This is the second of the three Aoi Hana MomSwaps I have planned. Akira is Fumi’s best friend and eventual love interest, and while I like her as a character she’s less my type design-wise. That creates an interesting dichotomy here for this entry, because it’s basically the daughter I’m least interested in plus the mom I’m most into, of the trio. Anyway, I hope some of y’all will enjoy these redheads.
Guts has appeared in a couple other people’s Asks relatively recently. Two of them are Cloud and Stark, and now they’re returning the favor by appearing in his first Ask. I thought this would be a cute little thing to see, and I hope y’all like it.
There were a few Scenarios submitted this month for Valentine’s Day. While I didn’t choose this one specifically for the timing (even though this is going public in May, for Subscribers it came out on Valentine’s Day), I did pick it mostly because I really like the gems disproportionate to how much I’ve drawn them. I don’t think I’ve ever done anything with the three of them appearing together, and I believe this is a fun way to change that.
I’m not sure how much I have to add here, since I feel like Utena answers pretty succinctly. I thought of a few different heroines who I could go with while she answered, but ultimately I just kinda liked the idea of her playing with Pearl.
It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.
Anna was the last of the three-way tie for this First Shoot poll. While I don’t feel like I do a ton of Shaman King stuff these days, I did have a while where I was doing it somewhat regularly, usually with Yoh. Since almost all of the SK content I’ve done was yaoi, though, Anna just didn’t come up much. I had one Subscriber who pushed for her a lot, though, and she ended up in NHML nominations and similar things. I put her on the poll and, well, she just barely made it in with Nolan and Namari. With her random partner here, I thought they might connect over some shared frustrations with their respective partners/love interests/whatever.
So obviously there’s a lot of food-loving characters in the Studio, but I decided to focus on someone who cooks since I figure Laios might be missing that dynamic a bit. Yukihira’s a lot different from Senshi, of course, but it seems like he’s still giving Laios something good here.
For the Near Hentai Studio Tour, I have lists of characters who I think would be good fits for different locations. Both of these ladies are on the list for the library, and if there’s every a focused library update they’ll likely both be involved. Either that, or there’ll be a voyeur scene not unlike this one. Either way, I thought it’d be fun to see both Belle and Sylvia again with this Ask.
This is a first-time commission from a new Lord Tier Subscriber, a rarity ’round these parts. They’re a big supporter of Bolin, and wanted to see him with Bryce Callahan from Jock Studio. Jock Studio’s a new game from Mikkoukun, the creator of Camp Buddy (which I’ve drawn a couple times in the past). Where Camp Buddy was about gay camping, Jock Studio’s about gay jocks, which I guess you could figure out from the name. I mostly know Jock Studio through buzz about it on my Discord, so I hope fans of the game will enjoy seeing Bryce debut here with Bolin.
It’s been a minute since the first entry, so I wouldn’t blame anyone for forgetting about this series, but I finally got around to doing the second plot in the Grave of Teenage Asses. Eve’s someone who I think people want to see more of, and I figured she’d be a nice fit for this series.
Also, for anyone who’s interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
