I don’t know if I’ve addressed it before, but there’s been a bit of a pattern of me answering this type of Ask (pairing up “science” gals with other “science” gals) with this position. I thought it’d be fun to do the same with Hange, and Thomas Edison came to mind as someone who might be closer to Hange’s level than a lot of the sci-fi mad scientist characters in the Studio.
This is the last of the three Tomo-chan Is a Girl! MomSwaps I wanted to do, with Tomo’s best friend Gundou and her business mommy. Now that these are done, there’s actually another anime with three mother/daughter pairs I saw recently. I don’t know when it’ll be, but probably the next MomSwap I do will be the first of those.
Continuing the new tradition I started last year, for Christmas this year I want to take a little look at the annual Near Hentai Studios Christmas Party. A couple of these panels were ideas I had last year but couldn’t do, either because I ran out of space or because the character(s) I wanted to use hadn’t publicly debuted yet. Others are just ideas off the top of my head this year, and hopefully we got a fun mix of appeals. Also we get to see our 2023 Studio Santa again, and I immediately had this idea for how Scorpia would work in this role, which I think is fun. At any rate, I hope most of you can enjoy at least one of these panels, and I’m already looking forward to trying out more ideas next year!
Every year I randomly select a member of the Studio to be our “Studio Santa”. This is the third year we’ve done this now, and this year’s winner was Scorpia from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Scorpia’s a real gem in that show, and I’m quite fond of her, but her unique anatomy has deterred me from doing more pics with her. I think she makes a good Santa, though, especially since her default color scheme already kinda fits the theme. We’ll see her again at the Studio Christmas Party, but for now I hope y’all will enjoy this little pin-up.
I kind of had this funny idea for how to spin this Ask, I hope it comes across well. This is also a good excuse to draw Power’s super smart look, which I think is cute. Inosuke seemed like the perfect “student” for Power’s tutoring.
Diana’s a character from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon I drew back in 2015. Her and Shantae are really only being brought together in this Ask because the Subscriber likes both of them, but I thought it could be fun to do a little something with them. I don’t really picture them necessarily being “a thing”, but they’re both amicable enough I’m sure they’d get along fine.
I don’t necessarily see the Studio as a place where everyone is always ready to bone no matter what, so someone like Johnny who hits on literally every person he’s attracted to will still get plenty of rejections one way or another. Still, I thought it’d be fun to see him hooking up with someone who says “yes,” and Jasmine just kinda came to mind as a casual partner he could have fun with.
Kazusa’s a character I’ve only drawn a couple times but, even though I never watched Shōnen Maid, I’m fairly fond of her. I’ve liked the idea of pairing her with lolis for a while now, for reasons I don’t feel like getting into too much here, and this Dare was as good an excuse as any. This dare also appealed to me due to its wording. Because the Dare specifies the first loli she sees, I went a different route than choosing one for her. Using the same randomized selection I use for a variety of things like First Shoot partners, I went through to the first loli in a randomized list and it was Apple from Mother Up!. I haven’t drawn her in ages, but I think she makes a good pair with Kazusa here.
I’ve had a few Dares and Asks for Harkey submitted, but I never picked any of them up until now. I kinda liked the idea of her carrying this Dare out with Yor and Anya, even if they’re not biological mother and daughter.
Shantae is one of those characters I know more through hentai and fanart than I do her source material. Even having played her first game back in the day, I still mostly associate her with the various animations and such I’ve seen over the years. While she has plenty of nice characters in her home series she could be paired with, this association I have with her made her feel like a good First Shoot candidate, and I guess my Subscribers agreed as they voted for her in this poll. Her random partner is Judy, one of the two hosts of “Big Shot!”, the bounty hunter show the crew of Cowboy Bebop watch. While I couldn’t think of much specific for these two to talk about in their scene together, I do find the pairing of a cowgirl and a genie kind of charming.
