This is a simple one, but I just kinda thought these two made sense as friendly acquaintances. I had this idea for their interaction I thought might be cute, so I hope y’all like it.
A couple days ago I shared Ty Lee’s pic for winning second place in our 1 Club-themed poll tournament on Discord. The first-place prize is a one-on-one pic between the winner and a Studio member of their choice, but it can’t be someone they’ve worked with before. Mirio has developed a bit of a reputation with some of the Studio furries, and Amy decided to cash in her victory to get herself some. Amy’s win came as a bit of a surprise to me, since furries have not historically done well in these polls, but people seemed to really want to see more of her. Luckily, she has another pic coming up soon, so if you’re a fan of hers look forward to that.
I don’t really have any love for SAO or Kirito, but I thought some folks might like a better shot of him than we had in his debut. I don’t really have much to say for this one, but I hope some of y’all will like it.
I know some people were interested in seeing a bit more of Mr. and Mrs. Park, and while this isn’t exactly how i pictured their first non-bio pic, I think it’s a fun one. Max is, of course, the same type of guy as Nanami in a lot of ways, so Faith arranged a fun little meat-up, I mean meet-up.
My original plan for this Scenario was for them to just be having some kind of dry business talk, but nothing I was coming up with sounded like real business talk and also just… didn’t click. I decided to find a different thing for them to talk about instead.
Of course there’s a couple Persona 5 characters in the Studio Futaba could’ve hypothetically picked, but I’m really not super confident in her dynamics with any of them in the game and wouldn’t want to risk a pairing that wouldn’t make sense for this question. When it comes to finding crossover partners, I’ll usually either go off vibes or just a character the Subscriber posting the Ask likes, but I don’t really know this Subscriber’s tastes super well, nor do I know much about Futaba’s vibe beyond her being a shut-in and good with computers. I did end up with this idea of a more outgoing character helping Futaba get out more, like a positive influence on her, and I ended up going with Makoto as she just kinda felt right to me.
It’s been a minute since I did one of these… Like with Chris’s, I decided to model Goh’s bunny outfit off a bunny he’s associated with.
I haven’t done an Ask for this Subscriber in a minute, I think, and I had an idea for how they might like to see this one answered. Killua’s not only a perfect fit for someone who could catch Tokiyuki, I think. As for his answer here, I’ll leave it ambiguous as to whether he’s actually worse at evading now that he’s in the Studio, or his pursuers are just more skilled, or he’s just not as motivated to escape in this situation.

So I had two separate Subscribers looking to get new appearances from some old timers in the Studio, and I thought it’d be fun to combine them. I really love doing weird crossovers like this, and for some reason this pairing just spoke to me. Both are kinda answering for themselves here, though, but I hope y’all won’t mind checking in. I was quite fond of both of these ladies when I was in high school, so it was fun to draw them again after so long.
This is the March 2025 One-Shot, as always written by one of my Subscribers. This is another script where each panel is kinda its own scene, I assume featuring characters this Subscriber wanted to see join the Studio. The first couple panels feature some characters I know some folks have been wanting to see, namely Hiei, Kurama, and the MAwS version of Jimmy Olsen. The latter two panels feature less-known characters, I think, Isami Ao and Lewis Smith from Brave Bang Bravern and Tamada, Dai and Yukinori from Blue Giant.

As some of you may remember, a while back I did an Ask for Jiro where she talked about wanting to start a band in the Studio with each member being from a different origin world. At the time, I actually had a line-up in mind, but none of the characters I wanted to use were in the Studio yet (excluding Jiro). One of those characters joined a while ago, and now through the One-Shots system Kim has as well. With all that being said, I figured this Ask would be fun to see, partly just to see Kim again, but also to further this story a bit. I hadn’t expected the full Sex Bob-Omb lineup to come in at the same time as Kim, but now that they are here she’ll have to split her drumming duties between her regular band and Jiro’s aspiring supergroup.
