Subscriber Scenarios #18 – Take a Load Off

This Scenario is probably going to have less of a broad appeal, but it’s one I personally took a lot of interest in. This is one of the ideas I was considering last month, but since this Subscriber’s had a couple Scenarios I went with the Scooby one instead. This month I did go this way, as Maison Ikkoku’s an older anime I’m quite fond of. I’ve used it a bit in AMV work, and y’all have seen me draw Akemi Roppongi a few times by now. Kyoko Otonashi (center) and Hanae Ichinose (left) are both making their debuts in my work here, and I’m happy to have them. Kyoko’s the female lead of the series, and the manager of the building all the central characters live in. Hanae’s a mother and part of a trio (including Akemi) who frequently get drunk and party together. Both Hanae and Akemi have their own distinct relationship with Kyoko, but this sort of interaction doesn’t feel that far off for them.

BooBies Calendar #11 – November

It’s been a while since the last BooBies Calendar update (although not as long as the first gap, thankfully). This is mostly because the October lady, who we named Nova Nyx, was the main reason I started this project to begin with. Once I’d finally drawn her, I lost a lot of my momentum for the project. To top it off, most of the more memorable or standout designs (excluding ones that are beyond the realm of what I’d be interested in drawing) have appeared already. So there’s a handful of more generic attractive women left, and I was having trouble choosing who to use since they were all kinda equal in my eyes. I ended up grabbing five from the remaining waitresses to use for November and December, which is why there’s two girls this time. Like before, I conversed with my Discord some, and we came up with the fan names Andra Ray (blonde) and Vivi Nebula (purple hair) for these two.

Ryūko Matoi Character Ask 6

I’m not sure if this Subscriber had anyone in mind when they asked this, but for my money I immediately thought of Kanamori. While she and Satsuki both have long dark hair, the real connection in my mind is more one of aura. Both are prone to dramatic poses and an intimidating presence; hopefully anyone who’s seen both of their shows will know what I’m talking about here.

Mikasa Ackerman Character Ask 3

Mikasa and Ember are an interesting pair, as they have a sort of two-pronged path bringing them together. On the one hand, Mikasa’s partner Eren has worked multiple times with Ember’s partner Silas, including one foursome that involved both girls. Beyond that, Mikasa’s been exploring this goth arc recently, and while I don’t intend for it to be a main feature of her character in the Studio, it is a fun angle to revisit and one that fits well with Ember’s spooky Halloween roots.

Lost and Found Files – Kaito Ishimaru

Recently I had an idea to share some of my old unused OCs, and talk a bit about them and why they’re unused. Most of these characters will be women, but to start with I’m sharing Kaito here. So before I started Eromugen (2010 or so), an old comic I hope some of you remember, I was wanting to do an ongoing comic based on harem anime like Love Hina or Tenchi Muyo called Kaito. Tenchi was the main inspiration, with the plot being Kaito getting more and more hot alien girls moving in through contrived circumstances. I only got a couple pages into the project before falling out with it. This was back when I was trying to do multiple comic pages to release as a pack, an approach that always ended with me not finishing the pages. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to it, but the next character for this series will be Kaito’s girlfriend, and the one human girl from the project, and also the only other character I actually drew pages with back in the day.
