Yoruichi Shihouin Character Ask 1

Yoruichi’s a character who’s struggled to get in appearances since debuting in that pin-up a while back, but I figured I could use this Ask to not only bring her back into the spotlight, but also set up a little Studio lore for how she’s been spending her time. I’ve mentioned the Studio’s cat cafe, Catflix & Chill, before in a previous Ask (one featuring Yoruichi’s costars here, Power and Anzu). While the cats who appear there are mostly regular cats, I thought the idea of Yoruichi going there in cat form to get pampered and relax sounded like a cute idea that could tie this Ask together.

Beach Treat, Page 5

Here’s page five of Beach Treat! I don’t think there’s much I can say about this page right now, but I tried to keep the story moving in a reasonable direction with the scripts I had. It felt like some ideas were eager to jump to a point that didn’t feel natural to me from where we were, and I hope those Subscribers don’t get discourage that their ideas didn’t show up here. I’m not against them, but I don’t want to force them in just to move the comic in that direction. I think this page flows naturally from the last, and I’m curious to see where we go from here.

Studio Life Magazine 9 with Denji

Here’s the ninth Studio Life magazine cover. At the time that I invited nominations from Subscribers for this cover, I hadn’t done a male-focused one in a while (the commission with Gon hadn’t happened yet). So the theme this time was just male characters, and there was a variety of nominations. In the end I went with Denji, who’s a character with a pretty unique situation in the Studio who’s also made a lot of appearances, so I thought he’d make a good cover star.

Power Character Ask 5

I’d been thinking about doing something with Anzu and Power since Anzu’s debut, due to them both having their cats as a big part of their motivations in their respective series. I had a bit of fun exploring what their dynamic might be like here, and I hope it comes across well. I also like the idea of pet owners in the Studio having places they can go to socialize with their pets, including this cat café Anzu mentions here.
