Saika’s response here is kinda my own reaction to his debut pic. While he is cute, I didn’t expect him to be as warmly received immediately as he was, but it seems like he may have some staying power. For his partner, I wanted to go with someone I haven’t drawn as much, and while looking through the guys who fit that description, Roy stood out to me. I was hoping to find someone who could play into the “warm” part of warm reception (and there were a few candidates), and in Smash I always see Roy associated with fire and flames. I also like that, when their faces are close together like this, if you squint they almost look like Todoroki.
Since there’d been some buzz for Fairy Tail ladies, I decided to include Erza in this First Shoot poll, and she ended up taking it. I never got into Fairy Tail, but as an outsider she seemed to be to be a fan favorite. I feel like most of the body pillows and figurines I saw for the show at cons were of her, so I hope people will enjoy seeing her here. In looking into her more, I realized she actually usually has her hair down, but I’ve always pictured her in a ponytail. I decided to have it both ways by letting her hair down in the second panel. I saw there was also info about her being interested in dirty magazines and the like according to the FT Wiki, so I figured she’d be all-in for joining the Studio. Misty was a fun surprise as her random first partner.
Here’s the seventh and final page of Pajama Party Pussy, the SubscribeStar Ongoing comic in our “yuri” spot. I ended up taking a few more creative liberties with the submitted scripts for this one than usual, hopefully everyone can forgive me. With this slumber party now wrapped up, you can expect a new yuri comic to take its place in a few months.

Here’s another commission a fan had done of my character Misia, this time in motion! I’m always really impressed by animators, since it’s a skill I haven’t been able to pick up. Hope you all enjoy!
Here’s the One-Shot comic for February 2023, using a script submitted by one of my Subscribers per usual. The idea here was framed as an inter-school competition of some sort between U.A. and Jujutsu Tech, though I don’t know if these scenes depict the contests themselves or just the participants having fun on their own during the event. Either way, there’s a lot of popular characters here, so I hope y’all will enjoy seeing them interact here.
I know I’ve done it before, but I’m always a little hesitant to, uh… “canonize” lewdness within the original franchises. Like, I’d be fine with drawing Biscuit and Gon having fun together during this period, but for some reason having her say they did feels more like projecting a rewrite onto the source material… I dunno, it’s complicated, but I figured there’d be no reason why we couldn’t see them hooking up more in the Studio.
This Master Mini Commission sought to show off the ass and feet of three characters from the Final Fantasy VII remake, including the younger teen Cloud. I don’t know much about these characters, but rather than create a scene I decided to mirror past commissions I’ve done for this Subscriber with the abstract background/floating sticker approach.
Also, for those interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
Sometimes, when it comes to a crossover pairing, I like to indulge in them just because of how well the characters fit together. This was the case in the last Ask I did. Other times, however, the nonsense of the crossover is fun to play with. That’s the case here. These characters are connected only through the NHML raffle. I mentioned before, I believe, that in the Studio the previous NHML winners will hold a monthly celebration for that month’s winner joining their little club. Not every NHML winner attends every party, but it seems Vados made it out to Chastity’s. I’m mostly just happy to see Chastity getting some attention, since I doubt many people knew who she was when she won the November drawing. Also, it’s just nice to see more of Vados.
Evan King is the monster hunter character I introduced in my last Halloween pic, an aspiring Van Helsing-type who seems to always end up becoming the plaything of the monsters he hunts. Loona’s kind of a natural pairing for him, and I haven’t drawn her much at all outside of one commission where she’s mostly hidden. I dunno why, but I thought the idea of Loona toying with him with her feet was particularly funny, like an absurd way to end up helpless, but I hope y’all will enjoy getting to see a bit more of her as well as our first look at Evan without his hooded jacket.
