This is a pretty old sketch, and one of several such old pics I dusted off and put on my to-do list once I started putting one together. Of course I did a position similar to this in Bulma’s Afterparty recently, but with a different Saiya-jin on top.
This is a really old pic I never got around to inking and coloring for several years just ’cause it seemed to time-consuming. Once I started giving myself a to-do list to work through, I added it to that list, so once it came around I had to make the time for it. It did end up taking longer than most pics I do, but I’m happy to finally have it finished and ready to share with all of you.
So here the Goku/Vegeta one-on-one plays out a bit more. I got a bit creative with the layout and how I interpreted some of the submitted ideas here, but I hope everyone enjoys the result. I feel like we’re almost ready to wrap this one up, so I wouldn’t expect it to go longer than another page or two at most.
There’s been a few Asks and the like looking for pairing the original Dragon Ball characters with their F versions. I’m currently in the process of revamping and redesigning the Dragon Ball F universe, so I’m a bit hesitant to do much with characters I plan to release new versions of soon. Vegeta F was one of the more successful designs from the original launch, and she won’t be that different in the new one. I did use the new design here, but she’ll get a proper pin-up eventually. I thought it’d be fun to lean into the fact that Gohan’s worked with his F version before, kinda spurring on that Saiya-jin competitive spirit.
Here we get a bit more into the one-on-one yaoi side of this comic, as Bulma and 18 mostly play a support role to Goku and Vegeta’s moment.
Here’s the eighth page of our bi Ongoing comic, Bulma’s Afterparty, as written by my Subscribers. This page sees a transition into the more yaoi-focused section of the story.
We’re seven pages in now, and these four seem to be having fun! Of the submitted scripts I really only felt like one was a natural continuation of the events so far, though there was some submitted stuff I expect will come up soon in future pages.
Goku and Vegeta trading partners is a concept I’ve seen done a few times. Amongst my Subscribers it’s been discussed a lot, too, but for one reason or another the closest I’ve come to drawing it is either just Goku with Bulma or the ladies with Vegeto. For a scenario I didn’t initially have much in the way of ideas for how to make it a scene, but hopefully the dynamic at play here works for people.
It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.
Here’s the sixth page of our Bi Ongoing! Like always, this script takes elements from a few different submitted ideas by my Subscribers. I ended up combining and rearranging some stuff here, but I hope the final result is satisfactory.
