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.
This is another nomination-driven cover, where I asked Subscribers to give me non-human characters that could appear on the cover. There were a lot of good nominations, but I decided to give it to the Butt Witch. Not only am I personally fond of her, of course, but I think of her as a big part of my brand. I know not everyone in my audience likes her as much as I do, but I enjoyed doing something outside of BWBW with her. I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve done a non-futa pic with her. I actually have a few other Butt Witch pics that I’m hoping to work on soon, too, so there might be a bit more of her before too long.
The other half of this month’s Lord Tier commission is another in the Studio Life Magazine series. This time the cover goes to Gon Freecss, which I figure was probably going to happen sooner or later. Like the other entries in this series that were commissioned, the article titles and such were mostly written by the Subscriber getting the reward.
For this cover I asked my Subscribers to nominate “science” characters. There were a lot of good nominations, and if we hadn’t already had several DBZ SLM covers then it’d probably be Bulma here. Instead I went with Reagan Ridley from Inside Job, a character whose representation in my work so far is much smaller than my actual interest in her. I’m extremely fond of Reagan and would like to find more excuses to draw her in the future, but for now this magazine spotlight is pretty nice I think.
I finally got around to doing another Studio Life Magazine cover, and this is the first one to be done with the Subscriber-nomination system I plan to use going forward. The theme I gave Subscribers was “bad girls”, in order to make sure we got out first female cover, and there were a lot of good nominations. I went with Jessie ’cause I feel like she’s got a pretty strong presence in my work while also feeling kinda underrepresented. I’m also just really fond of her, so it was nice to do a simple little pic like this. I’d like to do these a bit more frequently, if I can manage, since they’re pretty easy on me while also seeming to be popular with a lot of folks.
My plan was for the next Studio Life Magazine cover to feature a female character. However, before I got around to it, the Subscriber who commissioned the original two covers got their bi-annual reward again, and this time wanted a cover with Krillin. So here he is!
A while back one of my Lord Tier Subscribers commissioned two magazine covers for a fictional NHS magazine called Studio Life. The commission went over pretty well, with multiple people saying they’d enjoy seeing the concept as a recurring series. I thought it might be fun to return to occasionally, and I thought JJK’s Yuji Itadori would be a neat character to start with.
So here is the second part of this Lord Tier commission, basically the same concept as before but with Goku as the cover model. We went with a more relaxed pose, and I decided to add a bit of a low angle to hopefully make the view more interesting. Like before, the article titles here are just ideas the commissioner had, not anything I’m planning or working on, so don’t read any meaning into them.
So, this is part of a Lord Tier Commission. Like the last one, this Subscriber decided to split their two-character commission into two one-character pics, specifically this faux magazine cover idea here. The star of the first one is Corey Park, a favorite of this Subscriber. All of the article titles advertised here were written up by the commissioner, so please don’t read into any of it as teasing future content or anything, haha. In a couple days we’ll see the cover for volume two of “Studio Life,” and I hope you’ll all enjoy it.
