A couple years ago, I got a bit of an itch and sketched a bunch of Canary/Zofia stuff. I don’t remember what exactly spawned the idea, maybe just that they’re both characters I’m fond of with pretty limited existing partner options. Regardless, I was thinking about maybe using those sketches for a Studio Tour pic or maybe a little one-off comic, but never really did. This question made me think of them, though, so I decided to go ahead and canonize the relationship. This isn’t one of those sketches, I did a new pic of them for this, but I might find an excuse to use them later if I want to explore this random crossover pairing a bit more.
We’ll be well into it by the time this post goes public, but for Subscribers this Ask is coming out right at the start of the Year of the Horse. It’s a bit of a meme in Attack on Titan that Jean has a horse face or even is a horse, but in the Studio there are much horseier folks around. Thirty-Thrity is a BraveStarr character I included in a pic many years ago, but this is his first time appearing fully on camera (it was mostly just his cock before). He’s giving Jean a horsey ride to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
I know production for this comic has slowed a bit, and I’m sorry for that. This match is one where I had a strong idea for how to start it, but for this stretch I have less of a specific idea for how things should go. Still, I’m enjoying these two together and I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the match.
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.
I very nearly did something similar to this for Yelena’s Ask a while back but went a different way, but I used this project as an excuse to go back to it. As for the dialogue, I think there’s a couple different possible interpretations for what Yelena could be referring to when comparing the Jaeger brothers, but I’ll leave it open.
So there’s been a couple times where Silas and Eren have ended up sharing screentime together. I was just kinda tickled by the idea of Silas answering how he does here, and Eren showing a bit of a different side as well. I’m not sure exactly what it is about these two that I think is cute, but I hope some of y’all will agree.
Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
In Erwin’s last Ask I mentioned he was somewhat like Nanami, so I figured there wasn’t any better candidate for someone he could unwind with.
So Hange and Ilse never got to meet in the actual canon of Attack on Titan, which is sort of the basis for this Ask. Hange finds and studies Ilse’s journal, which has valuable information on the only recorded instance of a titan talking, so I think it’s natural to assume she’d seek Ilse out for more info as soon as she heard she was in the Studio. Hange may not have to deal with titans in the Studio ever, but I doubt her fascination would die any with the separation.
