First Shoot #6 – Erza Scarlet

By on Friday, March 3, 2023

Since there’d been some buzz for Fairy Tail ladies, I decided to include Erza in this First Shoot poll, and she ended up taking it. I never got into Fairy Tail, but as an outsider she seemed to be to be a fan favorite. I feel like most of the body pillows and figurines I saw for the show at cons were of her, so I hope people will enjoy seeing her here. In looking into her more, I realized she actually usually has her hair down, but I’ve always pictured her in a ponytail. I decided to have it both ways by letting her hair down in the second panel. I saw there was also info about her being interested in dirty magazines and the like according to the FT Wiki, so I figured she’d be all-in for joining the Studio. Misty was a fun surprise as her random first partner.

First Shoot #5 – Levi Ackerman

By on Monday, February 6, 2023

I included Levi in the most recent First Shoot poll just because he seemed kinda popular amongst AOT fans. I only barely know who he is, but I tried to capture my impression of his personality here. His partner, Pomeline, is a central character in DC’s Gotham Academy. I drew her a couple times back when I had an Epic (monthly commission) Tier on Patreon, for a supporter who really liked the series (though he mostly commissioned Olive and Maps).

First Shoot #4 – Peridot

By on Sunday, January 29, 2023

Here’s the last of the three First Shoot debuts that tied in our second poll! Peridot was one I was personally rooting for, but didn’t expect to do well. Of the main five gems in Steven Universe, she’s the only one I’d never drawn, though not for a lack of trying. I actually drew Peridot with Lapis back when she first appeared in the series (during the period where Lapis was her prisoner). While I had that pic in my drafts, they revealed that her arms and legs had extensions on them and she was actually short, and that kinda made my pic feel dated so I dropped it. I tried drawing her with Lapis a few more times since then, but the pics just never came together for one reason or another. So here she is now, in all her glory, paired with Kai from The Legend of Korra. This is Kai’s first appearance in color, as I’ve only drawn him in an old lineart commission before now.

First Shoot #3 – Faye Valentine

By on Tuesday, January 17, 2023

Here’s the second of the three-way tie for our second First Shoot poll, Faye Valentine! Faye actually has a tag on my site already, due to some old color work, but since I watched Cowboy Bebop well before I started doing hentai I just never got around to finishing a pic with her (although I did have a couple incomplete pics back in the day). Faye’s random partner is Kintaro Oe, the protagonist of Golden Boy. I feel bad I never got back to the series of pics I had planned for him, but maybe some day. Even though it’s randomized, I kinda like this pairing as Faye would’ve felt right at home with the other ladies of Golden Boy, I think.

BraveStarr Crossover Filmation First Shoot Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie

First Shoot #2 – Shuu Inuzuka

By on Saturday, December 31, 2022

So, funny story, but the second First Shoot poll I ran ended in a three-way tie. I might could’ve run a second tie-breaker poll, but since I liked all three winners I decided to just draw each of them. Funnily enough, all three ended up with their random partners being 1 Club members, as well as straight pairings. So that’s weird, but here we are.
Shuu is the best friend of Izumi-kun in Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie. Some of my Subscribers, even those who haven’t seen the show, have taken to him due to his resemblance to Bakugou. Even though I considered him a dark horse in the poll, this interest propelled him to the top, so here he is with BraveStarr’s Judge, J.B. McBride. I drew J.B. back in 2014 as part of the WWOEC Woman of the Month feature. She was actually a character I’d nominated for that event personally, because I love Filmation cartoons and BraveStarr was an outlier many people didn’t know. J.B.’s the romantic interest of the series, and I’d originally planned to draw more of her, but just never got around to it. She makes an interesting and odd crossover for Shuu, though, and I always like when we get non-sequiter pairings like this.

Crossover First Shoot Sarazanmai Spy × Family

First Shoot #1 – Yor Forger

By on Saturday, December 17, 2022

So, this is a new series idea I’m trying out called “First Shoot”. The premise here is that I run a poll for my higher-end Subscribers (except for this first one, which was open to all subs) with a list of characters who are not in the Studio yet, but would make good fits. The winner of the poll then gets to appear in a two-panel introductory comic, like you see here, with the second panel featuring them performing with a random existing member of the Studio. The partner is truly random, too, selected from the full list of characters I’ve drawn before. Toi Kuji was the lucky partner for Yor, which I think is interesting. Aesthetically I think he makes a good match for her, but obviously the Sarazanmai boys are usually just used for yaoi content. I figured Toi would want to give her some advice, since he’s appeared a number of times in my work, and I thought maybe it’d play well into Yor’s concerns over her performance.
