Although Asta established a connection with Inosuke in his last Ask, I don’t really picture Inosuke getting his bod from a gym. I do picture that quite easily for Obi, though, who Asta has worked with before. I figured he’d be a natural workout butt for Asta, and I thought they could try out a bit of an adventurous pose to really stretch and work those muscles.
So we’ve occasionally done these sorts of Asks, where the premise is built on two characters bearing a resemblance. Once of the points of comparison for Ed and Link, the prosthetic arms, isn’t really present in the Studio, but they’ve still got the blonde ponytail thing going on. I don’t think they’re quite close enough to warrant confusion, though, but I did think the idea of them being seen as a good pairing for a bigger top sounded fun. I actually had something I was toying with for a bit featuring these three characters specifically, and I thought this Ask would be a fun way to test the waters and see if y’all like this dynamic or would want to see more of them.
Of the three Eizouken girls, Tsubame’s the only one I expect to see make an appearance in this series. Kanamori’s mom doesn’t show up (I thought we did see her once from a distance, but it turns out that was her older sister), and I think we only really see Midori’s in the past, so there’s not really a modern design of her to use.
Tsubame’s on the other hand, plays a large role in the climax of the school festival arc, with both her and her husband seeing Tsubame’s animation for the first time. She’s a famous actress in the world of the show, and she seems like a pretty good mom (albeit one who’s too busy/distracted with work to spend much time with her daughter usually). At least she can make time for her here.
Kind of a simple little Ask here with maybe an obvious joke, but I feel like it’s been a minute since we’ve seen either of these two and I thought they’d pair well together.
So Corey and Loren don’t really have much in common. Even within the Applebridge canon they’re removed by the tax brackets of their parents, plus Corey’s like three or four years older than Loren. Still, I thought there could be some fun in highlighting how different they are, especially since Corey recently made acquaintances with someone who’s way more Loren’s type. As for Corey’s partner here, I couldn’t think of anyone tied to Loren who would fit (unfortunately Loren doesn’t have a grandma or anything who’s been introduced), so I instead partnered him with someone I’ve meant to pair him with for a while but never had a good chance to.
For our second “Damsel” ClashMe profile, Subscribers voted for Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. In the Studio, Jasmine’s gotten a bit into exploring a safe version of what would otherwise have been a traumatic experience. The ClashMe app is a useful way for her to find partners for it. You can view this profile as a bit of a preview for her DVD cover, too, whenever that comes around.
Here is the One-Shot for November 2025, featuring a handful of different pairings/groupings, including a few of my OCs. Our first panel features Rocket Raccoon and Emma Frost from Marvel Rivals, and while I’m quite familiar with both in comics I know nothing about this game. Second panel is two of my Applebridge characters, Marko Laine and Casey Buckner. The third panel features Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In from Solo Leveling, and the final panel sees a reunion of Applebridge’s Max and Faith Park with Jujutsu Kaisen’s Kento Nanami.
A pretty simple Ask here, but one I thought would be fun and make use of some characters I don’t draw all that often. Francine’s kink for being spanked had its own whole episode dedicated to it, as I recall, so it makes sense to me she’d explore it more in a setting like the Near Hentai Studio. Its been a minute since I’ve done a split/paneled Ask like this, but I wanted to show her making this expression similar to what she does in the episode while also showing the inverse angle. For her partner I briefly considered pairing her with Lois again, but decided instead to pair her with a different blonde adult animated series mom with the surname Smith. Maybe it’s just from doing Halloween stuff with her recently, but I think Beth was a fun inclusion.
This is a Lord Tier commission featuring three of this Lord Tier Subscriber’s favorite characters in the Studio. The idea here was pretty simple, with Yuji and Inosuke catching Ed with a pincer maneuver. They wanted to keep this one relatively tame, focusing on the tension and build-up rather than the down-and-dirty action I typically draw.
This page and the last both cover schtick I’ve had in mind for this match since the inception of the comic, so it’s nice to see them finally put to paper. The rest of the match will be all action, though, and we’ll see how Wolf handles Gojo’s natural advantages.
