December ’25 One-Shot

The winning One-Shot comic that’ll close out 2025 featured Dandadan, which I think is quite appropriate. Dandadan was a newer anime that I really took to, but I’ve only done a handful of pics with it so far (aside from one side project comic). This comic brings in most of the main cast that I hadn’t drawn yet, with a focus on Okarun and Jiji. The script made no mention of Turbo Granny, but I threw her in purely of my own volition.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2025

Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!

Subscriber Scenarios #13 – Alien Investigations

For those who don’t know, the world of Dandadan is populated by both ghosts and aliens, and a lot of its plot derives from those worlds colliding. Seiko is a psychic who readily believes in ghosts and spirits and yokai and such, but scoffs at the idea of aliens no matter what evidence is shown her. I saw no reason for that to change in the Studio, and thought it could be a fun chance to bring back a few characters I’m fond of.
I don’t know if this Subscriber had any specific aliens in mind when submitting this premise, but Queen Tyr’ahnee is one I immediately thought of. I thought this exchange would be fun between the three, and I could’ve left it there but I always have to make these Scenarios bigger projects just to spite myself. It occurred to me that picking a hot alien might not be the way to convince her, so I squeezed in a cameo for Booey Bubblehead and Gilda Gossip, two characters I have a soft spot for but don’t get to use terribly often.

Seiko’s Special Training Cover

Back when I watched the first season of Dandadan I sketched out a bunch of stuff focused on Seiko and her granddaughter Momo. At the time I toyed with a few different ways of using what I had, but ended up just sitting on most of it as I worked on other projects. Due to a few different factors I’d rather not get into, I’ve decided to go ahead and make an ongoing comic out of it. This here was one of the earlier things I drew, and was always gonna be a cover if I ever had an excuse to do one. Usually I’d probably wait and double this up with the first page, but I decided to go ahead and release it solo just to get Seiko into the Studio and set the stage for the comic later. It’ll be a bit until the first page comes out, but I hope y’all will enjoy it when it does.
