In Erwin’s last Ask I mentioned he was somewhat like Nanami, so I figured there wasn’t any better candidate for someone he could unwind with.
Month: January 2026
Lazarus was a series I enjoyed a lot, so when Christine was submitted for one Subscriber’s Vanguard tier reward, I was happy to do it. Axel from this same series won a First Shoot poll not to long ago (or, rather, tied with two other people). His actual debut is still quite a ways off, but he’s got a ticket to get into the Studio eventually. The other main members of Lazarus all have spots on my to-do list as well, so we’ll likely see the whole group eventually, even if it takes a bit.
There’s been a few attempts to get Evan King with the Holloways in one way or another, with both being fairly popular additions to my Spookyverse setting. While it’ll be January by the time this one goes public, for my Subscribers this is going to be the Halloween release, which I think is appropriate. I wasn’t planning necessarily to have a Halloween Dare for October, but I did like this one and so it worked out that way.
This is one where I think whatever I had to say about it shows up in the answer itself. Given how Gem bodies work (or at least my understanding of how they work) I’m not sure Jasper would get much benefit out of something like a gym the way flesh-and-blood types might. I thought her explaining as much would be a good opportunity to try drawing her again in a more straightforward pose.
So there’s probably more restaurant owners than I can think of in the Studio. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one other one, but when thinking about this Ask I was kinda drawn to bring back Himeka Manaka, the mother from PriPara who works as a chef at an Italian restaurant with her husband. Her husband isn’t in the Studio, but I liked the idea of her and Tiana’s restaurants being close enough to consider each other rivals. Now, for a few different reasons there wouldn’t be anything resembling a real rivalry there, it’s not like the real world where there’s a risk of going out of business or anything like that. But I figured it was a good excuse to bring back this character I haven’t drawn in ages, and give Tiana another left-field anime character she interacts with in the Studio.
