Canute Character Ask 7

So, at first for this one I thought it’d be really fun to show Canute in a costume here and then have him wearing it somewhere in the party montage. I really was struggling with getting an idea I liked, though, partly because I don’t actually know Canute that well and partly because I had other drama going on at the same time that made it hard to brainstorm. While I was thinking, though, I felt like Canute might enjoy giving some voice to others for this. A big part of his Studio journey has been embracing not being in control as much, and maybe he’d enjoy letting y’all suggest a costume for him. I think that also gives a bit more room for him to wear something he might not have thought up for himself. Obviously this will only be an interactive element for Subscribers, since the Halloween party will be finished long before this Ask goes public, but I’ll choose a fitting idea from the comments of this Ask and try to work Canute wearing it into the party somewhere. Like he hinted here, doubles costumes can work too if the idea’s good. I think this is the first time I’ve done an Ask with an interactive element to it like this, but I hope it goes over well and is fun for y’all. In this case it does kinda mean a boring image of just Canute standing around naked, but I think the eventual pay-off and knowing he’s wearing something one of y’all suggested will make it worth it.

Blinky the Clown Character Ask 1

Blinky and Clyde get semi-regular Asks submitted for them, and a lot more this month after it became clear I was focusing on a few Halloween Asks. Unfortunately, both of them are a bit tricky to do much with in Asks. You see, when I make Spookyverse characters, I often think about how they’d work if they were in a legitimate horror movie (or the like). For the Punchinello Pranksters, this means they have a bit of a group dynamic. Inky and Pinky are kinda the faces of the group, the ones with more personality who get all the dialogue. Clyde is more of the silent, creepy supporting character, while Blinky’s the one who mostly communicates through laughing. Of course, those aren’t hard rules and I could break them at any time, but since they haven’t shown up much I haven’t had much opportunity to convey these elements of their characters. This Ask was convenient because it’s focused a lot more on Kazuma’s reaction, something he does well in his own role in his show. Having an over-the-top reaction to some trouble he got into due to the proclivities of Darkness is just as much on-brand for him as laughing at nothing is for Blinky.

First Shoot #31 – Heles

So here’s another First Shoot! This is the second of a trio that tied, so there’s one more left and then I’ll be pausing this series for the foreseeable future. Heles is the kind of character who feels made for people in my profession to make use of, but I also just didn’t really have any ideas for her. That’s why she ended up in a FS poll to begin with, and once she one her random partner was Daria. I drew Daria for WWOTM a millennia ago, but I think she’s a somewhat comedic counterpoint to Heles’s personality.

Silas Holloway Character Ask 3

Here’s another spooky Halloween Ask that my Subscribers got a few months early. I don’t know if Silas has a “slutty” side, but I feel like it’d be more accurate to say he doesn’t have the cultural stigmas and societal concepts one would need to develop such a thing. I didn’t really feel like it mattered who topped him in that sense, and just kinda let a random guy fuck him since I felt like that’s mostly what people would want to see from an Ask like this.

Lydia Deetz Character Ask 1

So for all my Subscribers, this current batch of Asks are coming out in August. However, it’ll be October by the time they go public, so I’ve sed aside a couple “spooky” ones I thought might be fun. This one’s pretty straightforward, but I thought it’d be fun to see Lydia again after her MomSwap, and I always enjoy an excuse to have Yumi and Michiyo work together.

Near Pokédex M009 – Blastoise

I decided to go back to the Gen 1 starters for this Near Pokédex M entry. This finally wraps up Squirtle’s evolution line on both sides of the ‘dex. For the female Blastoise I went more along the BBW route, leaning more into a big and soft body type. For the male side I went more muscular, which is probably more accurate for the original design’s philosophy anyway.

Ken Takakura Character Ask 2

I don’t know if I see Okarun as someone who specifically goes after aliens the way someone like Dandy does. Obviously his obsession with them is a major part of his character in Dandadan, but I’m not sure how much I see that interest turning into a fetish or whatever (especially considering the majority of interactions he ends up having with aliens throughout the series). I did think it’d be kinda funny to turn that on its head a bit, though, and have an alien eyeing him. I thought one of the bigger, rougher types topping him would be fun and kinda match his energy, so I paired him with a DBZ alien who hasn’t gotten much screentime. This also gives him a little extra something in common with Momo, for anyone who remembers one of her old Asks.

Swimming Club: Nessa

My Subscribers voted for the Swimming Club to get their next card. This is a fairly well-established club in the Studio, but this was a good chance to go a bit more in-depth with their activities. Like always, the member who got the card was randomly selected, but I think Nessa has a lot of fans and I haven’t drawn her often. She comes from after I dropped out of Pokémon, so I don’t know her super well, but here she is posing at the pool.
