So twice now Corey and Yuji have hung out “Corey’s way.” Corey’s capable of being a fair guy, so even if it’s not his thing really he’s willing to give Yuji’s way a chance here.
Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!
So we’ve occasionally done these sorts of Asks, where the premise is built on two characters bearing a resemblance. Once of the points of comparison for Ed and Link, the prosthetic arms, isn’t really present in the Studio, but they’ve still got the blonde ponytail thing going on. I don’t think they’re quite close enough to warrant confusion, though, but I did think the idea of them being seen as a good pairing for a bigger top sounded fun. I actually had something I was toying with for a bit featuring these three characters specifically, and I thought this Ask would be a fun way to test the waters and see if y’all like this dynamic or would want to see more of them.
So Corey and Loren don’t really have much in common. Even within the Applebridge canon they’re removed by the tax brackets of their parents, plus Corey’s like three or four years older than Loren. Still, I thought there could be some fun in highlighting how different they are, especially since Corey recently made acquaintances with someone who’s way more Loren’s type. As for Corey’s partner here, I couldn’t think of anyone tied to Loren who would fit (unfortunately Loren doesn’t have a grandma or anything who’s been introduced), so I instead partnered him with someone I’ve meant to pair him with for a while but never had a good chance to.
Here is the One-Shot for November 2025, featuring a handful of different pairings/groupings, including a few of my OCs. Our first panel features Rocket Raccoon and Emma Frost from Marvel Rivals, and while I’m quite familiar with both in comics I know nothing about this game. Second panel is two of my Applebridge characters, Marko Laine and Casey Buckner. The third panel features Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In from Solo Leveling, and the final panel sees a reunion of Applebridge’s Max and Faith Park with Jujutsu Kaisen’s Kento Nanami.
This is a Lord Tier commission featuring three of this Lord Tier Subscriber’s favorite characters in the Studio. The idea here was pretty simple, with Yuji and Inosuke catching Ed with a pincer maneuver. They wanted to keep this one relatively tame, focusing on the tension and build-up rather than the down-and-dirty action I typically draw.
This page and the last both cover schtick I’ve had in mind for this match since the inception of the comic, so it’s nice to see them finally put to paper. The rest of the match will be all action, though, and we’ll see how Wolf handles Gojo’s natural advantages.
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.
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.
Last year we started a new Halloween tradition of a highlight comic set in the Studio Halloween party. Like last year, our randomly-selected costume model, Space Beth, takes the center panel while we check in around the party with the rest. I know some characters who appear here may be hard to place, especially in the glory hole panel, and I imagine some will only be identifiable through the tags in the public post. I’m pretty happy with how this comic turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing some of the Studio residents enjoying the spooky season.
