The theme for this cover was nature-related characters. I didn’t really have anyone in mind when I posted the theme, but I think the only real options were Captain Planet and Poison Ivy. I went with the cap primarily just because he’s taking an anon role in the pic series focused on his show, meaning I’ve never properly drawn him before. So this magazine hopefully remedies that.
I picked Amy for this cover during the midst of our 1 Club poll tournament on Discord. At the time she was doing very well, but I had no idea she was going to win it, so I figured people would be happy to see her here. The theme for this magazine was furries, as a follow-up to the animal-themed characters nominated for the last one.
For this month’s magazine cover I asked Subscribers to nominate characters with some sort of animal connection to their character, excluding furries. I got a lot of good nominations, but decided to go with Inosuke who’s still riding the momentum from his runner-up spot in the first Superstar Tournament.
For this magazine cover I decided to try something a little different. So far the covers have all featured established Studio residents, but for this one I invited people to submit characters who had not yet debuted in the Studio. I don’t plan to do this often, if ever again, but I got some interesting suggestions this time. In the end I went with Tier from Bleach. She’s from after I stopped watching, but I always thought she looked cool and figured she’d be an interesting addition here.
The theme for nominations this time around was “Ten and Under”, that is, characters who I’ve drawn ten times or less. There were some fun nominations, but I thought Johnny Bravo would make an interesting and different cover boy. We also haven’t really seen him in a role like this yet, so it’s something of a change of pace.
Here’s the thirteenth Studio Life Magazine cover, featuring Maki Zenin. Maki’s been making a lot of waves in the Studio lately, and I think she makes for a good cover model here.
This magazine cover was another selected from nominations by Subscribers. The theme this time was “Deuteragonist”, and I decided to go with Bakugou since I feel like it’s been a minute since he got a spotlight.
A while ago I posted a pic of Cheetara with Goku, and I mentioned at the time that it was one-half of a Lord Tier commission, but I had another half of it that I’d have to post later. That time has come, with Cheetara getting a magazine cover via commission. Even though the Subscriber who commissioned it got this pic back then, I wanted to wait to post it because the couples cover was meant to be issue 10 and I didn’t want to fuck with the numbering.
For the tenth magazine cover I thought I’d break the model and do a couples pairing. A number of Studio couples were nominated for this page, but I decided to go with Goku’s parents since I thought they struck a good balance of being a popular, loving couple who have a good presence in the Studio but still feel underrepresented.
Here’s the ninth Studio Life magazine cover. At the time that I invited nominations from Subscribers for this cover, I hadn’t done a male-focused one in a while (the commission with Gon hadn’t happened yet). So the theme this time was just male characters, and there was a variety of nominations. In the end I went with Denji, who’s a character with a pretty unique situation in the Studio who’s also made a lot of appearances, so I thought he’d make a good cover star.
