Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend, Page 15

Here’s the next page of Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend. Like with the Cheetara page, one of my Lord Tier Subscribers used their Lord Tier commission to instead nominate Catra as Butt Witch’s next guest. They had no other say in how the page was handled, however, so beyond who’s visiting it’s a regular page of the comic.
I’m not 100% sure when I’ll get to the next page of this one, since I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed with projects lately. I do have several other guests in mind I’d still like to do, though, so I plan to come back to this one eventually.

Yuji Itadori Character Ask 6

So for a few different reasons I’m always hesitant to say two characters are a “couple” in the Studio if they aren’t in the source material. Even ones like Nanami and Tiana or whatever I usually just present them more as fuck buddies. The one exception is the handful of characters who I feel like are presented as a couple in the source material, but just aren’t confirmed (usually because it was taboo to do canon gay couples until fairly recently). Yuji and Inosuke, being from different series, obviously don’t fit into that, and I also just don’t know if I see their dynamic as romantic. They definitely feel to me more like friends who happen to fuck, like it’s easier to picture them goofing around than being heartfelt I guess. Anyway, I figured I’d try and answer this in their own words, with a little eye candy to boot.

MomSwap – Lydia and Delia Deetz

When “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” came out I began thinking about doing something with the old animated series design of Lydia. I only saw this show a handful of times as a kid, but I’ve seen this version of Lydia around a lot in various places. Lydia’s relationship with her step-mom is pretty strained in both the original film and the cartoon, although the sequel did show a more nuanced and sweet side to their dynamic.

Film Appreciation Club: Eren Jaeger

The Film Appreciation Club is a bit of a weird one, as I feel it’s a lot more open than the other clubs. Almost any character could hypothetically fit in this club, so the list of members is a bit all over the place. I started it with the canon film buffs, characters who talk about movies a lot in the source material. From their I extended it a bit to characters who have memorable or noteworthy scenes watching movies or going to the theater. Eventually I’d like to explore a bit more some characters who don’t have movies in their home universes, but seem like they’d be into them once they got to the Studio. That’s a bit trickier, although Eren here is kinda an example of that.

I added all three of the AOT core trio to this club based primarily off their little AU scene from the end of the finale film, but of course the mainline versions of these characters are never shown watching films. I think it’d make sense for the wider world of AOT to have early filming technology, but probably Paradis did not.

Anyway, as I’m sure some of you have noticed I’ve been trying to theme the pics of these cards a bit to their respective clubs. For the film club I didn’t really want to show them, like, posing in a theater or something, so I came up with the idea of having them instead pose with a film they’ve brought to the club. I think this could be a fun way to add a bit of character depth to any future FAC cards.

Himeno and Mustang

So I recently shared a pin-up of Yor for her second-place prize in a recent popularity polling tournament on my Discord. The first place in that tournament was Himeno, and this is her prize.
The first place in these tournaments always gets to work with a character of their choosing, provided it’s someone they haven’t appeared with before. This is meant to be an in-character choice, and I balanced a few options I thought Himeno might go with. In the end, she decided to go with Roy Mustang.
Mustang’s known as quite the heartthrob, and I think he fits well into Himeno’s tastes. I also liked using this to set up a bit of a relationship between Himeno and Hawkeye. I’m not sure what exactly it is, but I find the idea of those two being friends really appealing. So here’s Himeno’s first place prize!

Miss Sakaki Character Ask 1

For this Ask, I decided to try something I’ve considered doing many times before. Sometimes I draw a picture for an Ask and it’s just more vertical than horizontal. There’s a few solutions I’ve used to deal with this in the past, either zooming in and cropping out a lot, or tilting it to a diagonal angle or, if neither of those feel like they work, just leaving a bunch of empty space on the page. I almost did the crop solution for this one, but changed my mind last minute so we now have our first horizontal Ask. In the future, I’ll alternate between these two aspect ratios depending on what I think best fits the Ask.
As for the specifics here, Miss Sakaki is a famous lover of cats and cat-like things. Her answer was obvious from the onset, but I went back and forth on a few potential partners since there’s a handful of catgirls I could use. In the end, Monique and Catra seemed like a fun duo to pair her with, and I’m happy with the result.

Kento Nanami Character Ask 3

So this Ask kinda references back a couple of Aki’s old Asks. I used him here since he has a fairly memorable scene involving enjoying some coffee in season one, but in that scene he’s making his own coffee at home. However, we’ve established through one of his Asks that he has a habit of losing his mornings due to staying in bed with some casual fling, so when that happens he’ll grab a quick coffee from the Studio amenities. Also, and this was not intentional, but he’s also posed like Momo was in his ask with her way back when.
