So mild spoiler for Steven Universe, but Garnet is a fusion of Ruby and Sapphire, two gems who fell in love and eventually get married later in the series. So with that in mind, this is an Ask about couples dating, double dates, etc. I’ll talk at a later date about a different route I considered for this one, but I ended up pairing her with Winry and Ed. With Garnet’s vibe I had this idea of her kinda toying with them both while she gave her answer, which I hope will help illustrate not only her own habits in the Studio, but her partners’ as well.
Between making an AMV with it and rewatching it to show my younger sibling, I had a bit of a revisit with Nichijou last year. It’ll be a long time, but I’d like to do more with it eventually, hopefully. For now, I added Yuuko and her unnamed mother to my MomSwap list, and here they are. Yuuko’s mom basically exists to comedically overreact to her daughter’s shenanigans at home, usually to help end a scene or just give her someone different to play off of than Mio. Since her being a disciplinarian is one of the few things we know about her, I thought she could maybe dominate her rambunctious daughter a little bit for their MomSwap profile.
For those who don’t know, there’s a gag in Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out where her brother, Kiri, goes to a gym with Sakurai in it (without knowing who he is) and keeps getting incidentally aura mogged by him. This Ask is basically playing into that. I considered using Jun from Tomo-chan as Kiri’s partner, playing off the Ask he and Sakurai appeared in together, but in the end I decided to go with a completely different guy who still feels kinda comparable physically.
So this Scenario is building off of a previous one, featuring Corey’s parents and Nanami. I couldn’t really picture Yuji and Corey interacting the same way Nanami and Max did, however I could picture this. Corey and Yuji have different tastes (although I think Yuji’d be more open to Corey’s type than the inverse) but I thought it’d be cute to pair them with a couple Studio ladies who are connected but pair up well with them. I think this turned out to be a pretty cute little interaction, and I hope y’all will enjoy it.
I was thinking about this Ask for a while. I mentioned in the First Shoot I did with Denji and Haku how I had my own relationship with Haku being an early femboy gateway to yaoi character for me, and I thought he could do the same for Denji. I thought about other characters I short of realized I could view as pretty back then, and many of them just aren’t in the Studio. A few are, though, and I thought Zarbon would be a fun partner for Denji here. I always enjoy drawing Zarbon, and Denji already has a friendship with Raditz that could work as a bridge to knowing Zarbon. I remember as a kid seeing a lot of doujins of more bishounen-looking versions of Zarbon and Raditz as a couple, even though I’ve never really drawn them together myself. Anyway, I thought these made an unexpectedly cute pairing.
So this One-Shot was based on a handful of different threesome pairings. I tried to go with a different dynamic for each one that I felt suited the characters. In the first panel, Pan gets its from both ends from her grandpa and great-uncle. In the second panel we have a reunion of the Elric brothers with Winry. I used their end-of-series designs here, rather than the default Studio looks for them. Then we have an unusual Super/GT crossover, Dr. Arinsu making her Studio debut alongside her brother Degesu and Majuub, who’s a different version of Uub I haven’t drawn before. The threesomes were all listed as two-against-one, with this one having the siblings against Majuub. I tried a couple different poses of them both bottoming to him, but ended up with something a bit vaguer I think. I hope that’ll be alright. Lastly we have Yuta making his Studio debut with the Zenin twins. I focused on him and Maki here, since there’s a stronger connection between them, but Mai’s not completely left out. I thought it’d be cute to see the sisters bonding a bit here, too.
