So I’ve been thinking it over, and I think I’d like to take a bit of a break from the Fusions series for a while. I still have Fusion Bios to make, and we’ll see some of the ones who exist around in Asks and such, but I ready for a break from creating new ones. I still enjoy making the Fusions, but I feel like the roster’s getting crowded, and people are maybe starting to lose interest as they feel less and less special. I’m sure I’ll do more eventually, but for now Narjiro here is our last one. I tried to mix up the way both Kirishima and Naruto’s hair spikes, and I figured an orange-ish hair would be a nice middle-ground between their respective colors. He’s a bit slimmer than Kirishima, but I think he’s still got a lot going for him, and I hope y’all will like him.
Kizuku and Yorapakura are two of the more popular Fusions I’ve done, so I hope people will enjoy seeing them together. The question here references Killua and Kurapika knowing each other, though I’m not sure how much that’d really play into these Fusions hooking up. I always saw Killua and Kurapika more as guys with a mutual friend (Gon), since we don’t see much of them interacting just the two of them, as far as I can recall. However, I do think Kizuku and Yorapakura would get along well, just through their own personalities meshing well.
This One-Shot’s script wanted to see a few of my Fusion characters having some fun together, with one panel including a few of the components of those fusions that this Subscriber is interested in. We got a mix of some different types of action here, hopefully most of you will find something to enjoy in here.
I kinda had a feeling when working on these Fusions that they’d end up paired together eventually. I couldn’t think of anything in Raven or Ben’s personalities that would disrupt the Zangya/Gohan dynamic, so no big surprises or reveals here. Rather, this Ask is just about establishing an expected ship just to kinda get it out of the way.
Also, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
Raven and Zangya won this poll, which isn’t too surprising. They’re two of the more popular women in the Studio, with both making it into the first NHS Calendar. For this Fusion I tried working in some of Zangya’s clothing aesthetic into the jewel on her head, and thought a short version of Zangya’s hairstyle would be cute to see. I tried to make her skin a bit of a tealish version of Raven’s tone, and the hair’s purple like Raven’s but brighter like Zangya’s. I do feel like she ended up falling a little more on Zangya’s side than Raven’s, but I hope you all will like her nonetheless.
The poll for this Fusion was a female-only one focusing on plus-sized characters. I can’t say I was surprised to see Inko and Amethyst win, both tend to get good reactions when I’ve drawn them in the past. I waffled a bit on how to handle Inkmethyst’s skin tone, but decided to not go full-purple on her. The lighting in the pic is a bit violet, but her skin tone’s still a human one, just a bit pinker than Inko’s normally is. I think this Fusion’s a cute one, and I hope y’all like her.
Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
When I was first designing Yoinks, I was joking around with some friends about his silly name. Bakugoku also came up in a similar context, and we started joking about how funny it’d be for them to fuck, moaning each other’s silly names back and forth. While we were just kidding around, I had a feeling at least one person (the Subscriber who asked this question) might actually want to see that. I figured this Ask was as good an excuse as any to pair them up.
