Ersatzverse – The Maimuni Brothers

So this is the first pic in a concept I’ve been half-bouncing around in my head for a couple years now. For those not familiar with the term “ersatz”, it’s basically just a fancy word for a knockoff, which should hopefully explain why these characters look so familiar. I was inspired by some browser games I’ve seen where they use recolors/redesigns of popular characters to try and skirt copyright. Obviously copyrighted characters isn’t a huge concern for me, given the type of work I usually do, but for some reason I felt really drawn to the idea. So I’m trying to establish this new universe/setting for me to work in, called the Ersatzverse to just put a plain label on what it is upfront. I don’t know 100% how I’m going to actually use the characters in this setting, if I’m going to do comics, or just images with text similar to the Studio Tour pics, or do fics for my literature section… It’s possible I’ll do a little of all my options, since I don’t have one specific narrative that I want to focus on. For now, though, I’m planning to just release little pin-up pics of characters I want to introduce y’all to. I didn’t really want to do another “bio” series on top of Applebridge and the Spookyverse bios, so this will have to do.
So, let me introduce you to the Maimuni Brothers. On the left we have Holu Maimuni, the younger brother, while on the right is Molimo Maimuni, the older brother. These two are the leaders of a small group of desert bandits known as “The Feel-Good Bandits”. They don’t have any special powers like their more familiar counterparts, but are both skilled fighters. Despite how I drew them here (and I admit they turned out a bit more intense than I’d intended, but I kinda like it) the bandits aren’t proper villains or anything. They’re closer to Robin Hood type figures, I think, though they’re still notorious outlaws. They got their nickname through a habit of holding up wealthy caravans and not only taking the valuables, but ravaging any members of the caravan who caught their eye. Their sexual prowess being unmatched, their name is a direct reference to how their victims are left feeling after they escape.
The brothers have a sister, and her and her best friend will likely be the next pic I do for this setting. I don’t know for sure when that’ll be, I’m kind of anxious to get more characters out but I also don’t want to over-saturate my brand with them, so we’ll see. I imagine it won’t be too terribly long, though.

Caulifla Character Ask 1

So this Ask is referencing an older one Aunt Mito did. I don’t completely remember, but I assume my reasons for using Caulifla in that one were a bit arbitrary. She was most likely picked because 1) I knew she’d be recognizable even from behind and 2) I haven’t drawn her much and I know people like her. That second one was part of why I chose to answer this one, too. I think anyone who’s played the last update of my game will probably have had an experience a bit like what Caulifla describes. I don’t necessarily imagine these two having an especially deep relationship or anything, but casual sex friends doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility.

Roped Into This

So I’ve been revisiting The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. recently, and one character I really wanted to draw while the show was fresh with me was Shun Kaidou. We saw his mom and sister not long ago in the last MomSwap I did, but Shun himself is also pretty cute (as his his younger brother). Shun’s the type of character I just kinda want to draw being a slut for a bunch of different characters, but in this case I went with series protagonist Kusuo Saiki. Kusuo’s pretty asexual in the series, but he also has a bad habit of getting involved in situations he wants nothing to do with (his line in this picture being something he ends up saying with some regularity in the series). Shun’s whole gimmick is that he lives in a fantasy world, where he pretends to have secret powers contained by the bandages on his hands and is the target of a sinister cabal. Most of the early humor for his character comes from this, but I thought it’d be funny if he began incorporating ecchi tropes into his own internal logic. I feel like powering a superpower through cum like he talks about here is something I’ve seen a number of times in hentai doujins and the like. How exactly he managed to rope Kusuo into providing said cum I do not know, but here we are.

Sailor Moon Character Ask 1

I’m assuming most people are familiar with Sailor Moon and Goku as a pairing, whether it be through old works like Dragon Moon X or other similar stuff. The versions of characters I’m working with exist in their own continuity, though, so there’s no previous relationship between these two in the Studio or anything. However, it does seem like Serena/Usagi’s thinking about it, though. I guess we can consider this a tease, then, and maybe there’ll be an occasion to do something more with this pairing in the future.

Akimoto Yukie

One thing that Koikatsu makes easier to do than Artificial Academy did is to allow me to make characters beyond a bunch of students in a classroom. I can make teachers, family members, whomever alongside the main cast of characters. I decided to go ahead and do that with Yukie here, the mother of Kumiko. I don’t know how many of the characters I’ll add family to, I guess it’ll mostly depend on who I have ideas for, but I wanted Kumiko to have a single mother she lives with. The whole idea behind Kumiko’s character originally was to have a loli-type who enjoyed domming other girls bigger than her (mostly the passive and submissive Fujiwara Michiyo), and her mother here is meant to play into that. Yukie’s a sweet but simple mother, who loves her daughter very much but is also very lazy and passive. Hopefully some day I can release something with Kumiko’s bratty nature getting the better of her mother’s sweet one.

Studio Tour 8 – Ochaco/Mako

So this is a crossover pairing I wanted to do as soon as I was reminded of Mako back when I got a couple commissions for her… I almost did this pairing for the Ask where she ended up with Glimmer, but I’d already decided I wanted to do them for a Studio Tour entry instead. I just see a lot of parallels in their designs, both being brown-eyed, brown-haired, thicc girls with round, curvy designs and hairstyles. There’s actually at least two other characters currently in the Studio who also fit into this category with them (two that come immediately to mind, at any rate), so maybe I’ll try some other pairings out of that foursome of characters in the future. For now, though, I wanted to get out another Studio veteran/rookie type pic while Mako’s still fresh enough to the roster to be called a rookie.

Shimada Mamoru

This is Shimada Mamoru, the first boy in the Perverted School project. He started out just as my way of familiarizing myself with the Koikatsu character creator. As I was working on him, I decided I wanted to make someone a bit like Nagisa from Assassination Classroom, so I leaned a bit into his design. I thought the final result was pretty cute, though, so I decided to keep him and add him to the roster. Mamoru’s a quiet boy, but he’s sweet and kind to those who get to know him. He enjoys reading but not studying, and can often be found in the school library after classes are over.

Pearl’s POV

So I found a very talented voice actress uploading scenes to PornHub by the name of Lalalexxi. She does some good voice impressions, and one scene she recorded featuring Garnet and Pearl particularly got my attention. It’s titled “Double Trouble” (https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5e643c4c86897) and features a two-dicked Garnet fucking Pearl. There’s cute little edits of the show’s artwork that accompanies her voice acting, and one such shot was very similar to this pic. I wanted to take a stab at drawing a pic of the concept, rather than a screenshot edit with a censor bar to imply a cock, and this is what we got. I also decided to strip down Garnet since the “action” portion of this pic is so small. I had fun with this one, though, and I hope y’all like it.
