Joy Character Ask 1

So Joy isn’t able to get into the specifics here, but I figured I might just in case anyone was interested. So the emotions in Riley’s head are, of course, metaphorical. Like, I don’t think if you put her in an X-ray you’d see the command center and everything in there. So, to bring Joy into the Studio, she was brought in separately as a character, which is also why the other emotions aren’t in the Studio. Then, for her brief appearance in Sleepover Raid, she was set up in a set made to resemble the inside of Riley’s head from the film. This means that, within the Studio canon, Joy can act freely and interact with other characters, including Riley. I’m sure Studio Joy wouldn’t waste much time in doting on Riley, and I tried to make it clear they have an ongoing dynamic where Joy embarrasses Riley in one way or another.

I’m hoping to do a little more Inside Out stuff sometime in the future. Riley has a new, slightly older design in that movie, plus I’ve never gotten around to her MomSwap (although that one will probably use the first movie’s designs). I have some sketches of Sadness I’m thinking of dusting off, plus I’m interested in maybe doing something with Riley and Val from the second film. No clue how much of that will end up seeing the light of day, but this Ask is me exploring going back to this franchise a little eventually.

Marquess and Yung

I want to do more Yung Hee stuff, and one character I see her paired with often is the Marquess of Queensberry (who they just call Marcus). He’s a ghost and very obviously gay, but I guess she gets paired with him on account of him not being a pigeon or boxing legend Mike Tyson (also, spoilers, the only main character who isn’t her dad). I figured it’d be nice to touch on the pairing at least once, although I don’t plan to return to it or anything.

First Shoot #24 – Nolan Grayson

Our most recent First Shoot poll featured another three-way tie. The first of the three characters who tied is Nolan Grayson, better known as Omni-Man from Invincible. I’m not personally a huge fan of him, but I see the appeal for others and decided to include him in the poll. His tie here coincides with a number of other Invincible things that have already come through, marking something of a resurgence for a show I haven’t watched in a while. Omni-Man’s randomized partner for this shoot is Cell, and I had a pretty easy time working out their dynamic.

Corey Park Character Ask 10

I feel like this is a pretty straightforward and obvious pairing that I probably would’ve already done by now if I hadn’t fallen off Corey content somewhat. I do think the dynamic here is a bit different due to the nature of the Ask, maybe usually Corey’d be a bit rougher with someone like Tremaine, but I like this pose. There’s something about how Tremaine seems like the kind of woman to keep her heels on during sex that makes seeing here feet feel more scandalous than just seeing her naked.

Utena Hiiragi Character Ask 1

Utena seems pretty particular about her BDSM tastes, to me. Within the show we even see her actively not enjoy a situation when the person on the other end didn’t fit her type. Darkness might be a bit too… into it for her? But I think they could find a good balance since Darkness is so resistant to admitting how much she likes being violated. Utena also would probably prefer playing with magical girls, while Darkness is more of a noble knight, but I wanted to pair these two at least once.
