I feel like this one kinda speaks for itself, just one more fun thing for Denji to try out with Makima.
Here’s the fourth page of Beach Treat, our Yuri Ongoing comic on SubscribeStar. Normally I let the Subscribers fully handle ideas for new pages, but I had this image of the first two panels here in my head and wanted to do them. So I counted that as the first panel of the four allotted, and let the Subscribers handle the rest. Hope y’all enjoy the page!
I decided to do a couple pics based off the year-end awards I posted about on Twitter. Some dedicated Subscribers on my Discord figured out which characters I drew the most (among other things) in 2023, and I decided to pair up some of the winners for fun.
Vegeta’s the male character I drew the most, thanks largely to appearing in two ongoing comics (alongside his female counterpart), along with a number of Asks and such. Nanami is the Male Newcomer of the Year, in that he had the most appearances for a character who debuted in 2023. This was also largely thanks to a comic, one which hadn’t even had its first page go public when I announced the winners. That might have made his win confusing for people who only follow the public releases. There’ll be a similar pic for the top women soon.
The second pic features the most frequently-appearing female performer from 2023 (Android 18) with the top newcomer (Makima). 18 got in similarly to Vegeta, with both appearing in ongoing comics a lot last year, while Makima got her numbers boosted through a mix of Beach Treat and her recurring pics with Denji.
I’ve seen some demand for Makima to take on a more submissive role in her Studio work. While I don’t really think that suits her, I figured for a Dare it’d be perfectly fine for her to let another woman fuck her. I thought Future Bulma would be a good pick, since Bulma’s already got a reputation for being good with a strapon in my work. Theoretically Future Bulma would as well, just y’know… more of it.
Of the scripts submitted for this page, I found a few common themes I tried to incorporate into the final product. Kobeni’s really getting ganged up on here, and I actually have an idea for my own I’d like to maybe force my way into the next page.
I don’t think Denji’s progress/training/whatever with Makima necessarily should be told entirely through Character Asks. I decided to do a little boobjob pic between these two that I thought might be fun. Hope y’all like it.
It seems as if Makima’s taken over Denji’s explorations into sexuality since arriving in the Studio.
For the second page of Beach Treat I had a difficult balance to strike with the submitted scripts. The final page I settled on is kind of its own thing removed from any one direction people were pushing the comic, I think, but uses elements from what was submitted to get there. The first panel is something I really wanted to work into this comic but didn’t think would fit in later, though, so I kinda pulled an executive decision to fit it in.
Makima has the energy of a confident, lazy predator, so I picture her casually sizing up people as she goes around the Studio. I don’t personally think she has much of a type, really, but rather goes after anyone she happens to think is interesting for whatever reason. I went with Kazusa for her partner here in part because I just find it easy to picture her catching Makima’s attention, but also because I know this Subscriber is fond of her.
So, I figured once Makima debuted an Ask along these lines would be inevitable. I’m not sure yet just how much I want to explore Denji and Makima’s relationship within the Studio, but I figured this Ask would be a good little peak into how things are going for our boy since her NHML debut.
