Here’s the final page to this little comic. Everybody gets to finish on someone’s face. Some of you may remember that this comic was commissioned to help cover expenses following a personal disaster, but the commission I sold was for ten pages. This marks the end of the first half of that commission, and sometime down the road I’ll begin working on another five-page comic that makes up the second half.
I don’t know if Thorfinn has much interaction with any strong women in Vinland Saga. From my limited time with the series, the only strong woman I’m aware of is his sister. So I don’t know if there’s much canonical basis to work off of here, but there was at least one strong woman in the Studio I thought might remind Thorfinn a bit of home.
This is the fourth and penultimate page of Hot Yoga. Not sure yet when we’ll wrap this one, but for now here’s the bulk of this comic’s action.
So while these two might be aware of later events from their canonical story, I wanted their reunion in the Studio to be unique to them here. Ylva had a few different questions sent her way, but I thought a reunion with Thorfinn should take priority before anything else.
For Yuki’s spotlight One-Shot, an element of the script I ended up not utilizing was a request for bi elements. I felt like it distracted from the focus on her, and I ended up just not doing it. I figured this Ask would be a good way to make good on that a bit, and I tried to use characters who wouldn’t have been out of place in that OS.
Here’s the third page of Hot Yoga! It took me a little longer than I’m comfortable with to get around to it, but this page kinda transitions us into what’ll be the main meat of the comic in the next page. Our boys seem to be having fun, and I hope y’all are too and will look forward to seeing what they get up to in the next page (whenever that comes out).
Here’s the second page of Hot Yoga, one of two short comics I sold last year to cover an unexpected financial burden. This page picks up the action a little bit, but we’ll move on to the real meat of the comic in the next page.
I posted a couple commissions not long ago that I said were part of an emergency fund-raising effort I had to run. The bulk of the funds raised from that sale were through a ten-page commissioned comic. The individual who bought that comic couldn’t fully decide on which characters they wanted to use, however, so we agreed to split it into two five-pagers. This is the first of those, a little three-way featuring Yuji, Inosuke and Thorfinn.
Updates for this one might be a little spaced out initially. Both “The Eizouken’s Closer” and “Leave It All On the Court” are only a few pages from finishing, so once those wrap I’ll be able to focus on this one a bit more. Until then, though, I did want to at least get it started with this opening page, and maybe there’ll be another page or two before those other comics finish. Regardless, I hope y’all will enjoy this one!
I’m not sure exactly what the expectation for this Dare was, but I thought it’d fit the more mature and developed Vegeta to not really fall for the provocation, but to commit to the bit anyway. Just a simple Dare here, but one I thought some folks might enjoy.
