’s no longer the spookiest time of the year.
I don’t have a lot of time right now to work on my art, as I’m going to be pretty busy for probably a couple months re-uploading the hundreds of pictures I’ve done over the years. Luckily, I have several things in-progress I can work on in the meantime. Here’s a Character Ask for Goten I had started before things went to shit.
Here’s the second page of Surprise!, a comic by ben_10mil I am working on remastering (inking, coloring, and translating from the original Spanish). The translation I’m using is a bit loose, to try and make the dialogue a bit more natural-sounding. Below is the original page, for comparison’s sake.
