Matrona’s Studio Adventures #2 – Seven Days Later

This is the second half of that earlier Lord Tier commission. This time the commissioner wanted to see Matrona paired with Sadako Yamamura from the Ring franchise. Sadako’s a pretty big pop culture figure, to the point that there’s already two parody/ersatz versions of her in the Studio. Since this is technically meant to be a Mini Commission-type pic she’s mostly cropped out here, but I tried to make it clear who she was regardless. I decided to pose Matrona with her feet up, since I don’t think we’ve seen her feet much in the other pics I’ve done of her. It hasn’t really come up in Asks or the like yet, but characters like Matrona and Diane aren’t typically walking around the Studio at full size, since it’s not built to accomodate them that way. With access to things like Pym particles or whatever, it’s pretty simple to keep them human-sized unless they’re gonna be big for a shoot.

Koby Character Ask 1

I might’ve mentioned this when I first drew Koby as part of a Vanguard reward, but I only really know the first version of this character since I dropped out of One Piece before the time skip. I do know he and Luffy get to meet again at least once after that, but I don’t have a great idea of their dynamic or anything. I do imagine them getting along well in the Studio, though, especially without the societal divide pirates and the Navy have. I didn’t have much to add specifically to them working together, though, but I figured it be enough just to let them appear on camera together at least once.

Yuri Briar Character Ask 1

I think a lot of people enjoy seeing Yuri and Loid following some of Yuri’s reactions to Loid in the show. He ends up resembling his sister quite a bit with how much Loid makes him blush. For this Ask I thought we could touch on that pairing a little. I think it’s slightly hinted in Yuri’s answer here, but for anyone wonder, he hasn’t been able to bring himself to watch any of Yor’s work in the Studio since arriving (not that she’s done that much with Loid anyway).

Matrona’s Studio Adventures #1 – Subbing to Serie

So this is one-half of a Lord Tier commission. This is a new person on this tier who wants to see more of Matrona from The Seven Deadly Sins. They decided to slit their commission into two Mini Commission-level pics, with her paired with other characters they like and want to see in the Studio. We decided to label these pics like a series, since it seems they’ll want to do this again in six months when their next commission comes around.

This first pic pairs her with Serie, from Frieren. Serie’s an ancient elf who controls the top level magic users in her world. To my knowledge there’s no classic “giant” race in her world, so we decided to work that into some dialogue here for this scene.

Oliver Grayson’s First Dare

When I drew Oliver last time it was on commission, so the image was to the commissioner’s instructions. For this Dare I figured it’d be a good time to go more with the design I feel like Oliver would default to in the Studio, and in my opinion his most attractive look (assuming the show will continue to match the comic’s designs).
For his partner here, I went with Amber even though I don’t think he and she have interacted canonically. I wanted someone Mark’s familiar with, ’cause I thought the brotherly advice angle would be cute, but if I do Oliver with Eve or Debbie I’d prefer it to be in a different context. I also haven’t drawn Amber as much as I would like to, so this was a good excuse to use her again.

BooBies Calendar #12 – December

It feels a little weird to say this, but this is the final page of the BooBies Calendar project. I mentioned before that I just wanted to squeeze in a handful of designs that caught my eye, so here we have three. Since these are briefly-appearing background characters, like always I talked with my Discord server a bit and we settled on some fan names to use for these three. From left-to-right, this is Vicky Vega, Kiki Quasar and Amber Astra.
I first started this project in 2014. Of course it spent about nine years on the shelf, but even after bringing it back I ended up having a few long pauses between updates. I’m happy to finally wrap it up, however. We might still see some of these waitresses around in future works. Part of why we took the trouble to name the unnamed ones was to make that easier, so you might still see them show up in an Ask or something, or in anything I do where Studio characters are randomly-selected. I’ve also toyed with the idea of a BooBies update to the game at some point, though that would be several years off from now if it does happen. I’m really happy with this little side project, and I hope y’all have enjoyed it, too.

Haku Character Ask 1

I thought it’d be fun to do something with Haku again, but I didn’t really know who to pair him up with. After talking to someone else I decided to go with Yoinks, one of the characters from my NHS Fusions project you might remember. For Haku’s design here, I tried to go with something a bit different as a Studio-specific design, with his hair up but no ninja headband. For some reason I don’t picture him casually wearing his headband around the Studio the way Naruto has.

Inosuke Hashibira Character Ask 5

The thing about wrestling is, while strength can be an asset, it involves a lot of skill and technique. A lack of patience in learning even the fundamentals would probably keep Inosuke from ever joining the Studio’s Wrestling Club, but he’s always up for a challenge so he stopped by for a quick exhibition. It doesn’t seem like things went his way, though.
