Say what you want about Seiko’s stubbornness on this topic… when she’s right, she’s right.
For those who’re interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
I’m not sure if this Subscriber had anyone in mind when they asked this, but for my money I immediately thought of Kanamori. While she and Satsuki both have long dark hair, the real connection in my mind is more one of aura. Both are prone to dramatic poses and an intimidating presence; hopefully anyone who’s seen both of their shows will know what I’m talking about here.
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.
So I played this Ask a bit similar to the Himeno one I did recently, but with a focus on the reading club instead. There’s quite a few members of this club, but I picked two partners for Velma here that I’m fond of personally.
Charlotte debuted with Tiana back in 2010, and I have to assume their friendship is stronger than ever in the Studio. Nanami’s become a big part of Tiana’s life in the Studio in recent years, so it makes sense to me she’d have something going on with her two favorite blondes.
This is, I believe, only the fourth time I’ve drawn Rosalynne from my Applebridge OC setting. For those who don’t remember, Rosalynne is the mother of Terry Birch, and back in college she would frequently hook up with Mickie Cummins. I haven’t explored much with these characters in my content, but I did think it was high time to let them fuck on camera.
So I did an Ask a little while ago establishing Himeno and Akemi as drinking buddies. Even though they come from very different series, I think they’re fun to match together. For this one I added Lu, who’s also a fan of the sauce, and the Ask as a platform to establish another “club” in the Studio. I’ve been focusing on clubs as a concept a bit more behind the scenes, as I think it’s a fun way to bring characters together and show them living full, rich lives in the Studio. I have some stuff in the works involving this concept, but for now I think this is a good little intro to one of them.
I used Canute for the first Christmas party after his debut because I thought his royal cloak, which is red with a white fur trim, had a Christmas/Santa vibe to it. In that party he was shown sucking off Mark, as referenced in his answer. He didn’t appear in this most recent party, but I figured he could’ve had some fun with Denji. Denji’s grown a new appreciation for pretty guys lately with Haku and Zarbon, and Canute fits well into that.
We’ve seen these two together before, and I think some folks like them as a pair despite us not getting to see them interact canonically. I assume it mostly comes down to them both being long-haired pretty boys with colorful skin tones and nice thighs. I like them, too, and I figured with this Ask I could speculate a bit about how other members of the Frieza Force might’ve seen Zarbon back in the day.
So I think it’s pretty easy to imagine how having a suit of armor for a body would deny you many of the simple pleasures of life, but I figured Al could take a moment to talk about it a little himself. I do feel like he’s adapted pretty well to Studio life from what we’ve seen of him so far, and this unique situation he went through may have contributed to him being ready for a more hedonistic lifestyle like this.
