Daylight Park - Candy, Page 16

Happy New Year, folks~ Sorry about the late-in-the-day update, had some irritating IRL things we've been coping with. But yeah, Candy! Funny enough this script was actually gonna be the next update but.... Ehhhh, we wanted to show a bit more of the downward slide with her waking up from a nap. Hope everybody enjoys~

Anonymous Commission - Xenoblade Tournament Comic

And we bring the year to a close with Xenoblade! Feels weirdly appropriate I guess, if only since we've kind of had several other Xenoblade things piling up lately anyway so it makes sense to get this posted to givesome breathing room before some of that other stuff gets posted as our XCX tie-in in a few months. If you remember the Smash Bros. comic tournament - we really need to get back to the Joker one incidentally, kind of hard to make time for it - we put up the scripts offered at discount...

December 2024 Avalance

Sure we did that batch update for My Little Pony but we've got a LOT of commissions waiting to be submitted and here they all are! Very proud of some of these but generally these are things we're not eager to submit on their own. In particular we're very proud of the Ashen Wolves (hence why they're the spotlight). Kinda needed to get this done; it's only proper to clear out a lot so we can help start the new year fresh! ..... Huh. Wait. It's not the 31st yet. I guess we'll have to do somethin...

The Universal Struggles Of Spiders

Heheh.... Yeah, after being regressed, Peni naturally has issues keeping up her double life as Spider-Girl and normal student Peni Parker.Classic Spider-Person issue juggling both sides of who she is. Was fun getting an idea of what was going on, in this case coping with Conner-Sensei. One fun part of doing more with Peni is trying to figure out what other people in her universe are like, and I always really enjoyed the character of Dr. Connors as one of the few positive science-related people...

Grandsword Commission - Mirror Mirror

Yeah, a commission that came out pretty cute, eh? Thought it'd be a fun one to show off. Not too much to say about it, but hope folks enjoy~

Magical Setback

Okay, yeah, everybody loves Camila and it's sorta weird we haven't drawn her more given how many sweet moments she has. Here we see Luz coping with some mishaps on her magic, fortunately she has her mama there to get her through it. ^^ Yeah, very simple pic but really enjoyed it. Kinda went with this because we could use another cartoon-related submission. We try to make an effort to vary those up, plus we've got more Owl House sitting~

Letting Your Imagination Crawl Wild

Heh, this one came together pretty quickly and jumped the line a good bit. Started out as just a stray picture of Iino here, but then in figuring out how to flesh that out into a full product it kind of ended up ballooning into being a full-on comic. Kind of just a wonderful thing about Kaguya-sama, there is sooo much material you can mine from it for this kind of thing. We've got at least two more pictures based on the picture waitiing in the wings and we also have some pretty clear ideas for d...

Anne And The Forbidden Spellbook

Merry Christmas, folks~ Yeah, we were trying to find something that feels appropriate for the Yuletide season and this felt sort of like a gift. This was a re-draw of an old picture we did back for the 200 Character Challenge way back when... https://www.deviantart.com/lance-the-young/art/194-Anne-323576012 That picture wound up being a launching point to a comic about Anne that kept being expanded and is now the most-favorited thing in our gallery..... https://www.deviantart.com/lance-the-you...

Pre-Champ Interlude: Showdown With A Former Champion

Heheh.... Yeah, to celebrate Christmas Eve we're putting up this particular one. We had a picture sitting around of Lance looking a bit put-upon and weren't sure who to have him playing off of. After weighing options, Silver seemed like a fun and logical choice for a go-to babysitter for him. He's also living in Johto so he's on hand, he has a friendship with Lance after the events of HG/SS, and he has that sort of "gruff big brother" feel to him. Other options in mind were Drasna, Iris, and Ry...

Filing Error, Page 5

Heh, yeah, quick turnaround on this next one. In general this was kind of an awkward page to navigate since kind of had to immediately address what was happening but kind of hard to do that with Marie in the room so hey, Emily came up with an excuse! The last panel's actually a callback to two specific things in Misfile proper. The first is a very early page where Ash is in a similar pose, the second a somewhat later page where Ash first wears a pad where the comparison is made. Naturally with ...

Living The Dream Amidst A Nightmare

ZOM100 anyone? It's weird trying out a new property, but after watching ZOM100 earlier this year I could see Akira was a pretty adorable, cuddly protagonist with a child-like enthusiasm that made him pretty ripe for padding. Idea naturally sprang from that, with him just wearing padding under his bite-proof suit, with his super-duper-incredibly-innocent explanation. Very him. ^_^ Had a lot of fun with the show, but never did watch the finale. Actually did a great job having very heavy, morbi...

Missing the Save Point

Heh, this one's jumping the line a little but we've got a fair few other Danganronpa projects waiting in the wings so made sense to go ahead and submit this one. Kind of just goofy fun with the way Ultra Despair Girls' save points work, not a lot to it but rather happy with how it turned out. Admittedly think the blood could look better but eh. Might notice the billboard has the logo for Amaterasu from Rain Code. Kind of just a cute little nod, though we do have another Rain Code thing in the w...

Erika's New Perfume, Page 12

Heheh... Yeah, like we mentioned, with the comic deliberately going in a cartoony direction, we naturally wanted to get some good slapstick in there as well. Poor Erika naturally takes a few bumps from this, in particular from Mom checking up on her. That plus the extra-elastic nature of her diaper.... Yeah, this was a fun one to draw. Speaking of Erika's Mom, we get our first look at Veronica. Probably the single biggest departure design-wise, but also kinda the one that needed it the most? He...

Could Be So Dependable

It is, of course, logical that we post something to tie into the release of the grand finale of Lower Decks, thus why not go with this picture we happened to have sitting of T'Lyn? It really is a fantastic show and one we're really going to miss, and we're hoping it gets a revival of some kind down the line. Absolutely recommended if you're a fan of the franchise but not seen it, can really just see the sheer love for the material in it. Maybe just skip the first couple of episodes though, show...

Happy Hearthswarming!

Okay, I did NOT realize just how many MLP pictures we had waiting to be submitted..... Either way, here's a big Christmas-y batch for MLP shots just looking extra cute. ..... ALL of these are commissions, split between three people, because yeah, everybody loves seeing us do this franchise. Do hope folks enjoy~

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 15

Heheh... Yeah, Daylight is back and we get a good look at Candy trying to cope with what's been happening to her in relation with the other babies. It's clear her mental facilities are uh.... kinda taking a tumble. It's not just Candy being super spunky and up for anything, the mysterious injections are having some clearly impacts by now.

Equivalent Infuriating

Next Daylight page is drawn but we want a little extra breathing room to get it colored, it'll be a day late. Heheh.... Yeah, apparently Mustang's been roped in with whatever's hit Edward and he's none too happy about it. Fortunately Edward doesn't seem the least bit upset about the whole thing.

Filing Error, Page 4

Heh, kind of been sitting on drawing this one for a bit just to give things some breathing room but hey, more of this story! Going to try and be pretty regular with these updates - so far they're not super time-intensive to draw - and got several scripts sitting so decent chance there'll be another before the month's out. This one was pretty fun if only to show the reactions to things. Especially enjoyed Ash and Emily being equally weirded out by it - not exactly an easy situation to comprehend...

You Know Who to Call

We weren't initially planning to post this one for quite awhile, did it pretty recently, but we learned that nearly every CN show, including Teen Titans, is being purged off Max on the 29th and we figured posting this as kind of a way to give people a heads-up on that was a good idea. Been meaning to rewatch the show for quite some time and now 'll probably try and do that in the next two weeks. But yeah, kind of just some goofy fun. We've toyed with the idea of doing more with these two going ...

Geoff the Mighty

Heh, this is another one we've been sitting on for a long time that we did some quick extra touch-ups on so we could get posted. Been a long time at this point since we've posted anything with Geoff but we do have a couple more with him waiting in the wings past this one. Not sure if this is something that's come up in pictures with him before but an idea we kind of eventually hit on in just messing around with the character between us is that despite how big and muscly he is his strength is on...

Putting On A Super Show

Well, you voted and we heard you; here's Peach to celebrate the Game Awards! This was drawn a while back after the Princess Peach Showtime came out, but the idea of putting on a show actually works out great for the new concept as well. Funny thing, we originally went with the Super Show baby outfit just because we both agreed it was really cute and nobody drew it very much. Buuuuut after the picture was finished, just on a whim we started adding new outfits. Finally we got a pretty comprehensi...

Annakatan Commission - New Baby Brother

Been a bit since we've posted any Koiwai stuff but we've got quite a few more of these waiting in the wings so felt like a good time, particularly since we kind of stalled out on polishing up another thing we were eyeing instead that'll probably come on the 13th. Not a crazy amount to say on it but hope everyone enjoys.

Perfect for Car Trip Man

Hey, just because we have a picture sitting with Roll tied up in the poll doesn't mean we can't post one of Rock to tie into Secret Level, eh? Not sure if I'll check the show out or not but definitely curious about the Mega Man part of it at least, should be fun seeing the series get some love. Had fun really leaning into the Mega Man 2 aesthetic with this one, kind of just wound up being a fun little thing to do.

Game Awards Tie-In Poll

With us updating every day this month, naturally there are decisions to be made about what to post when. And seeing as we have a big backlog and a lot of video game pictures, why not experiment a bit with that this time around, eh?

Thus, we have a poll here -

Patricktricks Commission - This Is A Stick-Up

Yeah, these two are villains we created for commissioner Patricktricks, and he had us do up this little comic of the pair committing a robbery. Bambino, the one on the left, is the stand-out here for me. Idea is she stopped aging in the 20s as a toddler and still dresses like it's that period. She's rocking that Flapper Girl look. ^_^ This one's been sitting around waiting to get submitted for a bit, so it's a bit older than some of the other recent submissions. Kinda just got lost in the shuf...

Mysterious Boogey X

It's December 8th, Martin's Birthday, so celebrating with some Mysterious Girlfriend X, a very wonderful anime that everybody should check out~ This picture has been in progress for a looooong time, a simple and very pretty image just helping to give a glimpse of how bizarre and wonderful the relationship between the two leads are. Early in the manga Tsubaki has a dream of doing an elaborate dance with Urabe so we thought we'd draw something with them doing that together, just looking cute. Hel...

Lulshi Commission - Zelda Reborn

You guys ever notice how when Zelda realizes she's destined to save the world she's just... old enough to do so? It'd hit REALLY differently if she suddenly realized her destiny lying in a pram. Yeah, this is the start of a new Zelda series coming from Lulshi. Really fond of how this one came out. ^^ Hope you folks like how this little series winds up going.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 11

Heh. Yeah, with re-inventing Erika's design we wanted to bring back the hair-band she had in the early, EARLY pictures of her. We kinda dropped that element and wanted it back. So felt good to put it back. That plus with the silvery, color scheme makes her look so angelic... Just love how this page looks. Especially all the super-cute expressions. ^_^ Well, MOSTLY super-cute. Yeah, this is our first look at Marie, who ALSO has a tweaked look. Nothing super extreme since we usually don't see muc...

Pre-Champ Page 4-2 (Nest)

Pretty overdue getting this one posted. We actually have a bunch of these sitting already drawn, but they tend to get lost in the shuffle a bit since they're a bit more intensive to work on than some of our other comics and the longer they wait the more effort they need to look decent enough to where we're cool with posting them. Bit of a self-perpetuating cycle but going to try and get in the habit of posting these on as regular of a schedule as our other works. So yeah, Lance has his first vi...

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 14

Heh, sorry for the delay on this one but quite happy with how it turned out at least. Kind of been buried a little bit by all of the other comic stuff we've been doing lately but am still rather enjoying how this arc has been coming out and hope everyone else is too.
