Is there anything more cinematic and badass than doing a flying side kick with one of your friends? Probably not, especially when said friend is a taekwondo master.

Thanks to @krimabrawls.bsky.social for this awesome piece and @taryncrimson.bsky.social for joining me on it!
It's nice to train with a friend, especially when you get moments like this. I feel bad for the person holding the target pads, the heavy bag, and anything else in range of these flying kicks!

"Come on, brother! Smile for the cameras!"

"...you truly test my patience, Alaric."

"Ach, and yet you still love me!"

"...hmpf, unfortunately."

Meet Ssgt Alaric Schoen, the younger, much more joyful brother of Jasper!

Art by the awesome @JuliusB8 on Twitter!
Ssgt Alaric Schoen is a member of the GSG-9, Germany's premier counter-terrorist unit. Don't let his smile and jovial demeanor fool you. That merely hides the spirit of a deadly operative who would put his life on the line to protect his homeland from all threats, foreign and domestic. He prefers to be pointman, leading with either a riot shield or his beloved MP5 submachine gun. He carries with him the traditional Schoen spirit of perfection, but he sees himself as a team player who rises the tide for his unit. He still prefers to listen to dubstep and EDM at unbearable levels, much to the chagrin of his teammates and Jasper.

Biweekly, Dean and Neo look to truly test the boundaries of their skills by hiking to a reclusive waterfall and giving it everything they've got!

Art by @crassir.bsky.social featuring @aussieneon.bsky.social 's Neo!
Neo has to make up for his shorter frame with a jumping side kick to Dean's jaw! However, Dean's speed and height means that he's at least able to take Neo out of the air with a lightning-fast roundhouse kick! After the winner is decided, the two cats like to shed their gis and cool off by taking a nice, relaxing soak in the small natural pool at the base of the waterfall...

With summer coming to a close, cats gotta catch all the sun we can!

Shoutout to @tonydunkel.bsky.social for this awesome piece, starring @elleci42.bsky.social, @taryncrimson.bsky.social, and myself all vibing after some training!
After (literally) fighting with your friends down by the beach for hours, nothing beats a nice cool down session by the pool. Luke's lounging in the shade, Taryn's got an ice-cold drink in his hands, and Dean's perched on a table between the two with a Drumstick. Like a good friend of Dean's would say, sticks are unbelievable.

Just an average day in one of the SOMA's private sparring rooms!

Art by @gehirnlie, featuring @LViolet9's Leon, @SDSheppy's Hayato, and my friend MrsMan's Rago, Ruby, and Warren! (@'s above are their Twitter handles where applicable)

Thanks again for this amazing piece and taking part in it!
-Jasper attempts to teach Leon the elegance of true taekwondo with a high single leg pose and is enjoying the skill he possesses over the fox. -Hayato and Luka spar with swords (they are professionals) -Dean talks to his butler and near daily training partner Edward, although Dean seems a bit distracted by someone... -Brutus, Afi, Charlie, and Stella each go over their weekly training schedule and what rooms to reserve for each of the classes they teach, although Stella seems a bit distracted by someone... -Ruby and her prized student Warren flew up from Australia to train with the others for a bit. Ruby is testing her kangaroo student's powerful kicks despite her shorter stature and his powerful legs. -Rago has some sticky fingers with that sword. He better be careful...

Jasper Schoen likes to see himself as the pinnacle of taekwondo. His balance, leg strength, and flexibility are at such an elite level that he can hold this elegant pose with no issues for almost an hour!

Art by @tonydunkel.bsky.social, thanks again for this awesome comm!
Jasper has already been holding this pose for well over 25 minutes, all without a single wobble in his posture. Hard to believe he's closing in on 36 years old, huh?

Born and raised on a farm in Paraguay, Bastián Alejandro Matteo Fernandez works when the sun is up and trains Shotokan Karate when the sun is down. Don't ask him about his scar, though. He'll mumble something about a spoiled cheetah...

Art by @aussieneon.bsky.social, thanks again!
With a powerful front kick, Bastián can kick through near anything! That's what being farm-tough gets you!

National pride is important, and it's crucial to never forget your roots. Issac and Charlie may have moved from the land down under, but they're proud to rep Straya wherever they go!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE, OI OI OI! Issac on the left and Charlie on the right are always proud to rep the land down under!

In an effort to do more activities with his friends, Dean tried to get them all into his dojo for a crash course training day! Key word here, *tried*...

Art by @crassir.bsky.social featuring my best friends @groundis.bsky.social, @SDSheppy on Twitter, @mrmcstabson.bsky.social, and SpaceCat!
Dean attempting to lead the group in the most basic warm-up exercise: Touching your toes. This would have gone fine if not for Haskell's antlers not being shaved down recently, Scotty's comically horrible back, Diggie's bum knee from when he played JV football, and Rymden just clocking in for his shift at Nubby's Number Factory (number go up). Buckle up, Sensei Dean; you've got a long day ahead of you...

Nothing caps off a good day of sparring like cooling down with your toughest opponents and closest friends at the same time!

Awesome art by @aussieneon.bsky.social featuring his cool Brazilian karate yeen Royce!
Royce's massive height of 6'7" gives his kyokushin karate an immense edge, and Jasper's pinpoint accurate taekwondo kicks mean Dean needs to be fast and aggressive to shut down any possible attacks in a pure striking environment, as well as make sure his defense is up to par. Despite the smiles here, Royce and Jasper never give Dean an easy day on the mats, and that's just the way the cheetah likes it!

*Whoa, that's a sick car! Let's see what it can do...*

"It doesn't matter if it's in the dojo or on the blacktop; I'm winning this fight!"

Think you've got the skills to take on Dean and his yellow Ferrari 360 Spider? Good luck!

Art by @lolanderuwu.bsky.social, thanks again!
The fastest cheetah in all of Seraton Shores! That modified Ferrari 360 Spider is no joke, able to reach a top speed that is 40 mph faster than factory spec! And with someone like Dean behind the wheel, it's gone before you can even blink!

When Dean told Jasper he wanted him to personally help a good friend of his brush up on his taekwondo, the golden jackal was interested at first. Dean didn't mention that his friend was only a purple belt...

Jasper is currently wishing he could be teaching his skills to someone more "worthy" of his time. At least Lyoko is having a ton of fun!

A prequel comic to show just how those tag team titles changed hands. Nothing a good hot tag followed by a solid Meeting In The Middle can't solve!

Featuring @taryncrimson.bsky.social as my awesome tag team partner and @crassir.bsky.social for putting this whole comic together! Thanks again!

It might be past the holiday season, but it's good to finally get the Foxhole 2024 Christmas photo! A Discord server dedicated to Star Fox fanart and fanfiction, see if you can find your favorites!

Thanks again to @hanazawa on Twitter for this awesome yearly tradition!
There's over 90 Star Fox characters, OCs, and characters from other games in here! If you keep up with Star Fox fanart or fanfiction, some of these should look familiar to you!

"AND NEEEEEEWWWWW!!!"-
The only thing better than capturing some championship gold is capturing it with a friend!

Thanks to @aussieneon.bsky.social for the piece and @taryncrimson.bsky.social for being my tag team partner here!

Now, who wants to challenge us? 😈
Using Dean's jiu-jitsu knowledge in the realm of grappling and Taryn's decades of taekwondo mastery, the match itself was almost a formality. Dean would wear out their opponents with a variety of joint locks and holds, while Taryn would come in with some bone-shattering kicks to keep their opponents flat on their backs. That poor shark on his back was the victim of the duo's dual super kick finisher, taking a kick to the side of his jaw and the opposite side of his head at the same time. Meanwhile, the rat luchador is still seeing stars after a kick from Taryn rocked him so hard that he fell out of the ring from it. All hail the new tag team champs! All hail the new tag team champs!

Introducing the newest instructor of the SOMA, Afonso "Afi" Cobra Silva! An Amazon Boa who exclusively teaches BJJ, Afi can twist and tie you up in more ways than one!

Just in time for the Year of the Snake, thanks to my best friend @SDSheppy on Twitter for making this ref sheet! You rule!
Afi loves jiu-jitsu, Japanese History, and partying till the sun comes up! He rarely takes anything seriously and treats the world like one big playground, a playground he wants to stay on forever!

Time for some DnDean with the most electric chee in all the land! His kicks are quite shocking to say the least, and he'll certainly be a valuable asset to any party!

A gift from my good friend @aussieneon.bsky.social, thanks again!
Dean here can transmit quite a lot of juice from the tips of his fingers to the soles of his feet. After mastering this elemental ability alongside his martial arts, he's certainly a force to be reckoned with!

A snapshot of Dean after some late training at the SOMA! He's trying to cut some weight, so he stuffed a hoodie under his gi and got to work!

Thanks to @voidpathy.bsky.social for this amazing manga-style comm!
Dean is usually one for hugs, but with that much sweat coming from him, maybe keep your distance for now...

Lupe thought he could bend the rules when sparring with Sebastián. It did not go so well. At least he learned a valuable lesson... hopefully.

Thanks to @kokorotokoro.bsky.social for this awesome piece!
Rendell is slowly realizing that since Lupe is incapacitated, Sebastián will need a new sparring partner...
