CrossOver Kink #1 – Vegeta and Momo in the Park

This is the first entry of a new series, but something of a sequel to a very old series. Early on, I had a little thing going just called “CrossOver Yuri” or COY. I had a huge list of girls I’d randomly select from to make pairings. It was fun, but I stopped doing them ages ago.

This is a little different. This time, my list is intergender, and there’s an extra list of “kinks.” Now, many of these kinks are pretty vanilla, but the way this new series will go is like this. Two characters will get paired up randomly from my list, and then they’ll get a kink randomly selected as well. For this first entry, our winning characters were Vegeta and Momo Nishimiya. Their kink was Public/Voyeur, one that has a bit of leeway in how I handle it. I thought it’d be fun to put them on a bench in the park, and I used a randomizer to pick a Studio resident that’s present for the action. Tiana feels a bit awkward about it, but they don’t seem like they’re stopping any time soon.

I don’t really expect to do these super often, but I hope people will enjoy them when I do!

Tiana Character Ask 1

So there’s probably more restaurant owners than I can think of in the Studio. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one other one, but when thinking about this Ask I was kinda drawn to bring back Himeka Manaka, the mother from PriPara who works as a chef at an Italian restaurant with her husband. Her husband isn’t in the Studio, but I liked the idea of her and Tiana’s restaurants being close enough to consider each other rivals. Now, for a few different reasons there wouldn’t be anything resembling a real rivalry there, it’s not like the real world where there’s a risk of going out of business or anything like that. But I figured it was a good excuse to bring back this character I haven’t drawn in ages, and give Tiana another left-field anime character she interacts with in the Studio.

Subscriber Scenarios #1 – Ruining the Mood

So this is a new reward I’m testing out for my $20 tier on SubscribeStar. The idea is that Subscribers at this level or above can submit to me scenario ideas, little story-based scenes involving characters within the Studio (though they don’t have to be set in the Studio, like this one is). Each month I’ll choose one that interests me and do my interpretation of the concept. Since this is a test run, how people respond to the concept (both in and outside the tier) will help me decide if it’s something I want to try and keep doing every month.

For this idea I thought it’d be funny if Gojo was just annoying Nanami while he tried to relax with Tiana. That makes this one sort-of a sequel or epilogue to Closing Time. I thought maybe some folks might enjoy seeing this pairing return with a slight twist.

Closing Time, Page Ten

And this wraps up our little experiment. I think this approach to comics does work pretty well in allowing me to get pages out relatively quickly without interrupting other projects. However, it is a bit limited in the types of pairings I can do with it, I think. Nonetheless I will probably try other comics like this in the future. I have another in the works right now, which ironically enough involves a different Jujutsu Kaisen character, but for now I hope y’all enjoyed Closing Time as much as Tiana did.
