Surge the Tenrec Character Ask 2

When talking about characters I could pair Surge with on the SubscribeStar Discord, I off-handed mentioned Gabi at least once. I kind of liked the idea for reasons I can’t fully articulate, maybe at least in part because Gabi is aesthetically similar to Satsuki (the girl Surge debuted with, not the one Gabi’s shot with before). At any rate, I saw this Ask as a convenient opportunity to explore the pairing, and I think they look good together!

Aki x Megumi

Aki from Chainsaw Man and Megumi from Jujutsu Kaisen are two characters that are easy to compare for a couple of basic reasons. They’re both kinda moody, monotone guys who have to keep the energetic protagonists of their shows in check, both have canine spirit companions they use (the Fox Devil for Aki and divine dogs for Megumi), they both have kinda stupid-looking hairstyles, and both come from high profile MAPPA shows. I’m far from the first person to draw them together, but I figured a few of you out there might like seeing this pairing from me.

June ’23 One-Shot

The winning Subscriber-submitted script for June 2023 features Raven, Starfire and Terra having some fun with our boys Goten and Trunks. This one’s pretty straightforward, and kinda feels like the old One-Shots from early in my Patreon career. I hope y’all will enjoy it, I feel like it’s been a minute since we’ve seen Goten and Trunks tag teaming some folks (or since we’ve seen these three Titans together).

Studio Tour 11 – Birdgirl/Harley

I sketched this one a good while back. I’m not sure if I can articulate why I really wanted to do something with these two together, maybe just because I consider their respective shows part of a similar trend, but I wanted to bring them together so here they are. I can think of several shows that portray the heroes and villains dynamic as more like a form of roleplay (sometimes even romantic/sexual roleplay) instead of a battle between good and evil. The show Birdgirl spins off of, Harvey Birdman, is one such example, even. So it made sense to me that, in the Studio where crime and villainy are all pretty much out of the picture, characters who miss that dynamic might instead take to a form of mock battle that functions pretty explicitly as foreplay.

Satsuki Kiryuin Character Ask 2

I think Satsuki might care a little bit more about her perceived popularity than she lets on here, since she went through the trouble of making sure she had a “fan” on hand when she could’ve just answered this solo. I’ve been wanting to do more with Satsuki for a minute, and I’ve got a good handful of sketches with her, but I just never seem to have the time to get to them. As for her partner here, Kaori’s another lady I wish I’d drawn more often, and I think she makes an interesting pair with Satsuki for this Ask.

Aki Hayakawa Character Ask 1

Just a friendly reminder that this Ask was done before Makima was introduced to the Studio!

So, when I read this question I kind of had an idea of how Aki would see Denji’s choice. Hopefully his position is articulated well here, but basically I think he’d see it as kinda childish but respect his willingness to stick to it. Aki, on the other hand, has no such hang-ups, even though he also crushes on Makima in the series. I figured him showing just how much more open to “Studio life” he is would spice up his answer some. For his partner, I figured Momo would be as good as anyone, and is kinda a fresh pairing, I think.

First Shoot #13 – Yoko Littner

Yoko is a character I kept meaning to include in First Shoot polls, but kept forgetting about her. Before I really came up in the hentai world, she was a big figure in the community, even being the mascot for some R34 sites, iirc. I’ve never drawn any of Gurren Lagann, though, even though there’s a handful of good characters I remember from that series. For Yoko’s First Shoot she happened to get Kazuki, creating an amusing parallel between her and Yor, who got Toi in her’s.

Inosuke Hashibira Character Ask 3

I’ve been having trouble with Asks lately. I don’t know if it’s just a burnout thing or what, but I’ve been struggling to engage with them in interesting or fun ways like I’d prefer. Until this issue resolves, though, I figured I might as well just stick to Asks I think people will enjoy the art to, so here’s Inosuke and Kirishima.
