Troublesome Casting

Soooo for the longest time this picture was JUST the version with the gold background; simple shot of Double Trouble from She-Ra padding themselves up and wondering about the results in the mirror. After forever we came back around to the picture to add dialog aaaand.... I couldn't think of anything. Sometimes it's hard to do a punchline/ending note to these pictures, and here I was just coming up blank. .... Then got an idea for maybe putting Flutterina in the dialog somehow and it kinda tumore...

Dirtybooks Commission - Yagami

Heh, this one's been a comic we've been sitting on for a long time just waiting for the ideal time to post it - kind of been sitting long enough that we don't really think it's a headliner since we've kind of outgrown the art on it, but it's a bit too good and expansive to dump at the end of the month - so with us updating every day this month, hey, what better time than now for some Death Note? We actually do have a small sequel to this also waiting in the wings so if you like how this came ou...

Filing Error, Cover & Pages 0-3

No Daylight just yet, not had time to fit it in among other things happening, but in the meantime we do have a little something for you - Erika isn't the only ongoing comic we're going to be dropping as it's ready to go! This is Martin posting this one. I kind of wanted to write and draw my own running counterpart to the Pokemon stuff Adam does for quite awhile, and spent a few months workshopping ideas and testing out different properties before deciding I wanted to do a Misfile thing. Just......

Reflecting on the Endless

Hey, tomorrow's the release of only the second Haruhi Suzumiya book in over a decade so of course with how often we work with the series anyway we had to do a tie-in for that! This was one of several in-progress pictures we had sitting based on the series but we decided to go with this one for the occasion in large part because these two are the cover stars of the new book, felt appropriate. But yeah, not a lot to this one, kind of just having some goofy fun with the Endless Eight situation. Li...

Erika's New Perfume, Page 10

Heheh... Yeah, Erika pages continue to be submitted as they're completed. Simple set-up but one that seems to be working for us. Is it weird that we spend a lot of time wondering what Erika is/isn't capable of? Obvious the padding is needed, but can she dress herself? The answer is yes! .... Mmmmostly!

Danger Magnet

Anyone played Process of Elimination? Really enjoyable VN I strongly recommend checking out, is a pseudo-killing game story with a really amazing cast. My favorite of them is probably Doleful Detective here and wanted to do a picture with him. His general deal is that he has powers that will cause inexplicable coincidences to happen when he's in danger to save him and... Well, we see what happened this time.

Two-Fer Commission - Wotch Trio

Heheh.... Yeah, you guys remember last Christmas where we had a discount on some properties? Two separate people ordered this particular trio of characters, the main protagonists of The Wotch; Anne, Robin and Jason/Sonja! Very fun doing them again. Simple pair and figured we might as well submit them together~ For the record, did inform the second of the commissioners who submitted this idea that someone had already asked for this idea and offered to cancel the order and refund their money. T...

Sore Loser (Two Generations!)

Heh. Yeah, we're coming up on the 25th Anniversary of the Gen 2 games, so it feels good to submit something celebrating those games. In this case the Dragon Gym Leader Clair throwing a massive hissy fit about having lost to you. Because you didn't win. I should clarify this isn't related to Pre-Champ; we're still going to be doing the occasional Pokemon picture that's unrelated to the comic and not in that continuity. I do often think about Clair's immature behavior in Gen 2 when I write her in...

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 13

Heh. We take a break last update and weirdly feels like forever since we've checked in on Candy. But fortunately she seems to be coping pretty well with her current situation. Good for her~ Yeah, very simple page moving on the story, hope you folks enjoy the storyline. ^^

Veronica Wins Again

Hey, a tie-in to the Dragon Quest 3 remake neither of us is interested in! Just happened to have a Veronica picture in-progress and figured hey, might as well rush it to completion for the occasion. Kind of a simple one but hopefully everyone enjoys.

Dirtybooks Commission - The Little Three

Heh. Like we said, the plan isn't for Erika comics to override regular bonus days so have this one! Kind of jumped the line on it a bit since our gender ratio in recent uploads has been a bit skewed, but do hope everyone enjoys. Kind of just some goofy DC fun, not a lot to it but hope everybody enjoys.

Erika's New Perfume Page 9

Soooo.... I guess we're just doing these as we finish them? These comics are really easy/quick to produce in between our proper webcomics so they get wrapped up in short order. The 9th isn't one of our usual update days, but we don't want ALL our updates to be Erika so we'll just slot her in-between updates whenever she's ready. She's a special girl so she gets to cut in line. ^_^ After certain major events occurring in the news, I was naturally feeling very depressed, and drawing Erika did a l...

Weirder Ending

Deltarune has always had a connection with Halloween, which has passed, and Noelle is of course associated with Christmas, which is coming.... So how better to celebrate the in-between-time than with a cute picture of the two of them going down a.... VERY bizarre Deltarune path? This was a gag where we had to do a couple of takes but very happy with the results. ^^ Kris is a really fun character to write "Dialog" for, and I love the gags with Noelle in both versions. Between how easily she's ma...

Daylight Filler - Procrastinating

Yeah, sorry for the filler but between everything going on in the real world right now and the work we had to put into the Erika stuff a full page kind of just wasn't happening. Even this was mostly born out of mixing pictures we already had done of these two as it was. Am pretty happy with how it came out at least, though Dinah might be a bit on the small size. Hard to gauge from that angle. Either way, yeah, do enjoy bouncing these two off each other like this, feels like we've not seen them ...

Erika's New Perfume COMIC PREMIERE! Pages 1-8!

Daylight will come on the forth. It been delayed. This is more important than the rising of the sun. Yeah, Erika is our biggest property and everybody loves it. ^^ She has a special place in both our hearts and with how much our artwork has changed and evolved and improved.... It's time to go back. We're making a big effort to make this comic more.... Silly and cartoony compared to our other works, really capture and emulate the feel of a Saturday Morning cartoon show. Heck, Erika even has thr...

Embracing Your Inner Baby

What's more Halloween-appropriate than a witch? This one's very hot off the presses - really did the entire thing in the span of the past two days, thus why we did a Sabrina update on DA and Pixiv before posting this instead of it being coordinated. Wanted to be sure to post something special to close out what we think has been an extremely strong month and we're super happy with how this one turned out. We've got at least one other Sabrina thing in-progress as well as something with Betty and V...

Interview at Croft Manor

Heheh... Yeah, the weird part is neither of us are big Tomb Raider fans? Martin's only dabbled in the franchise here and there and I've never even played a single one. But Lara Croft is a character where if you were there when she was big it didn't matter if you played her game or not, you knew a lot about her. This is the Anniversary of Tomb Raider and we kinda put a lot of thought into this shot just trying to make sure we got it right. Yeah, not a lot to say, but very pleased with the resul...

The Human Experience

Heheh. Yeah, this is a fun one.... We're very hyped about Season 5 of Lower Decks premiering in a few days and wanted to get something out, so this is something we put together for it. It actually came out so cute that I wound up kinda ticked I have to wait until Thursday to see the actual episode. ^_^ Wound up having a lot of fun with this one in a few different ways; Martin drew Tendi, including re-drawing her in vectors (where he added the Moopsy!) while I drew up a background. Background w...

Change the Princess

No clue how this one is going to go over, very different ground for us, but hey, it was a fun experiment. I kind of immediately fell in love with Slay the Princess when I first played it, to the point I'm completely planning to buy the Pristine Cut when it drops on Switch despite already having the game on Steam, and could very easily see how to pretty much do an entire padding-based path through the game if so desired. Don't know for sure if we'll do more of this or not but if the demand's ther...

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 13

Sorry for the delay on this one, kind of just wound up dragging feet on getting it colored. The script for this one came together a bit last minute but pretty happy with it, as we can see things starting to more settle in. Been a strange chapter that hasn't quite played out the way we've expected to but had to end up here eventually, hope everyone enjoys this and what's still to come.

Dirtybooks Commission - Heaven and Heck

Martin and I have been in a really big Erika mood lately, so thought it might be a good idea to post one of the pictures we have sitting with her. This one's a commission of her and her bully-turned-rival Carli visiting with Nurse Gull, the super-embarrassing gushing nurse. This was an early test for me in doing models; Martin had already experimented with wading thigh-deep into that and I think this was me gingerly stepping into the shallow end. Erika has an Angel motif that we like to play a...

No Excuse to Not Study

Heh, this one was rushed together pretty last-minute. We'd been kicking around doing a Sparking Zero and Daima tie-in and it was getting kind of crunch time, and eventually hit on this idea as kind of a quick and easy one that'd be fun to work with. We've had people asking if we planned to do anything for the occasion and with these two things likely to be the last projects in the series for a bit it felt like a good time for us to get something out. We actually also have a Dragon Quest picture...

Pre-Champ Page 4-1 (Nest)

Heheh... Now that Lance's goal of taking on regressed Gym Leader is established, it's time for him to battle his first opponent! And since he's from Johto, why not start close to home? I like checking up on what each person is doing since they were regressed, and apparently Falkner's dad Walker has returned to run the gym, and Falkner is happy just being a little boy with his dad taking care of him. Falkner talked about his dad a lot in the games, and much of his dialog is written so it's ambig...

Heheh.... Yeah, super cute, isn't it? Candy continues on her job helping to learn and understand her new job hanging out with babies. Absolutely love the way she looks chilling with her "peer group" on the floor. We've also been meaning to give Candy another mysterious injection; kinda something we needed to happen to keep things going on.

Early October Double Feature

What do Ranma 1/2 and Rain Code have in common? Virtually nothing except they both have new releases at the start of October! We happened to already have pictures in progress for both of them and would've run into issues with posting either at the start of next month what with Daylight, so we decided to cap this month off with bundling them together as a pair. This was originally going to be another entry in the Pokemon comic we've had going instead, but it needs a little more work and wouldn't...

Wisdom Through the Ages

Heh. This was a big undertaking that we've been playing close to the chest, Zelda! And also Zelda, Zelda, Zelda, Tetra, Zelda, and even Zelda! Yeah, this was a fun one, trying out the different styles and trying to fit in as many Zelda variants as we could, down to the background being based on the room the Zelda 2 incarnation is sleeping in. Tried to be pretty comprehensive, though we did leave out a few for assorted reasons. Post-timeskip OoT - Felt unnecessary between having the pre-timeski...

Babalities Are The Worst

Heheh... Yeah, THIS kinda exploded quickly out of nowhere. ^_^ Cassie came up on a list of characters and this idea floated to the top pretty quick that we got out. Like the Agatha thing from the last update, this was one of the things where we kept adding more and more to it to help make sure it popped as much as possible. Final finishing touch was Martin formatting it as a post; the picture was always gonna be a Selfie but last minute we back-and-forthed some bratty texts she could be accompa...

Anonymous Commission - The Powers That Won't Be

The original commission version of this didn't have dialog or a background or a witch, but... Well, we wanted to go a little above and beyond. As I said, all Non-Daylight Updates this month have been tie-ins and this was a bit of an odd man out since we weren't sure what to do as a tie-in. We considered Resident Evil as a very AWKWARD way of tying into Dead Rising, but.... Agatha All Along is also premiring on Disney Plus! Fun fact, Agatha Harkness was originally introduced in the Fantastic Fo...

Really, really tired as I type this but hope folks enjoy. Candy continues to embrace the unconventional training she's given at Perfect Child Daycare. Really love how cute those two kids came out in the last panel. I'm afraid the comic might get samey if we just have Candy and Danielle together, so hopefully some peers will help to spice things up.
