Erika's New Perfume, Page 29

Heheh... Yeah, Erika is now ready to march out and get the much-needed Perfume instructions. Very minor page, kinda honestly probably could have just cut to her having left, but little moments like this can be a lot of fun to draw. So many cute little gags in this page, from Erika looking so confident in panel 2 to getting the run pulled from under her, to Sarah and Marie comparing heights, so Marie crashing out over that, to Sarah giving Erika that poke, just a really adorable page that was fu...

Knee High She-Ra

Heheh... Yeah, simple picture on She-Ra running afoul a fountain of Youth.... I mean, it's not that bizarre to think one exists here. Main fun here was doing Mermista's dialog. She just has a fun, snarky tone that was good to get out.

Hope to Grow

Hey, double dose of Kodaka in honor of the release of Shuten Order! Yeah, we actually kind of considered doing a big batch update of a bunch of different stuff of his - offhand there's also a finished Rain Code picture sitting and I was working on an Akudama Drive one - but it'd have been a scramble to get everything shaded and dialogued and the Danganronpa 15th anniversary is in November so we might just do that then. So instead we've just got this! Yeah, kind of just some goofy fun with these...

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 3

Funny, actually planned to post this on the 5th when Shuten Order comes out, but I ended up getting the whole thing finished in one day so just setting it up now. We've still got a proper tie-in planned as our update on the 4th so hey, enjoy the early upload on this one. With this, counting Eito being covered in page 0, this catches us up on the entire starting line-up of the SDU; there are a few others we'll trickle in a few pages from now, but did want to try and at least rush through establi...

Pre-Champ Page 6-3 (Mastermind)

So turns out Sabrina's a bit more competent than she let on! ... Even if still lacking in some areas. Yeah, this one was fun to do. Kind of curious to see how this performs in the first update of the month slot, now that we're no longer necessarily starting the month off with Daylight was kind of up in the air what we wanted to kick things off with and this felt like a good one since it's not been that long on Erika and Filing Error. Probably will also get a Balanced Defensive Line page up bef...

Comic of the Month Poll for September 2025

You can vote right here!

https://forms.gle/rRJTwWBJx4gNhs9w6

Hey, pretty much the same deal as last month, twelve more options to choose between! No guarantee that's actually the number we'll stick to month-to-month but probably stay in that same general ballpark, actually had a 13th sitting we decided to hold back on for the moment.

So yeah, same deal as last time - voting ends on the 8th, whatever gets the most votes we'll post the winning ...

Filing Error, Page 18

Heh. Yeah, was wanting to make a point of getting this up before the month's out. Got late enough I kind of wondered about saving it for the 1st but eh, wanted there to be two for August. So yeah, this was just kind of a dumb fun one, bit on the slapsticky side. Hope everyone enjoys.

Monthly Poll Comic- This Looks Like A Job For Supergirl

Sorry about the late submission, but remember that poll we did at the start of the month? My Adventures With Superman won. And just to show how much every vote matters, it won by a SINGLE vote! We have a big selection of new properties to vote on next month for everyone who wants to take part~ But first big thing to talk about for this script would be the shading. We wound up doing something radically different for the shading that was so, so, SO much faster and want to know what people think. ...

Strange Things on the Mountain

Hey, surprise bonus update! Yeah, there's a new Story of Seasons game out and it kind of snuck up on us so I rushed to completion this picture we've had sitting in progress for a long time to post as an extra. Probably going to wait to buy the game myself, but have been in the mood lately so might end up caving early, we'll have to see I guess. Shuten Order being out next week kind of complicates things. As an aside, bit late in the month but plan is to get both the comic poll winner and the ne...

Erika's New Perfume, Page 28

Heh. Yeah, just a quick comic addressing that issue so that Erika can head on after that incident a few pages ago. Simple but has a lot of cute images I just wanted to show off. In particular really dig how confident and ready-for-action Erika is in the first panel, like she wants to go and fight evil. That and how she immediately clicks to thanking her little sister in the most sugary way possible immediately after that. In general been digging showing off Erika and Sarah's relationship. It'...

Narrowing The Gap

This is why organization and consensus is important. We are stronger together than we are apart. Even if the person you're together with is yourself. This is a long delayed sequel to this picture.... https://www.deviantart.com/lance-the-young/art/New-Employee-Policies-1046907830 Kinda had been wanting to do this sequel since we put dialog on that first one. The gag with Hitomi is that she's put-upon and overworked and constantly stressed.... but as time goes on realizes that because she does s...

Yuki Hits the Road

Heh, Chio's School Road is always a fun property for us to hit and this was a good mix-up compared to the sorts of stuff we typically do with it. Were unsure if this needed dialogue or not since it is kind of based on a very specific aspect of the show, but we ultimately decided even without context the visual was funny enough to carry it.

Annakatan Commission - Only One Truth

This one is way jumping the line but they're putting up a new batch of Conan episodes today and we're definitely going to be doing a lot more of the series in the near future so felt like a good time to post this as a bonus update! Yeah, unlike that last picture we did this one we tried out imitating the art style, think it worked out pretty well.

Rotten Luck

Hey, a Shantae Advance tie-in! Yeah, we don't hit Shantae super often (though we have at least one more sitting) but it generally does pretty decently when we do and we've been sitting on this one for awhile, so felt like a fun one to release for the occasion. Did two versions pretty much just due to wanting to do Rotty's human form as well, it looks fun. Did consider also rushing out a Fillin the Blank version as well, but kind of just never got around to it.

Pre-Champ Page 6-2 (Mastermind)

Well, every OTHER comic got an update so why not this one? Yeah, like we said, me and Martin really love our dum-dums, so it made since for the next Gym Leader our hero to encounter be Sabrina. That was settled on for a while and the filler showing Sabrina's regression was some last-minute foreshadowing to where we were going next. For those who don't know, Sabrina's stance as Gym Leader for Saffron City was in competition with the Karate Master Koichi who wanted to open a fighting-type Gym. S...

Daylight Filler - Dinah & June, Part 3

Heh, yeah, this was a pretty fun one to do, kind of making a point of having some fun with the whole streaming dynamic. With this we'll be caught up on Daylight on DA and Pixiv so won't necessarily be doing the 1st and 16th as update days from now on, but we're still going to aim for about the same amount of output. Do hope everyone enjoys.

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 2

Heh, quick update on this one, huh? Yeah, the outline for this had already been done for a bit - since as mentioned the previous page was cut down to a fraction of its original size - and I'm kind of eager to get to when we actually get into the meat of things with this story, so I wanted to rush out page 2 pretty quick. Might try and do one or two more before the month's out just since I want to keep up the pace on these but either way. Think as of this one I'm going to start also putting up ...

Filing Error, Page 17

Heh, been wanting to get out another one of these for a bit so rushed this out, wanting to also try and do another Hundred Line page soon. Naturally the last page left things off on a rather... awkward note that neither of our heroes is super in a hurry to figure out how to handle. Tried to put some special care into the art on this one to try to make it look a bit more on-model with the comic. Ash's hair had kind of drifted away from the original design a bit and felt like Emily was consistent...

Dirtybooks Commission - Back To Twoson

Heheh... Yeah, always fun to re-visit Ness and Paula. The pair are just a naturally fun duo to see and love playing with the idea of Paula's parents running a preschool.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 27

Heh... Yeah, now that her brain has caught back up and get an idea of how to settle things, there's a way forward. She just needs to find Hummerbee and reverse the deal! Simple! It was cute hammering in a few really indignant moments with Marie to make her see the loss in status. Very satisfying after having her as such a bully earlier. Wasn't prepared for just how cute it came out, especially with Erika hugging her out of nowhere.

The Real Or Unreal Me

Okay, yeah, this probably isn't the character EVERYBODY was expecting from this fandom but definitely love just how cute this came out. For the record, there IS more Deltarune padded content coming. Undertale too, come to think of it... It's weird in that Deltarune has so superseded the predecessor in my mind, both in the sheer emotional weight and cuteness potential. Eh, both are good, hope everybody enjoys this little pic~

A Thing Friends Do

Okay, so every picture we've done of Owl House has been a GIGANTIC hit, so let's test that out a bit. So far we've only done Amity and Luz, what result do we get with other characters? Here we see Collector and King, but we do have another picture in the wings with a different curveball... In the meantime, hope everybody enjoys this little diddy. Absolutely love the detail Martin got on the shading, with the light and shadow nicely capturing the energy of Collector's adorable bedroom.

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 1

Funny enough this was as originally written only actually like a quarter of the first page; initially planned to introduce the entire starting lineup of the SDU in one page, but ultimately I decided pretty last minute to reconfigure it into several smaller pages instead on the basis that I preferred the idea of smaller but more frequent updates over large pages that'll take forever to get out. Helps that doing that also helped to make more room for the dialogue and the Shinigami blurbs. So yeah...

Lessons With Anya

First off, if you haven't be sure to vote in our comic of the month poll! It's pretty neck-and-neck at the moment between several options, still very much anyone's ballgame. You can find info on that here - https://lance-the-young.fanbox.cc/posts/10329857 This one's been sitting for a long time, kind of weighed several options for us to post as our first non-Daylight update of the month before landing on it. Am pretty happy with this one, some dumb goofy fun and Yor always makes for a fun subj...

Comic of the Month Poll for August 2025

Hey, like we said on the Trixie comic - our most successful upload on Fanbox to date incidentally, thanks to everyone for the support on that - we're going to start doing early month votes for end of the month comics!

The exact process on how we go about this might shift a bit in future months as we kind of figure out what works and what doesn't, but for now, we're going to list out 12 series that we have scripts for one-off comics sitting finished for and everyone who's a su...

Daylight Filler - Dinah & June, Part 2

Heh. What's something light that we can do for a webcam story involving these two? Dinah getting cleaned up, of course~ It's a good way of doing some cat-related stuff with her, and I like the way this landed.

Pre-Champ Page 6-1 (Mastermind)

ONE MORE BEFORE WE GET TO AUGUST! Lance continues on challenging other regressed trainers like... Uhh.... Oh, dear. Yeah, one issue with this series is it's REALLY hard to work in all the names people want, so wanted to just do a few quick gags showing that a few of the names Lance plans to battle against are either too old or too young. I know Bugsy and Whitney were gym leaders people had been asking about so wanted to quickly address what the deal was for each of them. Bugsy was already pret...

Comic of the Month 1 - The Nature of Live Performance

Hey, so new thing we're trying out! Wanting to start doing quick and easy bonus comics at the very end of the month, with polls at the start of the month to determine what exactly they'll be - the gap gives us a few weeks to get our ducks in a row on it, handle the art, all that. Wanting to start that next month but it's best to kick this off with an initial comic to give an idea of what to expect and hey, Trixie delivers! Funny enough we actually had several short, random comics sitting drawn ...

Filing Error, Page 16

Heh, this one was fun to do. Kind of feel guilty about it being so long since the last one of these but at least managed to get out two of these this month, hoping the next one will have a quicker turnaround. Kind of particularly like how the last panel came out, hope everyone enjoys.

Powerless

Yeah, here's the other tie-in we're posting today~ Kinda just saw Fantastic Four yesterday and the movie is good. Cast was incredible and definitely sold the family element, and it's a big relief to get at least ONE good movie with this series. It definitely could've been better; it was still an MCU movie so it had a very strict formula where you could easily see each emotional beat from a mile away. Either way, came out of it wanting to draw Franklin more, and we had this picture laying arou...
