[The Grim Rustler]

If you challenge The Grim Rustler to a duel wild west style, and win, do you become immoral?

jouste responds:

that sounds super cool and probably what should happen.

[Gravehill - Chapter 08 - Page 16]

So i suppose that maybe they will accompany them to slay the witch? and that's the war they are planning to wage?

SeventhTower responds:

Yes and no! You're not far from the right answer though!

[Major Angel]

See that's why you go and hire a new fresh team of underpaid teen actors brimming with social relevancy for each new seaso...

I mean... that's why you need to recruit new generations of ring bearers, to keep the virtuous levels high and progressive, so that Major Angel can function in top form.

We are totally not trying to milk The Major Angel franchise I swear!

Please buy the new Major Angel action figures, comics, and T-Shirts.

jouste responds:

Hey yeah! That's a super cool angle for the story. great take!

[Henpeck the Chickenmage]

Wait, wait, wait, hold up! She coughs... her eggs? as in she actually ovulates from her mouth!?

That left bizarre town eons ago, this is a new weird. Let me read that again, nope, I read right, she coughs her eggs, and even uses them for magic, don't even want to think what kind of magic tho.

Oh man, it just hit me, Kazooie from Banjo-Kazooie suffers from the same medical condition, oh no... why did i realize that just now? I was so accustomed to her shooting eggs from her ass, I totally forgot she could shoot them from her mouth too, and now, NOW I just realize that you play that entire game with what is essentially weaponized menstruation!

However these eggs are on fire... so they are cooked too? magical fire at that, man the more I think about it, the weirder it gets.

I want to know less, but I fear I am already too deep.

jouste responds:

lol you really went all in! Yeah I kind of wanted her to be pretty strange if you thought to much about her.

[Starscrubber]

[Lion with Eagle Wings]

I was watching an isekai anime, and one of the characters summoned an animated statue of a winged lion, the anime made a big deal out of it, spend several minutes focused on the animal and all.

But for me, it was the most boring shit I have ever seen "I get it, it is a lion with wings, big deal, we have been seeing that for decades now, is just a glorified Pegasus at this point".

And then today you submit this piece, it is a lion with wings...

But holly shit man, it looks so damn different, the pressure, the intensity, the atmosphere it does so damn much to it, it reminds me why I like chimeras in the first place.

So thank you for reminding me that just because you have seen something plenty of times, seeing it again doesn't has to be a boring experience.

HappytoDraw responds:

Thanks man! Feels great that you could feel the ferocious nature I was aiming for.

[Batwing Bear]

- Quick climb the tree to escape!
- Wait it fucking flies!

jouste responds:

you bet! so terrifying!

[Cell and 21's Family (COMMISSION)]

Did Cell fuck and impregnated the wife of his creator? That's some next lvl NTR. Dr Gero out there taking more Ls than Yamcha.

Also reminder that Cell killed Cyborg 16, the very thing made explicitly to bring back Android 21's son, Gebo, so she is fucking the man that killed the one Cyborg she worked in personally, and who was made specifically out of grief in an attempt to bring back her son. That's some next level Stockholm syndrome.

There's so much wrong wit this ship that I don't even know where to start, the more I think about it the more nasty implications I find.

In a way he is even fucking his own mother too, so add first degree incest to it, this shit just keeps getting worse.

Anyway as for the picture itself regardless of thematic, it is a great drawing, it has an excellent use of light and shadowing, as well as color composition.

But I can't detach myself from the fetishes depicted here, so i have to take down some stars, however I think that would be unfair for the drawing itself.

But let it be known, this couple is a 0 out of 5, the level of wrongness here is over 9000.

squarerootofdestiny responds:

Ehh?

First off: I'm genuinely grateful that you understand that (A.) this picture is a COMMISSION--as in I was paid to draw it (hey I gotta afford FOOD somehow) and, (B.) that you've critiqued the art in a very kind way despite the subject matter bothering you. Not many folks know how to do that and I appreciate it.

However I do think the 'incest' thing is a bit of a stretch here. Feels more like an opinion over fact but, myb that's just me. It wasn't like 21 and Cell were ever raised together (like adopted siblings) nor even knew of each other save for their meeting in fighterz (a non-canon game). Heck, Cell doesn't even have 21's cells in him (as far as I know??) so are they even biologically ''siblings''? Technically if someone ships cell with goku would THAT be incest?? Since they DO actually share DNA???

Androids 17 and 18 were siblings before meeting Gero so for sure shipping them I DO consider incest. However if someone shipped 17 or 18 with 16, would THAT also be incest? Simply because Gero 'made' them? Gero also based 21 on his wife-- Is that EXTRA incest since by being her 'creator/father,' she's his daughter too?? I apologize if these questions are coming across as aggressive as that is NOT my intention. Just wanted to know what the 'standards' are here.

Oh yeah wait? Does 21 even know she was based on gero's wife? I feel like maybe 16 knew but did she? I can't remember if that was stated in the game. If it was, I don't really see how that'd be weird for her to be with Cell? The stockholm syndrome thing kind of confuses me as Cell hasn't kidnapped 21? He hasn't emotionally manipulated her? Made her empathize with him under duress?? In what way is this literal 'stockholm syndrome'????'

I for sure get why it'd be weird for 21 to be into cell romantically, after he killed 16 (someone she cared for) but I don't think you're using stockholm syndrome here correctly. Unless my definition of it is incomplete. Plus, neither you nor I know how the customer of this image ships cell/21-----please take your complaints with THEM, as again, I'm just the artist.

Additionally, let us both not forget that 21 is the ANTAGONIST in dragonball fighterz. She is CONFIRMED to be muuuuch more physically powerful than Cell, even in her 'good' form. Hell, goten and trunks UNfused could probably kick cell's butt. So I don't see how Cell is the one who'd be able to overpower her in ANY way should he ever be in a relationship with 21. Cell, as much as I enjoy his character, is WEAK at this point in DB 'canon' Lore. If we're talking about EMOTIONAL abuse, this is also ONLY an assumption as neither you nor I know how this relationship would go in '''canon'''. We're BOTH guessing but, my issue with your statements are that you imply them to be facts.

You don't even know if in this VERY picture I drew has 'good' 21 or 'evil' 21. Evil21 might be quite the match intellectually and menacingly for Cell. Would that make a difference?

Lastly, labelling a SFW image of my customer's headcanons as 'fetishes' seems a bit unfair. In no way is this a sexual picture or a kink (though I have drawn NSFW when commissioned).

Still, again, thank you for being able to judge the art by how I painted the image regardless of how you feel about the theme. I don't personally ship cell/21 but to ME it's not 'so wrong' that I would refuse it when commissioned. If I ever thought this was incest, then I wouldn't draw it, but again, that's my opinion.

[Mantor Mantisman]

I fucking love when portals are used like this, Janemba is one of my favorite DBZ villains for this reason.

This may be my favorite character concept you have done this far, the fact that he freed himself from a hive mind also adds a lot of flavor to it, hiveminds and mega colonies are another concept that I love, and to have them in space? at a galactic level? hell yes!

The only thing I would like even more is if he were more insectoid and less humanoid, man that would have killed me, maybe give him wings and retractable tibias for slashing damage, and extra legs to walk on walls and ceilings.

Not like he needs wings and more legs since he can use portals tho! i guess they would be just for looks and flavor.

Anyway i love this design it has a bunch of elements that i love, and you put them all together you damn genius.

jouste responds:

hey thanks a bunch!
those are really cool ideas. having a limp extract right from his forearm could be super cool as well as the wings. appreciate it!
