Say what you want about Seiko’s stubbornness on this topic… when she’s right, she’s right.
For those who’re interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
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.
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.
This is a Master Mini Commission, the last one done for 2025. This one simply wanted to see Eren, Yuji and Denji shoot together, so here that is. I was a little unsatisfied with the view of my initial sketch, so I added a quick undercarriage view so y’all can see the action a bit better.
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.
A close call on page twenty-six.
So I played this Ask a bit similar to the Himeno one I did recently, but with a focus on the reading club instead. There’s quite a few members of this club, but I picked two partners for Velma here that I’m fond of personally.
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.
Charlotte debuted with Tiana back in 2010, and I have to assume their friendship is stronger than ever in the Studio. Nanami’s become a big part of Tiana’s life in the Studio in recent years, so it makes sense to me she’d have something going on with her two favorite blondes.
Here’s a little Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers, featuring Xingqiu from Genshin Impact. I don’t really know anything about this character, but this is a popular angle I don’t mind returning to.
