So this One-Shot was based on a handful of different threesome pairings. I tried to go with a different dynamic for each one that I felt suited the characters. In the first panel, Pan gets its from both ends from her grandpa and great-uncle. In the second panel we have a reunion of the Elric brothers with Winry. I used their end-of-series designs here, rather than the default Studio looks for them. Then we have an unusual Super/GT crossover, Dr. Arinsu making her Studio debut alongside her brother Degesu and Majuub, who’s a different version of Uub I haven’t drawn before. The threesomes were all listed as two-against-one, with this one having the siblings against Majuub. I tried a couple different poses of them both bottoming to him, but ended up with something a bit vaguer I think. I hope that’ll be alright. Lastly we have Yuta making his Studio debut with the Zenin twins. I focused on him and Maki here, since there’s a stronger connection between them, but Mai’s not completely left out. I thought it’d be cute to see the sisters bonding a bit here, too.
Last year we started a new Halloween tradition of a highlight comic set in the Studio Halloween party. Like last year, our randomly-selected costume model, Space Beth, takes the center panel while we check in around the party with the rest. I know some characters who appear here may be hard to place, especially in the glory hole panel, and I imagine some will only be identifiable through the tags in the public post. I’m pretty happy with how this comic turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing some of the Studio residents enjoying the spooky season.
I thought I had my Halloween content for the year done, but rather late into the game I got the itch to make a new spooky lady. Carina here is a ghoul, and she’s adapting some old design ideas I never got around to using. I’ll eventually flesh her out more with a bio, I’m sure, but for now I hope she makes a good impression with y’all.
For a few years now it’s been tradition to do a Halloween pin-up just before the holiday. This is a parallel to the Studio Santa pin-ups I’ve been doing in December. Last year the winner was Arlene Wilcox, and I decided to instead do a little scene with her and her twin sister. This year was a similar situation, where Space Beth from Rick and Morty won. I decided to again include her other half, Earth Beth, and give them a cute couples costume I think works for them. I’m starting to think it might be better for the Halloween costume pics to be little scenes like this anyway, since not all Halloween costumes are spooky and just doing a costume is pretty normal in erotic work any time of year. We’ll see how I feel next year, and who wins the spot, but I might make this more the norm for this annual feature going forward.
On top of the new Spookyverse Bios, I wanted to do something with some new licensed spooky characters in the Studio. In past years I’ve done a Bravo girl or a cereal mascot, but this year I decided to work with some witches from Tom & Jerry. From left-to-right, the first is a character just called “The Witch” who dates back to a 1956 Tom & Jerry cartoon called “The Flying Sorceress.” My understanding is she reappears in later cartoons, too, but “The Flying Sorceress” is what I know her from, as I remember seeing it occasionally on Cartoon Network as a kid. She’s just your classic old crone witch, but I think she’s really cute and fun.
Next to her is the lady who got me started on this pic, a character I’ve been interested in drawing for quite some time but never did. She’s the Wicked Witch of the West, from the Wizard of Oz, but specifically here the version from the Tom and Jerry cartoon set in that world. This character is prone to glow ups in a lot of media, but I’m a fan of her appearance in the 1939 film as portrayed by the legendary Margaret Hamilton. This version’s closer to that, and I think she’s quite captivating in the cartoon. It doesn’t convey here due to the posing, but she’s portrayed as quite tall and intimidating, and I’d love to do something with her and Dorothy somewhere down the line.
The last two are just known as the Green Witch and the Blue Witch, and as you might can tell they’re basically just recolors of the original “Witch” I talked about earlier. They’re from a 2007 Tom and Jerry cartoon titled “Which Witch,” which is the name I ended up using for this pic. The cartoon, as I remember it, is basically just the two witches feuding, with Tom and Jerry getting caught up between them and having a few different spells cast on them as a result. While these ladies might feel a bit derivative of the purer Witch from the 50’s, I do think they’re cute in their own right, and I like their colors. I’d kind of like to do something with just the two of them eventually, but probably not any time soon.
So here’s my hag lineup. There may be other witches from Tom and Jerry cartoons not included here, there’s been decades of cartoons and I don’t pretend to be an expert. They’re the ones I’m familiar with, at least, and I think they’re probably the most iconic witches from this series. I know not everyone will appreciate a pic like this the way I do, but I really enjoyed working on this and I hope some of you will find these wicked ladies as charming as I do.
This is a Master Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers. Obiguro’s a minor character in Sakamoto Days who has a fight scene with Lu Shaotang with some cute chemistry between them. I’m a fan of this ship just from their limited time together, and hope they get more scenes together in the future. It was fun to draw them for this.
Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
While working on Kazuki’s limited appearance in my game, I got the itch to do something with him in his Sara outfit. This Ask obviously lends itself well to scratching that itch, and I hope y’all will enjoy it. This kinda builds off of Asks both these two have appeared in before, although I wonder if Kazuki knows that Zentitsu has his own history of crossdressing.
As much as I love Eda, her Ambition series has kinda fallen to the wayside amidst a sea of other projects. I still have plans for this series, though, and I’ll hopefully get back to more eventually. For now, I thought Eda might target a shoot with Kanamori, who was a real breakout star last year and will no doubt be showing up in a lot more stuff around here for a long time to come.
So here’s the other half of our ghost duo, Michiyo. Michiyo was envisioned as a Sadako-esque “Ringu”/”The Ring” type ghost. The idea behind pairing her with Yumi was that Yumi (as a snow maiden or yuki-onna type ghost) was tied to snow, while Michiyo was tied to television static, also called snow. I went back and forth on that when writing their bios, since I didn’t want Michiyo’s backstory to just be a copy/paste of Sadako’s. I don’t remember where I started with her connection to the ocean, but there was a point where I considered rebranding her as a ghost who’d rise out of still/reflective waters, including ice, and making that what she and Yuki met through. In the end I added this cursed tape idea to keep her original intent, even if it strengthens her ties to her inspiration. Regardless, I had fun drawing her here, and I hope y’all have enjoyed getting to know these gals a little better.
