Character Asks

O.D. Character Ask 1

So this one is a bit different than usual, as no one actually asked O.D. a question. However, when I read it, I immediately thought of them. Maybe that’s just due to my own biases and internalized stereotypes or whatever, but it’s very easy to picture them in charge of something like beautifying the talent. Since they rarely make on-screen appearances I’m sure it gives them something to do, too. Anyway, I’m not sure what this Subscriber had in mind for how this question might be answered, but it gives me the opportunity to flesh out a little behind the scenes lore in the Studio.

Neito Monoma Character Ask 1

I don’t know if Bakugou’s beating the show-off allegations here. Neito relationship with the 1-A students feels like something that wouldn’t go away in the Studio to me. After all, here as well they’re still taking the spotlight far more than anyone from Neito’s class. I see his obsession with them as being a but more than just hatred, though, and we’re seeing a bit of that here.

Yuki Tsukumo Character Ask 1

For Yuki’s spotlight One-Shot, an element of the script I ended up not utilizing was a request for bi elements. I felt like it distracted from the focus on her, and I ended up just not doing it. I figured this Ask would be a good way to make good on that a bit, and I tried to use characters who wouldn’t have been out of place in that OS.

Rio Morales Character Ask 2

After Miles, of course the next partner I expected to see for both of these ladies is each other. They don’t have a lot of screentime together in the movies so far, but being the two most important ladies in Miles’ life makes you want to see them get along. I’ve seen a couple Asks here or there hinting at this pairing before, but things didn’t line up right to do it until now. So here’s a nice little scene with them, I hope y’all will enjoy.

9S Character Ask 1

So while I played Drakengard a bit as a kid, I’ve never played a NieR game so if I misunderstood something about their androids I apologize. This answer makes sense to me, though. Mostly I thought this Ask might be a good chance to pair 9S up with one specific big-dicked guy in the Studio who seems like an obvious crossover partner for him. I don’t know if I’ll draw more of these two again, but I have a pretty good idea of what Gojo might think of 9S, and I think they’re a fun little pairing.

Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

Tomo Aizawa Character Ask 4

Back closer to Anzu’s debut, I planned to do an Ask for her appearing with Tomo. I sketched out this for it, but for a few different reasons it ended up not happening and the question wasn’t re-submitted in later months. So, when looking at this question, I thought I could repurpose the sketch for Tomo’s answer. The bubble placement ended up a little weird, since I’d originally intended for Anzu to be the main speaker, but I’m still happy to finally get to put these two together. Tomo and Anzu are two of my favorite modern anime girls, and while they have pretty different interests they’re both pretty aggressive defenders of their friends in a way that makes me think they’d get along.

Kagura Character Ask 2

When Kagura is first introduced in Azumanga Daioh, she sees herself as a friendly rival to Sakaki. Sakaki’s naturally athletic and excels in all sports-related things, but doesn’t really care about sports and just likes thinking about cats and stuff. I think even by the end of the series this dynamic dies down quite a bit, though, with Kagura becoming more just part of the group and filling a role in the Knuckleheads group as touched on in previous Asks. So they’re not being too competitive here, but I hope everyone will be okay with that.
