June 2021 Commissions

Another month has gone by and so have a new set of commissions! I think this month's batch was pretty interesting since I got a few from deviant art as well! Oh and the duplicate comics are larger and smaller versions in case any of them are having trouble loading for you guys!

This first one a very simple shipping of Momo and Jirou (apparently I've been spelling it "Jiro" like my heartless character XD)  from MHA. They share a very short and sweet moment. Lemme tell you that their facial expressions are a pain to work with sometimes (Not just because Momo's can be very stiff but also because all of Jirou's are in Japanese lol). Still a bit more flexible than my FF7R models though. I had to give the commissioner an extra few panels to make their idea work, but I'm wondering if I should ditch the 5 and 10 panel commissions and just make it 15. I think I'll keep it as those two commission tiers for now though since it'll be more affordable for most. 

Next up we have probably my favorite commission out of this batch. Once again there's story behind these two pieces and I couldn't decide which one to do so I chose both! (Though the one of the girls playing at the card table was made first). The basic story is that the girls are playing a game of triple triad (never played it myself) and Xion keeps betting clothes so that she will be able to beat Selphie who is a secret master at the game! I wanted to try using more advanced effects for this picture, but  sadly they just couldn't work in the environment the girls were in. Still, I think both pieces turned out pretty well!

Another picture commission this month by a new patron involving some quality bathing time between Kairi and May with their predecessors Aqua and Misty. Weirdly enough I think May is the only one whose name isn't related to water in some way lol. This was originally gonna be from a complete side angle with May and Kairi facing each other, but I think this angle works a lot better. I normally don't like to use this effect for kh models because it makes their "blockiness"/low-poly count stand out a bit more, but I always seem to revert back to doing it whenever I use Kairi and Aqua in something lol.

Second to last we have a quick sparring comic between Aqua and Lightning. Without spoiling too much of the future for Aqua's arc, this kind of scenario is definitely a possibility. I tried to make it seem like there were magical particle effects showing Aqua's clothes disappearing, but I couldn't figure out how to do that shot without slowing MMD down too much, so I only left 3 particles in that panel. This did make me realize I should show-off Lightning's underwear at some point lol.

Lastly we have another Aqua comic involving a very tardy Xion. I actually really like this concept and wish I had thought of it first lol. Once again I had to give extra panels to the commissioner, but I think it's fine since it wraps up the story pretty well.

That's all for the month of June guys! I wanna hurry and finish my latest projects so that I can show you guys, but it may be difficult as I'm (hopefully) gonna be starting my new job soon! It will mean less time to work on comics outside of my days off sadly, but it means more money for me to use for building my life together. Hope you all enjoyed pride month! I have something planned for it later down the line that you all might enjoy!
